Checking control selection.

[Former Member]

Hi ALL,

In the Availability Check > Define checking control...

We define the order control with respect to plant , order types..

But say there are two definitions ...say..

plant order types Business function

1001 PI01 1 ( Check avl during order creation)

1001 PI01 2 ( Check avl during order release )

So how does system decide which to select...and when is this picked..

Also how is this related to scope of check....

Plz enlighten me..

Ameya,

It is internally programmed by SAP. When a order is created then SAP program knows that it is being created. So the program looks for the value 1 (checking control on creation). So this picks this one. Similarly when an order is released SAP program knows that you are releasing it. So the program picks up 2 (release.).

It is basically every "Action" within a transactionis recognized by the system.

Hope this clarifies.

Hi,

These are the business transactions defined by sap .

Whenever there is an order creation we can check the material availability as per the scope defined and create order or not as defined in checking control.

Whenever there is an release we can check the material availability as per the scope defined and release the order or not as per the checking control.

Release,

Hi,

checking control is very important

From Production point of view

First checking group need to be defined.

Second checking rule to be defined.

Third checking group and checking rule to be combined and assigned to scope of

check

Fourth checking rule should be assigned to checking control .

Availability check for a material is carried out only if the material is

1. A stock item

2. Not a phantom item

3. Not a bulk material.

This can be carried out

1. during order creation

2. during order release

3. when a created order is saved

Availability check can be triggered either manually or automatically.

For this we need to define in checking control(opjk)

First define a checking group(ovz2) and checking rule and this

must be assigned to checking scope.(opjj)

In the checking scope(opjj) we should define

1. which Mrp elements are to be considered during check

2. which inventory categories are to be taken into account

3. whether Replinishment lead time is to be taken into account or not

4. whether check is also to be carried at storage location level.

This checking rule must be linked to checking control(opjk)in which you can say

1.No availability check for the material

2.Availability check when saving the order

3.What type of check is to be carried

whether ATP CHECK or Check against PIR quantities

4. Whether order should be released or not if there is

any missing parts.

The checking group is assigned to material master MRP3 view

Hi Nanda,

As per the example posted by me...

say I have this in checking control

Plant Order type Business fn. checking rule

1001 PI01 1 PP

1001 PI01 2 PP..

So my question is how a particular Checking control is selected which differ only in business fn...
