APO gATP vs R/3 ATP - To check sales order ATP across multiple plants

Hi There,
I am trying to evaluate gATP functionality for SD sales orders.
The primary requirement is to have sales order ATP checking take place across multiple plants.
E.G.
Sales order line is entered for qty 100
60 is available in plant A, 40 is available in plant B
System checks both plants and creates 2 lines - one for delivery from plant A and one for delivery from plant B
(we are currently heading down the road of writing ABAP to do this 'multi-plant' check in R/3 but the more complex the requirements get the more interested I am in understanding more about APO/gATP)
I would like to understand the benefit of implementing APO / gATP as opposed to using standard R/3 ATP and perhaps writing custom ABAP code to search for inventory across multiple plants.
I would appreciate any insight regarding what is required to setp gATP to perform such checking and any other feedback regarding this issue - especially if you have had to implement something similar at your company.
I have looked here but not much clear help:

Hi Niall
you are probably looking at RBATP (Rule based ATP). Look at transaction /sapapo/rba04 in APO where you develop your own location and product substitution rules. Going down an ABAP road in R/3 may work short-term but not long-term as the requirements may get more complex.

Check sales order exits for category ZTAC

Hi Experts
I have a requirement to modify the iDOC interfaced program,
In the routien which checks for the existence of a production order, I have to modify the following
1. Inspect each item on the sales order
2. If (and only if) there is atleast one item with a category of "ZTAC" then check for a production order otherwise processing the order in the usual manner.
Could anyone tell me how to check (Is there a sales order) if no then display error message if yes then is there a production order if no display error message if yes Create confirmation .......................
I want to know how to write a coding to check sales order exits from table VBAP,VBAK Etc., .
Thanks in Advanced

Hi Prabhu
Thanks for your email and response but I need to check this in program for IDOC ....Modification
Insert code in this way
check sales order for category = 'ZTAN' inspect for each item on sales order
and if you found item with cateogry ZTAN then check for production order otherwise go asual manner
I WANT TO WRITE A CODING HERE **********************
if production order required then check
                for each item on sales order item list

                              end function
VBAP TABLE field VBELN and PSTYV (ZTAC,ZTAN Etc)

Calling "Check Sales Order" on HU2 fails

Hello,
I'm trying to use the ES "Check Sales Order" (Manage Sales Order In) on HU2, by providing the minimal required information (ProcessingTypeCode, BuyerParty and SalesOrganisationID/DistributionChannelCode/DivisionCode).
Calling the ES returns an error "[040(SLS_LORD)] Document type TA does not support user status" (I'm using Order type "OR").
I also tried to use a couple of other order types (RO, TAV, ...) without success.
The same information used with "Create Sales Order" would work.
I have the feeling that it is more likely a role/permission issue.
Is the "Check Sales Order" ES forbidden to standard users ?
Any way to confirm/solve this ?
Any other order type ?
Thanks,
Nicolas.

ATP Check - Sales order

Dear All
Our company requirement is not to save the sales order if stock is not available for any of the line item. This requirement is for specific order type or item catagories.
Currently system is saving the order even if quantity is not available.
Can you please help me how to configure the same in SAP.
Regards
K.C Choudhury

hi,
ATP Check is checking of availablty quantities i.e ATP = Total Warehouse Stock + Planned receipts(Incoming Stock) - Planned Issues (Out going stock)
Availbilty Check is an integral part of business process it determines the if the desire deliverible quantity can be met on requested delivery date or not.Then it passes to Material Requirement Planning. Or
avability check is nothing but checking of availibility of stock which is placed in the order , sys carries out this check through a available to promise (ATP)
When we create a sales order, there are several basic functions which are executed automatically for the dynamic order management . among these basic functions , availability check and transfer of requirements are crucial.
the system first prepares schedule line containing the information on the desired delivery date and quantities , this information is passed to MRP and an avialability check and transfer of requiremnts are executed
First the system carries out backward scheduling and establishes the material avaialbility date = desired delivery date-transit time-loading time-picking & packing time and on this date an availability check is carried out using ATP logic which means avialable to promise quanity =total ware house stock+incoing orders-outgoing
along with the avialability check the requirements also are transferred to MRP.
the configuration involves following
1. switching on at schedule line catagegory the avialability check and TOR
2. configure the avilability check using ATP and using the checking group and Checking rule

Raj

Availability check - sales order

Hi experts,
I've gone through the relevant info, but still hit the issue below. Pls help. Thx.
Issue: How to include the created order (not delivered ) when running availability check?
Example:
Stock (storage location C) - 1pc
sales order A - 1pc (confirmed in schedule line)
sales order B - 2pcs (1pc confirmed, 1pc unconfirmed)
Those two orders are created agaisnt storage location C. No other stocks against storage location C are available, such as on-order stock.
In my understanding, order B cannot be confirmed as order A has been created firstly.
Background: As the customer just sells the purchased product, he places PO firstly, then sales order following. Thus, he requests new sales order creation to be based on the stock qty, created sales order qty, PO qty to be received & delivered sales order qty.
For this sales scenario, availability check with ATP is activated, but not against product allocation. And the check boxes "incl.purchase orders", "include sales reqmts", "include deliveries" are checked in OVZ9 only.
ps. "Check sales requirements" has been checked in Availability check control while "No storage location inspection" has not been checked.

Dear Cathy
Can you please reconfirm that the combination of availability check and checking rule in OVZ9 in which, you have selected the box "Include sales reqmts" is the same value what you have maintained in material master MRP3 view for availability check ??
If the availability check is same in both the cases, then try to create a fresh order and post the outcome.
thanks

Availability Check / Sales Order / Planning Strategy 50

Hi,
the material master has been setup with planning strategy 50.
now if i sales order is created. the system directly created planned order for the sales order quantity.
Now, there is smtimes a situation that some stock is already present in unrestricted stock for that material. thus during order creation, the system should first check the stock available in unrestricted stock...and if the stock is available, then system should confirm the stock without creating any planned order. and if there is no stock available, then system should go with creating planned order.
now what should i do in ATP check to cater this requiements? Please guide.
Hope i have explained the issue correctly.

Hi Robert,
check this thread Re: Emergent! Can MRP consider unrestricted-use stock with MTO plan strategy???
Best regards,
Zuzana

Is ATP for Multiple Plants possible????

Hi Gurus,
I have requirement like this
we are having two SAP Systems in one Sales order is raised.. and tha will pass to 2nd system with ALE. in Second system actual Availability Check will run for the plant given in the line item of sale order.
but in second system there will be 6 plants containing the same material. here my requirement is system has to check all the stock lying in all the plans at it need to propose the plant at line item level in sales order.
I know that Avail.Check will run for single plant. Is there any way to run this for multiple plants. at present user is changeing sales order and splitting line item into 6 line Items and performing Availability check based on that he is abelt find the in which plant stock is availble it become cumbersome process.
is any User Exit can we give multiple plants for checking Stocks???.
if End User is doing any mistake in doing Avail.Check it leads to Dead Stock.
please provide your Inputs on this
-Pradeep

BC,
Well, I will assume that you have been diligent and have already determined that the material masters are comparable between your qual system and your production system (I don't know what pre-production means).
First thing I would check would be the differences between qual and prod in availability check configuration. OVZ2. Look especially at the 'accumul' settings. Actually, any difference between qual and prod should be reviewed. Differences are a no-no!

Which table could let me check sales order type when giving dlv order info

Hi,
Suppose you got the delivery order detail like delivery number#,dlv type...etc...
From which table link could we find the corresponding sales order type???
Is there any table indicate the document flow, and with that then i could find the sales order type for this dlv order???
Thank you very much!!

Hi Ram,
Could kindly indicate which field could link LIKP and VBAK directly..Thank you very much...
Maybe below way is not the fast way...
1) Get sales order number with dlv# by checking document flow table VBFA.
2) Get Sales order type by checking tbl VBAK with sales order number.

Commitment check - Sales Order

We have activated Funds Management. However, while doing transactions like PR, PO, SO we come across errors.
In the SO, system saying commitment check is activated and hence not able to save the document. We have given commitment item and fund centre in the order. Still it is happening. What is to be done to resolve this ?

Hi Eli
Maintenance poeple are using Maintenance Order. There they are giving Maintenance Order. In the derivation, I can give maintanence order -> fund centre derivation. But since they will be creating maintenance orders everytime, this is not a feasible solution, right ?
Similarly, network will be crated from Project Systems. Then also fund centre issue is coming.
What to do in those situations ?
