The different types of stock in APO can be distinguished using stock categories. As per standard APO, the unrestricted stock will have category CC , the stock in quality inspection will have category CF (i think that is what you are referring to as quality stock).

If you go to /n/sapapo/rrp3 and view a material branch, that carries both unrestricted and quality stock, then you can see that they appear under different categories (CC and CF). To exclude quality stock from your planning / GATP all you have to do is go to the category group ST1 and remove CF from that category group. But remember this will have impact on all materials and hence is a very critical change .

Hi,

I think you can exclude the Stock in Quality Inspection from planning by removing the flag field in Product Master>Demand Tab>Available Stocks>Available Stock Types.Here you have to uncheck the flag for Quality Stock..But I am not very much sure about this.Any functional consultant can throw some light on this.

In F1 help of this field, SAP has provided some standard settings also which you can refer.

For differentiation between stocks, your query is answered already in previous post by Aparna.

Hi Sunil

You can set the check control in GATP availability check to exclude the ATP category and assign the check group in the APO Product Master accordingly.
