Former Member

Hi Experts,

My requirement for gATP check/ Product Availability Check is as below.

Requested Delivery Date  variation 1 :  When the requested delivery date is in the next week

ATP should check -->  Look at on hand stock + in transit stock

Requested Delivery Date variation 2: When requested delivery date is 6 weeks in the future

ATP should check --> Look at incoming STO

Requested Delivery Date varation 3: When requested delivery date is more than 6 weeks in the future

ATP should check -->  Look at only RLT

Here my for RDD variation 1 i can consider all stocks and Incoming STOs/ in transit orders in Scope of Check of Check Control.

But how to change the setting when the RDD is more than 2 weeks and <6 weeks or >6 weeks.

Your suggestions are highly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,

Bala B.

Hello Bala,


I think this can be achieved.

Basically before the ATP check, you need to adjust the Scope of check to consider the right ATP category elements based on your RDD dates. /SAPAPO/ATP_Y_SCOPE is the Function module where system determines the scope of check parameters. Towards the end of the FM, you may plan to create an implicit enhancement to take a decision accordingly. Of course, the RDD data is available in CHKREQ tables one step above in the parent FM call.

Hope this helps.

Hi Bala,

Logically thinking, why would you restrict your check that way. This might even impact business. Assume you have stock of 10000

Now in this case you have demand of 2000 which means it would confirm and is OK.


  Requested Delivery Date  variation 1 :  When the requested delivery date is in the next week

ATP should check -->  Look at on hand stock + in transit stock

In this case now you have demand of 10000 which means you will not confirm against stock but against STO which logically will delay your shipment depending upon when is in-transit supply available.

So question is; is business willing to except this? Of course we can argue that if demand is more then this is not valid but then risk of delaying the order is high.


Requested Delivery Date variation 2: When requested delivery date is 6 weeks in the future

ATP should check --> Look at incoming STO

You should rather think how you should do your ATP by sorting them on the basis of delivery date. If requested delivery date is in first week that order should be the one consuming stock and then in-transit. Then orders for next 6 weeks should consider stock (if any left) and in-transit.

Though check EXIT_/SAPAPO/SAPLBOP_SORT_020 & EXIT_/SAPAPO/SAPLBOP_FILT_010.

Hi Rahul, Hi Babu,

Thank you for the suggestions. Will look into the feasibility of the options and enhancements.

Also it is not for BOP check. when the sales order is eneterd for the1st time for ATP check then the system should behave as per given scenarios.

In the client scenario it is similar to make to order. When a order with big quantity comes they have to get govt approvals. So, they looking for RLT based on the Req. date.

Thanks & Regards,
