issue in committing material for production order

[kalyanaramachandran_krish]

Hi, we are facing an error situation that when we try to release production order there came an issue that few component committed quantity is less than required quantity. When we check the stock of the components they were having enough stock to consider for this production order.

What could be the other reasons or cause for this situation. Can any one suggest for the correction action.

would reservation cause this problem when i check the component availability overview it has ATP 0. will it cause this.

When i look in to the system there were several Orders that were in CRT state that were using same components as used in the current order under discussion.

Hi,

Use CO09 report to check the demand & supply status. There might be stock, but as you mention, the same could be committed to other orders.

So if you want the available stock to be commited for your order, you can use CO06 to change the commitments manually or you can use COMAC with 'Reset Availability Data' check box ticked. System will then commit as per selection made.

Once the commitments are done you may proceed to release the order.

Hope the above steps are clear, but If you need any further assistance, revert.

Regards,

Vivek

Chandran,

Yes, if your availability check scope is defined to check including order reservations/reservations then system would not able to commit due to already reserved quantity.

If the already created orders are no longer going to be used than set the status of these orders t TECO. If its required as explained by Mr. Vivek you can do backorder processing/availability check.

Hi All

Even MD04 also seems to be showing as if the material is available. Pl. see the data against 13/12 hereunder.

06.01.2011 Stock 6,370/ 6,370

08.12.2010 Ord.DS 4604767106/00100 80-/ 6,290

09.12.2010 OrdRes 420252 2,740-/ 3,550

13.12.2010 OrdRes 420268 3,420-/ 130

availability overview CO09 shows as follows for the component:

13.12.2010 OrdRes Totals record 3,420-(receipt/req) 0(confirmed)

13.12.2010 OrdRes 420268 3,420-(receipt/req) 0(confirmed) 0(ATP quantity)

scope of check:

to include

purchase order

include dependent requirements

sales requirements

deliveries

include shipment notifications

all reservations

check releases for transport orders only

take all productions orders into account.

With this scenario what can i do get it working.

Hi,

Based on the info which you provide, there appears to be enough stock, but check in MMBE, whether the stock exists in the storage location in which the demand exists. If not do a transfer of stock via MB1B, mvt. type 311.

The CO09 report shows there is no commitments done, so go to CO06 & do some manual commitments or once the above step is done, do an Av. check run in CO02.

Revert if you face issues.

Vivek

Yes, I will do the same way as suggested. Hopefully this will help troubleshooting the issue. What could be the cause for this issue which i should mention to the user?

Hi,

Based on your last posting, I notice a huge qty. of reservations, do a recheck at your end. System can commit only if it finds enough un-allocated stock (simple as that).

So if system is not doing allocations, then just check status in CO09, stocks in SLoc in which the demand exists & also a check on the checking rule. It should give you a clear picture.

what is exactly we do at CO06 to manually commit the component of the order.

What are inputs that we enter in this. If any one has manual anywhere it would be better.

[Former Member]

Hi,

In CO06 specify the material, plant & checking rule (maintain the same as per the one assigned to your order, check in OPJK if you dont know). Once inside, check for the lines in blue, double click on the order which you want to allocate & specify the qty you wish to commit.

If there is unallocated stock, system does an allocation, if there is shortage or no open allocatable stock, then you will have to first de-allocate the stock from another commitment, by zeroing the qty.

Do this first in your sandbox & once comfortable do in PRD client. Alternatively you can run Av. check via COMAC with reset check box ticked, system will do the needful.

As regards to manual, you will have to refer to the WI's which would have been prepared during the implementation, get in touch with your IT colleagues.

Vivek

Hi Vivek,

Thanks for your strainful help so far. Basically when i discuss with the user what should i say as the cause to this issue.

Do you have any work instruction that can be shared with me. for COMAC and CO06

Edited by: kkr_chandran66 on Jan 6, 2011 1:37 PM

[Former Member]

Hi,

A simple explanation that there was no commitments due to shortage of stock or other order having commitments & hence no commitment to the order you refer to.

If only I had an option to do Ctrl C from my brain & do a Ctrl V on a document, could have prepared a WI right away, unfortunately I am not able to do that, so you will have to navigate thru your GUI screens for it.

Good luck.

I dont know if strictly applies to your issue, but consider that "reserved" material and "commited" material are different concepts. The first comes from MRP and the creation of orders. You can reserve far beyond the actual stock or receipts (no limitations for that). Commitment requires that stocks (or planned receipts) are really available, i.e., the stock has not previously been commited by some other production order. You can reassign this commited quantities using CO09.

When i commit material using "comac". The commitment happens for all material components not for single componenets.

While doing comac, if a material whose stocks exists only will be committed.

few other materials can still remain uncommitted(because stock non-availability).

How to commit these uncommitted materials.

After commiting material has the order has to be released again?

is it possible to commit only one component using "comac".

[Former Member]

Hi,

If your Av. check rule considers only existing stocks to be considered during Av. check, then system wont commit if no stock exists. But if you're Av. check also considers supply proposals such as PO, Production order etc. then Av. check will commit based on this.

I would strongly suggest to first analyze your business need & setup the Av. check rule accordingly. Once that is done, you can do Av. check run in COMAC. Doing Av. check one part at a time is not a wise approach, unless there is a dedicated resource to do this job.

Regards,

Vivek

When we try to commit the material using COMAC the material is still not committed.

But when we check the stock there are enough stock of the material exists in the system.

What are the other possible reasons that could lead to this scenario.

Basically the system should not consider any reservations and other requirements when we try commit a material using COMAC.

This is my understanding, Is this correct?

Can we in any other ways commit material component to production order?
