Backorders Error

[Former Member]

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.

Dears SAPers,

I did all what you said but when I choose in the backorder screen the line to change the quantity the system displays a message: "Please, choose a line that can be changed".

¿Why this error happens?. ¿Why I can´t change the quantities?.

We are not using availability check in the sales orders, so that, all the quantities are confirmed, when, there is no real stock in the warehouse. ¿Do we have to use availability check in the sales orders to use backorders?.

Thanks a lot,

I will reward if is helpful

Hi

I also got similar messages when I tried to change quantities. This is what I did -

1)t-code - V_RA

2)give material, plant and any other relevant selection criteria and execute

3)you get a list of all orders in backorder

4)press "select all" (F9)

5)press "backorders"

6)the MRP elements that are highlighted can be changed manually

7)click on any highlighted line - the details are displayed at the bottom of screen

8)change quantity, press OK and save

The may be for teh reason that you are not selecting all orders in step .
