Exclusion of storage location from availability check

[Subh]

Hi Experts,

Is it possible to exclude a particular storage location for a component material from showing up during that material's availability check/batch determination during process order creation or release ? That is if 20 kg of that material is available in a storage location 3000 and 30 kg in location 3010, we would like the quantity in the location 3000 to be not available for copying during batch determination/goods issue whereas the 30kg should be available.

Alternatively, during availability check for the components of the order is it possible to exclude a particular storage location (irrespective of which of the components may be lying in that storage location) ?

Regards

Sm.

Dear ,

Frist of all availability check while creation of process order is at plant /order type combination where as material availity check control as per the MRP-3 view Availability check control key (OPJJ) , does not have option to exclude or include storage location stock because it is at client level set up.

Now , if you are stick to only material availabilty check you can have two option :

1.Follow the MRP Area Concept -Include Storage Loaction (02) stock , plant and other set up but MRP activation is a clinet level changes .Here you can restrict the material availability check for SL : 3000 .If you need detail answer that can be posted .

2.Trasfer the stock in Block Stock .To transfer the stocks (unrestricted) from storage location A to the blocked stocks in storage location B This needs MB1B Movement type 311 to transfer from storage location A to storage location B and another transaction.MB1B Movement type 344 to move stocks in storage location B from unrestricted to block to blocked stocks

Once the stock goes to blocked it wont be available to for availability check

Hope it is clear to you

Hi

send me the detail answer for this

[Former Member]

did that really solved your query

as per help file "The exclusion of storage location stock is only relevant to the planning run. You can, however, still make withdrawals from this stock?

can you check, if you create a SO for that plant (where storage location) does this stock is exluded?

because for this requirement at my client we are implementing an user exits to avoild this element in the availabilty check and working with SAP on this solution as well. if SAP resovles then may be we can get OSS for that. i will provide OSS if SAP provide any solution

Pravin,

ATP in ERP is some of the fussiest programming in SAP. I would think twice before I would play with userexits here.

I personally would be more likely to change the status of the stock to 'Blocked'. Blocked stock can be made available/unavailable for ATP in the standard scope of check (OVZ9). Blocked stock can be made available/unavailable for MRP in the standard stock definition (OPPI).

If I had to do some custom programming, I would be thinking about creating a job that automatically finds any stock in this storage location, and then changes its status to Blocked.

Hi

i think i was not able to explain you my point properly for which we are going for user exits.

anyway read the note number 1516598 (released yesterday for us)

you will get my points.

sorry i was not talking about stock i was talking about block stock indicator how it behaves in MRP and ATP.

Pravin,

That note has not been released generally yet. I suspect it is only released for your company.

Anyhow, if you have solved your problem, that is all that matters.

Hi,

I think you can activate MRP area for your plant . Then you can assign sto location which you want to include in MRP .

Once you do this assign this MRP in material master.

By this you can do this but still some setting may require just check out from other experts.

Hi Sanil,

As i understand it, by defining MRP area for a component and assigning storage location to that area and following up with appropriate master data settings i may be able to generate storage location based requirement but i want to know how i can have storage location based availability check, please suggest.

I think its possible , Pls check the transaction MMSC

[Subh]

Hi Gopi,

Thanks for the prompt reply. But as i understand it, MMSC only offers the opportunity to assign or delete a storage location for a material. But i don't want to add or delete storage location. I just want that the system should not consider a particular storage location while doing availability check. Please clarify my understanding if it is possible through MMSC.
