​Indeed, there's no reason alanine scanning shouldn't work in principle.
However, the automatic mutation implemented in MMPBSA.py's alanine scanning
module only knows how to mutate "standard" amino acids to alanine -- it
won't know what to do with phosphorylated variants. If you can understand
the code, you can add support for your custom residues, but otherwise you
will need to do the alanine scanning "by hand". Simply using decomposition
analysis will most likely be much easier.
All the best,
