Table VBAP: Requirements Total with Blank Value

[Former Member]

We have an order which shuld have appeared in the Delivery Due Report. But for some reason it was not appearing. And it was found that that particular Sales Order has a blank value in the Requirements Total field within table VBAP. The field name is VBAP-SUMBD. Does anyone know why this field is blank? From the F4 list i can only see values of A, B, C & D.

Details of the order:

1. RDD = 12/12/06

2. MAD = 12/07/06

3. CDD = 12/12/06

4. 1 schedule line with confirmed qty

5. Stock availability as of 12/07/06 = More than enough

Hi,

This field is maintained while defining checking groups. Pls check what is the availability check used for your sales orders (01 or 02).

Then go into SPRO>Sales & ditbn>basic fns>Availability Check and Transfer of Requirements>Availability Check>Availability Check with ATP Logic or Against Planning>Define Checking Groups.

Within this node, you will see that against your checking group - the total sales and total delivery requirements field are blank. pls fill this up with A/B/C/D according to your requirements and this is what you see in VBAP too.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Siva, thanks for the hints. In my case the availability check group (04) has appropriate value of "A" in the Total Sales & Total Dlv Reqs. So, not sure why the VBAP-SUMBD field had a blank value in it. I also don't see any changes of availability check in the material master since the order creation date.

I remember of having seen this case some time back in our production environment. And this is another recurrence. Not really sure what could have caused it. I was kind of checking if this is a known issue in SAP and if there's any OSS Note for this or not.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

In Sales : general/plant view of the material master check if it is 04 or not for the particular material.

Thanks.

If the VBAP-SUMBD is blank then the item is not relevant for requirement. Normally this happens

1) when you have a configured item (Main item & subitem) where the requirements total (VBAP-SUMBD) will be A for the Main item and for the subitem will be blank

based on the requirement type

2) when you have a APO for GATP where you will have the main item and sub item - Main item will have this field blank. and sub item that is relevant for delivery will have A for this field.

Check the following

1) Try to create a delivery manually -

2) Check in table VBBE whether the sales requirement is created for this line item if no

3) Check the requirement type -->requirement class (requirement should be checked)
