Batch Backorder Processing

Use

In batch backorder processing, items are selected according to specific key fields (using filters)
and brought into a processing sequence for the availability check (by means of the sort). The
previously confirmed quantities are rejected and an ATP check is carried out for all selected
items in the defined sequence. Here you can change confirmed quantities and dates/times. The
results are always held in a buffer. Depending on the execution mode, the results can be
updated afterwards, processed, or rejected later.

Integration

 Batch backorder processing corresponds essentially to rescheduling in the ERP system,

though with the following enhanced features:

o The filter can be configured.

o The sort can be configured.

o Scheduling can be configured.

o Batch backorder processing can be combined with interactive backorder

processing.

Note

Backorder processing is not supported in combination with Capable-to-Promise.

 For more information about rescheduling in the ERP system, see SAP Library for SAP
ERP Central Component under  Logistics - Sales and Distribution (SD)  Availability
and Requirements in Sales and Distribution Processing (SD-BF-AC)  Availability
Check in Sales and Distribution Processing  Rescheduling of Sales Documents .

 Batch backorder processing can be included in a call sequence between Production

Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) or Supply Network Planning (SNP) and
interactive backorder processing.

o Planning File Entry

 When a change occurs in the supply situation due to a change or a planning run
in PP/DS, SNP, or in changes to the location-specific product master data for
ATP, the location product for backorder processing (batch/interactive) is selected.

For more information, see also Planning File Entry.

o Alerts Evaluation (ATP Alerts)

To start batch backorder processing, you can also evaluate the alerts. The alerts
evaluation is an alternative for the filter, which selects the orders for batch
backorder processing.

Interactive backorder processing can be called directly from the Alert Monitor to
help cancel alerts.

Note

If the backorder processing worklist is generated using the alert filter, the system
does not evaluate PP/DS alerts. No sales orders (or their items) are found that
are affected by the PP/DS alerts.

o Backorder processing is used in the Transportation Planning/Vehicle Scheduling

(TP/VS) component to transfer data changed in Transportation Planning back to
the ERP system. The prerequisite for this is that Transportation Planning is based
on the requested quantity and the requested date. For more information,
see Transportation Management.
