This SAP Note clarifies the Customizing settings for the availability check across various order types including production and maintenance orders. It covers detailed settings in the checking group globally affecting all R/3 applications, how confirmed quantities can be blocked by the enqueue server during checks, and handles accumulation settings for availability checks in transactions. Specific indicators such as 'No check', methods for blocking confirmed quantities, and accumulation processes are clarified. Additionally, settings affect both online transactional orders and batch processes differently based on the 'Online-vs-Batch' check settings. This note aims to resolve common misunderstandings by providing detailed explanations.
