Note:
Due to the deletion of the temporary quantity assignment of the second
customer order, the confirmed quantity of this order is released again and
can be used for other customer demands although the second customer
order has still a confirmed requested quantity.
This is a danger regarding over confirmations!
9. Save the first order, reject the second order, and leave the third order without saving. To
reject the second order, go back to checking of existing temporary quantity assignments
(steps 6-7), then delete the entries left by the second and third order. TQA must be empty.
Check if all the temporary quantity assignments are gone. If not, inform your instructor
immediately!

Compare the situation in the Availability Overview with the situation delivered by the
Stock/Requirement List. Is the ATP situation the same in both transactions? Why (not)?
The transactions have different ATP situations. This is because transaction MD04
considers all MRP elements, while transaction CO09 takes only elements regarding the
scope of check into account. In the scope of check #2/A, planned orders are excluded.

6. Influence the priority of requirement class determination.

The requirement class is one of the most important parameters for the ATP check. Often
there is a business need to determine different requirement classes for the same
material/plant combination related to the business process.
a) In the Customizing of the availability check Determine Requirement Type by Item
Category and MRP Type, you can assign an Origin of requirement type in requirement
type determination which allows you to overrule the sequence above.
7. The route contains the transportation duration from our plant to the customer. Where can

served principle. This can lead to a situation where a CPD customer (one-time customer)
receives a confirmation while a top A Customer won't get a confirmation due to the fact that
the customer orders the material just a minute later. This should be prevented by using an
allocation check during the availability check.
