• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/ATP079 - Total confirmed quantities exceed total receipts ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/ATP079 indicates that the total confirmed quantities for a product exceed the total receipts available for that product in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This typically occurs during the Available-to-Promise (ATP) check when there are more confirmed orders than the stock available to fulfill those orders.
  Cause:
  
  Excessive Confirmed Orders: There may be more sales orders or production orders confirmed than the available stock or receipts.
  Incorrect Planning Data: The planning data may not be updated correctly, leading to discrepancies between confirmed quantities and available stock.
  Stock Shortages: There may be a genuine shortage of stock due to unexpected demand or delays in supply.
  Incorrect Receipt Data: The receipts (incoming stock) may not be correctly entered or updated in the system, leading to an inaccurate picture of available inventory.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Confirmed Orders: Check the confirmed orders to see if they can be adjusted or if any orders can be delayed or canceled.
  Update Planning Data: Ensure that the planning data is up-to-date. This includes checking the stock levels, receipts, and any planned production.
  Adjust Receipts: If there are incoming receipts that have not been accounted for, ensure they are correctly entered into the system.
  Check for Stock Transfers: If stock is being transferred from another location, ensure that the transfer is correctly reflected in the system.
  Run ATP Check: After making adjustments, run the ATP check again to see if the issue is resolved.
  Consult with Supply Chain Team: If the issue persists, consult with the supply chain or logistics team to understand if there are any underlying issues affecting stock availability.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/ATPL to analyze ATP results or /SAPAPO/SDP94 for checking the stock situation.
