Mass Checking Availability in Deliveries

[Former Member]

We have a requirement to check material availability across multiple deliveries at once. We create deliveries based on availability check that includes released production but we want to check it (before picking) to confirm its in unrestricted stock. Has anyone had a similar request and how have you handled it.

I dont think this is possible.

What is the point of  it? The system will check if the stock exists in unrestricted stock when you attempt to post the goods issue.

Before that, an avilability check can be trigered when you create the delivery (And it you create a number of deliveries together, you essentially get a mass availability check).

We allow delivery creation based on released production in the availability check so that gives our shipping coordinators time to get the delivery transporation planned. We want to make sure that any delivery that was created based off released production is now confirmed into inventory before we generate the pick for it (we use WM). It is also a mechnism to follow up with production when a production order is past its completion date.

In transaction 0VLP, you can turn on an availability check during delivery creation. Is this sufficient for your requirement?

Thanks for the reply but No we create the deliveries for items that are in stock or have released production for them which works fine .. but days later after they been routed ,etc. we want to double check to make sure things we are putting on a pick are now in stock. its almost like we want to do a different avaiability check days later (to just include items in stock) .

dont think that is possible in standard; I have never come across a mass availability check for deliveries anyway...
