  • What causes this issue?

    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 <ZH>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 <ZH>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.

    How to fix this error?

    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: <LS>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.

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    &HINWEIS&
    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, <LS>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.
