Check Mode for Collective Availability Check 
Use
You can define how the collective availability check for the components is to be carried out. To do so, choose Check mode on the collective availability check screen.
Features
T he necessary selections are already set by the system when you call the transaction. However, you can change these. The following options are available:
- Resetting the availability data
The following data of all selected planned orders can be deleted before the check is carried out:
- confirmed quantity in the material components
- the total confirmation date in the planned order header
- the confirmed quantity in the planned order header
- Checking availability
You have three options for carrying out the collective availability check:
- If you select Individual, the availability is checked for each material, depending on the settings in the check group. If the check group is set, for example, so that the material is always checked against planned independent requirements, then this check is carried out.
- If you select ATP, the availability check is an ATP check for all materials, independent of the settings in the check group.
- If you select Forecast check, the availability check is against planned independent requirements for all materials. However, you cannot use this check if you have defined No check against planned independent requirements.
- Firming planned orders
You can define that the planned orders, for which there are components available, are firmed after the availability check. This is also possible if the planned orders cannot be fully confirmed.
Firmed planned orders can no longer be changed by the planning run. In addition, the components are also firmed, that is the BOM is not exploded again in the next planning run.
