Promise material and lock it

[Private_Member_434628]

Hello Friends,

Suppose that I created a Sales Order on 07/16, marked as full delivery, and the ATP did this:

1st Material -> There is stock

2nd Material -> Will be in stock on 07/30

As it's full delivery, both materials will be delivered on 07/30. We can see that on MD04.

However, if another Sales Order tries to deliver the 1st material before 07/30, the first Sales Order will "lose" the material to this new one, so, on 07/30 there will be only the second material for the 1st Sales Order.

How can I lock the 1st material, so that another sales order cannot pick it up?

I considered checking "Check sales requirements" in t-code OVZ9 option and executing V_V2 to reschedule the Sales Orders, but it's not possible, because "Delivery data and quatity fixed" field (Sales Order -> Item -> Schedule Lines tab) is checked and V_V2 ignores items with this check, besides, the sales area doesn't allow that planned dates be changes when executing V_V2.

Thank you,

Marcelo

I'm not an SD expert, but I recall there were many discussions on how to reserve stock for the customers. This might be a similar scenario:
