Batch selection on characteristic based ATP check in GATP

[vishalrameshrao_astekar]

Hi All,

I have a requirement at one of my customers as they plan to implement the GATP solution at their end.

They want to have the GATP carry out the ATP based on "Freshness Level" characteristic value (freshness level as in the batch that was produced most recently would be the freshest and will have the characteristic created for FRESHNESS = Value A and so on) and then have the GATP propose / select the correct batch that corresponds to this criteria and pass this batch into the SO or Delivery (yet to be decided if at SO or delivery)

We have already configured a demo / build case for the same and the characteristic based GATP check works fine but I have the following questions on the same

1. Which FM / User exit can we use to send the Freshness characteristics from ECC to GATP when the sales order is entered (initially there would be no batch and the characteristics would be retrieved from a Z table based on certain criteria)

2. Can the GATP propose / select the correct batch at APO side after the characetristic based ATP check?

- If YES (for the above, then how can we enforce that batch into the SO / Delivery?

does the system assigns the batch from GATP as it is or we need to write a custom

code? (which user exit if yes)

- If NO, then how can we have the correct batch determined in the SO / delivery

based on the characteristic that GATP sends back to the ECC

Tried searching for this info in existing threads but no luck.

Thanks,

Hi Experts,

I believe I made my questions clear. Kindly let me know if you require further details.

Hello,

Please see my comments.

1). Based on CB-ATP functionality, system will check available inventory based on characteristic that was added in APO config. "Maintain characteristic view" in APO.

You said that characteristic ATP is working fine in your demo. What are you trying to accomplish by looking for FM, Z table etc.?

2). GATP will not propose any batch during sales order creation. But CB-ATP look for available batches based on selected characteristic during sales order creation. If any batches are available with inventory for selected characteristic, then only sales order will be committed. Otherwise sales order will be a backorder.

As per standard, system will not assign batch for item in sales order after CB-ATP check. But batch will determine during delivery creation.

if you want to check whether system is determining correct batch or not during delivery creation, create different batches with different characteristic values. For example: Batch1 with A, Batch2 with B, batch3 with C.

Then select characteristic value "C" during sales order creation. So batch3 should be determined during delivery creation. This way you can show to client that system is allocating accurate batch in delivery after CB-ATP check. Let me know if you need more details.
