Changing Availability Checks logic in Inquiry

[former_member590316]

Hi gurus!

I'm novice in availability check. Please, help me in the question.

I have a requirement from business to take into account delivered quantity during availability check in inquiry. Now, when I do availability check I go over to new screen with "APO Availability Check: Delivery Proposal" title. In confirmed quantity field I get the sum of ordered quantity. How can I consider delivered quantity here?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

if I understood correctly you have a sales order with partial delivery and you want to do an atp check in APO for the remaining requested qty (still open quantity).

On the delivery proposal screen while APO Availability Check only the still open quantities (ordered qty - delivered qty) shall be visible as only this will be atp checked. In other words only the still open quantities will go to APO for an Availability Check.

Regards,

Tibor

Yes, you understood me correctly. Can I change the logic of calculation of open quantity? I need to take into account the delivered quantity.

Not clear why you want even the delivered quantity also to be considered. There is no logic ATP to perform for delivered quantities. Always, it will be for open quantity.

I have such a business requirement. Maybe, Is there any badi or user exit, which helps me to do it?

I have such a business requirement

Hope you are aware the full abbreviation of ATP. If I were you and my client ask for such a weird requirement, my first question would be "Do you want to deliver over and above the ordered quantity"? Obviously, the answer should be NO in which case, what I told earlier will holds good.

[former_member590316]

It's possible to deliver above the ordered quantity.

For example:

Inquiry 10 pc.

sales order 1 (5 pc) with reference to the inquiry. outbound delivery 1 (6 pc) with reference to the order 1.

sales order 2 (2 pc) with reference to the inquiry. outbound delivery 1 ( 2,1 pc) with reference to the order 2.

Open quantity in the inquiry: 3 pc, this quantity is displayed as required.

But in fact, we need to require only 1,9, because 8,1 is delivered.

As per standard SAP Config. Inquiries don't support AvC / TOR / Product allocation for Inquiry items.

To get this enabled for your inquiry, you can make use of Schedule Line Category (VOV6) - BP (MRP).
Get that Sch Line Cat BP determined for your Inquiry Item Category in VOV5.

Jyoti,

Thanks for your reply, but I have no standard availability check, it's from APO.

[jpfriends079]

Is this already enabled for normal sales?

In OVZJ - Sales Area: Default Values for Availability Check, can you check, what is checking rule maintained?

And in OVZi - Assignment of Requirement Type for Sales Item, what is requirment type maintained for your Item Category for Inquiry?

Thanks,
JP

Jyoti,

In VOV5 Sch Line Cat BP is assigned to my Item Category.

In OVZJ I have checking rule E. In OVZi we have own requirement type Z11. When I open details I can see the next Setting for requirements type:

- requirements class z11

- availability check

- requirements check

- allocation indicator blank

If it will be necessary, I can write which configuration of Z11 I have.
