Backorder processing
BOP allows the business to reconfirm the sales order based on certain priority; for example, if you want to fulfill a priority customer-requested date, the supply chain planner can run a BOP job to move the stock from the order that is assigned to another customer and assign it to the priority customer order. BOP can be executed in ECC or APO system based on your system set up. In BOP, you receive a list for a material with all relevant receipts and dispatches for the availability check and the option of processing shortfall quantities.
You have the following processing options in BOP:
- Open requirements can be re-confirmed, for example, if the stock has increased since the last availability check, another receipt has occurred, and so on.
- Quantities that have already been confirmed can be re-distributed by partly or completely reducing quantities allocated to confirmed requirements, and instead assigning them to other more urgent requirements. ...
