Availability check based on Customer_master.

[Former Member]

Hi,

In my company we deal with two kinds of customers, one is government customer and the second is non government customers. For government customers we have to supply all goods on time. So when creating sales order for government, system should do availability check for materials. We have some agreements with non government customer and hence the system need not do availability check for non government customer.

Basically here availability check is based on Customer and not on material. How to do this.

Also please let me know, how to do availability check on the background mode.

Thanks,

during customer master creation whats the differentiation you are following to identify Govt/ Non govt customer. Use the same combination to run Availabiltiy check during Sales Order Processing -incorporating the logic in user exit MV45AFZZ.

Do not maintain Availability check at Schedule line/Material/Requirement class levels.

Hi Sai,

Thanks for your reply. Can you please explain this in detail? What logic do we have to include to achieve this?

Dear Vijay Kumar

Yes I think you can achieve this. While creating customer master for government, you assign "01" for the field "Delivery Priority" in Shipping tab and "02" for normal customers.

By doing so, whenever you create order, availability check will give priority to government customers.

The reason I asked if the goods supplied are different is because if goods are different for Govt and Non Govt customers, the solution could have been simple.

Availability check or ATP is the process of checking the available quantities of a material. It determines if the desired delivery

quantity can be met on the desired date. It is basically related to Material Master & MRP planning.

If you go by configuration settings for ATP, I don't think availibility checks can be done based on customer.

There is option of availability checks against product allocation which is not applicable to your case.

You did not mention whether the goods sent to government & Non government customers are the same.

please advise.

Hi Kamesh,

We sell the same material to both Government and non Government customer.

Thanks
