In this IMG section you can make AFS-specific settings for already existing sales document types. You make these settings per sales area.

In the detail screen of a sales document type, you can make AFS-specific entries for the following:

  1. Order scheduling
  2. Availability check (ATP)
  3. Grid determination
  4. Allocation
  5. Season processing

Here you can make entries that control the order scheduling in the sales document dependent on the sales area.

  • You can specify the strategy with which the order scheduling should be carried out in the document.
  • You can also influence whether the order scheduling should be automatically triggered (as a result of certain changes to the document, for example) or if it must be manually called.
  • In addition, you set whether the order scheduling run should always be run with the strategy that you have now assigned in Customizing to the sales document, or whether the user should have the option of choosing a different strategy each time.

The AFS availability check is carried out to determine whether there is sufficient stock to fulfill a sales order requirement at SKU level for the requested delivery date.The availability check for AFS materials is based on the R/3 standard availability check. Additional AFS-specific control parameters can be used in the ATP control.

If AFS and standard materials are used in the sales document, the AFS ATP will be called for the AFS materials and the R/3 standard ATP will be called for the standard materials.

Unlike the R/3 standard availability check, the AFS ATP runs at schedule line level. The prerequisite for this is that you have switched on the process flow of the ATP for each schedule line category.

With your entries here, you control the process of the AFS ATP in the sales document dependent on the sales area. For example, you can make settings for the process of the AFS ATP in the dialog and batch. In addition, you specify how future incoming stock should be displayed in the ATP simulation or in the order entry screen.

Here you can specify which date should be decisive for the grid determination in the sales document.

If you give the sales document an allocation type here, the system will try to immediately allocate an entered requirement during the entry or change of a sales document. The same conditions are valid for this online allocation as for the separate allocation run. This means, for example, that a requirement can only be successfully allocated if enough stock is available. If a special release procedure is activated for the allocation type that is relevant here, this release procedure will also be carried out in the online allocation. You must also note that when you save the document, it must be complete as far as delivery-relevant data is concerned. If it is not, the allocation will be cancelled causing the requirement to receive the status T and therefore not be able to be delivered immediately.

The online allocation is especially beneficial in rush orders. Requirements of rush documents receive the MRP status F if the allocation was successful and can then be delivered right away.

If not enough (batch) stock is available at the time of the order entry or change, the release rule used in the allocation type will decide whether or not an allocation can take place at all. If so, it then decides whether a fixed stock/requirements assignment (MRP status F) or only a reservation (MRP status R) will be made. If the AFS ATP is active, it runs for the remaining quantity of the requirement that was not able to be allocated. Depending on the setting for the ATP scope of check and on the stock situation, the remaining quantity will be confirmed for the date of the next incoming stock / RLT or will be rejected.

The apparel and footwear industry is extremely season-dependent. You must therefore know exactly when the products are available for sales and shipping. If you want to use the AFS season processing, you can maintain default settings per sales document type for the following topics (among others):

  • You can make the basic setting of whether the AFS season processing should be carried out in the sales order and if so, at which level.
  • You can set whether the season processing should be carried out at dimension level.
  • You can set the system reaction should no season be found for an AFS material.
  • For the season determination you can set which date should be used to find an appropriate season and with which key you want to search for it. If you use a global key during the season determination, you can predefine one value per customer group, region, and country, to reduce the number of entries.
  • The season determination can be carried out again based on the results of the AFS ATP. This makes sense, for example, if the availability check determines a new confirmed date.

Remember that you can only ever make AFS-specific settings in already defined sales document types. That means, for instance, that you cannot create new order types in this IMG activity. You can only do that in the corresponding R/3 standard IMG node.

We recommend that you copy the sales document types defined by SAP and then make the AFS-specific settings you need in the copy.
