Concept of availability check is to verify if the stock is available at the time of creation of sales order. If available, when can it be ready for delivery (as Packing, arranging for transportation, etc may have lead time) & if notavailble, when it would be available considering Packing, arranging for transportation, etc lead time.

Availability check whether material is available on required delivery date (backward scheduling) or not. If not available on required delivery date, system will propose next available date (forward scheduling)

Configuration steps are already mention by one of the responders.
