SRM - EBP - No reservation in backend

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are on SRM server 500 with SP 5. We defined in config that if stock is available in backend, it should create reservation otherwise externel procurement.

In first case, where everything is fine in R/3 i.e. stock is available in that plant and sloc. When we create SC and do availability check, it throws error message "The required quantity is neither available on

another date, nor is it available at another plant" i.e.this functionality is not working.

Where am I doing mistake ?

Hy Anupam,

I already experienced troubles with this functionnality. The FM that is called for availability check in R/3 didn't work the way we wanted.

To get what's wrong have a look in table BBP_FUNCTION_MAP to find the FM that is called for AVAILABILITY CHECK for your R/3 system version: it should be called something like B40B_AVAILABILITY_CHECK.

Then you''l be abble to call the FM directly and find what's wrong.

Once you've find the cause of the error, you'll be abble to make your own FM, and assign it to the availability check action with the BADI for driver determination.

Hope it'll help.

Regards.

Hi Vadim / Anupam,

I have exactly the same error. I checked the table "BBP_FUNCTION_MAP" and my correspondent FM is:

Object: BUS1001

Method: Availability

Type: R/3_4.70

Function: B40B_MATERIAL_AVAILABILITY

This FM requires the following parameters:

PLANT: i know this is my plant 😃

MATERIAL: this is my material code 😃

UNIT: -

---

> What should I put here (mandatory)?

CHECK_RULE

STGE_LOC

BATCH

CUSTOMER

I dont know which values should I enter in order to do the check.

Any help ?

Regards,

Diego

Hi Vadim

I executed the FM with the folloing parameters:

a) Plant

b) Material

c) Unit

and I get this error in the CONTROL_RECORD section:

R_KEY VALUE

ERROR RFC destination not found

Do you know which RFC destination is required ?

I would really appreciate your help,

Hi,

The control record table is used locally by the SRM to call the correct backend function: it has to be filled with CORE_DESTINATION and CORE_LOGSYS entries as far as I remember.

You'd better call the Meta bapi function instead: It should be called META_MATERIAL_AVAILABILITY or something like that.

Regards.

Vadim.
