Product ID / Material in Shopping Cart - Meaning of Availability Check

128 Views

Deaer Experts,

could you please help me understand the SRM standard behaviour (7.0, CS) with respect to the availability check in the shopping cart.

I am now starting to use the EBP for internal goods also. When a material is put into the shopping cart, the "Availability" detail tab occures.

From my high level understanding, in that detail view we receive information with respect to the R/3 stock of this material. But what exactly does it mean, when for example in the shopping cart the message gets displaye, that the required quantity is available; or partially available; or not avail at all?

Does the system assume, that the requirement that is stated in the shopping cart, should be satisfied from already existing stock in R/3?

In the example that confuses me a bit, it is the case that there are 3 pieces on stock in R/3. And when I say in my shopping cart that i want to have 4 pieces, than after the availability check in the shopping cart i am told that there are only 3 pieces available. When i than assign the line, the quantity of the shopping cart position automatically reduces from 4 to 3.

But what if i still want to have 4 pieces? Is the availability check and/or the acceptance of the pieces that are only available mandetory?

Thank you very much for your help.
