Reproducing the Issue

Go to Create Outbound Delivery APP
Enter shipping point, date, sales order number
Press Continue

Cause

There is not enough quantity available for the confirmation of the delivery although the material has enough available quantity in Stock Overview: Basic List APP.
Different scope of checks (Configure Scope of Availability Check (ID 101099)) for the preceding document (e.g. sales order) and follow-up document (delivery).
Negative cumulated ATP quantity in Monitor Product Availability APP.
Sufficient available stock on storage location level but not on plant level.
ATP quantities are checked against a storage location in spite of no storage location has been determined in the predecessor sales document so the system should check available quantities on plant level only.
Inconsistencies.

Resolution

For cause 1:

Use Monitor Product Availability APP to check the availability situation for a material. Other APPs, such as Stock Overview: Basic List APP, are not suitable to check the availability situation for a material.

The checking rule for deliveries is 'B'. This is hard coded. When working with special stocks, apply the checking rule 'B' for delivery in addition to the special stock indicator, such as 'E'. Furthermore, when utilizing special stocks, complete the special stock element—sales order, WBS element, or sold-to-party—on the initial screen of the Monitor Product Availability APP to obtain meaningful results.

For cause 2:

Sales orders are checked with checking rule A in the SAP standard. This is hard coded.

When checking orders with a scope of check that permits more than the scope available for deliveries, such as allowing orders to confirm against replenishment lead time (Check Horizon) while deliveries cannot, sales requirements must not be included in the scope of check for deliveries. This principle also applies when certain receipts are included in the scope of check for sales orders but are excluded from the scope for deliveries.

The scope of check can be verified in the Configure Scope of Availability Check (ID 101099). Additionally, consider the guidelines provided in SAP KBA 3295962.

For cause 3:

A negative cumulated ATP quantity will prevent the confirmation of a delivery. This is because the ATP calculation of stocks and receipts prioritizes the deduction of any negative cumulated ATP quantity, regardless of when it occurred.

For example, consider a scenario where a sales order confirmed with 10 pcs and there is a negative cumulated ATP quantity of 10 pcs. When creating the delivery for the sales order then the confirmed quantity of the sales order (10 pcs) will be released so that this quantity can be passed to delivery for confirmation. But as there is a negative cumulated ATP quantity the released confirmed quantity of the sales order will be used to cover the negative cumulated ATP quantity. Therefore, it is not possible to confirm the delivery.

For cause 4:

The ATP checks in all specified segments: In each case in 'plant' and, if specified, also in 'storage location' and 'batch'. The ATP result is the minimum of all checks that were carried out.

Consider the following example:

Starting situation:

	stock	requirement	confirmed	ATP quantity
plant	100 pcs			100 pcs
storage location 1	10 pcs			10 pcs
storage location 2	90 pcs			90 pcs

If now a requirement is checked (20 pcs) only on plant level, the ATP quantity on plant level will be reduced, but the atp quantity on storage location level will not be reduced because it is not known which storage location the requirement should be assigned to:

	stock	requirement	confirmed	ATP quantity
plant	100 pcs	20 pcs	20 pcs	80 pcs (100-20)
storage location 1	10 pcs			10 pcs
storage location 2	90 pcs			90 pcs

--> confirmation over 20 pcs.

Now a further requirement is checked also on storage location level (90 pcs, storage location 2), so also plant level MUST be checked, otherwise it can result in an overconfirmation situation.(20 pcs of 100 pcs are already assigned to a requirement, therefore only 80 pcs are available):

	stock	requirement	confirmed	ATP quantity
plant	100 pcs	90 pcs	80 pcs	0 pcs (100-20-80)
storage location 1	10 pcs			10 pcs
storage location 2	90 pcs	90 pcs	80 pcs	10 pcs (90-80)

The whole quantity of 90 pcs could be confirmed on storage location level but on plant level only 80 pcs are available, so the system can only confirm 80 pcs.
If batches are involved then both the batch and the batch/storage location levels have to be considered.

For cause 5:

Check whether storage location determination is active for the concerned delivery item category. If this function is active, the system will determine a storage location at delivery creation, based on the customization settings. ATP check is performed for all the relevant storage levels. If there is a storage location determination, the system will check ATP quantities on the selected storage location as well. If there is no available quantity on the selected storage location, error message VL150 (and VL367) will be raised.

The storage location determination in delivery documents works only if there is no storage location determined in the predecessor sales document. If there is a storage location given in the predecessor sales document, this storage location will be simply copied into the delivery document.

For cause 6:

Inconsistencies can prevent the confirmation of a delivery, too. This could be for example the case if an already completed sales order is still blocking the available quantity.

The system is scheduled to clear up the inconsistencies once week automatically (it is scheduled for Sundays night usually). If waiting is not an option or the inconsistencies are frequently created, create a case for CA-ATP-PAC-2CL component.
