Documentation
Definition
Use 1:
- This rule defines the checking procedure to be used for the availability check (or in Inventory Management, the missing parts check) in individual applications.
Use 2:
- It defines, together with the checking group, the different MRP elements that make up this key figure in Flexible Planning.
Use 1: Availability Checking
Use
Along with the checking group, the checking rule specifies the final procedure for checking.
Note
Note that you must define checking rules for each individual application. Therefore, you define the checking rule for reservations via the configuration menu for production orders, for example. On the other hand, in Sales and Distribution, the checking rule is specified internally within the system and cannot be changed.
To check the availability of a material, you must enter a checking group in the material master record (in the field Availability check).
Examples
You can use the checking rule and group to determine:
- Which receipts (for example, purchase orders or production orders) should be taken into account in the availability check
- Which issues (for example, sales orders or dependent requirements) should be taken into account in the availability check
Use 2: Flexible Planning
Dependencies
If you use this key to define the MRP elements of this key figure for Flexible Planning, you must also select the indicator Document KF in the Customizing parameters of the information structure.
