ATP check for item category TAB

[Former Member]

Folks,

we have item category TAB on our back to back sales orders and will create an individual pourchase order.

However, there are occassion when there is stock and we want the ATP check to consider and not necessarily create a purchase req.

is there any way to achieve this?

Or because TAB has Special stock indicator "E" type it is standard SAP and will always not consider stock?

Thanks

The purchase requisition is automatically created, there's no availability check behind item category "TAB". The stock is managed in the special stock segment (sales stock).

If the case when the stock is available is exception, you could change the item category manually to a normal one (e.g. TAN).

Guys,

thanks above and you have confirmed my thinking on this one.

The business like the direct link in the schedule line from the sales order in the fact you get the purchase order button with TAN you do not get that link

Hello Milton,

Item Category TAB is used in Individual Purchase Order. similar to Third Party Order Proces

go VOV7 and selecting TAB, you will see the detailed settings for the item category.

You can create your own item category by copying TAB to ZTAB and remove special stock indicator.

and create new sales order with item category ZTAB and check the results.

Hello Milton,

In that case you can use the standard item category TAN instate of TAB.

For the individual purchase order, the item category is TAB

You are in make to order scenario in this case go to VOV7 here you have Special Stock=   E for item category TAB.

System will not consider the unrestricted stock in this case it will only consider customer specific stock type E

For  sales order( MTO order) without special stock indicator E and you can do the transfer posting in MB1B with 412 E referencing the order no sales order stocks.
