SAP SD Backorder Processing

[former_member702923]

Hi SAP,

I have been trying to look for steps-by-steps screenshots of SAP SD Backorder Processing. So far, the best I can find is the answer from https://answers.sap.com/questions/2888023/backorder-processing.html

However, there is no screenshot shown. Any idea where can I refer? I am new to SAP SD. Would be really helpful if there is available.

Thanks!

First of all, if you are new to SD, then, I don't recommend you to straight away to look for Back Order Processing and of course, you also don't find any such step by step screen shots anywhere. Are you comfortable with other basic SD process like how a sale order is created and what are all the pre-requisites to create and save a sale order?

Take one step back and understand

• what do you mean by Sales Area,
• what do you mean by partner functions
• which field in Customer master and Material master integrate SD / FI during sale order and billing creation etc.,

Once you are comfortable with these, then, you need to understand the basics of ATP and its functionality. Only then, Backorder processing will come into picture

Needless to mention, without knowing the above steps, you can try with the link you shared where the related tcodes are listed out.

In such cases it is a good idea to look for YouTube videos. 🙂

I searched for sap backorder processing and the first result is quite good in my opinion: SAP Backorder Processing

I do not know how you looked for documentation, but here is a nice blog on the topic with screenshots: SAP: Exploring SAP Backorder Processing in SD (Part 1) and SAP: Exploring Backorders (Part 2) – Rescheduling.

Hi Veselina,

Thanks for the information!

Btw, is there any process flow available so far for this?

I googled, there are many from Supply Chain Mgmt... not really for SD..

Appreciate your help on this.

Thanks and Regards,

what do you mean by process flow?

I am confused which part of this process is still unclear - you have orders, for which you do not have the fully confirmed quantity for the requested delivery date, so you perform the mentioned tasks to confirm or redistribute the quantities. These tasks are usually added to the list of daily activities for the person or persons responsible.
