Process documentationEDQA Event: Backorder Processing

 

Event-driven quantity assignment (EDQA) automatically starts backorder processing if one of the following changes occurs:

  • Changing the purchase order document

  • A quantity release in the sales order

  • Changing the stock data

  • Changing the sales document

  • Changing the refurbishment order

  • Changing the planned order

Prerequisites

  • You have made all the settings for the process category of the backorder processing event in Customizing for EDQA.

    Recommendation Recommendation

    SAP recommends setting up a process start delay for the backorder processing event. The backorder processing started by EDQA selects items from the complete dataset. This selection can have a negative effect on performance. If you set up a process start delay, the system only takes account of the changes up until the process start time after changes have occurred that lead to the process start.
