PO and GATP

[Former Member]

Hi Expert,

I am facing the following issue with PO and GATP.

If PO receiving Date and the MBdat is on the same day ( ex: MAD= PO=12/24/2012), the PO is considering for SO confirmation.

And the stock at that point of time is ZERO. Also the settings are maintained for considering the PO for SO confirmation.

But if the PO date is on 12/23/2012 and MBdat is on 12/24/2012 is not considering.

Is it the issue with “Past receipts not considered” (Scope Of check)?

Also “Past receipts” means what? Is it from current date to past for Mbdate to Past?

Awaiting the response.

Thanks

Hi Rajendran,

There is not much clarity in your example;

When you say PO recieving date, are you referring to availability date of PO, and with MBDAT are you referring to MAD of SO.

It will be great if you can clearly explain your scenario for ease of understanding, also few snapshots would be helpfull.

Sourabh,

PO reciving date means the inbound delivery will be created for against the PO and converted to Stock.

Mbdat means MAD of SO.

Hi Rejish,

That is true, if you want the PO (which is in past) to be considered as a receipt element; you have to check the setting "Consider the Past receipts" in the ATP group-Check Control setting.

Let us know if you're still facing the issue.

Thank you

Hi Rajendran,

If this is the case then your doubt of considering past receipt should solve this issue.

Also regarding your doubt on what does Past receipt means, refer the comment from SAP help.

Choose the corresponding entry in the Past rcpts field, if past receipts should be taken into account in the product availability check.

The Past rcpts indicator controls whether past receipts (referring to the time of the check) can be used to confirm a requirement.

So ideally it should be based on required delivery date of sales order.

Hope this solve your issue.

Thanks for the reply Sourabh.

But I got one more doubt here. You have mentioned that it will " Past recpts" is based on RDD, then PO on a MAD date wont consider for SO confirmation. This is also Past recpt ?

Thanks Babu.

Please clarify one more thing in this. If I am telling a Past recpt , is it from current date or MAD or RDD ?

Tks,

Hi Rejish,

The availability date of a PO document is completely dependent on the GR processing end time. It is the same date / time stamp at which it is being shown as available in the //AC03 or CO09 transaction. And, all the Sales document would refer to this particular date for achieving the confirmation situation.

Thank you

Thanks Babu.

Just quoting an example below:

If PO reciving time(Inbound delivery creation)= 12/27/2012 14:00:00

SO MAD= 12/27/2012 12:00:00

In the above scenario, we will get a confirmation or not, ( assuming NO stock available and only this PO is there )

If PO reciving time( Inbound delivery creation)= 12/27/2012 11:00:00

SO MAD= 12/27/2012 14:00:00

Confirm or not ?

Again My initial question " Past recpt means what ?" For current date to past or from MAD to past ?

I think I am not dragging the things. Please help me on this.

Tks

Hi Rejish,

In the case - 1 explained by you above :- SO may get confirmation depending on the configuration that you have set up. What is the delay ? If the delay is enough to cover the future reciept, system does the forward scheduling and it gets confirmation against the PO document.

In the case - 2 explained by you above :- SO will receives the confirmation against the PO.

Thank you

Babu, Now its almost clear. One more point

IF PO date= 12/26/2012

SO MAD= 12/27/2012

In this situation I will get a confirmation or not ?

Please let me know if I am irritating you,because system is behaving strangly.

Tks,

And also in second scenario the PO is in Past if we calculate from MAD.Then how its getting a confirmation. Please correct if I am wrong.

Tks,

RRajendran Nair

Hi Rejish,

In the above mentioned example, SO should have got the confirmation against PO.

Hey Rajendran,

It clearly mentions in SAP help that past receipt is from the time of the check,

The Past rcpts indicator controls whether past receipts (referring to the time of the check) can be used to confirm a requirement.

What is the worrying point here for you, and what strange behavior you are observing.

Babu,

I am not getting confirmation in this situation. This PO is not considering for SO confirmation.

Getting confirmation only when the PO recving date and MAD is on the same day( not on the pervious day as above)

SNB,

I am not getting confirmation in this situation. This PO is not considering for SO confirmation.

Getting confirmation only when the PO recving date and MAD is on the same day( not on the pervious day as above). This is the behaviour of the sytem.

Hi Rejish,

It looks like you've not selected the option as "Consider Past Reciepts". At the moment, you have selected the setting as "B - Past reciepts not considered". Please change this. Also, I don't see any PO document in the second screenshot. Where can I see it ?
