different availability check for VA01 as for VA02

[Former Member]

Hello,

For the availability check, during sales order creation (VA01), the system takes into account the requirements transferred to MRP. In some cases, an order cannot be confirmed, even if there is sufficient stock according to CO09.

If I change the order (VA02) and run the availability check again, now the system can confirm the order.

It seems that SAP performs a different type of availability check during VA01 as for VA02. Does anybody know where in SPRO I can customize the settings for this?

It is possible in SPRO to customize different settings for creation and change of sales document. Via SD-Basic Functions-Avail. check and transfer of req's-av. check-avail. check w ATP logic-define checking groups.

Via the field 'accumul' it is possible to change the scope of check for VA01/VA02

Hi there,

In VA01 system doesnot confirm the order even the stock are available because the available stocks are reserved for other orders which are logged in prior to your order.

There is no separate availability check for VA01 & VA02.

If at all items are confirmed in VA01, why again you have to do availability check in VA02?

When you say that when you change the order in VA02, what changes you have made? Changes to any material data, customer master or delivery dates will again trigger availability check.

In VA02 if you want to see the available quantity you have to click on display availability. Not Check Item availability. If you click on Check item availability, tehn system will again carry availability check.

hello, friend.

interesting issue. but please clarify...

1. after the order quantity is confirmed in VA02 availability check, and the order was saved. did you try VA02 for the same order again and find out that the quantity was still confirmed, or did it revert back to when it was during VA01?

2. if yes, are you using credit management?

regards.
