SAP Note 123500 - Controlling the results of the

availability check
Note Language: English Version: 2 Validity: Valid Since 11.02.1999

Summary

Symptom
The results of an availability check (according to ATP logic) in
production, process, maintenance order or in the Project System seem to be
incorrect (that is, too large or too small confirmed quantities for the
components checked) if you compare them with the output of the stock
overview (Transaction MMBE) or the current stock/requirements list
(Transaction MD04). This case can also occur for the results of processes
which use the material availability check internally (for example, the
batch determination).

Additional key words


ATP, CO01, CO02, COR1, COR2, CO28, COID, MD04, MMBE, CO09, VA01, VA02,
VL01, VL02, collective availability check

Cause and prerequisites


In general, this is not a program error!

Solution
The values displayed in the two transactions stated (MD04, MMBE) cannot be
used for understanding and for controlling the results of an availability
check.
Instead, you must use Transaction CO09 (Availability Overview). This
transaction shows the development of the available quantities exactly the
same way as it is taken into account in the availability check, that is,
according to the ATP logic. In contrast to this, Transaction MD04
interprets the data found according to the MRP logic and Transaction MMBE
displays only the currently available stocks. In general, both can and will
cause (depending on the settings in the scope of inspection) differing
values.
So that the information in Transaction CO09 also corresponds to the
information during a check, you must enter the exact checking rule which is
also used within the availability check on the selection screen of the
transaction. It is relatively simple to determine the availibility check at
least in the production order by selecting the respective component on the
component overview and call in the menu entry 'Settings -> Availibility'.
In the dialog box generated, in addition to the scope of inspection set
also the checking rule is displayed in the header. Alternatively, a check
can only be initiated (also in the other order types named) for the
component considered. In this case, the system displays a dialog box 'Date
overview' from which you can display, among other things, the scope of
inspection.
In addition, flag 'With reqmts qtys' is available on the selection screen
as of Release 3.1H. You must only set this flag if you work with cumulation
type '3' (you set it in the checking group, Transaction OVZ2) and want to
have the values which are calculated by an availability check during the
creation.
Note also the information in Note 89362 which, in addition, explains
something about the technical background.
