GATP-Backorder Processing - DO NOT want to unconfirm any confirmed orders.

[satish_waghmare3]

Dear SAP Friends,

We have requirement that during GATP-Backorder Processing we do not want to unconfirm any confirmed sales orders.(Version Detail : SAP-SCM 5.00)

Our BOP variant does not have "Cancel Confirmation" check box (from 'Parameter Check' tab) selected. But we have seen that many sales order which were confirmed became unconfirmed after running the backorder processing. We do not want to touch any confirmed sales order during Backorder processing, it should only work on/check unconfirmed orders in the system.

FYI - We have Product Check and Product Allocation Check done within BOP process.

Also is there any check boxes we need to select or deselect from Filter Variant - "Confirmation Situation" tab.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks

Satish.

Hi Satish,

If you don't want the system to touch confirmed orders, you have to select the filter variant such that it picks up only unconfirmed Sales Orders. In confirmation Situation tab in the filter variant, chose 'Without Confirmation' check box.

This effectively sets up the BOP for all the unconfirmed orders and confirmed orders will not be touched.

Hi Mohan

Thanks for your reply. We already have 'Without Confirmation' check box selected, including all other check boxes from "Confirmation on" section from "confirmation Situation" tab within filter variant.

These are the check boxes we have selected - "Requested Date", Delivery Proposal, Requested Date(Part.), Delivery Proposal(Part) and 'Without Confirmation".

Do I need to unselect any of these check boxes to ensure not to touch/check confirmed orders?

Thanks

Satish

Answer: You need to unselect all other check boxes. Only select "without confirmation" to run BOP for unconfirmed orders.

If you have to run BOP for confirmed orders also, make a separate filter variant with "Req.Date", "Delivery Proposal" RequestedDate partial, delivery prop part and run it as a different job (assuming you're planning to do background processing)

These check boxes; "Requested Date", Delivery Proposal, Requested Date(Part.), Delivery Proposal(Part) apply to Confirmed orders only. If you select any of these, system will chose confirmed orders as follows.

Requested Date: System will chose all the orders that have been earlier confirmed fully on the requested date to participate in BOP.

Delivery proposal: System will chose the orders where Requested date is not met but confirmed fully with system proposed dates. In other words, all the orders that have multiple schedule lines.

Delivery Proposal(partial): System will chose the orders where Requested date is not met but also not confirmed fully.

Requested date(partial): system will chose the orders where Requested date is met but not fully confirmed.

Hope this answers your question.

Mohan
