Function documentationChanging Sales Order Items Relevant for ATP Check

 

If you make changes to a sales order item that are relevant for the availability check (ATP check), the system automatically executes the availability check again.

Features

The system starts the availability check when you perform one of the following activities:

  • You select the item and choose Start of the navigation path More Next navigation step Check Availability End of the navigation path

  • You or the system change availability check-relevant data in the sales order item. This includes:

    • Quantity

      If you change the quantity so that it is now less than the quantity already delivered, the system does not perform the availability check again.

    • Requested Delivery Date

    • Ship-To Party

    • Requirement Rule

    • Incoterms

    • Delivery Priority

    • Sales Organization

    • Vendor (Plant)

    You can make changes in the item until the status for the item is Completed.

There are restrictions in the following cases:

  • If an item has been partially delivered. You can find more information under Availability Check for Partially Delivered Items.

  • If the item is relevant for the rules-based availability check. You can find more information under Rules-Based Availability Check.

  • Under certain conditions you can change items in a sales order in SAP CRM after it has been replicated in SAP ECC.

    However, if you are using SAP APO 3.0A or earlier releases, there are certain restrictions when you are changing items which are relevant for the availability check in SAP APO. These restrictions come into effect if an item relevant for the availability check has been partially or fully delivered. The reason for this is that in SAP APO 3.0A and earlier releases, it is not possible to carry out consumption for goods issues such as deliveries which have already taken place.

    Therefore, you cannot change any fields in the schedule lines for these items. At item level, you can only change those fields which have no influence on functions which take place in SAP APO. This means that if you need to raise the quantity of an item, you will have to create a new item.
