Back Order Processing

BOP run will be performed by Business Users in Ericsson to trigger Re-ATP for a group of Sales Orders. Re-ATP is required because of following reasons -

1) To confirm unconfirmed order. Sales Order will not get confirmed if it doesn’t pass the product allocation check.

2) Change in the Sales Order date & Qty.

3) Change is the Product allocation qty. limit for components & Families.

4) Rush Order.

Standard BOP doesn’t allow BOP run on Sales Order Number. This has been achieved in Ericsson through custom enhancement.

Custom Transaction Z2BOP has been created & made available for the business Users.
