Block available in the future, Sales Order ATP not confirming

[andy_yeri]

Hi Experts,

We use Block Planning with CDP/CTP Process & products are set up for immediate planning on the Product Masters. Following situation, Sales Order is not returning a confirmation date. This should be achieved using std SAP's process. Let me know if you've faced this issue before -

Sales Order Requirement date = 02/15/2012

Block Availability date = 02/19/2012

ATP Result - no confirmation to Sales Order

Since Block (with matching characteristics) is available on 02/19/2012 & we've a strategy profile with Scheduling Strategy saying BACKWARD + REVERSE (Forward), system should have looked @ the Block on 02/19/2012 & returned a confirmation date of say 02/20/2012.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi Andy,

This question can not be answered without further information. Please let us know the settings of the check instructions.

Depending on which methods are involved you will have different results. Have you checked note 426563 - CTP: Settings, system behavior and performance (docu) ?

Which check instructions are used for the components ?

Try and create a planned order on the header product directly in /SAPAPO/RRP3 - this is always a good test to check the system settings.

best regards,

Michael
