Availability Check
Use
During sales order processing, the availability check enables you to tell the customer if the product can be delivered on time. You can control how the availability check is carried out by setting the Availability check field in the material master.
Integration
There are two availability check methods:
Check against planned independent requirements
Used with, for example, strategy 50, 60, 52, 63, 74. (All other strategies use ATP check.)
Only planned independent requirements are taken into account
No MRP elements (for example, stock) are taken into account
No requirement to customize the checking rule
The field Availability check is only used to determine the requirements passing (daily or individual requirements)
Available-to-Promise (ATP) check
Check is performed against stock and all other MRP elements (for example, stock, production orders, sales orders, requirements, schedule lines)
Option to check against a replenishement lead time (RLT).
Very accurate
Always performed when production orders are processed. |
