• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/ATP_BOP128 - Partial confirmation: 'Fixed Date/Quantity' checkbox is set for item &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/ATP_BOP128 indicates that there is an issue with the partial confirmation of a sales order or production order item in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. Specifically, the error states that the "Fixed Date/Quantity" checkbox is set for the item, which prevents partial confirmations from being processed.
  Cause:
  The cause of this error is that the item in question has been configured to require a fixed date and/or quantity for confirmation. When this setting is enabled, the system does not allow partial confirmations, meaning that the entire quantity must be confirmed at once, and the confirmation must occur on the specified date.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you have a couple of options:
  
  
  Change the Confirmation Settings:
  
  If it is acceptable for your business process, you can change the settings for the item to allow partial confirmations. This can typically be done in the material master or in the sales order/production order settings.
  Navigate to the relevant order or material master record and look for the "Fixed Date/Quantity" checkbox. Uncheck this option if you want to allow partial confirmations.
  
  
  
  Confirm Full Quantity:
  
  If the fixed date/quantity setting is necessary for your business process, you will need to confirm the entire quantity of the item at once. Ensure that you have enough stock or capacity to fulfill the entire order.
  
  
  
  Review Business Requirements:
  
  Assess whether the fixed date/quantity requirement is appropriate for the specific item or order. If it is not necessary, consider adjusting the settings to allow for more flexibility in confirmations.

  Configuration Settings:
  
  The settings for fixed date/quantity can be found in the configuration for the relevant order type or material type. You may need to consult with your SAP configuration team to make changes at the configuration level.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help files for more detailed information on handling confirmations in APO and the implications of changing the fixed date/quantity settings.
  
  
  
  User Roles:
