Negative cumulated ATP quantity

[former_member184080]

Hi All,

We are getting a message "Only 0 ST of material XXXXXXXX  available" while creating the delivery.

I could see enough stock and confirmed lines which can be delivered.This issue is occurring as we have used POs at the order level ATP checks and not at the delivery. Since, we have not received the stock from the vendor system is showing negative quantity in CO09.

I have gone through the various SAP notes (547118/153355/1513607) and most of the notes suggesting us to change the PO delivery date or reject the lines.

As per my client business requirement, they would like to push the orders till we have stock physically available and wait for GR for the remaining orders. However, this is not possible until we make the ATP qty to positive.

Message while creating delivery

CO09 with checking Rule "A"

CO09 with Checking Rule "B" which shows negative qty.

Hi Sai,

Please check 2 things:

1. Whether storage location is mentioned in the sales order? I understand storage location determinations in sales order is a business decision. But, you can avoid maintaining default storage location in the sales order. As there is a fair possibility that storage location may not have stock at that point of time

2. Moreover, can you compare the delivery date in your subsequent PO and the date use for creating delivery date. It seems like those dates are not matching.

Thanks, JP

Hi JP,

I tried with first option still not allowing me to deliver the order.

I have  stock that can be used for delivery still now allowing me. Yes, PO date is future date, i am trying with future date too. Still no positive results.

Hi Sai,

Is it possible for your to provide the screenshot of Delivery Item Category from Tcode 0VLP? Check what value you have for "Check quantity 0" under section quantity of your Item Category used. Is it:

B	- Dismiss situation with error message in create/change mode
C	- Dismiss situation with error message only in create mode

Thanks, JP

Hi JP,

As per SAP note 36520 I have done below changes and its working.. I am not 100% sure about the side effects.. Can you please help me on the same..

1) The sales requirements do not have to be contained in the scope of check for the delivery:

In this case, ensure that the sales requirements are not contained in Transaction OVZ9 (Scope of

check) for checking rule B.

You can then confirm the deliveries again if there is an adequate stock.

Hi Sai,

"C" 

With option C, the system will not allow you create delv doc, if the quantity is 0 after the availablity check. And will throw error message for creation of delv doc.. But may not impact change of Delv Doc.

Moreover, if we manipulate/make AvC config changes as the way it is hinted in the SAP Note 36520. Then you can get the desired result. But, this will not control things, where you practically like to control. Or different sort of checking rule for those items.

If this a regular requirement then, in my opinion, change the item cat, where Check quantity 0 is not equal to B/C as an option.

Best Wishes, JP

Hi JP,

As per business demand, we dont want "0" qty should be passed to delivery document. I kept "C",However, I changed the Delivery level (B) ATP controls in which we have unchecked the Sales order requirement.

We did our testing and business also happy with the changes. Watched the system behavior from the past 2 days and it is working as expected.

Now, the only question I have in my mind is, why SAP has given such option at delivery level ? I am not able to get the logic.

Please help me with few real life examples if you have any..
