Storage Location for sub lines in Rule Based ATP

[Former Member]

Hi

We are using Rule based ATP and we are doing location determination (no product substitution). The main TAPA line has storage location populated, but the TAN lines underneath for substituted plants are not having any storage location populated.  If I select the TAPA line and do a CHECK ITEM AVAIALBILITY, and accepts the result in APO Availability Check - Result Overview screen, then SAP populates the storage location for the sublines.

That is- sales order looks like this:

line10     Material1     qty1000     item catTAPA     Plant P1      SLOC100

line 11   Material1     Qty 800     item cat TAN       Plant P1       SLOC        (blank)

line 12   Material1     Qty. 200     item cat TAN      Plant P2       SLOC        (blank)

How do I make SAP to populated the storage location for sublines automatically.  This is not for a third party product and we are not using MRP area location. In the SCM config of ATP check control for the particular ATP group/Business event of SD order the check box for No Subloc. Check is not checked.

We are using SCM7.0

Thanks

Hi Raman,

Absolutely agree with Michael on this you have to use exit APOAT001 and add the required coding in same.

Hi Raman,

Please notice that in SAP standard it does not make sense to always pass the  storage location to the subitems. It is possible that the substitutions are not even maintained for these copied storage
locations. Therefore in the SAP standard the storage location will not be copied into the subitem.

If you would like to copy the storage location then you can activate enhancement 'APOAT001', customer-exit EXIT_/SAPAPO/SAPLATPT_001. In this exit you would just have to put the following coding line:

ES_ATPSGM-SUBLOC = IS_ATPSGM-SUBLOC

This should copy the storage location to the subitems.

Maybe note 807523 can be interessting for you as well.

best regards,

Michael
