Hi Vaibhav,

Sure. Turn off Rule based availability checking. The additional items are standard SCM/ERP functionality when substitution (product and/or location) is employed.

Dear Vaibhav,

Subitems are created for rule-based ATP (check instructions via transaction /SAPAPO/ATPC07: "Activate RBA" ticked) in the following cases:

1. The location product will be delivered from another (substituted) location. Or the product has been replaced. This is the standard scenario.

OR

2. If "always create sub-items" = ON (check instructions via transaction /SAPAPO/ATPC07: "Activate RBA" and "Start immediately").

3. If more than one location product combination has been determined by rules maintained (transaction /SAPAPO/RBA04); Even if full confirmation can be made against the original location product, a sub-item will still be created.

4. If partial confirmation takes place, a subitem for the remaining quantity will be created as well if "remaining requirements" = ON in the check instructions.

5. If Multi-item single delivery (MISL, formerly known as location predetermination or LPD) is active.

6. If preselection of substitutions is active.

I hope this helps.

Please check - check instruction setting.

SPRO - Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP) - General Settings - Maintain Check Instructions

Check setting of rule based ATP for check mode & business event (based on product master setting)

Setting for create subitem in rule based ATP setting should be trunned off.Also check setting of remaining requirement in rule based ATP check.

Can you pleasse try this settings.please follow the below path

SPRO-APO >> Global ATP >> General Settings >> Maintain Global Settings for Availability Check

In that for the Availability Check settings entry there is an option for Accept Time

If the indicator is set please uncheck that indicator. Hope this should solve your issue.
