Use

With this procedure you can check the availability of all material components assigned to a network, or the availability of an individual component.

If you change data in the network that influence the availability of material components, for instance dates or quantities, the system does not automatically trigger an availability check. To obtain current information about missing material after changes, you have to manually carry out another availability check. The same is true, if you have assigned components using BOM transfer and have executed the assignment program again.

Checking all components

In the network header, or on the activity overview, select the menu options  Edit Availability Material

The system checks the availability of all material components in the network. If there is a material shortage, the network receives the status material shortage . A dialog box appears from which you can go directly to the check log , the missing parts list or missing parts overview

In the missing parts list and missing parts overview you can also check the availability of individual components, as described below.

Checking individual components

The Confirmation Proposal screen appears on which the following data is displayed:

You can go from this screen to the availability overview by choosing ATP quantities or display the scope availability check by choosing Scope of check.

On the Availability overview the system lists the individual MRP elements. You can display period totals or go to the detail screens of the MRP elements.
