Confirmed quantity in sales order

[rajesh_sutar2]

Hi Experts,

Can anyone clear my doubt.

1.What is different between confirmed quantity & ATP quantity in sales order.

2.How system calculate this confirmed quantity & date.

I have one FG for that I have maintained routing. In routing there is only one operation. I have maintioned base quantity 100 unit for that operation & operation time is 5 DAYS. I have not maintained in house production time. Stock of FG material is zero.

I created one sales order for quantity 200 on date 12.12.2009 & Delivery date is 15.12.2009. When I saw in procurement tab that confirmed qty is 200 & date is 15.12.2009.

As per my consideration system should not confirmed qty of 200 on 15.12.2009.

Please correct me where I wrong.

Hi Raja,

In yoru case the sales order is confirming the quantity after ATP check. In ATP check, system confirms the quantity if you have stock in system or you have maintained inhouse production time or Replenishment lead time or GR processing time in material master. As you have not maintained inhouse production time, please check if you have maintained GR processing time or replenishment lead time in material master or if you have stock. So system will give you corresponding dates if any of these are maintaied in system.

hope this clarifies your doubt,

Raja,

Confirmed quantity is the portion of the total requirement of the sales order item schedule that has already been confirmed by your sales order ATP check.

ATP quantity is the amount of material that the system shows as uncommitted to other requirements according to the ATP rules for that material/plant location, and is available for an ATP check.

Setting the routing has little effect on ATP for a sales order. System will generally look for uncommitted supply elements (stock, production orders, purchase orders, etc) and will confirm against these elements. You can review all supply and demand elements in MD04.

If your ATP check also considers lead time, (I believe that yours does so) then the ATP check may also confirm the sales order based on either Total Replenishment Lead time in the material master. If this field is not populated, then it uses other criteria to calculate the lead time passed to the ATP check (read the F1 help on Total replenishment lead time)..

In your case, I believe

a. you have no supply elements

b. your ATP check respects Replenishment Lead time

c. since your inhouse production time is zero, your order confirms to 'now'.

Routing only has an impact on Production orders. Once a production order is created, then it can have an impact on the Sales order ATP, since it then is considered to be a supply element..

You can simulate a sales order ATP check by executing transaction CO09. Checking rule for sales docs is usually 'A' for MTS materials. If your ATP check is configured for cumulation (it usually is) then also check the 'with requirements qty' checkbox. It will show you which elements are being considered for the ATP check. If you click the Scope of check button, it will also tell you the definition of your ATP check, and what items are being used (and if Replenishment Lead Time is being considered)
