sales order based production orders GR restrictions

[Former Member]

Hi,

i work mostly on sales order based planning and

I manufacture many sub assemblies and consume it to manufacture a finished product.that mean i have many sum assemby production orders and finally i create the production order for the sales order line item and produce it and do GR for the production order and sell the material.

My requirement is that i want to control the GR of the header material production order if any sub assembly production orders has not yet been GR.

but i am not interested in using colletive order concept.

please suggest how to control that as many of the users are not doing GR for the sub assemblies and doing GR for the saleable material and selling the material.

One solution might be that through avaialbility check you can not allow the Release of Header material Prod Order if Sub assemble is not available in Stock.

Dear,

What I mean is if you put a condition that if the sub asembly quantity required for assembly is already available, then you can perform the GR for the assembly.

I hope you got it.

Hi,

i agree with your version. but in my case i will sell some of the sub assemblies as they are spare parts and they are sometimes sales order line items also.

so i cannot control in availability check. I HOPE I CAN CONTROL AT GR FOR THE HEADER PRODUCTION ORDERUSING EXIT. but my question is how in the case of partial delivery .

please suggest

you put a condition if the sub assembly qty required for order is saffient by partial deliver of sub assembly

i think it should be okay.

Hi,

thanks for your valid input. but i am using the same order type at the lower assembly. where i want the release the order thought the raw materials are under shortage.

the availability check is with respect to the order type which i can configure.

please suggest

Dear,

Avevalbility check depends on 2 things

checking rule and checking group

Checking rule is maintained for each function like production order it is PP and SD order it is A.

Checking group is maintained for a material code and plant combination in MRP3 view.

The combination of Checking rule and checking group will decide which stock, receipt element and issue elements have to be considered for avealability check.

Checking rule is assigned at order type. You can have different checking group for assembly and sub assembly and can have different rule.

Even you can go for different order type for finished material, and all subassembly you can have different order type. In Assembly order you can make setting so that if material is shortage existis release is abondended.

come back if required

You have many options
