Settings for Multi-Item Single Delivery Location 

If you want to use the multi-item single delivery location (MISL), you must make the following settings:

...

●     In integrated rule maintenance, create a rule of type Multi-Item Single Delivery Location and at least one inclusive rule. For more information, see Creating Rules.

In Customizing for Global ATP, create a rule strategy and make all the required settings for the condition technique so that the system can find this rule.

●     In Customizing for Global ATP, make the following settings for the multi-item single delivery location:

                            a.      Determine the business transaction, and if necessary, the characteristic values, for which the system is to calculate an MISL.

The OLTP system does not transfer any characteristic values using the requirements grouping to SAP APO. If you want to activate MISL using the characteristic values aswell as the business transaction, define characteristic values using the Business Add-In (BAdI) BAdI: Multi-Item Single Delivery Location (MISL).

                            b.      Activate the MISL, by setting the Multi-Item Single Delivery Location indicator.

If you call the ATP check from SAP CRM and the same business transaction is not assigned to all items in the requirements grouping, you must ensure that the MISL is active for at least one of these business transactions. If the MISL is active for at least one business transaction, the system activates the MISL for the entire requirements grouping.

                            c.      Enter the rule strategy you created, that is the rule strategy with which the system can determine the rule of type Multi-Item Single Item Delivery Location.

For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for SAP SCM under Advanced Planning and Optimization → Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP) → Rules-Based Availability Check → Deactivation or Activation of Multi-Item Single Delivery Locations.

If you want batch backorder processing to select and check all items in a requirements grouping, set the Select Complete Groups indicator. To set this indicator, on the SAP Easy Accessscreen, choose Advanced Planning and Optimization → Global ATP →Backorder Processing → Batch Backorder Processing.

If you do not set this indicator, the following can happen:

○     Batch backorder processing removes the confirmation of individual items in a requirements grouping, which means that not all requirements could be delivered from one location.

○     Batch backorder processing only checks the availability of individual items in the requirements grouping at the location at which the availability was previously confirmed. The substitute locations that the system determined based on the rule type Multi-Item Single Delivery Location are not taken into consideration.
