MRP STO from multiple plants

[former_member978618]

Hi All,

Is there any way that we can configure standard SAP to look in multiple plants before it can create a STR for special procurement key ?

thanks for your help.

Thanks for your response.

Looks like all my issues can be handled only in APO

As a temporary solution, I'm thinking of maintaining source lists for a material with multiple plants in it and manually assigning them as per the available stock. But I'm missing something for the config/setup.

I'm not able to do that coz it is giving me an error no source has been determined.

I checked the checkbox in purchasing view and maintained source list. Is there any other stuff that I need to do ?

Chandru,

If it is your only business requirement is to manually search other plants for stock, you don't need to do anything special.

When you are in the sales order, perform your ATP. On the Availability control screen, you will see what the ATP situation is against the plant contained in the sales order. If the proposal is unsatisfactory, you can clik on the "other plants" button at the top. It will propose a list of plants that can supply this product. Select the ones you want, and proceed to the next screen. It will show you the possible commit dates available for each of these plants. Select the one you want, and it will then perform a standard ATP check against that plant. If you accept the results, it will change the plant in the sales order item to the one you have selected. Save.

Yes, a bit of work. But, no more than you would have to do if you manually searched for stock, and then transported the stock to the original plant.

Hi

The required functionality is Available in APO with GATP (Global Available To Promise). In R/3 the ATP check only referes one plant. However GATP Apo can check across mulitiple plants across multiple locations.
