Back Order Processing using APO GATP and Dynamic Credit Check Issue

Former Member

Standard R3 when executing Back Order Rescheduling (Transaction V_V2) will conduct a credit check / review and if unsuccessful will allocate any available inventory to the next document. This ensures in a restricted supply situation shipments and therefore revenue is maximised and also customer service is maintained.

Whilst using APO (GATP) the Back order Processing function (transaction /SAPAPO/BOP) the analysis of the situation is done upfront and it is only when the suggested updates are posted to R3 is the credit check triggered. This has the issue that any quatity of supply/inventory that becomes available as a result of credit check is NOT distributed during the same Back Order processing job to other demand.

Has anyone encountered this issue & how is that tackled? Thanks in advance for your responses.

Hello Nitin,

Since APO doesn't have the information about any credit check changes done in R/3., the ATP Checking process done during APO would not be able to identify if the credit status. Even in R/3 it is not the ATP check that does the trick rather the credit checks that were done during the save process of Sales order triggers the status checks. So, the only way to update the sales orders with the updated confirmed quantities or rescheduled orders would be to CIF it back to ECC and trigger the save process. During this particular event, the credit checks are invoked.

Though we have faced this issue earlier, we have not bothered much about it as there was no solution from SAP when contacted through an OSS message couple of years ago.

Thanks,
