Displaying the Requirements/Stock Situation Availability Check

You can obtain the following information on material requirements:

  • Stock/Requirements situation by material
  • Stock/requirements situation by item in the sales document

Stock/Requirements Situation by Material

To display the stock/requirements situation by material, proceed as follows:

  1. Select Logistics
  2. ® Materials management ® Inventory management on the main menu screen.

    You reach the Inventory Management screen.

  3. Select Environment
  4. ® Stock ® Stock/reqmts list.

    You reach the Stock/Requirements List: Initial Screen.

  5. Enter the material number and plant for which you want to check the stock situation and press ENTER.
  6. You obtain a list where current requirements are displayed. However, it is only the order quantities which are listed. The confirmed quantities which have an effect on existing stock and outward movements of stock are not displayed.

  7. To determine the quantities which are available for future outward movements of stock, select List
  8. ® Calculate ATP qty.


The quantities displayed here reflect the availability from the requirements planning view, that is, it is the order quantities displayed here rather than the confirmed quantities. In the availability check,however, the system takes the confirmed quantities from other orders into account.

As long as all order quantities can be confirmed, the results of the availability check and the calculation for the ATP quantity match. However, if only some of the order quantity can be confirmed or a delivery proposal is created, these two amounts can deviate from each other so that the display of the ATP quantities only corresponds to the material requirements planning viewpoint and the availability situation for sales can only be taken from the control screen for the check.

Requirements/Stock Situation by Item
