In BOP, you receive a list for a material with all relevant receipts and dispatches for the availability check and the option of processing shortfall quantities.

You have the following processing options in BOP:

  • Open requirements can be re-confirmed, for example, if the stock has increased since the last availability check, another receipt has occurred, and so on.
  • Quantities that have already been confirmed can be re-distributed by partly or completely reducing quantities allocated to confirmed requirements, and instead assigning them to other more urgent requirements. ...
