Availability check against process orders

[Former Member]

Availability check against process orders, checking the time of the scheduled finish hour, not only the date.

If a process order is due to be finished on a certain date the availability check will confirm the quantity (our delivery terms are Exworks, we don’t plan time for pick/pack and loading, nor is there any need for QA checks, as soon as a pallet is produced it’s ready to be shipped). The customer may come early to pick up the goods while the order is ready for loading a few hours later. In the customer master it’s possible to define times for delivery to customers, in the sales order there are times for material availability, pick/pack, loading etc, in the process order there are scheduled finishing times, but the availability check is only based on the date. Is there another way of setting up the availability check? Have anyone done this before?

dear stig

When creating or changing a planned order you can check the available capacity. The planned order must already have been scheduled. For every operation the system checks whether there is sufficient capacity at the appropriate date for the requirements of the operation at the work center where the operation is to be processed. The capacity requirements of other orders or operations at this work center are taken into account here.

You call up the capacity check in planned order processing for an individual planned order. Starting from the planned order header select the menu options Edit ® Capacity check. The system checks for the planned order selected whether there is an overload situation. If this is not the case then the check is terminated. You get the message: "Capacity checked. No overload found".

If there is an overload situation, then the system displays a dialog box in which the overloaded capacities are displayed per period. From there the system branches to capacity leveling in change or display mode so rescheduling can be carried out there if necessary. In display mode the system branches to the capacity situation in the case of an overload situation.

Hi Stig

The following are the mandatory for Availability check to happen--

1. Must be swithced on at the requirment class level and at the schedule line level.

2. Reqmnt type must exist by which a requiremnt class can be found

3. There must exist a plant and is defined

4.Checking group must be defined in Material Master records(it controls whthr the system is to create individual or collective reqmnt)

A combination of checking gropup and checking rule will determine the scope of availbaility check.

Following are the configuration parameters:

1. Define Checking Groups

Menu Path: SPRO>SD>Basic Functions>Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements> Availability Check with ATP Logic or Against Planning>Define Checking Groups

You define checking groups with which you specify the type of requirements records the system is to create when processing sales orders or deliveries

2. Define Material Block for Other Users

Menu Path: SPRO>SD>Basic Functions>Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements> Availability Check with ATP Logic or Against Planning>Define Material Block for Other Users.

3 .Define Checking Groups Default Value

Menu Path: SPRO>SD>Basic Functions>Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements> Availability Check with ATP Logic or Against Planning>Define Checking Groups Default Value.

4. Carry out Control for Availability Check

Menu Path: SPRO>SD>Basic Functions>Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements> Availability Check with ATP Logic or Against Planning>Carry Out Control for Availability Check.

5. Define Procedure by Requirements Class

Menu Path: SPRO>SD>Basic Functions>Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements> Availability Check with ATP Logic or Against Planning>Define Procedure by Requirements Class.

6. Define Procedure for Each Schedule Line Category

Menu Path: SPRO>SD>Basic Functions>Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements> Availability Check with ATP Logic or Against Planning>Define Procedure for Each Schedule Line Category.

7. Determine Procedure for Each Delivery Item Category

Menu Path: SPRO>SD>Basic Functions>Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements> Availability Check with ATP Logic or Against Planning>Determine Procedure for Each Delivery Item Category.

8. Checking Rule for Updating Backorders

Menu Path: SPRO>SD>Basic Functions>Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements> Availability Check with ATP Logic or Against Planning>Checking Rule for Updating Backorders.

9. Define Default Settings

Menu Path: SPRO>SD>Basic Functions>Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements> Availability Check with ATP Logic or Against Planning>Define Default Settings.

For the questions for 2 to 4 pleas echeck availability check against ATP logic and then set TOR according to your plant A , B and C. Also dont forget to activate the TOR switch in procedure determination at schedule line category so that 100% order delivery taken and checked.

Regarding the error message :-If you give error message in this case,the end user will not be able to go ahead with document processing.Idealy not suggested.Anyway if the stock is not avialable the system will not confirm those qty(Depening on the settings)

Hi

This was very helpful, but how does I do this check from the sales order. When I create a sales order, I want the sales order to tell me if I'm able to deliver based on that there are process orders ongoing. So I want to now if I'm able to confirm a delivery to the customer in for instance 4 hours through the sales order?
