At What Level is the Availability Check Carried Out? 

The availability check can be carried out at plant, storage location or batch level. The level at which the check is actually carried out depends on the data maintained for the material component.

You maintain this data as follows:

  1. On the Material List screen, select the component for which you want to maintain availability check data.
  2. Choose Material ® Material details. The Change Process Order: Material -General Data screen appears.
  3. Enter data in the Storage location, Batch or Plant fields. The availability check will be carried out for the level (storage location, batch or plant) that you maintain on this screen.

If a check is carried out at storage location or batch level and the components are available, the system carries out an additional check at plant level.
