URGENT!!! SALES ORDERS NOT IN THE REQUIREMENT LIST (MD04)

Question:
Hi,
Anybody can tell me how come sales order generated do not appear in my requirement list (tr.MD04).These orders are not confirmed (wheras stock is sufficient to cover the needs).
No individual records for my article in VBBE and nothing either in VBBS table.
As for the sales orders, no rejection on the item.
Any clue appreciated. RELEASE:40B
Regards,
Answer:
Hello,
Check the MRP category (VBEP-ETTYP), and the requirement type (VBAP-BEDAE) for the sales order item - it may be that these aren't relevent for MRP / stock consumption.
Hope this helps,
Tim
Answer:
I would have thought that if your sales order is not confirmed at sshedule line level then it is not a "real" requirement. Therefore why would you want it to appear in MD04?
Answer:

Sorry,
apparently my pb was due to a blank checking group for availability in the MRP2 view (or logistics:platform view for the Retail solution).
Thanks.
