ATP check - date proposal but no quantity confirmation

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Could You tell me how to achieve such business scenario?

Letu2019s say there are no stocks for material. In material master data there is u201CIn-house productionu201D = 14 days.

I would like to display on sales order schedule line that material will be available in future, but system shouldnu2019t confirm quantity (Quantity will be confirmed later on when after 2 weeks material will be available on stock). Right now quantity are confirmed!

Could you give me some suggestions about it?

Best regards,,

/MK

In tcode VOV6 for your sch line cat activate the availability check with relevant requirement type in Material master.

Or simply, maintain Lead time in days with values as 14 days under request delv date section in your sales doc type (tcode VOV8)

Thanks & Regards

Thank You for Your help.

Giving Lead time in days in sales doc type (VOV8) fits almost my expectation. Unfortuatelly there are different days depends on material. For some materials there is 7 days, 21 days, and so onu2026

Could you tell me which exactly Requirements Group and requirement class should be used in to achieve this same result when I use settings in V0V8?

Think about using replishment time field in the material master MRP3 view, if the material is internally produced.

If the material is procured externally, then use the fields GR processing time in purchasing, and planned delivery time in MRP2 view.

Note that if replishment needs to be used, then make sure that in T.code OVZ9, uncheck Check without RLT field in order for the system to consider RLT.

You may need to copy one of the standard checking group (t.code OVZ2) and create a Z-type to assign in the material master Availability check field (MRP3 view).

Is there a chance that system will propose date but will not confirm quantity? Quantity will be confirmed when material will be on stock.

Then check whether you can use user exit EXIT_SAPLATPC_002 in include LXATPU02. Here you may try to set the quantity to 0. This looks a bit complex logic as once goods is in plant, this exit should confirm quantity.

By the way, will the user re-run the AC manually once the quantity is available in the plant? I am not sure why the business process looks this solution, but in my opinion, the quantity and date needs to be confirmed as proposed in the previous solution.

If the quantity is not reaching before the proposed delivery date, then it is issue with the business process which needs to be re-engineered/corrected.
