Availablity Check in Sales Order with Total Replenishment Lead Time

Former Member

Dear PP Consultants,

This is regarding the TRLT field functionality during availablity check of Sales Order.

I understand the TRLT field is defined manually in Material Master MRP-3 view as the sum of the longest lead time of raw material, in-house-production time and floats.

If during the availablity check of Sales Order, the raw material which is having the longest lead time is already available in stock, can the system calculate the TRLT dynamically and propose the delivery date in sales order only based on in-house production time??

Is there any setting that can be made so that during availability check of Sales Order, the system considers the stock of raw materials and then propose the confirmed dates?

Your early respose is much appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance for your valauble suggestions.

Thanks,

Kishore

Kishore,

It is an ON or OFF condition, what I mean is that during availability check if the stock+receipts are not sufficient enough to cater the Issue elements, then system takes the TRLT into consideration and proposes the confirmation date for the schedule line. R/3 System cannot consider individual component availability and their corresponding TRLT for confirming the availability of the product.

Hi,

The RLT is not dynamic, and is not related to the stock situation of the components.

It's only purpose is to give an estimated availability date for the finished material (sold) when no better information is present (like a procurement element).

The only way I know to get an availability date taking into account the availability of components, is the assemble-to-order scenario. In this scenario (MTO!), a production order is created automatically during the creation of the sales order. The system can then use the production order features like scheduling and availability check of components to propose the availability date for the finished product.

Besides that, you can get much more complex solutions for ATP using APO's ATP engine.
