Exclude free of charge in available stock.

[Former Member]

Hi,

Currently in our system, every sales order created decreases the materials quantity available to sell (before delivery is done). On many occasions we have created free of charge sales orders, which a customer is required to collect within a specified period of time. During this time, the stock of the FOC orders can not be used.

The free of charge order type (ZFD) has been defined for this type of orders.

Is there a way to stop free of charged sales orders from consuming stock until collected (delivery/bill is completed).

Any help would be appreciated.

Nicholas,

Am assuming ATP check is active in your system at sales order level. for the FOC, de-activate the TOR(Transfer of requirements) at sales order level and keep in active only at delivery level. You might choose to have different item categories and schedule line categories for FOC and hence can de-activate TOR check at Sales Order level for FOC orders.

check tcode OVZ8.

Or alternatively, you can develop a custom routine in requirements for Transfer of Requirements which filters your FOC orders in tcode OVB8.

Regards,

Raghu.
