ATP for Order Create vs Order Release

492 Views

In SAP there is an option for different ATP checks when creating a production order and when releasing a production order. I'm not sure I understand the behavior we are seeing in our system. Could be I have a fundamental misunderstanding of the functionality.

In our configuration, ATP for production order create takes into consideration open purchase orders. ATP for order release does not. When I go into CO06/CO09 using the checking rule for order create, I see the commitments which include the open purchase order quantities. When I go in using the checking rule for order release, my expectation is that the commitments for the purchase order quantities will not be there. Nonetheless, those commitments appear. I'm receiving missing parts when I'm trying to release a production order even though there is sufficient material not committed to released production orders.

I hope that makes sense. Any guidance would be appreciated.
