APO GATP Location replacement

Former Member

Hi Gurus,

In APO GATP, location substitution works by first checking the stock in the base location (the location from where the material availability check happens) and if stock is not available in the base location only then it cascades/ substitutes to another location. But, we have a scenario wherein when material availability check happens it should straightaway carry the location substitution without even checking the availability at the base location; the availability check & delivery should only happen from the substituted location; backorder (open quantity) also sits at the substituted location.

Can you please give me the various customizing options to map the above requirement in SAP SCM?

In Check Instructions, use 'Rules Immediately'. See the online help for details.

Hi Bala checked various rules but didnt help - if substitution is successful then backorder option fails and vice versa. Our major challenge is for the open quantity, which has to reside only at the substituted location (and not at the base).

Rishi, tried flagging rules immediately but unfortunately doesn't help.

If my understanding is not correct then can you both please elaborate a bit on the mentioned settings.

Thanks guys!

Hi OZ,

You can restrict substitutions in Rule Control Access Strategy of Substitution lists. There you can avoid Produt substitutions.

In sales order also check the usage field for No Product substitution. If it does not exist then above option can be helpful.

Thanks,

Hi Oz SAP,

When stock available in base location then in my openion Rule control  in Rule maintenace is one option; for how ATP check should be triggered or how location list is searched.

Thanks,

Bala.
