Define Checking Control

In this menu option, you define the control for the availability check of materials, production resources/tools and capacities.

Which check rule is to be used and whether a check is to be carried out, is specified depending on plant and network type and the business transaction, for example, whether the check is to take place when creating or releasing a network.

You can specify the following parameters for the availability check of the material:

• whether the availability is checked

• the check rule

• whether the network can be released if no material is available

You can specify the following parameters for the availability check of the production resources/tools:

• whether the availability is checked

• the check rule

• whether the network can be released if no production resource/tool is available

You can specify the following parameters for the availability check of capacities:

• whether the availability is checked

• the overall profile for the capacity requirements check

• whether the network can be released, if there is no capacity available.

Notes

Note: you can also maintain the parameters for the capacity availability check in Customizing under Project planning . You should only specify the parameters for the capacity availability check in this step, if they have not been maintained yet.

For information on how to maintain the parameters for the capacity availability check refer to Project planning -> Capacities -> Maintain parameters for the capacity availability check in the implementation guide for the Project System.

For every production resources category, there is a status in the master record which specifies whether the PRT is available or not. In the availability check, the system statically checks against this status.
