ATP Check with STOs

Hi All
Need your help to resolve the following concern in committed date of STOs
Scenario:
When a STO is created for a material where the supplying plant has no stock, then the committed date in the delivery schedule lines comes up as 31.12.9999 and the statistical date comes up as the requested delivery date + planned delivery time!
I guess this is fine as system considers forward scheduling automatically in this case.
However this order is not considered by BOP as well!
Now if the stock is produced / made available even then the STO is not getting picked up in BOP
So this results in inconsistency (APO/R3) and also when the delivery is generated it comes up with error! (wrong quantity / date or '0' qty)
Now if I manually do the ATP check in the STO line item, it changes the dates. Still it dosent show up in BOP but delivery can be created!
Can you guys please advice me what should be the process for such STOs (which were created when there was no stock in supplying plant). As manually doing ATP check isnt sensible.
Also why is that BOP is not picking up these STOs (I have already checked the parameters and STO is included)
Thanks in advance

RK,
"Crazy" is a misnomer when dealing with software. The only things in this business that are crazy are the clients. Unfortunately, they also pay the bills, so you have to live with such insanity.
According to your error message, you haven't defined 050 / U. I don't know the entire scenario, but to me this is a red flag that must be addressed regardless of any other steps you take. You must either create these check instructions, or eliminate objects that are calling for this combination.
I just reviewed my posts, and I don't see any place there where I said I did not create 'U'. I did say I removed my original BE, which wasn't 'U'. My original BE for STOs and STPrqs was 'ST'. I removed this from both R/3 and SCM. Then I created 'U' in R/3 and 'U' in SCM.
1. R/3: SM30 > view V_441R Create 'U' Checking Rule.
2. R/3: SM30 > view V_441V Create Availability check as necessary using 'U' Check rule and the Availability checks you will be using.
3. R/3: SM30 > view V_161V doc category B remove your existing check rule and replace with 'U'
4. R/3: SM30 > view V_161V doc category F Remove your existing check rule and replace with 'U'.
5. SCM SM30 > View /SAPAPO/V_ATP02 > Create BE 'U'
6. SCM SM30 > View /SAPAPO/V_ATP07 > Remove the existing check instructions for STOs. Create new check instructions as necessary for STOs, using BE 'U'.
7. SCM SM34 > Dialogue /SAPAPO/ATPC04_05 > Remove the existing Check control(s) for STOs. Add the appropriate Check control items using BE 'U'.
I don't really know if the 'U' issue is related to your original problem. I am only responding to the part of your post where you said
I am getting error:
Check instruction / U does not exist for location product XXXX / XXXX
FYI throughout this post, I have been assuming that you have no userexits/BADIs activated, on either side (R/3 nor SCM) nor are you using RBA. Either of these events would mean additional troubleshooting steps would be required.

ATP check with including puchase order

when we create SO with ATP check to reserve the qty of the currenct stock, we also want to know the future qty of purchase orders so that we can clearly know the supply and demand of these materials.
so we use ATP check with including purchase order, that users can reserve the qty of open GR purchase orders.
but when the status of that PO changed, the reserved qty before won't have effect, and can't create outbound delivery either.
there are two examples below:
1. there is one SO reserved 10 material qty of the open GR PO, which it's scheduled delivery date is 5/15. but this PO still hasn't goods receipt until 5/17, cause ATP check rule is "Include future receipts only" ( if "Receipts in the past as well as in the future" is set, it will be confused with current stock qty), so these 10 qty won't have effect and the ATP qty is now a negative. we should only reserve again by t-code V_V2, otherwise all the reserved qty can't be deliveried.
2.there is one SO reserved 10 material qty of the open GR PO, which it's scheduled delivery date is 5/15, but when the delivery date of confirms tab is updated by vendor, these reserved qty before will also be invalid.
please tell me how to resolve these problems?

Hi,
If the business wants to confirm the sales order quantity against the incoming purchase orders, then this always happen. The issue can be resolved only by rescheduling the sales order by running V_V2 everyday.
Alternatively you can suggest the business to exclude the purchase order from availabilty check(AC) in t.code OVZ9 and include shipping notification in it. When the vendor sends some materials confirmation, the purchasing can add the shipping notificatoin details in the purchase order and can create Inbound deliveries for goods receipt. By this way, only when the vendor ships the goods, the quantity will be taken into AC.

ATP check for STOs

Hi,
Can ATP be set for intercompany STOs?
If so , can anyone list it please.
Regards
Krishna

Hi
Yes we can setup ATP check for STO...
actually ATP will be depends on the combination of the checking group and checking rule
checking group : is defined at material master sales/plant view in availability check field..
Checking rule : In standard this will be assigned to application internally ex : sales order - A (sales order)
delivery - B (delivery)..
In STO we need to define the checking rule for purchase order type and shipping plant combination...
menu path :
IMG -- MM -- Purchasing -- PO -- set up stock transport order -- assign delivery type and checking rule....
hope it solves your probs

ATP - Check in STO

We will create STO PO for our inter-plant transfer. We have plant delivery time of 100 DAYS. we don't want the system to get confirmed any qty while creating the order. We are doing delivery through SD route. Only ATP check needs to turned on while doing delivery creation only . How to get this Function ? Any input will be highly appreciated
Thanks

Rule based ATP check with SOA

Hello,
We wish to implement ATP check using Ent Services.
Details:
Environment : SAP ECC 6.o with Enhancement Package 3/ SCM 5.0
Ent service used: /SAPAPO/SDM_PARCRTRC : ProductAvailabilityRequirementCreateRequestConfirmation
We were able to carry out Product check using the service. However we are unable to carry out rule based ATP check using the same service.
We have carried out the entire configuration as per SAP's building block configuration guide for Global ATP & SAP Note 1127895.
For RBA <Rule based ATP check>, we are getting the results as expected when we create Sales order from SAP R/3 (Transaction VA01), however ATP simulation in APO & Ent service does not give the results as expected. When we carry out ATP simulation in APO / Ent service, results are same as Product check & not as RBA i.e. they respect only requested Product location stock & does not propose alternate Product or Location in case of shortages
Plz share the experience to fix the issue

ATP check with acknowledged PO 's only

Dear Experts
In ATP checking rule A or B my client does not want to consider all Purchase orders but only those which have been acknowledged by Vendor.
Is there a possibility of this. I do not see any standard setting in configuration to achieve it.
Regards,
Neeraj Srivastava

Hi,
There is no standard SAP functionality can help your scenario.
You can try to use exit EXIT_SAPLATPC_001. You can check with an ABAP'er for possibilities.
Also try to look for OSS notes.

User Exit called when online ATP check with GATP

Hi Guys,
I got requirement as below,
Manipulate the GR time defined in the unloading point when the ATP confirmation of sales order is done with GATP online.
I noticed that the online GATP check from R/3 to APO is not going via normal CIF way of communication or at least even i de-registered CIF queue monitoring, the data transfer can still go through properly.
There are two questions popped up:
1. Any body knows the background routine how the data are transferred between R/3 and APO when online GATP is done, and how to debug this process?
2. Which functional module or exit user is called when online GATP check is done from R/3 sales order?
If anyone knows something you are also welcome to share your expertise!
Thanks!
Tony

hi! Tony
These are the Exits in online GATP

ATP Check with replenishment time

Dear All,
The system behaves, when we use the 02 availability check type in the material master and assign 02 check type to control rule A in OVZ9.In this assignment the no replenishment lead time is not selected;that's the system will take the replenishment lead time into account. But even if there's not enough stock, the sales order quantities are confirmed.
When I activate/select the "no replenishment lead time in OVZ9, the system confirms what's available in the storage location.
Is there thing missing in customizing? Is there any OSS note? The client actually requires the replenishment lead time in the availability check but the system also should give the correct confirmation in ATP check.
What should be else?
Regards
J.Black

Here what the problem is, even if the stock is not enough, the system confirms all the sales quantity in the sales order when the "check without replenishment lead time" in OVZ9 is not selected. This is wrong.
But when the "check without replenishment lead time" is selected, the sales order quantity is confirmed correctly.What is available in the stock is confirmed correcly.This is correct.
So the client wants the replenishment lead time selection in the OVZ9 and so that forward scheduling should exist but the stock availability check is şncorrect. What should we do now?

Storage Location level ATP check with CRM

Hi:
I am on an implemenation where the integration is between CRM, EWM and GATP. So, consider the situation where the sales order check is done through CRM and a call to GATP is made.
Some background on supply
EWM would like to receive the goods into storage location ROD (Received On Dock) and then do a movement type to move it to storage location AFS (Available For Sale). The sales orders should consider only the supply from storage location AFS and not ROD.
First question is, is it possible to do a storage location level determination in CRM? I don't think so but wanted to confirm. The reason is because even a plant determination is not possible in CRM when you integrate with GATP (the plant is determined through Rules).
Now, suppose that we have determined the storage location called AFS (in gATP through enhancement) and will do an ATP only at that level in GATP. Suppose that the first plant that will be checked is Plant A and then based on the location determination procedure, the next plant that will be checked is Plant B. When the system checks supply at Plant B, then the question is this: will it still check only at storage location AFS in Plant B or will it check at the plant level? The requirement will be to check at the same storage location level (which means that whatever process we used to determine the storage location at Plant A has to be followed for Plant B also).
One option that can be considered is to check at the Storage Location MRP Area level (there seems to be better support for RBA and Storage Location MRP Area than just storage location). See SAP Note 412314. But this is also complicated.
Another option is to not check at the storage location level but represent the various stocks with stock types (stock type ROD and stock type AFS) and only the stock type AFS will be used in the list of ATP categories.
Please share any experience that you may have in this.
Thanks,

Hi Satish,
In my project also we had this requirement to determine the correct Storage location after plant has been determined by using rules.
What we did is as follows:
- We created a Z table which had entries for all plants and preferred storage locations for those plant (only one entry per plant) in your case it will be like:
Plant A - AFC
Plant B - AFC
Plant C - AFC
- We used a ATP user exit in APO to get the storage location of source plant ( which was determined in APO via rules) from the Z table.
I hope this helps.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Anupam

ATP check for STO

Hi Gurus
Can some one explain me about the configuration of ATP for Stock Transport Orders?
Thanks
Sam

Hello,
1. you can create your own checking rule in IMG - MM - Purchase order - Set up Stock transport order - Create checking rule
2. then you can define the checking rule in IMG - MM - Purchase order - Set up Stock transport order - Define Checking Rule.
If you create a new checking rule in the first step, you should enter a new entry here. "Availability check" field refers to the field in Material master record MRP3 view
3. assign your STO order's checking rule in IMG - MM - Purchase order - Set up Stock transport order - Assign delivery type and checking rule.
4. Go to IMG - Purchasing - Environment Data - Define Default values for buyers.
Choose "Settings for Default values", select one record, then click "Addl. scrs." tab, there is a field "Detailed information" on "Availability check for stock transfers" sub-screen.
After finishing this setting, you can assign parameter ID "EVO" for users and put the value of the record you defined in step 4.

ATP check with RLT - rescheduling keeps pushing confirmed date out???

In order entry, our availability check is looking only at inventory and RLT... so that if stock is unavailable, the line item gets confirmed for a future date based on the material's RLT. We have noticed, however, that every night when backorder rescheduling runs, the confirmed date is pushed out one day later (assuming that no inventory exists still). So it appears that BO rescheduling is recalulating the confirmed date based on the current date + RLT.
Does this make sense? Is there any way we can make the original confirmed date stick? We don't want to use the Fixed Date & Qty flag on the schedule line screen, because we want to be able to pull the confirmation (and delivery) in earlier if the inventory is available earlier... we just don't want it to keep getting pushed later.

This boils down to a business question.
Say you have a material with a 30 day RLT.
On Day 1, an order is placed - and due to no stock or planned receipt of stock with the 30 days - the delivery date is moved out 30 days based on the RLT.
Now it's day 29, you run the backorder report and there is still insufficient stock / replensihment plan within the next 30 days.
==> Do you want to keep the promised delivery date of day 30 - or is day 59 more realistic?
More to the point, why hasn't stock been acquired or a replenishment plan / order been created in the previos 29 days?
The RLT shouldbe set so that there is a very high likelyhood that the order can be fulfullled ini that time line.
To me, it makes sense to keep pushing out the date. When stock actually shows up in sufficient quantity, the date will be moved back up.

Order Processing - Capacity and ATP check with planned order

Dear all,
is it possible to block the creation of a sale order based with PP strategy 81 (or similar) if missing components for planned order are given?
Is also possible to block the creation of a sale order with PP strategy 81 (or similar) if no alllowable capacity for planned order is given in the scheduled dates?

Luca,
is it possible to block the creation of a sale order based with PP strategy 81 (or similar) if missing components for planned order are given?
Not in Standard SAP ERP. You can block confirmation in 81 or 82.
Is also possible to block the creation of a sale order with PP strategy 81 (or similar) if no allowable capacity for planned order is given in the scheduled dates?
Not in standard SAP ERP. It is possible to generate a notification popup during the capacity check.
The functionalities you seek exist in APO using either CTP or MATP

ATP check with EDI orders

hello all,
When we create a sales order manually, we get a delivery proposal screen with the options of choosing different dates and quantity. Can I know how this works with an Inbound EDI order?
Whether the sales order will be created with unconfirmed quantities ? Does user intervention is required if IDOC fails due to availability failure? Can we automate the process for EDI orders so that the order picks up alternate plant or material if it is linked to GATP(APO)?

Block the ATP Stock for non-ATP checked items in BOP

Hello GATP Experts,
We have a strange and interesting scenario here with STOs. Let me explain step by step
1) We don't do ATP check for STOs and hence a Z-check mode has been designed and it will be considered for STO documents
2) Now, let us consider a situation where I have a stock of 100 CS for Material M1 at Plant P1.
3) Let's say, a STO document gets created at 09:00AM in the morning with requested quantity 50 and as it doesn't do ATP check this will be fully confirmed
and consumes 50CS of the stock.
4) So, the net cumulative quantity that is available is 50CS.
5) At 11:00AM,let us say; there is a sales order that was created for a quantity of 100 CS. As the sales document does the ATP check it consumes the only available 50 CS and gets saved with partial confirmaiton situation.
Now, at 12:00 PM - We are running the BOP. When we run the BOP ; what standard SAP does is STO document (as per our business scenario, STOs has higheest priority and they fall on top of the list) gets skipped due to non-ATP check mode and full stock is allocated to the sales order which makes no sense to us which leads to over confirmation situation.
We thought of exluding the STOs from BOP ; however - we end up in not re-scheduling the STO documents which would result in requiring a separate BOP to be run for the STO documents.
FYI - We have contacted SAP and they have confirmed that the above mentioned behavior of the BOP is as designed and it cannot be changed.
Is there any alternative solution for this ? Appreciate your valuable ideas.
Thanks
Babu Kilari

You might have already considered this. pardon if this sounds dumb.
see if you can pass STO's as a receipt in the scope of check for STO's. I presume it is requirement element in your case for ATP checking rule for STO's. Don't include these STO's in sales order checking rules.
This may result in inconsistent ATP logic though. Alternately try creating a Z category for STO and call it a receipt. include this also in the scope of check for STO's.
Try running BOP and see what happens. BOP on its own is not a gurantee that a requirement is always confirmed over another, whatever be the sorting criteria. If there isnt enough stuff, the system has its own internal logic of sorting too which probably treats priority by time of creation of the requirement.
Publish if you meet any success. These ideas are just based on my fancies

ATP check for component materials

Hello experts,
The ATP check was initially designed for a kitting process. BOM Material would be kitted in the distribution center(DC) and sent to a garage. Sales orders are created with BOM materials for a garage and there is a multi- level GATP process in place. Since BOM materials do not exist at a garage the check would be performed at a DC for components after BOM explosion. The existing configurations in R3 and APO are for a make to order process(Strategy group of 50 for BOM's and 40 for component).
We are now introducing new materials for an existing material and have the need for product substitution on the sales order, if the existing material is out of stock at the DC. To enable this functionality we are having to perform an ATP check for the sales orders at the distribution center, though the sales order is created for a garage. To improve on the response times during the ATP check our design approach, is to convert the BOM materials in the sales order to component materials with material determination(one BOM material is tied to one component material) and performing the ATP check with components at the DC.
While testing we are facing the following issues:
1)Sales order placed on a garage is substituted with the DC after product substitution. This does not occur when product substitution is carried out with BOM's.
2)During the order create, the ATP checks for check mode u201845u2019 and business event u2018AEu2019 for a given material in a DC shows zero stock. While for the same material,location and business event AE the product availability check in APO reflects stocks available.
Is it feasible to do ATP checks for component material in a sales order which was initially designed to work with BOM materials? Am I missing some configuration settings in either APO or R3?
Regards,
Anil DeSouza

Hi Anil,
Yes it can be done.
1) For finished product & garage combination -
activate RBATP in the check instructions.
2) in the location substitution maintain 'location determination sctivity'. Here you maintain different check mode & business event -- ( this is nothing but check instruction --- in thsi you maintain 'MATP').
Hope this anws your first qus.
To addressing your 2nd question....follow below steps.
1) Do ATP from sales order, get onto results screen, click on product availability & check for 'scope of check' (check control) and look for the stock types that are included. Based on this your receipts are consdiered for ATP confirmation.
Best Regards,
Deepthi
