Transfer of requirements to MRP

[former_member224727]

In current setup system doesn't transfer sales order requirement to MRP (MD04) if it is not confirmed by ATP. So non confirmed sales order do not appear in MD04 screen and nightly MRP job do not create dependent planned order to fulfill that requirement. This is fine.

Now issue in case of stock transfer PO. Even though they are not confirmed by ATP, stock transfer PO do appear in MD04 and MRP do create dependent planned order to full fill that requirement. How can we break this link? Business doesn't want to transfer stock transfer PO requirement to MD04 if it is not confirmed by ATP.

Reply appreciated.

Hi Eric

I believe that what you want is the result of a new functionality introduced by note 1571800. Please make sure that this note is implemented into your system and check the description of this new

functionality provided on the note:

These changes add the field "Fixed Date and Qty" to the stock transfer
item. In the table control, the new column with the checkbox is
displayed at the very end.


[...]


You can use the checkbox "Fixed Date and Qty" to define that the
material requirements planning (MRP) is to refer only to confirmation
schedule lines after the availability check takes place. Accesses are
provided on the date that the availability check confirms in the
supplying plant. For underconfirmation, the confirmed dates and
quantities are different from the desired dates and quantities. You can
no longer carry out rescheduling for the relevant purchase order item.

If the note is already implemented on your system, you need to check the flag "Fixed Date and Qty", so that MRP should refer to the confirmed ATP dates.

In addition, the customizing setting " ATP Confirmations Relevant for MRP" on the customizing activity "Assign Delivery Type and Checking Rule", which is under the stock transfer customizing, allows you to controls the system behavior.

The F1 help of this customizing setting provides the following information:

"If the supplying plant cannot confirm the entire requested quantity,
the system issues an error message that you can configure in
Customizing (MEPO 155, System Messages) and you cannot save the
related documents. Therefore, only select the checkbox if you have
configured the availability check so that the system generates the
appropriate confirmation schedule lines for all request schedule
lines. This is the case, for example, if you run the availability
check with replenishment lead time."

We already have "Fixed Date and Qty". I can see this checkbox at STO but this is not checked in ATP screen. How to go and select checkbox? Where is that config?

[Caetano]

Hello

This field is available for each STO item (it is generally the very last field).

I do agree Cateno with you but how to auto select this checkbox, so we don't need to select checkbox manually at STO?

Hi Eric

I'm not sure if this is possible through customizing. Maybe you can try to change it using BAdI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST  method PROCESS_ITEM.
