Abstract: Abstract Different kinds of stock are represented in SAP APO™ by different ATP categories. The standard stock categories in SAP APO™ are listed in table 22.1. Whether a stock category is relevant for planning or not depends on its order type in the live cache. Note 487166 describes how to change the order type of a stock category, if it is required that certain stock categories change their relevance for planning. The master for all material movements is SAP ERP™ and the inventory information is merely transferred to SAP APO™ (except for returns). This is a one way procedure. A major difference regarding the modelling of special stocks in SAP APO™ and SAP ERP™ is that these stocks are assigned to their physical location in SAP APO™, whereas in SAP ERP™ the ownership is decisive for the location assignment. Figure 22.1 visualises the assignment of the stocks in SAP APO™ and SAP ERP™. The prerequisite to keep the subcontracting stock at the supplier location and the consignment stock at the customer location is that the according product masters exist in these locations. If this is not the case, they are assigned to the plant like in SAP ERP™.
