• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/ATP_BOP149 - Item &1/&2/3 was overconfirmed before backorder processing ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/ATP_BOP149 indicates that an item has been overconfirmed before backorder processing in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This typically occurs in the context of Available-to-Promise (ATP) checks and backorder processing, where the system is trying to allocate stock to fulfill demand but finds that the item has already been confirmed beyond its available quantity.
  Cause:
  
  
  Overconfirmation: The item in question has been confirmed for more quantity than what is available in stock. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Incorrect stock levels being maintained in the system.
  Manual adjustments or confirmations that exceed the available inventory.
  Errors in the planning process that lead to unrealistic confirmations.
  
  
  
  Planning Parameters: The settings in the planning parameters may allow for overconfirmation, which can lead to this error during backorder processing.
  
  
  Order Management Issues: There may be issues with how orders are managed, such as multiple orders being confirmed for the same stock.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Stock Levels: Verify the actual stock levels in the system. Ensure that the stock is accurately reflected in the system and that there are no discrepancies.
  
  
  Review Confirmations: Look into the confirmations made for the item. Identify if there are any manual confirmations or adjustments that have led to overconfirmation.
  
  
  Adjust Planning Parameters: Review and adjust the planning parameters in the APO system to prevent overconfirmation. This may involve setting limits on how much can be confirmed based on available stock.
  
  
  Backorder Processing Settings: Check the settings for backorder processing to ensure they align with your business requirements and do not allow for overconfirmation.
  
  
  Reprocess Orders: If necessary, you may need to reprocess the orders or backorders to align them with the available stock.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support for specific configurations related to ATP and backorder processing to ensure that your settings are optimal.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/ATP to check ATP settings or /SAPAPO/BC for backorder processing.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide patches or updates to the system.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is implemented, review any user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) that may affect ATP and backorder processing.
