Diagnosis

The system could not find a valid checking rule or a checking group for the availability check.

System Response

If you want the system to carry out the availability check, you must maintain the following two parameters:

  • checking rule in Customizing
  • checking group in the material master record

The checking rule controls which requirement and receipt elements the system uses to carry out the availability check and whether the replenishment lead time is taken account in this calculation or not. The various departments (sales and distribution, requirements planning, production order management, inventory management) can define different rules for the availability calculation using the different checking rules. The checking rules of the individual departments are assigned to the checking groups in Customizing. If the availability check is to be carried out for a particular material, you assign the checking group to this material in the material master record. The system finds the valid checking rule(s) for each department using the checking group.

Procedure

Proceed as follows:

  • In Customizing for MRP (or SD, production control, or inventory management) make sure that a checking rule has been assigned for a particular plant or an MRP group. (In Customizing for MRP, you find the checking rule as follows: Procurement proposals -> Define availability check for components.
  • If necessary, assign a checking rule to the appropriate plant or to the MRP group used to plan the material.

Note

For more information on the availability check in MRP, please refer to the chapter in the implementation guide: "Define availability check for components".

  • Check whether a checking group has been maintained in the material master record for the component (either the MRP 2 screen or Sales/Plant Data, field, Availability check).
    If necessary, maintain the checking group.

    If no availability check can be carried out, assign the checking group "no availability check" in the material master record.
