Missing Parts Overview (SAP Library - Assembly-to-order (LO-ASM))

Missing Parts Overview

The missing parts overview displays the results of the availability check per component and the header data for the check. In the lower section of the screen, you can also see the total committed date and the number of missing parts.

Results per Component

In the missing parts overview, the system only displays the parts that are actually missing.

The fields relevant to the availability check are described below:

requirements quantity

This is the dependent requirements quantity resulting from the explosion of the BOM.

requirements date

The requirements date is the date on which the components have to be available - this is usually the order start date of the planned order.

committed quantity

The committed quantity is the maximum quantity available on the requirements date according to the check of all components. It depends on the component with the smallest available quantity on the requirements date.

On saving the result of the check, this quantity is copied to the planned order as the committed quantity.

committed date

This date is the earliest date on which - per component - the total requirement quantity is available. If a component is never fully available, the system enters 99.99.9999.

ATP quantity

The ATP quantity is the receipt quantity of component available on the requirements date. This quantity may be greater than the committed quantity as it is often the case that some components are completely available on the requirements date but others are only partially available.

Header Data for the Availability Check

In the header of the missing parts overview, the system displays the following general data:

order type

plant

material number and short text

Total Committed Date/Display Missing Parts

In the lower section of the screen, the system displays the following data:

number of missing parts

total committed date (only calculated in the check according to ATP logic)

This is the date on which the complete requirement quantity is available including the in-house production time of the header material. This date is copied to the planned order as the order committed date on saving the results of the availability check. The total committed date depends on the following:

If the quantity required can be completely confirmed for the requirement date, the total committed date corresponds to the order finish date of the planned order.
If the quantity required cannot be completely confirmed for the requirement date, as not every component can be available in sufficient quantity by this date, then the total committed date corresponds to the date of the last material to be completely available plus the in-house production time of the header material.
If one of the components is not available in sufficient quantity by the requirement date and if this component cannot be made completely available for any later date, then the system cannot calculate a total committed date. In this case, the system enters the figure, 99.99.9999 in the Total committed date field.
