issue with STO

[prasnop]

Hi Experts,

I have created stock transfer order (plant to plant- same company code i.e Intra-company).

I have stock 100 for the product 55.

Supply Plant is - 1000

Receiving Plant is - 2000

When I create the STO the system is doing availability check  (in the plant 1000-supply plant) in APO and confirming the stock 100 to the receiving plant 2000.

So in the above case I have stock 100 qty and system has confirmed 100 qty to that STO.

STO order has saved.

again,

If I create the STO for the product 55, supply plant 1000, receiving plant 2000, for the STO order qty 100

Result is - system is confirming the qty 100 for that SECOND order also.

Question - Why system has not showed 'supply shortage' for the same product, same supply plant, same receive plant when I create the STO second time. The system should not show the available qty if I create the STO second time for the same product, supply plant, receive plant.

Why the system is showing available qty for the second STO even the system has confirmed the available stock 100 when I have created the STO first time.

second scenario-

If I change the customer (receiving Plant 3000) for the same product 55, supplying plant 1000-

Result is - its is also confirming the qty 100 for the customer (receiving plant 3000)

Why?

Please let me know whey system is confirming the qty second time even the STO is already confirmed at first for the same product, supply plant, receive plant?

Why system is confirming the qty second time even changes the receiving plant to 3000, for the same product 55 , same supply plant 1000,

Thanks,

Prasnop,

Enter either of your STOs in change mode(ME22N), perform an availability check.  Give us a screen shot of the availability situation.

Then, click 'Scope of check'.  Give us a screen shot of the initial scope of check screen.  Also tell us which requirement elements are selected and which receipts elements are selected.

Hi additional information,

I found something in SMQ1 in ECC once PO is created (plant-plant).

I am not sure which is relevant to this issue & what is this.

It is appearing in SMQ1 in ECC once PO is created.

Hi Prasop,

You should add BI category as one of your requirements. Which is a conrel plant to plant transfer category assigned generally.

Check once you have created the STO it is getting reflected in APO box , Check / sapapo/ rrp3 to see if the stop is getting reflected in the elements tab

If not assuming you have activated  you integration model correctly for STO check the error you are facing in SMQ1 .

Hi Manoj,

As you said I have add the BI category in the RP check control.

but in smq1 still the error is there.

The order is reflecting in rrp3

But If I go and re-check availability in the ME22N then system is not showing any qty in APO Availability screen.

Nothing IS showing if go to the change mode in the PO.

the qty are available when I have created the PO but If I go to change mode of the PO which I have created then there is nothing I could see the qty in APO availability screen.

Prasnop,

The SMQ1 entry is not relevant to your problem.  You can see that it is not being sent to your SCM system (Destination is 'NONE').

Enter either of your STOs in change mode(ME22N), perform an availability check.  Give us a screen shot of the availability situation.

You have not yet displayed the availability screen from your ATP check that I requested earlier.  Execute by selecting the line; then Environment > Availability. It would look something like this:

Hi DB,

This below screen is appearing when I creates the PO (ME21N).

Prasnop,

Well, I didn't ask for ME21N, I asked for ME22N.  No Matter, the problem is probably the same.

The problem is that you are ATPing based on requirements, but GATP is not recognizing any requirements, only confirmations.

Show me the top of the 'Scope of check' screen, that you cropped off in your original screenshot.

Also, give me a screen print of the ATP page in the product master of the source location for this material.  I am particularly interested in the requirements class (Check mode in SCM).

Also, do you have a requirements profile created in ECC for this plant (OLME > Purchase order > Set up STO > Assign delivery type and checking rule)?   If so, display this profile in SCM (IMG > APO > GATP > General Settings > Requirements profile).

Best Regards,

Hi,

Looks like you do you include STO in your scope of check in the global ATP settings.
Check order categories assigned to the scope of check.

adding to further information ..

after save the STO for the product 55, supply plant 1000, receiving plat 2000

Availability check will do in supply plant in STO, customer is the 2000 (receiving plant) in STO

system is confirming the qty to the sales order also if I create the sales order for the product 55, plant 1000 EVEN after i saved the STO.

third scenario is-

First create the sales order for the product 55- sales order is confirmed for the product/location

then

If I create the STO for the product 55/location then STO is not confirming. showing supply shortage screen.

Hi Prasnop,

Since you seem to be picking stock from open inventory, your "delivery/required dates", either on the Sales Order or on the STO, would drive which demand is satisfied first. Unless I got your requirement completely wrong, what you are seeing seems a standard behavior in the Make-to-Stock space. System will switch the stocks in order to meet the demand with the "earliest" requirement dates.

Let us know if we misinterpreted the behavior u r seeing

Hi Yeri, Thanks for your inputs.

I do not understand the text above.

Procedure -1

Actually the issue is

Step 1

I have created the STO for the product 55,

supply plant is1000,

receive plant is 2000

stock is - 100

result is - system pop-ups APO Availability check screen for STO as below

I have created the STO for the qty 150 but system confirmed the qty 100 for the STO (why because available stock for the product  is only 100).

I saved the sales order..

Step-2

Again

I have created the STO for the product 55

supply plant 1000

receive plant 2000/3000

result is - system pop-ups APO Availability check screen for STO as below.

I have created the second STO for the qty 175 but system again POP-UPS APO AVAILABILITY CHECK screen  and shows the stock available qty 100 even this available qty 100 has already been confirmed/committed at first STO.

Please clarify any one please.? Please let me know if you need more details on it.

Step-3

First I have created the sales order for the product 55/ plant 1000

stock - 100

result is -  system pop-ups APO availability screen for Sales Order as below.

I have requested the sales order for the qty 202 but system show the qty 100 on APO availability screen.

Question- Why the system is showing the availability qty for second STO and Sales order even it has been committed to first STO?

Procedure 2

First I have created the sales order for the product 55/plant 100

stock - 100

result is  - system pop-ups APO AVAILABILITY screen for the SALES ORDER.

I saved this sales order.

Again I have created the STO for the product 55/supply plant 1000 / receive location 2000

system APO APO availability check screen show - SUPPLY Shortage screen.

Here in procedure 2 I understand that system has not confirmed the qty to STO because it has committed the qty to the sales order in procedure 2. So here the stock not available then APO pop -ups supply shortage for STO

Procedure 2 is  correct & I understand the system behavior.

But Procedure 1 I do not understand .

Why system is confirming the Qty to the second STO and Sales order?

Please clarify me if you understand this issue.

Thanks,
