we are using Strategy Group 60, where in we use the Planning Material to plan the demand in advance which shall be subsequently consumed with the Sale Orders.

One Problem we are encountering is that the present availability check / Checking Group '02' / 'AE' is considering only PRs in the availability check. The requirement is to consider the Purchase Orders (POs) also. Hence request to suggest a suitable solution to create a new checking group to consider POs also during availability check.

Observation:

1.When Mrp runs for planning material before booking sales    order it checks for pending po and Unrestricted stocks   and gives planned/ Pr,s only for difference qty,s.
2.When Mrp Runs after booking  Sales Order, does not check pending po and  unrestricted stock, gives fresh requirements by consuming from the plan, if sufficient open requirements  are not available in that particular Wk ( ours is wkly plan with forward consumption) it consumes from  the consequent  wks .
3.As far consumption from  plan at the time of booking the Order it happens according to the plan, does not allow to book over and above than the plan, also the issue of using  “F’ 30 in procurement type is resolved  by  activating  Mixed MRP in Mrp 3 view as suggested by you (1  Subassembly planning with final assembly) where by as and when orders are booked the Pr’s get consumed
  What we require

1.At the time of Mrp run it should check un-restricted stocks and pending po,s and trigger sales order requirements only for difference qty, and if material is available in unrestricted stock it should move to sales order stock, and if any difference in qty & if  there is a pending po  it should create reservation,once that material comes to stock the reservation should get knocked off by transffering it to sales order stock.
