PP : Availability

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

Is it possible to set availability check at the time of order creation and order release?

If I set like this, would there be any impact on any areas?

Please reply with your excellent experience.

Thanks in Advance

Hi Raja

For MTO availability check is at Sales order level. Since all the production items are trigger after sales order. So the setting for this is you have to do at Requirement class Level.

Please go to IMG- Sales and distribution-Demand management- Define requirement class. where you can see settings for Availability check. Other as per MTS setting.

Below the Availability check at MTS is explanied in detail

Availability check is done for component level.

If FERT material has to be assembles, it will check whether the item for FERT ie is HALB is available for FERT production are not.

This is done at 3 stages normally in PP

First

At Plan order level. After running MRP Go to Plan order change mode and do manual component check. At this time production order is not generated. So Order type will not come into picture.

The data available to the system is only material master and Plant. So it will take checking rule from plant parameter and checking group from the material master and do scope of check combining PP and 02 or 01.

If MRP group is assigned in material master it will take checking rule from MRP group assigned not from plant parameter.

Second

Once the plan order is converted into production order at that time also Availability check is done via order type ( PP 01 ) and bussiness transaction production order create ( 1 ) for plant

Third

Then the availability check is done again at the time of production order release via order type (PP01 ) and bussiness transaction order release ( 2 ) for plant

Hope this is clear

Hi,

Availability check can do at the time of,

1. Order creation

2. Order release

3.Order save.

During the availability check depends on the setting system will release or reject the order if missing parts found.

Availability check can do for Material, Capacity and PRT availability.

During sales order creation availability check will happen, and system will show the committed qty depends on setting.

Hi Raja Ram,

You can set the availability check during order creation or order release

As you will be knowing there are two availbility checks-

Material

Capacity

Its ideal to check during the planned order stage itself,So that you can plan accordingly & release your orders to production

Pls revert if you have further queries

Reward points if useful

Thanks & regards,

SVP
