Book on APO GATP

Hi,
Can someone suggest a good book on APO GATP .
With regards,
Mrinal

In addition to the above suggestions I suggest you to go through Building blocks which has a step by step process of GATP Configuration.Here is the link. Click on the 'Configuration Guide'.
http://help.sap.com/bp_scmv150/BBLibrary/HTML/ATP_EN_DE.htm
and also please refer Supply Chain Management and Advanced Planning by By Hartmut Stadtler, Christoph Kilger. Besides these, I personally suggest to read some books on Supply chain concepts which would be helpful for you to understand the  Supply chain process.
Essentials of Supply Chain Management By Michael Hugos.This is also a good book to understand the Supply chain Basics
And you can also refer SDN Wiki for some more info.

  • 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.

  • APO GATP Location replacement

    Hi Gurus,
    In APO GATP, location substitution works by first checking the stock in the base location (the location from where the material availability check happens) and if stock is not available in the base location only then it cascades/ substitutes to another location. But, we have a scenario wherein when material availability check happens it should straightaway carry the location substitution without even checking the availability at the base location; the availability check & delivery should only happen from the substituted location; backorder (open quantity) also sits at the substituted location.
    Can you please give me the various customizing options to map the above requirement in SAP SCM?

    Hi Bala checked various rules but didnt help - if substitution is successful then backorder option fails and vice versa. Our major challenge is for the open quantity, which has to reside only at the substituted location (and not at the base).
    Rishi, tried flagging rules immediately but unfortunately doesn't help.
    If my understanding is not correct then can you both please elaborate a bit on the mentioned settings.
    Thanks guys!

  • 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...

  • APO GATP :  Unable to call APO during ATP check

    Question: While creating Sales order in ECC, ATP check in performed in ECC rather than in APO (GATP). Not sure where the issue is.
    1. RFC connectivity exisit between ECC and APO server -- Checked
    2. Integration model active with ATP flag checked and also ATP customization flag active 
    Note: The entries in  MARC table (field APOKZ)  for GATP relevant material shows a value of '3' .  I guess it should be either 1 or 2.   I am not sure what makes it a value of 1 or 2.
    Appreciate your help.

    Katrat,
    I will assume that you have never attempted ATP in APO on this ERP/SCM pair of systems.
    There are so many things that must be set up properly to first turn on ATP, the answer is not really suitable for a forum post.  I suggest you follow the Best Practices step by step.  When I have followed these steps, I have never been unsuccessful in establishing an initial ATP.
    [Connectivity|http://help.sap.com/bp_scmv250/BBLibrary/Documentation/B02_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_DE.doc] (you probably don't need this one, since you say you have already tested your connection successfully)
    [Replication|http://help.sap.com/bp_scmv250/BBLibrary/Documentation/B05_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_DE.doc]
    [Global ATP|http://help.sap.com/bp_scmv250/BBLibrary/Documentation/ATP_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_DE.doc]
    The above will get you to the point of a basic product check in SCM, with the option of RulesBasedAvailability check.  I suggest you ignore RBA until you have established a successful basic product check.

  • Stock booking for sales orders using APO gatp

    Hello Experts,
    We are having similar case as YR, for which I'm searching for a solution. > (Putting this in a separate thread so that I can reward points)
    We have certain sales orders (which are created on portal) for which we need to book stocks. These orders have different ord type. We want to give priority to these sales orders against existing/upcoming stocks. (For these orders, no customer master exists, kind of one-time).
    Requirement is - Portal orders are placed according to the updated stock on portal (frequent run programs). But at the time of actual delivery creation, it happens that no stock available for the order and existing stock 'robbed' by other sales orders/deliveries meanwhile. We want to give 'portal orders' more priority than other normal orders/STOs.
    We have receipt elements in Purchase orders only and no production orders. Also, portal orders are not subjected for gatp check, once the order is saved, a sales order is triggered & created in ECC (XI/PI) against dedicated Plants/Warehouses.
    We have gatp and trying to find solution for it. Could you please guide how to book stocks for these 'priority orders' against existing unrestricted-use stock & against upcoming purchase orders?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hello Babu,
    Thanks for your inputs. I would like to get into more details of what you mentioned about delivery priority. In my case, any customer places online order on webportal (based on current stock on portal which we frequently update through programs) and once the order is saved, a Sales order is created in ECC for a "one time customer" (there are hardly 2-3 customers for the e-orders), for which gatp check happens and stock is assigned as per availability and delivery date is assigned. So basically issues are
    1. Order in ECC should be placed with successful gatp check & confirmation - chances are of stealing stocks in between the 'time gap' of stock update on portal & order placing till order creation in ECC with gatp check >> for this we are working on stock update programs.
    2. Once delivery date is assigned to the order after successful gatp check, during the time of delivery creation, there are other STOs which steal stocks & create outbound deliveries before the portal order. Here we want to stop the 'robbing'.
    So looking at this aspect, could you please elaborate the point of -
    "Since you have a different sales document type, why don't you assign a higher delivery priority to these orders during ATP check ? You can influence the default delivery priority that comes from customer master to a very high delivery priority just before the ATP check ( use field catalogue user exit ) and pass the high delivery priority to APO"
    And how can we use field cataloguser exit?
    And ya, we may not need ROC, as there will be no one ready to 'Donate' But thanks for highlighting the option as well..
    Thanks

  • Error in APO GATP: Exception while scheduling activit & Internal error 0010

    Hello APO experts,
    I am working for a APO project where GATP is used. At the time of sales order creation user is getting ,
    The following errors / warnings are being returned by APO
    W VV                   800 APO: Exception when scheduling an activity
    E VV                   800 APO: Internal error: Item /000010
    Has anybody come across such issues. Waiting for your replies.
    Regards
    Ravindra

    Hi,
    This is a very generic error message but points to the scheduling. Goto your SCM system and check the settings for your scheduling. Do you use CPS - configurable process scheduling ? Then I assume an error in the scheduling schema.
    Please check your settings and maybe userexits and provide us some further details.
    regards,

  • APO GATP Backorder processing -- SO's in R/3 not updating -- CIF problem

    Issue: After executing backorder processing in APO, the update is stuck in CIF .. error (*"Inbound APOCLNT800: No IModel active for cat. Sale"*)
    Note:  I am able to create SO's in R/3 and getting commit from APO.
    After Saving the SO's the SO's are transferred to APO ( I am able to see the SO's in product view - APO).
    I wonder where is the IM not active
    Appreciate your inputs

    Hi kitkat,
    If this is a test of a new functionality, you might just have an old blocked queue.  Try deleting the blocked queue and then re-try the BOP.
    If this is a new error for a BOP scenario that had been working previously, then check your deltareport.  You may have an order in SCM that for whatever reason is no longer being handled by SCM.  In this case, you only need to delete the order in SCM.
    If these two tries don't work, then you need to start examining your CIFs to see if the product/location/sales ord/stock/ATP/etc etc are consistant with your expectations.  Don't forget, in the case of a GATP using location/product substitution, you need to ensure that all possible data that would be needed by BOP is being properly CIFd across.
    Best Regards,
    DB49

  • APO - GATP

    Hi,
    when i am trying to reschedule from sales order to change confirmed dates which comes from APO.
    this is throwing an different error and it is
    no substitution for item 000010 with "rules immediately".
    please help to understand why i am getting this error or information and its is backing all my changes from sales order screen.
    regards,
    balajia

    Dear Balaji,
    The reason for this message is that RBA did not find any subsitution. This is a customizing issue.
    I assume you have activated the rules-based ATP check in the check instructions, but maybe no condition records were 
    maintained. So no rules will be executed.                          
    e.g. When MISL is active, the flags 'rules based ATP check' and 'perform rules immediately' are automatically set in the check instructions and in this case, there has to be at least one valid substitution. If not, like in your case, you will get this warning
    and the sales order item will not be confirmed.                   
    I hope I could help you further.
    Regards,
    Tibor
