Maintaining Check Controls

Use

You define the check control for the product availability check. The scope of check consists of the following:

· Check control

· Scope of check

Prerequisites

You created an ATP group and a business event.

Procedure

1. You maintain a check control in Customizing for the Advanced Planner and Optimizer by choosing Global ATP ® Product Availability Check ® Maintain Check Control.

2. Choose New entries.

You branch to the detail view.

3. Choose an ATP group and a business event.

4. Set the No sublocation check indicator, if the availability check should only be carried out at the location level (and, if necessary, at the version level).

A product availability check is usually carried out at location level. If the requirement includes detailed organization levels (sublocation, version), a check is also carried out at these levels. The fewest number of levels of each check determine the result (confirmed quantity and date).

Note

If you have set this indicator for a check of sales documents, you must also set this indicator again for a check of subsequent documents (delivery). Otherwise, the check could result in inconsistent confirmations.

5. Set the No version check indicator if the availability check should only be executed at the location level (and at the sublocation level, if necessary).

6. Set the Consider CkH (consider checking horizon) indicator, if the checking horizon should be taken into account in the product availability check.

You can find more information in the Product Availability Check Using Checking Horizons section.

7. Choose the corresponding entry in the Past rcpts field, if past receipts should be taken into account in the product availability check.

The Past rcpts indicator controls whether past receipts (referring to the time of the check) can be used to confirm a requirement.

8. If necessary, you can enter a checking horizon for missing parts at goods receipt (GR).

When posting goods receipts in Inventory Management, the checking horizon determines how far into the future (how many days) a check for shortfall quantities is carried out after the expiration of the checking horizon. For this to be carried out, you must configure the check using the checking horizon. You must activate the checking horizon first.

9. Choose Save.
