BOP selects products without an active ATP CIF integration model ?

[thomas_schulze2]

Hello experts,

while setting up a GATP BOP Process I'm realizing that BOP is not automatically restricting the products from the loaction to which have an active ATP CIF model.

Example:

Location: 1000

Products: A, B, C

Product A is in APO for DP and SNP reasons and there is no ATP CIF model for A-1000 combination. Products B and C have been setup only for GATP reasons (but not for DP and SNP). If I run the BOP for entire location 1000 (product fiter = empty) it is picking all 3 products including product A and is rescheduling Sales orders for product A in location 1000 - although there is no GATP CIF model active.

Is this standard behaviour or do I miss anything here ? (I assumed that APO would never take a product into a BOP Filter which does not have an active and standing GATP integration model towards the ECC system.)

Regards

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Thats normal BOP behaviour. The BOP selects all requirements for location 1000 from the Livecache. There is NO check if a ATP IMO exist for a certain product. If a requirement in Livecache fits the filter criterias it will be selected. But you can easitly exclude the product via the BOP filter variant. Just change your BOP filter variant and set the product on exclude.

Hope this helps.

best regards,

Michael

Hello Michael,

that explains the observed behaviour. Means for us to use the Customer-Exit APOBO010 to filter BOP selection via customer specific criteria.

Hi Thomas,

In CIF module maintain globally like Plant and Material - " * " but BOP variant maintain specific plant and maeterial which are applicable / subjected to BOP.

Hi Thomas,

SAP documentation as in below URL

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm70/helpdata/en/9c/066f3928025a6ee10000000a114084/frameset.htm

states for filtering criteria in its pre-requisite . It appears that it only looks for materials filtered in BOP (i.e it does not look for materials meant for ATP check in its CIF).

However, let us wait for comments from experts.

With regards,
