Backorder Processing (Sales Scheduling Agreements)
Use
You can check the availability of requirements from sales scheduling agreement items not only by using the feasibility check, but also by using the
Global ATP Check
(check method product availability check).
If necessary, the system can also generate partial confirmations during backorder processing in the background.
In comparison, in the feasibility check the requested quantities can either be completely confirmed (full confirmation), or not confirmed (
feasibility not ok
).
In interactive backorder processing, you can redistribute confirmed quantities across selected requirements.
In the confirmation profile, which you assign to sales scheduling agreement items, you can define the conditions under which a confirmation is full (compliant) or partial (deviating). Using the
determination type
you can define whether requested quantities have to be confirmed to the second, to the hour or to the day, in order for the system to issue a full confirmation.
The determination type that you have set in the confirmation profile determines whether you have fully or partially confirmed the requested quantities in backorder processing. The result of the check (
Partial
or
Full Confirmation
) is displayed as the
Current Status
of the sales scheduling agreement item.
Prerequisites
Make the necessary settings in Customizing for the
Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP Check)
under
Product Availability Check
You can use the Customer Exit APOBO010 to exclude sales scheduling agreement items with the current status
Admissibility not ok
from backorder processing, for example.
For more information on backorder processing, see theSAPLibrary for the
Global Available-to-Promise Check (Global ATP)
under
Backorder Processing
If necessary make corresponding settings in Customizing for
Supply Chain Planning
under
Delivery Schedule Processing for the Sales Scheduling Agreement
in the confirmation profile (see
Prerequisites for the Sales Scheduling Agreement
).

A list appears, displaying requested quantities, the old confirmation, the new confirmation and quantity and date changes that have occurred between requested quantities and dates and the confirmed quantities and dates (for example
Qty Status: Partial Confirmation).
Your customer needs 100 PC per day on five days in a row.
The result of the availability check tells you that you can only meet the requirements for the first four days.
On the last date the system can only confirm 80 PC, so the customer only receives a partial confirmation.
