SIMG_CFMENUOLSDOVZ9 - Configure Scope of Availability Check

Vendor Master (General Section)   PERFORM Short Reference  
This documentation is copyright by SAP AG.

Define which stocks, receipts, and issue elements are considered when you run an availability check.

In this activity, you define checking rules for the availability check and allocate them to a checking group.

The checking rule specifies the scope of the availability check for the respective transactions in sales and distribution by specifying precisely which stocks, receipt and issue elements should be taken into account during the availability check.

Every checking rule is allocated to a checking group: together these two elements determine the final inspection requirements. In addition, the checking rule specifies whether the availability check is to take replenishment lead time into consideration.

Currently, the checking rule is predefined in SD.

When specifying the check scope for a certain checking rule, you can select the following receipts and issues:

• Purchase orders

• Production orders

• Purchase requisitions

• Planned orders

• Dependent requirements

• Reservations

• Dependent reservations

• Sales requirements

• Delivery requirements

SD requirements (= sales requirements and delivery requirements) reduce an available stock or inward stock movement on the material availability date so that other issues cannot access the reserved quantity.

When specifying the scope of a certain check rule, you can select the following stock elements:

• Safety stock (maintained in the material master record, MRP data)

• Stock in transfer in the receiving plant

• Stock in quality inspection

• Blocked stock

The replenishment lead time specifies the time required to order or produce a certain material. The system determines the replenishment lead time as follows:

• For internally procured materials, the replenishment lead time is determined from the in-house production time and the goods receipt processing time or alternatively from the total replenishment lead time, if it is specified.

• For externally procured materials, the replenishment lead time is determined from the goods receipt processing time and the processing time for purchasing.

You can decide if the replenishment lead time is always to be considered:

• If you select the field, the replenishment lead time will not be considered during the availability check.

• If you do not select the field, the replenishment lead time is considered automatically in the availability check.

If you carry out the availability check using the replenishment lead time, you should plan ahead in regular intervals (on a daily basis for individual and daily requirements, on a weekly basis for weekly requirements) to prevent a shortage and, therefore, a possible delivery block. This shortage could occur if the delivery date of a sales order, which was confirmed the previous day for the replenishment lead time, is already within the replenishment period on the current day and therefore results in a shortage.

When quantity distribution is enabled, the system distributes receipts and requirements across the runtime of planned and production orders based on the distribution key.

For any material, you can maintain the distribution key for:

• Production version which distributes the following receipts:

• Production orders

• Planned orders

• BOM components which distributes the following requirements:

• Dependent requirements

• Dependent reservations

You can decide if the system always considers quantity distribution during availability check run.

• If you select the field, the system distributes the quantities for receipts and requirements across the runtime of production orders.

• If you do not select the field:

• Receipts are considered at the end of the order cycle

• Requirements are considered at the start of the order cycle

During component availability check in planned orders and production orders, the system distributes the order requirements across the runtime of the orders based on the distribution key maintained for each component and checks for its availability on the distributed dates.

For transactions which create individual stocks, such as production-to-order, consignment stock processing or returnable packaging processing, the availability check is carried out for the individual stock depending on the respective special stock indicator.

1. Check the configurations for the checking groups which are contained in the system.
2. Make sure that the checking group is maintained in the material master records. Depending on the plant, you can specify a checking group for each material type (see section Configure Default Values for Availability Checking Group).
3. Select the individual stock elements as well as the receipts and issues which are to be considered during the availability check.
4. Select the field for replenishment lead time, if you do not want to take the replenishment lead time into account.
