With interactive backorder processing you can manually redistribute confirmed quantities of one or more products specifically over a quantity of selected requirements. You can call the function directly or set it as a postprocessing function of batch backorder processing.

You entered the business event for backorder processing in the location master.

The aim of interactive backorder processing is to manually assign a confirmed quantity to requirements schedule lines. Dates of schedule lines can be changed, deleted or created. Processing occurs at schedule line level. You can manually assign confirmed quantities to fixed schedule lines and requirements.

You change the confirmed quantities per schedule line. If you select Enter, a product availability check is carried out automatically to determine the newly cumulated ATP quantity when you enter the confirmed quantity. The other basic methods are treated as "neutral results".

The changes that you make can be rejected again. The update is only carried out when you save the changes.

In interactive backorder processing, it is possible with the corresponding authorization (role: ATP controller) to assign confirmed quantities, even if the cumulated ATP quantity is not sufficient. You thereby generate a negative ATP quantity and override the results of the availability check. You should only set this overriding function for the short-term removal of a bottleneck in the logistics chain. The processor with the role of ATP controller must be able to guarantee the procurement of a covering receipt.

From the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Global ATP ® Backorder Processing ® Interactive Backorder Processing. For access you should enter

• Location product
• Business event
• Account assignment object (optional)

Alternatively you can access interactive backorder processing via a pre-defined worklist (tab page Worklist) The compilation of the worklist to execute interactive backorder processing is, as with batch backorder processing, order oriented, the difference being that the selected orders are displayed first in a list when executing. You can select the orders here and branch to interactive backorder processing.

From the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Production Planning ® Interactive Production Planning ® Product View ® ATP (tab).

• The business event for backorder processing is determined from the location master. This also applies to preassignment when you first access interactive backorder processing and when you access the product availability overview.
• Access via the product view is always gained via the active planning version (000).

You can branch from the selection list to interactive backorder processing. Several orders in this list can be transferred again to batch backorder processing for redistribution.
