Find Bottlenek material ( latest date) for materials in delivery group or complete delivery

[Andrea66]

Hello, 

we have a huge number of sales orders with 100-200 lines in each order. All lines depend to 2-3 delivery groups.

No we were asked to tell Sales which material is the bottlenek and what would be the dates when we exlucde this bottlenk material from the group.  Deleting the group, run ATP and set group again is nto a good work around due to so many differnt order lines and groups. Any idea how to get this solved ? Getting the info about all ATP dates for each line when not having the groups ?

thanks Andrea

If you want to identify customer specific stock, then, one option is to have the item category configuration with "E" which is treated as special stock.  If the current process is such that goods issue happens from unrestricted, then, it is not possible to meet your expectation because, even the unrestricted stock is dynamic and keep changing depending upon the number of sales order being generated.  Of course, I am not sure on your current ATP configuration, but there is an option to reserve the stock against sale orders but this has many disadvantages from Management point of view.  The sales team creates sale orders on their regular customers just to block the stock.
