V_V2 vs VA02 availability check

[Former Member]

Hi All,

When we run VA02 that calls availability check, it gives out a correct schedule line confirm date. However, when we run V_V2 to do rescheduling, it gives an earlier (incorrect) date that results in over confirming quantities.

Any idea why this is happening?

Thank you!

Hi J Lu,

There can be many reasons for such a behaviour. V_V2 will begin by unconfirming all the confirmed quantities of the orders selected, and then assigning the confirmed quantities again. VA02 will obviously not do this as in VA02, you are only working with one order. Take a simple example:

Available stock = 10.

Sales Order 1 = Confirmed Quantity of 10.

Sales Order 2 = Confirmed Quantity of 0.

Sales Order 1 has a "Normal" priority

Sales Order 2 has a "High" priority

If you were to executes an ATP check in VA02 for sales order 2, you will get a zero confirmed quantity (as sales order 1 is using the available quantity).

However, if you were to execute V_V2 for the above, then the system first unconfirms the confirmed quantities. So we have 10 available. Then, it checks sales order 2 (as it has a higher priority) and assigns a confirmed quantity of 10. Sales Order 2 gets a confirmed quantity of 10 which is different to VA02. After this, system checks sales order 1 and as there is nothing available, assigns a 0 confirmed quantity.

This is just 1 example that explains how V_V2 could differ to VA02. I'd also recommend reading note 549064 to check if any of those points apply to you.

Hope this helps,

thanks for the reply noel! so, how do we make them consistent so that they would both show the same confirm dates?

[former_member223981]

V_V2 & VA02 are different. If you did not want V_V2 to change the date / quantity that has been set in VA02, then there is no point in rescheduling this order. You can set the "Fixed date & quantity" flag in the order to prevent it from being rescheduled. In that case, the order would retain the date that you see in VA02.

However, our issue now is. Let's say we only have 10 to allocate, it allocates more than 10 to multiple orders. Any idea why it is allocating more?

[former_member223981]

Well that sounds wrong. V_V2 should not over-allocate quantities. Do you have screenshots of the V_V2 result & CO09 (Checking Rule A)

here you go...see that it confirms 260 when we only have 259 receipts

Hi Lu,

Could you give more details about the issue.

Will be good if you can give details with an example.

here is an example:

on VA02, it gives a confirm date of 06/24/2015

however, on V_V2 it gives a confirm date of 5/27/2015

Hi Lu,

Why do you say, the new quantity confirmation date is incorrect..? Rescheduling is done, and quantities from a less priority open order is taken and allocated to this sales order..

This is the whole purpose of V_V2. If you want to change the priority, then make changes in the sort order fields in V_V2.

Thanks
