ATP in Sales Order with PO in the future

[hitaloc1971]

Hi Gurus,

I have this scenario

Stock           09.03.2016     100 pc

Sales Order 09.03.2016     150 pc

PO               12.03.2016     100 pc

why the ATP in the sales order is confirming 150 pieces when we have not received the PO?

Thans for your Help

Italo,

You didn't give us much information.

Anyhow, if the sales order is actually confirming for a confirmed material availability date of March 9, then the PO is irrelevant.  SO is probably confirming based on lead time.

Thank you DougBoy

The scenario is as follows, we have a stock of 4988 pc in my plant.

The ATP Cum Qty is 227 pc, this ATP Cum Qty considers a PO with 4 pc with reception date 03/14/2016.

If I create a SO with required delivery date 03/12/2016 with 300 pc  the ATP confirms 227 on 03/12/2016 (it also confirms 73 pc on April 26th because of the 37 lead time days)  .

As we e  a 2 days transit time the Material availability date is 03/10/2016. It is considering the 4 pieces that I must receive on March 14th.

We think we should confirm only 223 on March 12, then 4 pc on March 16 and the rest on April 26.

How can we achieve this?

Thanks for your kind help

Italo,

I am not sure why you would think this. 

I didn't actually do the math, but your CO09 tells the tale.  There is enough supply (stock plus PO) in place to confirm and ship a brand new order of 227 pc today, plus also ship all the other existing confirmed sales requirements 'on time'.

Why would you want to wait until March 16 to ship the 4 pc against a new 227pc order if you don't need to?

Thanks DogBoy49, so you say I can serve the 227 pcs because of the CUM ATP Qty?

Italo,

Yes.

By the way, if you type the full word 'Cumulative', instead of the three letters that are actually displayed in the SAP column header, then this juvenile SCN software will not replace your letters with asterisks.
