Global Available-to-Promise (SCM-APO-ATP)

A third-party order processing document.

The planned purchase order serves to delay the creation of the purchase order until the latest possible date/time. Providing the planned purchase order has not been converted into a purchase order, the following are possible:

• The sales order can be modified.
• Third-party items are considered by backorder processing.

In contrast to a purchase requisition, a planned purchase order is always converted into a purchase order.
