Hello,

AVC is noting but Availability Check...........and i guess the interviewer wanted you to answer the steps involved in configuring Availability Check in SD.

Please check the following link if you are further looking for Availability configuration settings.

Dear Shayam

When we create a sales order, there are several basic functions which are executed automatically Among these basic functions, availability check and transfer of requirements are crucial.

The system first prepares schedule line containing the information on the desired delivery date and quantities. This information is passed to MRP and an availability check and transfer of requirements are executed

First the system carries out backward scheduling and establishes the material availability date = desired delivery date - transit time - loading time - picking & packing time and on this date an availability check is carried out using ATP logic which means available to promise quantity = total warehouse stock + incoing orders - outgoing

along with the availability check the requirements also are transferred to MRP.

the configuration involves following

1. switching on at schedule line category the availability check and TOR

2. configure the availability check using ATP and using the checking group and Checking rule

Availability Check is an integral part of business process it determines the if the desire deliverable quantity can be met on requested delivery date or not. Then it passes to Material Requirement Planning. Or we can also say.. availability check is nothing but checking of availability of stock which is placed in the order , sys carries out this check through a available to promise (ATP) logic =warehouse stock +planned receipts (incoming stock)-planned issues (out going stock)

thanks
