Hello,
Does anyone has any experience in changing the confirmed date on a sales item i.e. overrule the confirmed date that was set by a “normal” ATP check or BOP run?
In a “normal” ATP scenario, the confirmed dates and quantities of a sales order item are "in line" with the availability dates of supply elements i.e. stock, production order, planned orders,…
In some cases, the business wants to manually set the confirmed date on a sales item, not taking into account if there are any supply elements available or when these supply elements become available.
E.g.:
- after the BOP run, the sales order item is confirmed very late ==> our business wants to "overrule" this by manually change the date to an earlier date because the "know" they will be able to do it
To achieve this, we would use transaction /SAPAPO/EBOPI:
- We change the confirmed dates item per item
- We set the “fixed date and quantity” to avoid that with every subsequent ATP check or BOP run, the manually set confirmed dates are back overwritten with the “realistic” confirmed dates
Issue/GAP:
By manually setting the confirmed dates, we create negative ATP.
To avoid negative ATP and to have an overview of “what should be produced fast because of manually set confirmed dates”, we would like to create PP/DS planned orders every time a confirmed date is manually set via /SAPAPO/EBOPI, and peg the planned order to the sales order item for which the confirmed date was set.
Question
Would there be user exits available that are called after setting the dates in /SAPAPO/EBOPI?
Instead of using EBOPI, would there be alternative standard solutions we could try to use?
Thanks for any advice.
Kind Regards,
Alexander
