Latest Sales Order gets confirmed quantity

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

I have one issue with one of the plants and one material XYZ.

1. There is no stock in the plant. Sales Order is created for 10 qty. In MD04 I can see that the sales order has generated requirement and the stock is in minus.

2. Now after some days I have created one planned order for 10 qty. So the entry is passed in MD04 with plus 10 qty.

3.When we check the stock in MD04 it says 0 available.

4. When I create a new sales order now for 3 qty, the strange thing is that the newly created sales order is having confirmed quantity of 3. The material is availabe right on the day this order is created.

THe question is - Why the second sales order got the confirmed qty when the stock is not there. THe planned order stock should have been consumed by the first sales order itself. For the second sales order the material availability date should have been in future considereing all the days it takes for production of the material.

Any suggestions regarding this?

Regards,

Vaishali.

Please check the ATP quantities in CO09.

It is a common problem.

Thats why SAP has backorder processing.

Run a schedule job with t-code V_V2.

MD04 is not suitable to analyse the availability situation. This is documented in SAP note 89362, which explains why CO09 should be used instead of MD04.

CO09 shows the availability according to the scope of check. Within the scope of check, you can include / exclude various receipt / requirement elements, for example Planned Orders. MD04 will not display according to the scope of check.

This really depends on how the setting is made in the column Accumulation for the availability check group in t.code OVZ2.

Set value 3 (required quantity when created and confirmed when changed) or 2 (required quantity when created, no cumulation when changed), depending on the business requirement and test by creating new sales orders and planned orders. For better understanding of the settings impact, read the help by pressing F1 in the field.
