dear SAPien

Availability check:

Configuration setting:-

Availability check with ATP logic or against planning:-

Define checking group:

Checking group define what kind of requirement record system use to create when sales order & deliveries are processed for this material. We can create 2 kinds of requirements records

Individual requirement records: that means system creates requirement record for each S&D document.

Summarized requirement Records: That means system creates requirement records under certain condition in the material master record. There are 2 type of summarized requirement record:

Summarized requirement records for each day.

Summarized requirement records for each week

Define checking Action;

Here we define 01- daily requirement -B 02- Individual requirements -A

Where b-total record per day

A-single record per day

B) Define material Block for other users:

When 2 users tries to confirm the quantities for the sales order for same material at a time system will be confused to confirm the quantities both sales orders. So has to avoid this kind of situation we can block the materials from confirming the quantities for 2 users at a check, check block

C) Define checking group default values:

Checking group is going to be determined depending upon the material type & plant.

-Go to new entries, specify material type, ex;-FERT

& plant = checking group of availability check: 02

D) Carry out for Availability check:

Here we define checking rule for the Availability check & allocate them to the checking group. The checking rules specify the scope of the availability check. For a respective transaction, means which planned receipts & planned issues systems has to taken into consideration and also it determines whether system has to take RLT into consideration.

Action:

*Select checking group of availability check-02, checking rule=01

*Go to details icon, & check which planned receipts & planned issues system has taken into consideration for availability check

*save it, exit.

E) Define procedure by Requirement class:

Here we define requirement class whether on availability check & TOR should be carried out the setting that we carries out at requirement class level they are at global level. There settings automatically copied into define from of requirement class and vice versa.

Action:

*Choose requirement class: 041 & check availability check & TOR (requirement)

F) Define procedure for each schedule line category:

Here we carry out fine tuning setting for availability check at schedule line category level. Here we define whether system has to carry out Availability check for particular transaction.

Ex:- if we want to implement a availability check w/o TOR for a particular transaction. According to settings at requirement class level TOR & availability check function activate & those setting will be copied into the schedule time category by default, so that at schedule line category level we deactivated TOR

G) Determine procedure for each Delivery Item category:

Here we switch on or switch off availability check functions of a delivery item category

*choose item category ‘TAN’. & specify the appropriate value.

H) Checking group for updating back orders:

Here we assign checking group to a plant that rule specifies for individual application, according to which the availability check is carried out;

I) Define Default settings:

Here we define the result of the availability check.

*Choose your sales Area, & check fixed dates& Qty options & specify ‘D’ or ‘E’

Where: D- Dialog box in the case of shortages (one time delivery)

E- Dialog box in the shortages (delivery proposal).

Yes availability check happens in Background before Confirming qty in sales order.

Please check

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

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)

Hope this help
