Definition

Specifies how the system reacts when the availability check finds that the stock quantity is unsufficient to cover the order quantity. The rule also determines the form in which the delivery proposal is specified in the delivery schedule lines.

Use

If the stock quantity is insufficient, the system can react in two ways:

  • It presents a dialog box and asks you to choose between different options.
  • It automatically suggests one of the options (no dialog box appears)

The delivery proposal can be specified in the schedule lines in two different ways:

  • Without entered rule and for the rule 'one-time delivery', user want and delivery proposal are specified in the same schedule line.
  • For all other rules, user want and delivery proposal are shown in different schedule lines.

Example

On the desired delivery date 11th May, you need the quantity 10.

The availability check for the supplying plant yields the following delivery proposal:

  • On 11th May, quantity 7 and
  • On 22nd May, quantity 3.

Without an entered rule and for the rule 'once-only delivery', the system automatically enters only the first partial quantity with the appropriate date from the delivery proposal in the schedule line for the user want:

  • Delivery date 11th May:
    Schedule line quantity 10, confirmed date 22nd May, confirmed quantity 7.

For the rule 'delivery proposal', the system changes only the confirmed date in the schedule line for the user want and automatically transfers both partial quantities to two new schedule lines:

  • Delivery date 11th May:
    Schedule line quantity 10, confirmed date 22nd May, confirmed quantity 0
  • Delivery date 11th May:
    Schedule line quantity 0, confirmed date 11th May, confirmed quantity 7
  • Delivery date 22nd May:
    Schedule line quantity 0, confirmed date 22nd May, confirmed quantity 3

For the rule 'complete delivery', the system changes only the confirmed date in the schedule line for the user want and automatically transfers the complete confirmed quantity to a new schedule line:

  • Delivery date 11th May:
    Schedule line quantity 10, confirmed date 22nd May, confirmed quantity 0
  • Delivery date 22nd May:
    Schedule line quantity 0, confirmed date 22nd May, confirmed quantity 10

For the rule 'selection window in case of shortage', the system displays a dialog box and asks you to choose between the three rules 'once-only delivery', 'delivery proposal', and 'complete delivery'.
