while browsing the forum, many experts here mentioned in old threads that MRP and availability check are two different (independent) concepts. I am really confused on this one. let me put my understanding here and plz experts help me if I am wrong with a figurative explanation, so that will be easy for understanding.
Assume this is the scenario as of today.
Plant stock for material x u2013 100
Reservations for material x u2013 70
Incoming receipts for material x u2013 50
So net stock = 100 + 50 -70 = 80
sales order arrived for material x u2013 100 and availability check is done. Results of availability check says 80 can be confirmed and 20 can be confirmed on later date.Transfer of requirement for quantity 20 is done to MRP. Mrp runs and creates planned order for 20.
In the availability check config ovz9 if I say donu2019t consider reservations, then when availability check is done for 100 quantities..system will confirm 100 because available stock according to system will be 100+50 = 150. So transfer or requirements are not sent to mrp.
So isnu2019t mrp run directly dependent on availability check?
