I've set the parameter SD_VARIANT_MAINTAIN = A and it works for VA05 and other SD transactions BUT it doesn't work for V_RA - backorder processing.
I' can't save, choose or maintain variant.
I've searched OSS notes and couldn't find anything usefull, please help.
Thanks

Hi,

What are RLT and backorder processing?

Hi Gurus,
Can you tell me what are RLT and backorder processing and why we do backorder processing?
Thanks,
Paul

hi,
Replenishment lead time is the time that is needed to order or produce the requested material. The system determines replenishment lead time according to specific times defined by you in the material master record. Depending on the material type, replenishment lead time can be calculated according to various time periods. In the case of trading goods, for example, it is determined according to the planned delivery time, purchasing processing time, and the goods receipt processing time.
Backorder Processing
Backorder processing is a functionality in SAP where you can change the committments and over-ride the blockage of stocks
marked against sales documents/deliveries. For e.g. you receive an order from a very important customer for material "A" but
the entire quantity of A is committed to another customer "B" via earlier sales orders and this is where BACKORDER processing helps you to change the committment and shift stock due for B to A. This is the benefit of this funtionality.

Difference between incomplete order and backorder processing

What is the difference between incomplete order and backorder processing.

Hi,
Incomplete order is an order in which all the fileds(To which the Incompletion procedure is assigned) are not filled before saving the sales order.Using backorder processing, you can list sales documents relevant for requirements for particular materials and confirm them manually. You can assign available-to-promise (ATP) stock to outstanding order quantities. In addition, you can withdraw already confirmed quantities and reassign them to different items. This means If the stock of a material has been confirmed to a particular order or delivery, and after that you have recieved an order which ahs to be delivered immediately , then you can change the stock allottment of the previous order to this new order using back order processing. The transaction code for this is "V_RA". Transaction code to see which incompletion procedure is assigned to your sales order type is "VUA2" And to see the Incompletion procedure itself is "OVA2". Kindly please let me know If you need any more information on this.

No Backorder Processing (V_RA) record exist for Req Type KE (MTO)

Hi,
A sales order is created. It's a MTO scenario where the Requirement Type (RqTy) is KE. However, this record does not appear in the Backorder Processing report (V_RA). I tried changing the RqTy to 011, it appears in V_RA. On top of that, I also tested for MTS scenario where RqTy is KSL. The record does appear in V_RA.
Why the record does not appear in V_RA for RqTy = KE ?
Please advise.
Thanks.

As A RULE Backorder processing is only available for materials with individual requirements. Summarized requirements are usually used for materials sold in bulk quantities. Backorders for bulk products are not, as a rule, processed manually.
AND FOR MTO with req type KE we have to deal with PO for vendor and component subcontracting with other vendor so for recq type KE is not application for backorder processing since back order is for high priority/immediate delivery orders
thanks

GATP Product allocation status report and backorder processing

Dear Experts,
We are using product allocation as the first and only step in GATP check.
The scenario is like this:
Sales order total quantity = 200
Planned allocation quantity=150
Thus
Confirmed sales order quantity=150
Questions:
1.Now how can see the confirmed/unconfirmed situation for all sales orders.
Is there any standard report.
I understand that this report need to show the planned allocation quantity,total sales order quantity and the confirmed sales order quantity may be bucket wise.Also this report can show the details of all sales orders in the bucket.
The GATP planning book only shows confirmed sales orders in the "sales order" keyfigure until you have introduced another order series key figure for sales order(not related to GATP) which has sales order/scheduling agreement category group assigned to it.
2.Can I do backorder processing of sales orders assuming that after the above report is run,I have changed the planned allocation quantity from 150 to 200 and I need that the sales order can be confirmed now by this program rather than by going into ECC and triggering the GATP check again.
Note that the stock availability situation may remain the same.
Request you to kindly suggest if this is possible in backorder processing.If yes,then what are the settings and the transactions to execute this.
Thanks,
Chandan

Thanks so much Michael for a prompt reply.
Couple of points.
1./sapapo/ac42-This report is helpful but this has 2 issues.
It has to be run at individual CVC level.Thus it is not a comprehensive report.
It does not provide sales order original quantity.It just provides the planned allocation quantity,confirmed sales order quantity and the remaining quantity.This is normally already available in interactive planning of GATP planning area.
What we need is a report which must say what is the original sales order quantity and how much has been confirmed and how much is the bucket planned allocation quantity.
2.Running ATP in product view or interactive backorder processing view may not help as they seem to be working with ATP group and not with check mode.Note that product allocation gets triggered when check mode comes into play.
Do you know if we can make it work with check mode.
3.The batch backorder processing is working when I am using the "update changes" option.I am still evaluating the results as I don't understand many settings here.It will be nice if you can elaborate on some of the settings used in this transaction please.
Thanks again.

Chandan

Tcode:V_RA Program:SAPMV75B backorder processing

Hi folks,
Tcode V_RA for backorder processing.
I copied the standard program SAPMV75B to SAPMZ75B to sort the list based on all orders, open orders and back orders. Can anyone tell me how to meet this requirement. Your answers are highly appreciated and rewarded. This is urgent.
Thank you,
Alok

I resolved this issue by myself. I made entries to all T180 tables: t180g, t180v, t180s, t180z, t180t to display the list of back orders. Now my problem is where exactly should i cange to display all orders, open orders and back ordres by selecting the custom checkboxes on the selection screen.
Can anyone help me on this.
Thanks,

Significance and scope of backorder processing

Folks
I am trying to understand the Significance and scope of backorder processing.
Is backorder processing a standard process that is run in every company frequently or is there a special need that drives this process ?
Thanks

Hi Sree
In simple term Back order Processing is more of a manipulation.
The quantity already assured to other customers earlier are being manipulated/changed here.
Back order is created in two scenarios.
1. If the order quantity is not totally confirmed.
2. If the requested delivery date can not be kept.
I will give you a simple example.
Suppose ,you have a material M1.
Your sales closing is 30th Oct.
As of to-day your stock is 1000 units, out of which suppose 200,300 and 400 units are already assured/promised to customer A,B and C respectively.
You are not going to receive any stock before 1st Nov.
In this scenario, suppose one of the biggest institution (your most important customer) has palced an order for 400 units and to be delivered before 30th Oct.,whereas you have only 100 units left open with you.
You have been trying for this order since last few months as this business is very lucrative, every year grows by atleast 30%,payment is very good, profit is very good, it is a prestigious institute where all compititors are active.
If you will not serve this order, then in future you will loose the business permanently which you can not afford.
In this situation what you will do ?
Obviously, You will change the already promised quantity earlier to other customer and find out 500 units for this order, and this process is called Back Order Processing.
Back order processing is of 2 types.
1. Manually (Here ATP quantities are reassigned manually as for confirmation and manage the required stock for the important customer)
Here t.code CO06 is used.
2. Automatic or via Rescheduling ( Here system does automatically taking the "Delivery priority" from the customer master into consideration). Here t.code V_V2 is used.

Backorder processing in Scheduling agreement

Hi,
When user creating scheduling agreement with delivery dates,qtty will not be confirmed.
as there is no stock. once company get the requirement, company starts production,after production-same will be informed to the stores department. Then they post the stock for that material. This will be informed to the user by mail.
But in scheduling agreement, qtty will not be confirmed , until user did the changes in "Re-scheduling/Backorder processing" - it consumes time for the user.
as daily there will be "N" no.of agreements will be there. User cant do it manually for each and every agreement.
Is there any prog, whenever stores post the stock for particular material, automatically system should confirm the stock for those agreements?
R
Is there any tcode, in which we can run for the specific agreements based on the delivery date, so that stock will be confirmed?

Options are
- run V_RA
- go to MB1B with movement type 412E and reserve the stock. This also has to do manually scheduling agreement wise. If you feel that manual entry is not possible, may be you can develop a zee tcode through which you can copy the logic of MB1B and post the stocks in bulk
thanks

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.

Interactive Backorder Processing on Replenishment Purchase Orders

Hi Team,
Can you please let me know if Interactive Backorder Processing be performed on Replenishment POs as per the standard SAP design?
When I try to perform BOPI on a Replenishment PO it gives me a dump. The dump resulted because the "First Sales Order" field was missing.
Please let me know what this "First Sales Order" means with respect to a Replenishment PO.
Thanks in advance for the help and for your time.
Thanks & Regards,
Srikanth.

Hi Babu Kilari,
Thanks for the help.
Yes. Replenishment POs means STO documents. I checked the SAP Service Marketplace for this. But, couldn't get a solution.
There is a SAP note(1294888) released for a dump that occurred when changing the quantity of STO. But, this is a different case as that of my scenario.
If there is any SAP note BOPI on Replenishment POs kindly let me know.
Thanks & Regards,
Srikanth.

CO06 Backorder processing

Good morning!
I have to allow access to users to the sales orders backorder processing, but I cannot provide access to modifications. I thought about the tcode CO06 (which fully suits our purposes), but once there the users can change the reservations. My question is, is there a transaction like CO06, but that allows only displaying?
Thank and best regards,

Yes,pls use CO09-->Its the same but u cannot modify nothing.

Problem in Backorder Processing

I am facing a problem in backorder processing
Let me explain the scenario
System shows available quantity as 100 quantity for some x material, now I place order for 100 quantity for that material but the system confirms only 70 quantity when check the availability overview in co09 there was an open order for 30 quantity dated 2 years ago when I tried to do the backorder processing thru co06, the system doesnt allow me to select that particular line it shows the error please select the line that can be changed.
I checked that order in va02 in that status for that material is showing completed that has been delivered and billed completely. I dont know what to do now kindly guide me to solve this issue

If it is showing as open order qty of 30 that means that it is assigned to an order but the order is not completely delivered i.e. goods issue is not done or some other thing.
If you want to cancel that order, so that 30 value comes into your stocks, you have to delete that order. For that first you have to delete the delivery using VL02n and then the order using VA02, once that order is deleted you will get that stocks for your use........

Fair share logic in Backorder Processing - APOBO040 -

We are thinking to use backorder processing in GATP process. However, one of the expectations of our customer is "fair share logic" during the confirmation of sales orders. Let me clarify what I mean:
1- We have following sales orders in hand with the mentioned sorting.
_________Req. Quantity
SO1________20 pieces
SO2________20 pieces
SO3_________1 piece
SO4_________1 piece
2 - Assume that the total of our stocks and planned orders are 40 pieces. Then the system will give confirmation to the orders as follows:
__________Req. Quantity______Confirmed Quantity
SO1________20 pieces___________20 pieces
SO2________20 pieces___________20 pieces
SO3_________1 piece____________No confirmation
SO4_________1 piece____________No confirmation
3 - However we want to achieve such a confirmation distribution.
__________Req. Quantity______Confirmed Quantity
SO1________20 pieces___________19 pieces
SO2________20 pieces___________19 pieces
SO3_________1 piece_____________1 piece
SO4_________1 piece_____________1 piece
As we have seen from the in the customizing of APO this is somehow possible with the user exit "EXIT_/SAPAPO/SAPLBOP_040" - scope of check-
(APO Customizing / GATP / Enhancements / Backorder Processing / Define Scope of Check for Batch Backorder Processing)
Do you have information about this topic, have you tried this solution before, is it working???
If anybody can help, we really appreciate.
Thanks in advance and Best Regards

Hello there, This is in refrence to the doc posted in the link
Re: Fair share logic in Backorder Processing - APOBO040 -
I actually have the same requirement and want to implement the fair share logic by using the below mentioned User Exit... .But the last line in the documentation below says that "This is only possible for the basic methods product availability check and product allocation."" ....
Can I implement the same for Rules Based ATP .. actually we are using Rules Bases Sustn in cunjunction with BOP.
Please let me know if you any idea about this fair share ?? Can this be done ??

Event Driven Quantity Assignment with Backorder Process

Hi,
I have Configured EDQA for Activity Change Stock Data.
This Activity will "trigger" Backorder Process.
I have defined sales order characteristics that shoulb be used in a filter.
I'd like to include in Workflow for EDQA (see SWU3 and SWETYPV transaction) one more step.
This step would be Delivery Process after Backorder process.
Is it possible?
Regards
