| # ATP Handling (cprrp4800m000) Use this session to check an item's available-to-promise (ATP) and/or capable-to-promise (CTP). With these functions, you can check the available inventory of finished goods, the available sub-assemblies and components, and the available capacity. As a result, you can check: Where and when the items are available. Why items are not available (at a certain point in time). If the items are available in other warehouses or sites. Note If a specification is linked to the sales order line, or you manually enter specification fields in this session, this specification information is taken into account during the ATP check. Procedure Suppose you have the following ATP quantity in your sites and warehouses on 2 January:
Site | Warehouse | ATP (2 January)
100 | A1 | -
100 | A2 | 100
200 | B1 | 80
200 | B2 | 30
All the other warehouses can supply warehouse A1. Warehouse A2 has the highest supply priority and warehouse B2 the lowest one. Your business partner's order is received for warehouse A1 for a quantity of 150 on 2 January. But there is not enough inventory available in warehouse A1. If you click Where Available, ERP Enterprise screens all defined supply sites and warehouses, determines inventory level and available to promise (ATP) for the specified date. ERP Enterprise displays the current ATP for all supply sites or warehouses sorted by supply priority. As a result, you can determine whether or not the needed goods are available somewhere in the supply chain on 2 January. Note If you click Where Available, ERP Enterprise does not check on component and capacity. As a result, if you select the Capacity check box and/or the Component check box, the Where Available button is made unavailable. To use goods from other sites or warehouses If you want the goods to be delivered on the required date and a phased delivery is not acceptable, you must use the available goods from other sites or warehouses (in another logistic company). As a result, a transfer order must be created. If you click Fixed Dt ATP check, ERP Enterprise screens all supply sites and checks whether inventory is available on the specified date. Lines that do not fulfill the entered lot size are skipped. The search process stops when all supply sites are checked or when the needed quantity is completely covered. All defined supply sites are checked again in sequence of supply priority. However, ERP Enterprise only displays those sites/warehouses that fulfill the following conditions: ATP is not equal to zero ATP is greater than or equal to the defined lot size Note If you click Fixed Dt ATP check, ERP Enterprise does not check on component and capacity. If you select the Capacity check box and/or the Component check box, the Fixed Dt ATP check button is made unavailable. To use goods from warehouse A1: If you only want the goods to be supplied from warehouse A1, you can create a proposal for a delivery schedule. If you click Fixed WH ATP check, ERP Enterprise proposes a delivery schedule. If inventory is not available on the specified date, inventory can be available on one or more dates after this date. In our example, ERP Enterprise determines the date after 02-01-2000, on which the inventory is available in warehouse A1. The result is a delivery schedule that can consist of one or more dates with an available quantity by date. Note You can create a delivery schedule from another site or warehouse. Related topics Capable-to-promise, an overview Types of ATP and CTP checks Item ATP ATP Scenario This code identifies the scenario for the plan item. Related topics Scenarios in Enterprise Planning Plan Item The plan item for which the ATP/CTP must be checked. Channel A sales or distribution channel used to assign goods to customer groups. You can link channels to sold-to business partners and to items. Channels can be used in connection with available-to-promise (ATP). You can assign a certain ATP volume to a channel. This volume limits the ATP for that channel to a maximum. Related topics Channels in Enterprise Planning Product Variant The product variant for which the ATP/CTP must be calculated. Effectivity Unit The effectivity unit for which the ATP/CTP must be calculated. Ordering data Site The company from which you want the item to be delivered. Default Warehouse The warehouse from which you want the item to be delivered. Quantity The quantity ordered on the sales order, expressed in the inventory unit. Delivery Date The planned delivery date for which the ATP/CTP must be checked. Type of Check Family If this check box is selected, you can also check the ATP quantity of the family item to which the finished good belongs. Example The item mountain bike is part of the family bicycle. If the ATP of mountain bike must be checked, ERP Enterprise will in fact check the available quantity of the bicycle item. Related topics Family CTP Capacity If this check box is selected, the capacity of critical resources / work centers is taken into account when you perform an ATP check for a finished good. Note The capacity ATP check is performed on resources in the bill of critical capacities that are defined as ATP critical. If you select this check box, the Where Available and Fixed Dt ATP check buttons are made unavailable. Related topics Capacity CTP Component If this check box is selected, a check is carried out on the availability of critical components when you perform an ATP check for a finished good. Note Only components that are critical in ATP are checked. If you select this check box, the Where Available and Fixed Dt ATP check buttons are disabled. The component CTP check ignores the specification, regardless of the value of the Demand Peg Propagation field in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session. ERP Enterprise simply presumes that all of the ATP of the components is available. Related topics Component CTP Channel If this check box is selected, a channel ATP check is performed. Important! If the Delivery Schedule based on Warehouse Calendar check box in the Planning Parameters (cprpd0100m000) session is selected, channel ATP checks can give incorrect results. A quantity of channel ATP is only valid for a specific period. ERP Enterprise cannot transfer unconsumed channel ATP to the next period. If you select the Delivery Schedule based on Warehouse Calendar check box, ERP Enterprise may shift the planned delivery date to a future period that has insufficient channel ATP. Related topics Channel ATP Supplying Data Minimum Available The lot size that the supplying warehouse must be able to deliver. During the search process, ERP Enterprise skips inventory lines that do not fulfill the specified lot size. Options Ignore Supplying Relations If this check box is selected, ERP Enterprise checks the ATP of items with the same general item code (clustered, and non-clustered). However, this check is not performed on a multi-site level. As a result, the supplying relations as defined in Enterprise Planning are ignored. ERP Enterprise searches for Available to promise (ATP) in all warehouses in the current logistic site. If this check box is cleared, ERP Enterprise checks the ATP for the item, as well as for all supplying items on a multi-site level. The ATP check includes all the warehouses of the non-clustered plan item plus all warehouses that are linked to it by means of a supplying relation. As a result, the supplying relations as defined in Enterprise Planning are not ignored. Only proposals are done for sites/warehouses that have a valid supplying relation to the warehouse in which the shortage was detected. Show CTP Details If this check box is selected, and you perform a Fixed WH ATP check or a Fixed Dt ATP check, ERP Enterprise displays the CTP output in a graphical browser framework. Create Order Lines This check box determines how the delivery schedule is processed on sales order level. If this check box is selected, additional sales order lines are generated in the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session. If this check box is cleared, delivery lines are generated for the sales order line in the Sales Order Planned Delivery Lines (tdsls4101m100) session. Note For To Order items and generic items that are not customized yet, this check box is unavailable and selected. The reason for this is that a proposed (ATP) delivery schedule can only be accepted for these items if multiple order lines are created. As a result, sales order lines are generated with different dates and/or warehouses. For customized items, a delivery schedule can be set up. As a result, after a product/project structure is generated for the lines in the Generate (Project PCS) Structure for Sales Orders (tdsls4244m000) session, sales order delivery lines can be created that represent the delivery schedule. Unit is Binding for Planning If this check box is selected, the selected plan unit is binding for all further planning for the order. Specification Business Partner The sold-to business partner to which the inventory that can fill this demand must have been allocated or to which the order that can fill this demand must have been hard pegged. If you enter a business partner here, ERP Enterprise searches for supply that is allocated or hard pegged to this business partner. Related topics Demand pegging overview Business Object Type The type of order to which the inventory that can fill this demand must have been allocated or to which the order that can fill this demand must have been hard pegged, for example, Sales Order, or Service Order. If you enter a business object type and business object here, ERP Enterprise searches for supply that is allocated or hard pegged to this business object. Note The following fields are always used in combination; together, they identify the relevant order or order line: Business Object Type Business Object Business Object Reference Related topics Demand pegging overview Business Object This field indicates the order, or order line, to which the inventory that can fill this demand must have been allocated or to which the order that can fill this demand must have been hard pegged. If you enter a business object type and business object here, ERP Enterprise searches for supply that is allocated or hard pegged to this business object. Note The following fields are always used in combination; together, they identify the relevant order or order line: Business Object Type Business Object Business Object Reference Related topics Demand pegging overview Business Object Reference Demand Pegged to Business Object Reference Reference This field indicates the reference code to which the inventory that can fill this demand must have been allocated or to which the order that can fill this demand must have been hard pegged. If you enter a reference here, ERP Enterprise searches for supply that is allocated or hard pegged to this reference code. ERP Enterprise can use this field in two ways: If the Business Partner field is filled, ERP Enterprise uses the Reference field to record a reference code defined by a customer. If the Business Partner field is empty, ERP Enterprise uses the Reference field to record an internal reference. You can use a reference code to keep a collection of parts linked together, even if they follow different routings, for example, if some of the parts are transported to a subcontractor to be returned later. Related topics Demand pegging overview Use Unallocated Inventory If this check box is selected, Enterprise Planning can use unallocated inventory to supply the demand. Enterprise Planning uses allocated inventory first. If there is not enough allocated inventory, Enterprise Planning also uses unallocated inventory. If this check box is cleared, Enterprise Planning can use only allocated inventory to fill the demand.
