Documentation
Definition
Indicates whether, during the creation of a collective purchase order, the system should check whether merchandise has already been procurred for a potential issue document item.
Use
Set this indicator if you procure merchandise in ways other than using Merchandise Distribution (for example, manually or using Requirements Planning) or if you want to use existing stock on-hand. In this case, the system includes receipts when creating a collective purchase order. The collective purchase order only includes quantities for which no merchandise has as yet been procurred.
This enables you to avoid duplicate orders.
If you set this indicator, you also have to enter an availability rule allowing you to define which receipts and issues you want to have included in the check. The "Without stock" indicator also has an effect in this case.
Do not set this indicator if you only procure a specific material using collective purchase orders and if you do not want to use existing stock on-hand. The "Without stock" indicator has no effect.
Example
You have an issue document with a quantity of 100 boxes required of a specific material that you want to procure using Merchandise Distribution. You also have 20 boxes of the material in stock that you want to use. If you set this indicator, the system generates a collective purchase order for 80 boxes. (Provided that no further issue document exists for this material.) If you do not set this indicator, the system generates a collective purchase order for 100 boxes.
