STO Creation - Availability check

[Former Member]

When you create an STO & if there is not enough stock in supplying plant, you got a WARNING message saying something like u201C of Material XXXXXX, only 49 EA are available on desired dateu201D. The STO is saved but the system put a date of 12/31/9999 into the COMMITTED DELIVERY DATE for that material/line item. Even when additional materials are available, since the COMMITTED DELIVERY DATE is 12/31/9999, SAP will not try to deliver them. Now the business is asking to change this warning message to error message (06 450 Message number). If I change this warning message to error message, I believe it will impact all other type of STO's, PO's & SO's also. We want this warning message to be changed to Error message only for a particular STO type. What are the options available to us.

You can control document type by putting some logic in some user exit.Suppose If PO first line item has no stock available and other line items confirmed in this case if you make it error that message then you can not save the STO?.For smooth flow STO keep the message to warning and tell the Business to follow the process.If Business really insisted to stop creating the PO if any line item is not confirmed then you can try for user exit.
