Hello,

I see the problem and totally understand the problem.

I think I might be able to give you some inputs in this matter as I have worked for 2 months on the same issue with no help from SAP.

We have an OSS submitted to SAP and they cannot help in this matter.

I am in US- Washington state.

Mail me or give me your number and I will call and speak with you.

Client is kicking me from either sides...

Does Notes 896433 and 946067 not help you?

Also this forum is not the official helpline and you cannot expect an immediate response. Moreover the information provided I believe does not have sufficient pointers for anyone to think of a solution. I assume this is related to GATP which frankly is not my cup of tea.

Thanks,

Hi Somnath,

Thanks for your response.

Yes i too avow that this forum is not ment for immediate cup of tea, its quite natural for all of us when we are in tight situations, we tend to behave to resolve it immediately, thats the reason i posted it as urgent.

As you said none can come and rectify the issues just like still people post messages to get an idea or feel that if someone had come across with similar problems .

Once again thanks for your solutions.

We implmented OSS896433 but its not helped let me try with other OSS.

Hi Team

Both the above OSS notes not helped me.

While digging data i got below information.

RelatedATP bucket settings in customizing? At least in SCM

4.1 there is a setting regarding this. The following is from the F1 help

on this setting:

Accept Time:

Use

The indicator defines if the confirmed schedule lines of the sales

orders in the connected OLTP system (SAP R/3) should be adopted based on

the day or on the time.

If the indicator is set, the sales order adopts the changes of the

confirmed schedule lines or the confirmations for a time other than the

desired delivery time, to the exact second. In the sales order a second

schedule line is created for the same day, but created with a different

time, or the times of the confirmed schedule lines can be changed.

If the indicator is not set, only one schedule line exists in the sales

order if the desired delivery day can be kept, or only changes to the

confirmed schedule lines are adopted that are at least one day different

from the desired delivery date"

Can any one of you pl help to find SPRO path for this setting?

Any other clues will be most welcome..

Sorry with all my pangs before.

Waiting for reply soon.

The SPRO path in APO/SCM would be

APO >> Global ATP >> General Settings >> Maintain Global Settings for Availability Check

In that for the Availability Check settings entry there is an option for Accept Time. The F1 help for it is as below.

ATP: Accept Schedule Lines According to Time

Confirmed schedule lines in the sales order of the connected OLTP system (SAP R/3) based on the time.

Use

The indicator defines if the confirmed schedule lines of the sales orders in the connected OLTP system (SAP R/3) should be adopted based on the day or on the time.

If the indicator is set, the sales order adopts the changes of the confirmed schedule lines or the confirmations for a time other than the desired delivery time, to the exact second. In the sales order a second schedule line is created for the same day, but created with a different time, or the times of the confirmed schedule lines can be changed.

If the indicator is not set, only one schedule line exists in the sales order if the desired delivery day can be kept, or only changes to the confirmed schedule lines are adopted that are at least one day different from the desired delivery date.

Dependencies

If confirmed schedule lines should be created based on the time, this can lead to several confirmed schedule lines for a request schedule line being created per day in the sales order, and in the item overview the impression is given that no confirmation could be made according to what was requested.

In addition, the data volume of the SAP R/3 database tables VBEP and VBBE will increase significantly, since each schedule line is represented with a data record in these tables. The same effect will also occur for the APO liveCache and for the database table /SAPAPO/SCHEDLIN.

Example

Request: Confirmation Situation:

100 pieces for 01.01.2002 12:00

50 pieces for 01.01.2002 14:00

30 pieces for 01.01.2002 16:00

20 pieces for 01.01.2002 18:00

If this indicator is NOT set, the request schedule line is confirmed and no further schedule lines are created:

100 pieces for 01.01.2002 12:00

If this indicator is set, the following (partially) confirmed schedule lines are created:

00 pieces for 01.01.2002 12:00

50 pieces for 01.01.2002 14:00

30 pieces for 01.01.2002 16:00

20 pieces for 01.01.2002 18:00

Hi SIva,

Is this happening for new orders created as well? or was it only a one of case?

Can you check the change log under environment and see what all changes have happened on this order. that may be helpfull.

BIju Thanks for your reply,

its still happening only to a specific plants (2 plants ) and for APo related materials only. We are daily running a query to list orders with double confirmed before doing delivery we delete the one of the confirmations.

In the document change history no useful ifor available.

Any clues will be rewarded highly.
