Backorder Processing (BOP) – the Basics
When is an order a backorder? When a schedule line doesn’t have a confirmed quantity
What should a backorder processing solution do? Simulate results Lend visibility to the situation Run in a reasonable amount of time Allow selection of orders based on business requirements Allocate product in a prioritized way Allow results to be sorted in a meaningful way
Note that both solutions — R/3 and SAP APO — can satisfy all these items, to some extent

Prerequisites
ATP check for orders in question must be set to take place in APO
R/3, mySAP ERP, or SAP CRM as an order management system
What does that mean?!
Typically, in the setup of Global Available-to-Promise (gATP), you specify (once) in the SAP APO Core Interface (CIF) that you want your ATP customizing settings transferred from R/3 (or mySAP ERP) to SAP APO
Then, in another integration model of the CIF, you must have selected the ATP check switch for the materials you have specified in that integration model

Key Capabilities

Support for Product Allocations
SAP AG 2005, 14
Batch Backorder Processing
2 modes:
Direct update of batch backorder processing
BOP runs and immediately updates the results to the database without an intermediate step
Batch backorder processing with postprocessing
BOP runs, saves the results to a buffer, and protects the assigned quantities with temporary quantity assignments
The results can be updated or rejected. If rejected, the temporary quantity assignments are deleted
SAP AG 2005, 15
Interactive Backorder Processing
Similar to batch backorder processing with postprocessing, except for the addition of a pre-configured worklist
It can be accessed directly from the menu structure within SAP APO, or used as a postprocessing function of Batch backorder processing
Filters and sorts are available to both operating modes
SAP AG 2005, 16
Interactive Backorder Processing – With a Worklist
SAP AG 2005, 17
Interactive Backorder Processing – Without a Worklist
SAP AG 2005, 18
Simulative Backorder Processing
No temporary quantity assignments are written to liveCache
No orders are updated in R/3
The results can be viewed in a log but cannot be updated interactively
The results can be saved in the buffer or deleted

Product Allocations and Backorder Processing
As of SAP SCM release 4.1 (currently in Phase II Ramp-Up), product allocations may be checked as part of backorder processing
In prior releases, product allocations are neither checked nor updated
Also as part of release 4.1, if product allocations are checked by BOP, a new icon will display on the results screen telling you that this occurred

Comparison
APO Redistribution flag
Redistribution for each basic method
Filter has 28 fields plus userexit
Sorter has 25 fields plus userexit
Able to confirm new results with old prior to database commit
R/3 and mySAP ERP No redistribution flag – releases
all orders’ assigned quantities, then rechecks them if they didn’t have a check before
No redistribution
Fixed filter with <10 fields
Fixed sorter
Changes are committed to database with no comparison
SAP AG 2005, 28
Comparison (cont.)
APO
Schedule line check available for all documents
Date configuration – material availability or goods Issue
Possible to preserve the lesser quantity that has been agreed upon without giving more
Possible to improve and not degrade confirmations
R/3 and mySAP ERP
Schedule line checks for stock transport orders only
Date configuration – No option (material availability date is used)
R/3 and mySAP ERP do not differentiate between confirmed quantity and requested quantity
No opportunity to preserve what was done previously

The Highlights
R/3 and mySAP ERP have limited sort and filter fields With no user exits available to expand the selection
R/3 and mySAP ERP are not as flexible as mySAP SCM Dates aren’t configurable Operating modes are selectable Schedule line checks are limited to one document type
No way to preserve previous check Orders are opened, quantities are released, check is redone
No new development taking place

SCM 4.1 – gATP Developments
Better support for time zones
Usability of ATP Configurable rules-based ATP results screen
Usability of Backorder Processing Enhanced usability Better icons to explain what occurred Correct and reject individual orders Improved links from the results display
Product Allocations Link to TP/VS added in 4.0
SAP AG 2005, 33
... It’s HUGE!(my boss said I should keep saying that, to get everyone ready for it)
But SCM 5.0 Is Coming, and …
SAP AG 2005, 34
gATP Highlights in SCM 5.0
Temporary facility closure A hurricane just hit my Florida distribution center
Alternate locations to use when a primary facility is closed Ship out of Texas and Georgia instead
Maximum numbers of substitutions in RBA Locations and location products, not products
Consolidation I’d like to take all these orders sourced from different
locations and consolidate them at this single location before I ship them to the customer
Drop ships/Third party I’d like the vendor to deliver this to the customer
SAP AG 2005, 35
gATP Highlights in SCM 5.0 – More!
RBA in Stock Transport Orders (not location, just product substitution) The product you requested is not available,
substitute another
Reassignment of order confirmations I’d like to borrow from Peter to pay Paul, automatically,
not manually, based on criteria that I specify
Event-driven backorder processing I’ve just gotten stock in and I want to allocate it to a
group of high-priority orders that are waiting for it
This is not a complete list
SAP AG 2005, 36
Event-Driven Backorder Processing?!
Uses something new called the Order Due List, which is also used by reassignment of order confirmations
Uses Workflow
Allows an event, like a stock receipt or a return order, to trigger a run of BOP against the Order Due List
The Order Due List will contain your highest priority, unconfirmed orders
Brilliant!
SAP AG 2005, 37
How to Decide?
If R/3 or mySAP ERP’s ATP functionality just isn’t enough of a solution anymore, consider the APO gATP solution in mySAP SCM. However, don’t wait for SCM 5.0! (Remember, it’s HUGE)
Prioritize what you need and figure out what release it’s in SCM release notes are posted on http://help.sap.com/
How many APO releases back are you? If you’re on APO 3.0 or 3.1, consider upgrading now to at least
4.0, if not 4.1 Why? Chances are there’s a lot in 5.0 that you’ll want to roll-out,
and it’ll be a smaller bite if you’re not tackling all the interim releases before you can get to 5.0
Also, 4.0 and 4.1 are smaller releases from a gATP perspective (Remember, 5.0 is HUGE)

Let’s look at them both now – SAP APO vs. R/3
The gaps – Where R/3 falls short
What’s new in Global Available-to-Promise and coming up soon
Key takeaways
SAP AG 2005, 39
Key Takeaways
The BOP program you use is dependent on the system in which your ATP check takes place
APO’s Backorder Processing has more Sort and Filter options than R/3 or mySAP ERP, with user exits to add even more fields
APO’s BOP is scalable – no need to do a full run every time
With any BOP solution, force it to do what you really need it to do. Use variants, etc., to tailor your BOP runs
If R/3’s ATP solution just isn’t a solution for you, and you’ve already got all or part of mySAP SCM in place (i.e. APO DP), consider implementing gATP and attaining the benefit of the BOP program, among other things
Never assume that the product as it is today is the product that you’ll be using tomorrow. New enhancements and opportunities are always right around the corner
It is possible to implement BOP without an ATP check in the order, and there are successful implementations that have done it!
