Documentation

Definition

Indicates whether a check is performed for items that were already procured during the creation of the collective purchase order for a potential issue document position.

Use

Set this switch if you procure specific materials by means other than merchandise distribution (for example manually or via materials planning), or if you want to reduce any stock on hand. In this case, the system considers these supplies during the creation of collective purchase orders. Only quantities that were not yet procured are included in the collective purchase order. This enables you to prevent multiple procurements.

If you have set this switch, you must also specify an availability rule. The availability rule enables you to define which receipt or issue element you want to consider during the check. In this case, the "Without Stock" switch is also effective.

Do not set this switch if you procure a specific material via collective purchase orders only, and do not want to reduce stock on hand. In this case, setting the switch has no effect.

Example

An issue document exists with a requirement of 100 boxes of a specific material that you want to obtain via merchandise distribution. Simultaneously, there is an existing stock on hand of 20 boxes of this material, that you want to reduce. If you set this switch, the system generates a collective purchase order of 80 boxes of this material (if no further issue documents for the material exist).

If you do not set this switch, the system generates a collective purchase order with a quantity of 100 boxes.
