Product Overview columns (stock, requirements, receipts, forecast)

[Former Member]

In Product Overview (sapapo/pov1) there are 4 columns: Total stock, total requirements, total receipts, and total forecast.

Can anyone help with my questions below:

1. Which configuration/table do these columns reference to retrieve the ATP categories used in the calculation of the quantities?

2. Is there a way to add/exclude certain categories from the calculation of the 4 quantities above?

     - for example, I have defined some custom stock categories and I would like to exclude them from the Total Stock calculation. Similarly for requirement/receipts.

Many thank for your expert advice.

Hi

1. The ATP categories comes from the various orders and they are retrieved from the livecache at run time. So the data is not read from any table.

2. You can modify the calculation by implementing the userexit /SAPAPO/POV_COL for product overview. The parameter CT_OUTPUT_TABLE has all the information.

Also refer the following link for other userexits for product overview

Hi Mitesh,

How does system determine which order to select during runtime? I assume it should reference to a list of permissable ATP categories from somewhere, which is why some orders are selected and some not. I would like to know how system select the orders to derive the numbers for the 4 columns.

Thanks.

Hi Lin Ling

The system reads all the demand and supply orders for the product location which you enter in the product overview. In APO, based on the ATP  categories, the system knows whether it is a receipt element, requirement element, forecast or stock. So all the orders are read from live cache and then grouped based on their type.

You can influence this calculation in the user exit which I had mentioned. You can delete the data for the ATP categories which you don't want system to consider in calculation of those 4 columns.
