To record a sale of a marine engine (configured item) without launching a production order, but by drawing from stock, you must:
Enter a sales specification of type MCD and create it immediately with a status of '20' and not '10-Preliminary' so that the stock can interact as soon as the line is entered in OIS101.
Otherwise, a production order will be automatically launched.
We validate the screens up to the point where the lines in OIS101/B are entered.
We enter the configured product/marine engine as usual, and as usual, the configuration quiz is applied.
However, at the end of the configuration, the OIS145/E screen appears, which systematically/by default offers to manufacture the configured product.
To interrupt this sequence, you must query the 'Available for Sale' DAV.
To do this, use F14 in this OIS145/E screen.
The MMS165 function, which allows control of the DAV, appears.
This information does indeed tell us about the needs and stock levels of item GEB4W105S.
We can see here that there are 6 on order, 4 are reserved, and 2 are marked as 'Available for Sale'.
This can be verified by running MMS060.
Six lines appear (six serial numbers):
• Serial numbers 4W0522, 4W0523, 4W0524, and 4W0525 are unassignable, even though they are in status 2, because they are already assigned, as they are linked to a Certificate of Sale (COS) and a Production Order (PO).
Serial numbers 4W0501 and 4W0539, however, are assignable because they are free/standalone.
Within the MB system, this corresponds to engines that have already been manufactured but no longer have a strong link between COS and PO.
Either their links have been severed, or these are engines that have been returned to stock.
Therefore, they are available for sale without needing to be manufactured.
If we return to the MMS165 screen, to use them (without triggering a PO), we must use function F17.
A confirmation window for delivery dates appears, which must be accepted… because, as ‘strange’ as it may seem, this change in the sales line's supply has an impact on the lead time calculation and creates a ‘break’ (positive or negative in terms of lead time)… and answering No cancels the choice made by F17 (ignore break).
At that moment, the OIS101/B reappears, and after a few seconds, the sales line even changes to '33'.
BUT be careful, you must come back and verify that the correct serial number has been assigned. You must check it and possibly modify it manually, because the oldest one (FIFO) is used by default.
The CdV (Customer Vehicle) can then be prepared without having to undergo a work order/manufacturing process.
SUGGESTION: I encourage you to isolate returned/reusable engines in a dedicated storage location labeled 'Already Manufactured'/'Reusable' to facilitate understanding of the choice during allocation or during inventory/stock visualization/stock valuation.
