  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/DEPL_MESS197 indicates that the Available-to-Promise (ATP) check has been deactivated for a specific situation, and the available quantity is being calculated from the Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP) matrix. This message typically arises in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) within SAP.
  Cause:
  
  ATP Check Deactivation: The ATP check may be deactivated for the specific product or location in the APO system. This can happen due to configuration settings or specific business rules that dictate when ATP checks should be performed.
  DRP Matrix Usage: The system is using the DRP matrix to calculate available quantities instead of performing a standard ATP check. This can occur if the system is configured to prioritize DRP calculations over ATP checks for certain scenarios.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the APO system that prevent the ATP check from being executed, such as settings in the planning book or the profile used for the planning run.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in the APO system to ensure that the ATP check is enabled for the relevant product and location. This can be done in the APO system under the relevant planning area settings.
  Review Product Master Data: Check the product master data to ensure that the ATP check is activated for the product in question. This includes checking the ATP category and ensuring that it is set up correctly.
  Adjust Planning Book Settings: If the planning book is configured to use the DRP matrix, consider adjusting the settings to allow for ATP checks where necessary.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on ATP checks and DRP matrix configurations.
  Testing: After making changes, perform a test run to ensure that the ATP check is functioning as expected and that the error message no longer appears.
  
  Related Information:
