• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/ATP_BOP116 - Filter type &1: Deliveries are ignored in backorder processing ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/ATP_BOP116 indicates that certain deliveries are being ignored during backorder processing due to the filter type specified. This message typically arises in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) within SAP, particularly when dealing with Available-to-Promise (ATP) checks and backorder processing.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when the backorder processing (BOP) logic encounters deliveries that do not meet the criteria defined by the filter type. This can happen for several reasons:
  
  
  Filter Configuration: The filter type specified in the backorder processing configuration may not include deliveries, or it may be set to ignore certain types of deliveries based on specific criteria (e.g., delivery date, status, etc.).
  
  
  Delivery Status: The deliveries in question may have a status that excludes them from being processed in the current backorder processing run.
  
  
  Custom Logic: If there are custom enhancements or user exits in place, they may be affecting the way deliveries are handled during backorder processing.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Filter Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for backorder processing in SAP APO.
  Review the filter types defined and ensure that the filter you are using includes the relevant deliveries. You may need to adjust the filter criteria to include the deliveries you want to process.
  
  
  
  Review Delivery Status:
  
  Check the status of the deliveries that are being ignored. Ensure that they are in a status that allows them to be processed in backorder processing.
  
  
  
  Adjust BOP Settings:
  
  If necessary, adjust the settings for backorder processing to ensure that the desired deliveries are included. This may involve changing the settings in the BOP profile or the relevant planning book.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to backorder processing and the specific error message for additional insights and recommendations.
