• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/ATP_BOP318 - No logging because parallel. backorder proc. is currently switched off ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/ATP_BOP318 indicates that the backorder processing (BOP) is currently switched off for parallel processing. This error typically arises in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when attempting to execute backorder processing in a scenario where parallel processing is not enabled or configured correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Parallel Processing Disabled: The system is configured to not allow parallel processing for backorder processing, which can lead to this error when a parallel execution is attempted.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the APO system may not be properly configured to allow for parallel processing of backorder processing tasks.
  System Performance: The system may be set to run in a single-threaded mode to avoid performance issues or resource contention.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enable Parallel Processing:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the APO system to ensure that parallel processing for backorder processing is enabled. This can typically be done in the transaction code /SAPAPO/OM17 or similar configuration transactions.
  Look for settings related to backorder processing and ensure that the option for parallel processing is activated.
  
  
  
  Adjust Job Scheduling:
  
  If parallel processing is not required or desired, consider adjusting the job scheduling to run backorder processing in a single-threaded mode. This may involve changing the job parameters or scheduling settings.
  
  
  
  Review System Resources:
  
  Ensure that the system has adequate resources (CPU, memory) to handle parallel processing if it is enabled. Sometimes, performance issues can lead to disabling parallel processing.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to backorder processing and parallel processing for any specific recommendations or updates that may apply to your version of SAP APO.
  
  
  
  Check for SAP Notes:
  
  Search for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message. SAP frequently releases notes that provide fixes or workarounds for known issues.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as /SAPAPO/OM17 for configuration and /SAPAPO/ATP for checking availability and backorder processing.
  Performance Monitoring: Use transaction codes like ST03N or ST06 to monitor system performance and resource usage, which can help in diagnosing issues related to parallel processing.
  SAP Community and Forums: Engage with the SAP community or forums for insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error message /SAPAPO/ATP_BOP318 and ensure that backorder processing is functioning as intended in your SAP APO environment.
