Hi Divya,

What the above people are explained is correct ..Once again i am explaining simply..

In Availabilty Check the step Material block for other users there block the material in the combination means check the filed and save it.

Then there is one more field in define checking group 01, 02 etc there u can find one more filed qty block.. Keep it in ur mind..First dont check this field..

First create one sales order with material A dont save it, now open one more screen and create one more order with same material when u entered the material and qty automatically one popup box will come with message like Availability check is not carrying for this materail.. This is called material block for other user..

I said one more filed called qty block in checking group defination check the field and save then try the same scenario u will not get the message..

This is the difference u can find..

For Second Question

you want to block 25qty for this sales order right..

When availability check is carrying for this material after creating sales order automaticall that 25qty is blocked for this order that u can find by using T.code CO09

After saving this order, if u want to create one more order then system will consider the remaining 75qty only..

i hope this will help you..

Rewards, if it is useful..

Hi,

1) As we know very well, availability check is checking the availability of a material for an order placed by the customer. Material block for user indicator is used to prevent the end users to confirm the same material for different orders.

If you select this field, the material is blocked during the availability check and other users cannot:

Make changes in the material master record

Create purchase orders for the material

Create orders for the material

If you do not select this field, the material is not blocked during the availability check. In this case, if many users are simultaneously checking availability, the results of the checks may not be reliable.

2) Both are same, which is describing the Transfer of req. is happening in daily orders basis or indiv, order basis

3) Back order is an order which is not confirmed completely, also which lies in the past dates.

Hope it is useful.

Reward if useful....

Dear Divya

In IMG activity you define for each checking group and initiator whether the material master record should be blocked for other orders during the availability check. If it is blocked, you cannot create two orders for the same material at the same time.

Using the Initiator field you can define the block separately for sales and shipping.

Example

A block may, for example, be necessary if the material stock is low. In theory, if the material were not blocked during the availability check, two orders could be confirmed with the result that the quantity available is not sufficient for both orders.

The backorder processing functions enable you to list relevant sales documents for specific materials and process them from the point of view of confirmation. You can assign available to promise (ATP) stock to outstanding order quantities. In addition, you can withdraw already confirmed quantities and reassign them to different items

Backorder processing is only available for materials with individual requirements. Summarized requirements are usually used for materials sold in bulk quantities. Backorders for bulk products are not, as a rule, processed manually.

Thanks

Checking group

The checking group controls whether the system is to create individual or collective

requirements in sales and shipping processing. In addition, a material block for the

availability check with transfer of requirements can be set here. The checking group can

also be used to deactivate the availability check. This option was created especially for

the assembly order so that when the bill of material is exploded in the assembly order,

the individual components, if necessary, can be classified as non-critical parts as far as

procurement is concerned.

The checking group specifies in combination with the checking rule the scope of the

availability check. It is proposed in the material master record on the basis of the material

type and the plant, and copied into the sales and distribution documents.

_ Checking Rule

You use the checking rule to control the scope of the availability check for each

transaction in sales and distribution. You also specify whether the check should be

carried out including or excluding replenishment lead time. The individual checking rules

define by transaction, which stock and inward and outward movement of goods should

be taken into account for the availability check.

1.If a material has technical defects or is to be discontinued, you can block the material.

If you set a block, orders, deliveries and invoices containing this material cannot be created at all, or only with a warning message. The system reactions to a blocked material depends on the type of block set.

2. the same table-field MARC-MTVFP

3.Using backorder processing, you can list sales documents relevant for requirements for particular materials and confirm them manually. You can assign available-to-promise (ATP) stock to outstanding order quantities. In addition, you can withdraw already confirmed quantities and reassign them to different items.

Backorder processing is only available for materials with individual requirements. Summarized requirements are usually used for materials sold in bulk quantities. Backorders for bulk products are not, as a rule, processed manually.
