Direct Update of Batch Backorder Processing 

Purpose

You run batch backorder processing. The results are updated immediately.

Prerequisites

You made the settings for backorder processing.

Process

  1. You carry out batch backorder processing to redistribute previously-confirmed quantities for the order items of backorders according to a list of priorities (see Execution of Batch Backorder Processing).
  2. As long as the update in the connected OLTP system is not yet completed, the assigned quantities are protected in APO as temporary quantity assignments
  3. The changes are updated in the R/3 System.
  4. The update is confirmed to APO.
  5. You can delete the results in the buffer. These are only used as a log.
  6. If you have to define unforeseen short-term sales priorities, use interactive backorder processing (see Execution of Interactive Backorder Processing).

The following graphic shows the procedure for batch backorder processing with direct update.
