You can run the ATP check for planned orders interactively.

Note Note

End of the note.

Prerequisites

To display the information and editing functions for the ATP check in the detail area, use a detail profile assigned to the detail screen ATPCHECK. For more information about the profiles, see Preparatory Measures . You select the detail profile in the User Settings.

You use the component Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP) .

In Customizing for Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) , under Global Settings , then Maintain Global Parameters and Defaults , you have entered the business event PP in the field Result of Planned Order Check on the Execute tab page. The business event PP is provided as standard for checking planned orders.

In Customizing for the Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP Check) , you have created a check mode for checking the availability of components. You do so in the IMG activity Maintain Check Mode .

In Customizing for the Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP Check) under Maintain Check Instructions , you have defined instructions for checking planned orders. You do so by creating an entry for your check mode and assigning the business event PP . You have made the following settings in the remaining fields:

  • Product Check field : First step

  • Prod. Allocation field: No check

  • Forecast field: No check

  • Remain. Reqmnt field: Do not create remaining requirement

  • Start Product. field: Availability check only, no production

  • You can select any entries for the remaining fields, because production is not being triggered and the ATP check is not multi-level.

You specify whether an ATP check should be executed for a component in SAP APO, in the location product master for the component, by entering a check mode, an ATP group, and a check horizon.

In order to run the availability check for components in matrix orders, you must set the Fixing Allowed indicator in Customizing for the Rapid Planning Matrix (RPM) , under Maintain Global Settings .

If you use the single explosion of iPPE , you do not have to set an indicator.

Features

In planned order management , the functions of the ATP check are listed on the ATP Check tab page.

Note Note

Only the product availability check and the check against forecast can be used for the ATP check on planned orders. Other functions of the global availability check, such as the rule-based availability check, are not available.

The ATP group that you have entered in the location product master for the components determines the scope of the check, such as the check against warehouse stock, or the check against planned receipts.

If a planned order has been partially confirmed, no ATP check can be executed.

End of the note.

The ATP status for the planned order is displayed.

Note Note

If a pre-checked ATP order or a pre-checked ATP item is changed, the system changes the ATP status automatically to correspond to the changes. The replacement of a component in a partly or fully confirmed planned order changes the system status to checked and not confirmed .

End of the note.

All components for the planned order are listed in a table. The indicator ATP relevant is set for those components, for which an ATP check is planned.

When you start an ATP check, the system checks the components planned in the SAP APO system, to determine the quantities available. The check results are displayed immediately.

  • The available quantity of a component is displayed as the confirmed quantity.

  • The planned order is not fully confirmed until all the ATP-relevant components are available.

  • Missing components are displayed with the help of the Missing Part Indicator . This enables you to see at a glance whether certain components are missing.

Following an ATP check, every checked component is fixed, to protect the components against a renewed planning run.
