Configuring the ATP Check in SAP APO (SAP Library - Special Processes in Logistics)

Configuring the ATP Check in SAP APO

Use

You can transfer Customizing data from a central R/3 system (such as the sales system) using the APO Core Interface, or you can create the data manually in SAP APO.

This section describes the settings required for the ATP check in SAP APO. You maintain the check after the Customizing and master data have been transferred from the sales system to the SAP APO system. SAP recommends using a separate integration model to transfer the Customizing data.

Prerequisites

You have permitted the import of Customizing data in SAP APO. You make this setting in Customizing for Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO) under Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP Check) ® General Settings ® Maintain Global Settings for Availability Check.

In the sales system you have created an integration model with the indicator ATP Customizing. From the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Logistics ® Central Functions ® Supply Chain Planning Interface ® Core Interface Advanced Planner and Optimizer ® Integration Model ® Generate ® Create.

Procedure

Check the business events. You make this setting in Customizing for Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO) under Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP Check) ® General Settings ® Maintain Business Event.

Example:

The checking rule from SAP R/3 is mapped in SAP APO as a business event. The following business events are present after the Customizing data has been transferred to SAP APO:

A (SD order)

B (SD delivery)

Check the check mode. You make this setting in Customizing for Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO) under Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP Check) ® General Settings ® Maintain Check Mode.

Example:

The requirements class ZBK (copy of 041) Order/delivery reqmt should be transferred using CIF as a check mode to SAP APO.

Note

Check whether the check mode has been entered in the SAP APO product master (ATP tab page). This should have been entered because of

SAP R/3 applications (such as Production Planning (PP)) that do not transfer a requirements class.
Substitutions made from the rule-based ATP check whose check mode is read from the SAP APO product master.

From the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Master Data ® Product. Enter a product and the corresponding location. Choose the ATP tab page.

Enter the check instructions. In Customizing for Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO) choose Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP Check) ® General Settings ® Maintain Check Instructions.

Example: Check instructions

Check mode	Bus. event	ProdCheck	Rule-based ATP: Active	Production
ZBK	A	Product availability check. No product allocation. No planning	Yes	No, only availability check
ZBK	B	Product availability check. No product allocation. No planning	No	No, only availability check

Check the ATP group and enter any missing detail data. In Customizing for Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO) choose Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP Check) ® Product Availability Check ® Maintain ATP Group.

Example:

Checking group 02 is mapped as an ATP group after the Customizing settings have been transferred in SAP APO. Check whether the ATP group has been entered in the SAP APO product master (ATP tab page).

Specify the scope of the check. In Customizing for Advanced Planner and Optimizer (APO) choose Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP Check) ® Product Availability Check ® Maintain Check Control.

Example: Scope of check

ATP group	Bus. event	Category
02	A	...BF; BM, BR...
02	B	...BF; BM, BR...
