ATP category assignment in APO

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

how is it decided in APO which ATP category will be assigned to which material doc.

why is it that ATP cat "CC" is for stock. If I want to use CS instead what are changes do I need to perform in R/3 and in APO.

Hi,

Categories describe the various stock, receipt, requirement, and forecast categories in SAP APO. SAP APO is shipped with a record of categories that represent MRP elements in the SAP R/3 system. You can create additional categories for external (non-SAP) systems.

Dear VS03,

the ATP categories are defined in customizing (transaction SPRO) to an "ATP Group" and "Business Event". This "ATP Group" can be then assigned to an appropriate material and the business event is assigned to the document category. Sales order = A , Delivery =B etc.

You can change also the assigned Stock categories in SPRO: APO- GATP - Product availability check - Maintain check control.
