ATP Check: R/3 and APO

Hi All,
My Query related to an Earlier Post (GATP: Unable to check ATP (in GATP) when creating sales order in R/3).
I would like to change the settings for ATP Check from APO system to R/3, I.E, the ATP Check for Business Rule should be triggered in R/3 and not in APO.
In the earlier post, inputs were provided for the following:
- Activation of ATP in external system: this is done in SPRO in the data transfer section.
- Another common point is cheking rule: In SPRO see that your business event(SO) is enabled for ATP check.
As per my information, the 'ATP Check' tick is possible at the level of Checking Group and Schedule Line Category in R/3
Could someone please provide inputs as to where in SPRO can we check the above 2 points mentioned?
regards,
Sudhir

Hi Sudhir,
The following are the points where changes are required for ATP check in APO.
The presumption is that there already is a active CIF connection.
1) MRP type of the material has to be 'XO'
2) Define an integration model for ATP checks of those materials.
3) Define Checking Group. SPRO -> S&D -> Basic Functions -> Availability Check -> Availability check with ATP logic.(Here you define 02 - individual requirement)
4) Define Check Control: the path is same. (Note that the combination of 02 & A is added)
5) Define Requirement Class: the path is same. Here you put the availability check tick. Use 050 & check availability check & transfer of requirement for them.
6) Next you define procedure for the schedule lines.( hope this is what you were looking for.
7) Go to SPRO -> integration with other SAP components -> APO -> Basic settings for data transfer -> Change Transfer -> Change Transfer for master data -> Activate change pointers Generally and tick it.
You are now ready to for ATP of SOs from R/3 in APO.
All setteings required in APO for GATP is clearly mentioned in APO help docs.
Sure it will work for you.
All the best

To Turn OFF ATP check in APO-GATP Instead do locally in ECC.

Dear SAP Friends,
Currently for Sales orders & Deliveries, we have ATP Check (Allocation Check + Product Check) happening in APO-GATP. We would like to turn-off ATP check in APO-GATP, instead want to do only Inventory Check in ECC locally.
We want to do above for few particular model/plant combinations and not for all model/plant combinations. Meaning APO-GATP will still be used for many other APO relevant Model/Plant combinations.
What are the changes required to CIF Integration models u2013 Salesorder+ATP Check, or any other IM. Any changes specific to material master in ECC - like MRP Controller, ATP Group, Strategy Group or any config changes on APO side.
Please guide me with stepwise instructions.
Appreciate your help.
Thank
Satish

Hi Satish ,
I am not an expert on GATP but logically what I can suggest following steps :
1.As you want ATP check to happen in APO for few codes, you will have to Select/Tick 'Material Independant Object' - ATP Customization in CIF IM , so that ATP customizing settings are transferred to APO from ECC.
2. But at the same time you need this ATP check to happen in ECC locally and not in APO for certain products, then in other CIF IM you have to select 'Material dependant objects '- ATP Check where you can set the filter/exclusion on those codes so that the ATP check does not take place in APO.
3. Also like as R/3's backorder processing, in order itself you can set as the ATP check to occur in R/3 and not in APO.
Hope this helps...

GATP in APO and Free Goods Pricing Records in R/3

We have set up Free Goods in SAP R/3. These free goods are granted based upon a series of access sequences in pricing.
We also have our Order Entry system using GATP on our APO box. In that APO instance, we have set up a large number of product substitutions to occur at order time.
When an item is ordered that is NOT subbed to different item by APO and that item has Free Goods associated with it, the Free Goods are granted by R/3 and placed onto the sales order.
When an item is ordered that IS subbed to different item by APO and that item has Free Goods associated with it, the Free Goods are NOT granted by R/3.
Why are the Free Goods being ignored after the substitution? We have Free Goods records in pricing for BOTH items, and neither one is granting the Free Goods.
Is this a bug, a feature, or an oversight ?
Any help in this area will be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Hi John,
GATP in APO does not supports Free Goods.

What are the prerequisites for GATP and how to check SO in APO

Hi
I've created a Sales order in R/3. for this the availability check is being done in APO(SCM). when I press enter it is going to APO(SCM).
now i want to see this Sales order in APO(SCM), what is transaction for this? and do i need to maintain any CIF model to see the Sales order in APO.
pls give me some note on this.
thanx in advance

ATP/GATP documents

Hello all,
Do you guys have documents that show all the process about GATP and ATP? Weu2019ll start an APO implementation Project in few monthsu2026 and until there Iu2019d like to clarify theses differencesu2026
Thanks in advance

Hello Bruno,
I'm not sure if a documentation exists, but I can describe you the differences shortly:
ATP in R/3
ATP check just inside of one R/3 system
DB Tables or shared buffer (ATP Server)
Standard check methods
limitations exist to combine the check methods
simple substitution of products
simple Backorderprocessing
Globale ATP
cross system ATP check possible
using of liveCache Technology
Extended Check Methods (e.g. trigger PPDS to confirm a order)
no limitations to combine the check methods
rule based substitution of products, locations, PPMs
extended Backorderprocessing
As you can see the GATP has a lot of more options to check and to confirm a requirement. For further details about a single point of GATP please check to SAP Help

Sales Order availibility check not triggering GATP in APO

Hi Gurus,
We intend to use GATP in APO. When Sales Person enters any SO and presses for availibility check, it should trigger availibility check in APO. in APO we intend to use RBA with Location substituation rule.
Following are the settings done:-
1) Integration Model for Plant.material and SO are created and activated
2 Created Integration Model for ATP check and ATP customizing
3) Created Check Instruction in APO for check Mode : 050 and Business event : A
4) Created Check Control with ATP Group : 2 and Business Event : A
5) Created all necessary configuration for Location substituation under RBA configuration.
Currently when we create a sales order and selects the item for availibility check , it does a local ATP check in ECC , but it does not trigger GATP in APO.
Am i missing any configuration or master data setting?? Any help will be appreciated.
thanks,
Jaideep

Jaideep,
Assuming you are only using outbound queues, check for blocked or otherwise unprocessed queues. SMQ1 in ERP. SMQ1 shoould have zero entries
You must also have a Sales order Integration model activated, which can also be displayed in CFM5. You should be able to see existing sales orders in APO in //RRP3.
I will assume this is a new implementation, and you have never gotten a successful APO ATP in this system. You should Delete any inactive ATP or Sales order Integration models that contain this material/plant. You should inactivate any duplicate IMs, so that there is only one ATP IM and only one Sales Order IM active for this material/plant, at least until you have solved this problem.
New development also means that some of your developmental trials may have caused the CIF to become inconsistent. You can run program RCFORDCH to clean up CIFORDMAP inconsistencies. You can regenerate the runtime by executing RCIFIMAX using 'generate'. You should delete all your unused T_ATPCHK and T_SLS filter objects with program RCIFIMDL
In general, there are many other helpful tips found in https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/563806 and in the other notes called out in this note.
If there is nothing in the queue, and assuming that you have an active ATP Integration model working, and assuming that all data in ERP is consistent, then there is probably an enhancement interfering with the process. Consult your SD developers to discover which one of the ERP enhancements is stopping APO GATP.

Global ATP Check vs APO

Hello All,
Two questions about the Global ATP check :
1. Could i get documentation about this functionnality? How does it work? What does the Global ATP check allows us to do?
2. Is it possible to get the Global ATP check without APO?
Thanks for your answer.

Christophe
The end objective of GATP is the same as that of regular ECC ATP - provide customers with committed dates and quantities. Having said that, GATP provides a HUUUGE improvement in functionality compared to the ECC ATP check - for example, rules based ATP check for product/ location substitution, multi-level ATP check, capable-to promise, etc.
Because of these dramatic improvements in functionality, GATP has the potential to do a lot more than order promising - depending on the business requirement, it can reduce inventory, improve customer service, improve fill rates, ....
GATP is executed in the APO system and is a module of APO. Best place to start with documentation is SAP help.

GATP and STO..?.any idea?

Hi,
I need to know how STO works wrt GATP. Can we use ME2N to ME27N for STO? OR we have to use SNP/deployment? Can anyone explain STO process in SCM context?
regards,
shan

Hello Shan,
Yes, it works from the ME02N.
We use STO with GATP with APO 4.1. It works more or less like in the sales order scenario but in this version it does not have the CTP option, the ATP screen must be called explicitly from the menu and overall it still has some bugs. It's usable in 4.1, but it's probably better in 5.0.

BASE UOM different in R/3 and APO

Hi Experts
I am working in a scenario where we have 2 R/3 boxes connected to 1 APO. The products are common across the boxes but locations are different. We are implementing GATP with Rules based substitutions for locations across the R/3 boxes. Since the confrmations in sales order in 1 R/3 box will have supplying locations lying in other R/3 box, we have set up all 3 systems (2 R/3 and 1 APO) under the asme BSG.
1. Now there is a situation where there is a material defined with the same material number in both R/3 boxes but the base UOM is different (eg. In one box it is Kg and the other it is gram). All relevant conversions (Kg to gram and gram to KG) are already defined in respective R/3 material masters. It is evident that in APO I will be working with only one base UOM. I have transferred the material from one of the box and the base UOM transferred is KG. If I CIF the same material from the other box (for different location and different base UOM gram) I get an error as the there is a base UOM conflict in APO. Have you come across such a situation in any of your projects? If yes then how did you reslove it?
2. Assuming that I am able to overcome the above problem by using user exits around CIF, I will have a situation where there is a material defined with base UOM as GRAM in one of the R/3 boxes and KG in APO (I manually simulated such a scenario by changing the base UOM in APO). In both R/3 and APO the appropriate UOM conversions have been defined. When I CIF stock of 10 gram, it comes in APO and appears as 10 KG. Is there a workaround for this situation.
Your response will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

ATP check for delivery in ECC & Sales order ATP check in APO

Hi All,
Can we do an ATP check for delivery in ECC , but for the same set of Materials- Plant combination , the ATP check when a SO is created should happen in APO .
We do not want to remove the Business event 'B' which is meant for delivery in APO . For some materials we need APO ATP check to happen for delivery & for some it should be in ECC & for SO the ATP check should happen in APO .
Even if we do not have check instructions pertaining to Business event 'B' & a particular check mode (for the materials where the ATP check for delivery should happen in ECC & SO check to happen in APO) , when we are doing an ATP check for delivery , it is still pointing to APO ATP check rather than ECC check .
Any pointers for this is highly appreciated.
Regards
Surendra

Hi Surendra,
For SO, business event is A and for delivery it's B. When integrated with ECC, the check rule in ECC points as biz event in APO.
You can control ATP check by customized settings for check rule in ECC.
Also, by setting requirement class and requirement type in ECC, you control check mode in APO. So, even if you dont define for check mode in APO, the system might refer from ECC for the ATP check settings. Look into your ECC customization for how requirement class is derived and settings for requirement type. (based on MRP type, strategy grp and Item cat).
I'm not sure how you can control ATP to happen for some sales orders/deleveries in ECC and for some in APO, since check mode is mentioned in material master.
However, there are ATP BADIs (business add-ins) available in both ECC and APO, whch can serve your purpose.

Bipin

Create Std Sales order and APO upgrade

Hi Gurus,
I have a test case on "Create sales order (ZSLR)" for which the expected result is" Sales order creation and APO upgrade". I am supposed to write the test steps for the above test case.
Please guide me the test steps on how to do the "APO Upgrade" for a std sales order.
Appreciate your help and suggestions .

Hi Marc,
The ECC sales order display depends on the availability of integration
model and active ATP fields maintained in ECC material master
In APO, the product view display is controlled in Order view
customisation at APO under PPDS

CIF - Integration model name and APO application

Hi Experts,
In the CFM1 Transaction, there are 3 mandatory inputs are Model name, Logical system and APO application.
Logical systems are customized in CFC1 transaction. I couldn't trace the model name and application creation.
What is the transaction to customize/Create the new Model name and APO application.
Hope this is very simple question to you and expect your soon.
Thanks,
Saravanan V

Hi Somnath,
Thanks for ur reply.
First I saved the selection as variant. But it was not updated in the IM table.
Then I tried to generate the model and now I can see the details when I use the F4 help.
So, to create a integration model need to generate the variant once.
Thanks for the confirmation.
Thanks,
Saravanan V

Landscape planning with BI and APO

Hello all,
This is more of planning question rather than issue.
If you have upgraded your R/3 system first to Unicode before the BI and APO/SCM - how did you manage the interface testing within BI and APO, especially on how to avoid impact on existing work on BI/APO.
- DId you have to create a separate new landscape?
- Did you simply copy infocubes in the existing BI side?
- Did you also apply 'freeze' development work on both BI and APO?
Thanks,
Terry
