Availability check in Sales Order

[Former Member]

Hi,

In sales order availability check system check available quantity and if it is not there it propose next delivery date based on in house production time in Material Master.Now I maintain lot size dependent setup time and processing time instead of In-House prodution time.e.p.

Material A has 0 stock

Set up time 5 days

Processing time 1 days for 10 basse quantity.

Now if I book order for say 100

system should give me delivery proposal as bellow

5+100/10=15 days as In-house production time and give delivery date accordingly

i.e say if order is created on 01.01.08 then propose delivery on 15.01.08

But system on considering 5+1=6 days for any order quantity i.e. wheather it is 100 or 1000 system giving delivery date after 6 days from order creation date.

So what configuration I have to done if I want system to check lot size dependent delivery date in sale order availability check?

Dear Lalit

You plan using lot-for-lot order quantity, when you want to procure the exact lot size again.

This procedure is also referred to as the lot-for-lot procedure.

Prerequisites

You have set the indicator EX for lot-for-lot order quantity in the Lot size field in the material master (MRP 1 view) for the material.

Features

When planning using lot-for-lot order quantity, the system uses the exact shortage quantity (requirement minus available stock) as the order quantity in the case of a material shortage. At the time of the requirements date, the planned plant stock is zero.

Planning is carried out daily. The system groups requirement quantities from the same day together in one procurement proposal.

Thanks

Hi,

My prolem is not with lot size in order but with point that during availability cheack of sales order system does not consider lot size dependent time i.e. wheather my sales order is for 100 or 1000 or 2000 system give same delivery date (available date) in delivery proposal.It should consider lot size dependent time here and give appropriate delivery date in delivery proposal.

Hope you understand my problem and suggest some solution for this

consult PP and MM consultants with the help of them u can solve this issue

Hi Lalit,

There is no connection between AvC and Lot size defined in MMR/MRP1 tab. Just confirm with PP consultant.

I discussed with PP consulatnt here, he suggested me so.

Hi,

Yes there is no connection between availabitlity check and lot size,i mean to say during availaibility check of sales order system shedule that lot size independent of lot size time MENTION IN MM.There is relation between sheduling and lot size in MM for PP.But for SD how system do it I don't know?

Can you find this in SD?

Hi,

I understand availability logic but Can u tell me How system gives Delivery proposal date when we create sales order or when we carry availability check in sales order?How it shedule delivery date? when we create sales order?

I think ,

It consider In-house production time maintain in Material Master,but when i maintain lot size dependent in-house time it is not considering lot size while delivery shduling.i.e for 100 or 2000 or 5000 it is proposing same delivery date.

Please correct me if i m wrong and give solution if you know?

Hi,

During AvC system calculates Confirmed Delivery date starting from Material Availibility Date and carrying out Forward/Backward Scheduling.

When in MRP tabs, processing time etc. is activated, then system also undertake these times and throws the Confirmed Delivery date.

yes exactly,

but when i put lot size dependent processing time it is not considering this type w.r.t lot size

Dear Lalit

Based on the settings made in OVLZ ---> In Pick/pack time wrkdys, no.of days specified, for example, if 5 is given in this field, even if stock is available on the same day of order creation, system will allow to do PGI only after 5 days from the date of order created

Thanks

No,

I mean supose i ve 0 stock of material

Now i ve to create sales order and give delivery date to customer

so when i create sales order system should take lot size dependent time maintin in work sheduling screen

i.e. if for lot 100 it requires 20 days to manufacture system should consider this 20 days and give me dlivery date after 20 days.

When order quantity is 1000 it should give me date after 200 days

Hope you get point what i want from system

[Lakshmipathi]

Dear Lalit

For information, availability check control is being taken care based on the settings you make in OVZ9.

Here, for example, select "01" and "A" and click the blue lens on top. On the right side, you can see a tab "In/Outward movements". Whatever boxes you select, your availability check acts based on that.

In normal circumstances, from SD point of view, boxes against "Include Purchase Orders, Include Reservations, Include Sales Requirements and Include Deliveries" will be selected.

Thanks

Hi Lalit,

In availability check against ATP logic system doesn't consider the quantity simply it assumes the enough quantity will be available after replenishment lead time.

I think you can achive your objective if you consider the availability check against product allocation.

In this we allocate the specifice quantities based on Product profile, Product allocation object , Material, Customer etc.........fro every period.

Lets Jan 1000,

Feb 1000,

consider the required characteristics.

like that you maintain the max amount of quanitities in the those peroids.

Then when ever the availability check runs, the system checks whether sufficient qty available in that period if not it confirms the partial qty in that month then it confirms the rest of the qty in the next month.

You can configure this with the help of PP consultant.

In SD we configure this SD-BF-Availabilty chck- AC against Product allocation.

see MC94 transaction to get the initial idea on this process how it works.

Let me know if you need further info.......

i ve no problem with availability but with shduling of delivery in sales order.it is not considering order quantity in shduling i.e. wheather order is of 10 or 100 or 2000 it is giving same delivery date for all qty. which is not true.

[Former Member]

Lalit,

1) first of all- remove replishnment lead time if is there any.

2) for configuration part take pp guy along with you to go over settings again.

dependency you need to checkout.

availability check uses requirement type which is linked with requirement class.and requirement class much have to do with planning material procurement.

so get it configured or to say modify it with the help of pp guy as per your requirement.

changes with requirement type lead to change in other MRP settings of your material master.

after you done with it check once more in ovs9 (availability check control for respective checking gp and checking rule)

pay attention this check should not considered replishnment

lead time.

rest of the configuration will remain same as per stand.

this what I feel you need to review .

Hi Lalit,

Well as you know that there's no relation between AvC and lot size. Now the settings in MMR, work scheduling tab is related to in-house production i.e means the material(s) produced in-house will be dependent on lot-size.

That means this is only related to materials internally procured, not to AvC. Once the material is available, the system will carry out AvC which is independent of lot size.
