• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/ATP_BOP097 - &1: You have deliberately generated an overconfirmation ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/ATP_BOP097 indicates that there has been an overconfirmation in the Available-to-Promise (ATP) process within the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This typically occurs when the system has confirmed more quantities than are actually available, which can lead to issues in supply chain management and order fulfillment.
  Cause:
  
  
  Overconfirmation: The primary cause of this error is that the system has been configured to allow confirmations that exceed the available stock or capacity. This can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect settings in the ATP check configuration.
  Manual adjustments or overrides that lead to overconfirmation.
  Changes in demand or supply that were not updated in the system.
  
  
  
  Planning Parameters: The planning parameters may not be set correctly, leading to discrepancies between the confirmed quantities and actual available quantities.
  
  
  Master Data Issues: Problems with master data, such as incorrect stock levels, lead times, or safety stock settings, can also contribute to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review ATP Configuration: Check the configuration settings for ATP checks in the system. Ensure that the settings are aligned with your business processes and that they prevent overconfirmation.
  
  
  Adjust Confirmations: If overconfirmation has occurred, you may need to manually adjust the confirmed quantities to reflect the actual available stock. This can involve:
  
  Reducing the confirmed quantities in the sales order or production order.
  Re-evaluating the demand and supply situation to ensure accurate confirmations.
  
  
  
  Update Master Data: Ensure that all relevant master data (material master, BOM, routing, etc.) is accurate and up-to-date. This includes checking stock levels, lead times, and safety stock settings.
  
  
  Monitor and Analyze: Implement monitoring tools to analyze ATP confirmations and identify patterns that lead to overconfirmation. This can help in adjusting processes and configurations proactively.
  
  
  Training and Awareness: Ensure that users involved in order processing and ATP checks are trained on the implications of overconfirmation and the importance of accurate data entry.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on ATP configuration and management.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to ATP checks and APO configuration for best practices and troubleshooting steps.
  Community Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or support channels to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have implemented.
