Backorders Error

[#1]

Dears SAPers,

We need to use backorder processing but it is not working.

We don’t use availability check in the orders (we activated it in the deliveries), so, always when we created a sales order the system confirmed the quantity independently the ATPs. So, the real stock is reserve for that order. If we don’t have stock in the order we don’t realize, the system confirm the quantity always.

The problem is when we need to deliver an order that don’t have “real” stock reserved. In this case, we should be able to use backorder and change ATP quantities from one order to another.

We go to transaction V_RA. We select the material. Then we select the order and go to "backorders", but when we select "change confirmation" the system display the following message: "Please select a line that can be changed".

¿Why we can’t change the confirmation quantities?

¿It is OK to have the all the orders confirmed and want to use backorder?

Please, help us.

We will reward.

Backorder Processing

Backorder processing is a functionality in SAP where you can change the committments and over-ride the blockage of stocks

marked against sales documents/deliveries. For e.g. you receive an order from a very important customer for material "A" but

the entire quantity of A is committed to another customer "B" via earlier sales orders and this is where BACKORDER processing helps you to change the committment and shift stock due for B to A. This is the benefit of this funtionality.

OMIH - Checking rule for updating backorders

OPJL - Define new checking rule

OPJJ - Define scope of check

V_RA - Backorder Processing

Data selection:-

Sold-to-party Customer code Mandatory

Sales Organization Mandatory

Distribution Channel Mandatory

Division Mandatory

Changed confirmed quantity :-

Tick the material you want to changed and click the Backorder button

Confirmed quantity that still can be changed are highlighted.

V.15 - Backorder List

Sales Organization Mandatory

Distribution Channel Mandatory

Division Mandatory

To work on Backorder processing,

TOR and Availability check should be fine tuned.

after that ,

1) Create sales order for which for material - X ( say the stock of mat- X = 100ea) for the order of 70 ea, based on the RDD , del date wil confirm and save

now

2)create a sales order for high priority customer for the same mat-X with qtty 50 ea, here u wont have enough stock to deliver on time of customer's RDD.

so u ll get multiple schedule lines.and save it.

Now u want to confirm and deliver the whole ordered qtty for high priority customer,by using backorder processing u can re-allocate the mat-X from ur previous sales order to the 2nd sales order.

CO06,enter Material , plant , cheking rule , choose continue

here u ll observe the above 2 sales orders,

select first sales order, and reduce the qtty ,which u req'd( here 20 qtty) ,continue and save it.

no goto VA02, enter 2 nd sales order num, chek the confirmed del date in item-schedulelines,

all the ordererd qtty will be confirmed on customer's RDD , complete delivery.

system allocates remaining qtty which we reduced the 1st customer's order qtty will be allocated to high priority customer.

Reward if useful to u
