Availablity check in sales order considering the Raw material stock/procurement

Hi Gurus,

Our client Production process requires  the availability check at order level to consider the procurement time required for the Rawmaterial (BOM component of the FERT, whose sales order is taken) in cases when this RM is not available in the plant, and Availability check should not consider this procurement time when this RM is available in the plant.

ie in first case, it should consider the total time for in-house production as well as the time required to procure the rawmaterials, along with all other times that we use like Gr processing time, packing picking etc.

In second case it should not consider the RM procurement time, but only the inhouse production time and other times as applicable.

To my understanding, Availability check at order level will only check the time given in the MRP view of the FERT, and it does not check anything about RM stock or RM procurement time.

Can you please give me some suggestions to meet this requirement of the client (client is into Food Product Manufacturing).

Your quick response will be very helpful

Hi Gurus,

We have not been able to find a proper solution through any of the available user-exits

The client is not willing to change the production process, he is following now.

So we are planning to do custom development through ABAP work.

Please give your valuable suggestions/experience/ feedback, if anyone has done such a custom development in the past in your projects

Thanks

Your assumption is wrong--system will always take all the relevant times in confirming goods to customer.It does not matter whether type is FERT/RAW...

If not found through backward scheduling--then will go with forward scheduling..

i was unable to understand one thing--when your customer asked one Finished good and

one Raw good in a single sales order(without taking this procurement time into avabl.Check for raw Goods--how you can confirm to your customer)...

Pl update...

Dear Phanikumar,

the order is only for FERT, FERT is made from ROH. Hope u got the scenario.

This will not come under SD area but relates to MM/PP integration since the business process what you described is for a given FERT, system should function in two different ways for its related components.  For this, you need to check with your PP consultants to achieve this.

Thanks Lakshmi G.

Yeah, actually our PP consultant also is working on this.

Is there a possibility of doing multilevel availability check, ie when creating a sales order, availability check for the FG in the Sales order, and simultaneously if the stock is not enough, do availability check of the ROH (the BOM Component), and  give a combined result accordingly..?

Also, will any fields of MRP views of MMR can make a difference in this case..?

You can try with user exits intended for ATP as recommended in the following note based on material type:-

  • Note 1644443 - Documentation on User-Exits in the area of the availability

That is as and when ATP runs for a sale order, with any of the exits listed out in the above note, you can validate for the material type which would be different for components and accordingly, write a coding in such a way not to consider such of those components.  But ensure that the user-exits are critical and should be tested carefully as cautioned in the note.
