Backorder Processing (BOP) - Unconfirmed quantities required

0 Kudos

Dear user community,

Here I am again with a question concerning the Backorder processing tool available in S/4 HANA Cloud.

I have been playing around with different fields available in the BOP segment tool; I even checked the catalog to see which extra fields are available to add.

Unfortunattely, I did not find a way to deal with my request: Scheduling backorder processing, but leave out items already fully confirmed. We want to prevent re-confirmation. 

Thank you for your help. It seems a standard business requirement, so I cannot believe it is not available in S/4HC 🙂 

I will create a change request when the answer to my question here is negative. 

In ECC we are able to leave already confirmed items out of the scope by selecting below field:

Hi Sarah,

when an ATP check is triggered for a requirement the ATP considers the actual supply and demand situation depending on the ATP checking group set in material master and related scope of check.

This means when there is a confirmation e. g. a full confirmation as you mention, this full confirmation is re-confirmed when triggering again an ATP check, unless there is a change in supply. If supply situation worsen and not all confirmations can be sticked to during a recheck this is actually correct.

The set up of a BOP Variant should reflect the business strategy on how to confirm orders overall. As a consequence all requirements should actually take part on the BOP run to have the business strategy applied.

A line item can be excluded from BOP by defining the filter accordingly or by setting 'Fixed Date and Qty' flag in Schedule Lines tab on sales order item detail screen. Setting the flag also prevents an improvement of the confirmation for that line item.

What is acutally the reason why you would like to exclude a confirmed requirement?

Regards,

Andreas
