Material Determination - Critical Issue

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

We are using material determination functionallity in our project.

The reason for substitution here is non availability of stock of ordered material, because of which system seeks the stock of substitute material.

The way we have configured is: When material is entered in sales ordered, system check stocks of entered material, if available partially provides the available stock & seeks for substitute material, where even if partial stock for substitute material is available, one more line is created for this material.

This line created as a sub item (like in sales BOM). Futher even after seeking substitute the order quantity is not fulfilled one more line is created for the original ordered material with a backorder tick.

The order items look as under:

10 000000000005893343 50.000 EA Cover

11 000000000005893343 9.000 EA Cover

12 000000000005893653 3.000 EA CYLINDER HEAD

13 000000000005893343 38.000 EA Cover

10) is entered item.

11) entered item available stock

12) substitute item available stock

14) unavailable backorder stock for entered item.

At this point of time we can deliver the order items 11 & 12 with further processing.

But later when we upload the stock for entered item, availability check cannot be carried out in the order, since all the items become grey out, when we create first delivery.

This is a very critical issue in our case.

Please suggest soon as possible so that we crack the issue.

With Best Regards

Dhananjay.

Hi

I'm not aware of the item category TAPA and believe it is not a standard one. Have you activated Av Check in delivery. If not pl activate it and try once to create delivery maintaining ATP quantities of item 10.

Thanks,

Hi

If you Activate Availability check at Delivery level also...then system will check for the availability of the first material and so on before creating the delviery.

Thanks for your reply.

Please note that the entered item 10 behaves as text item & it does not move to delivery.

Only item 11 & 12 moves to delivery.

Item 10 has item category TAPA whereas 11 & 12 has item category TAN

Please tell me after carrying out first delivery creation in above manner, how do I carry out availability check for the remaining quantity of item 10

Please help

Regards

Dhananjay
