            <ListIntro>For the current plan period and each subsequent period

            <ListItem>Part of the item's ATP

			 reservation is subtracted from the ATP of the (component) item.</ListItem>

         <Paragraph>If component and/or

         <List>

         <Paragraph>In this case, the

         <Paragraph>CTP reservations are
		  subtracted from a component item's ATP or a resource's capacity CTP. This means
		  that an item's ATP is lowered by any component CTP reservations made for that
		  item by higher-level items in the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#BillOfMateri_ti" role="glossary">bill of material (BOM)</Link>.</Paragraph>

         <SectionTitle>Order promising</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph>The cumulative ATP is
		  a convenient tool for order promising. When it comes to accepting customer
		  orders, a plan period's <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000040" role="glossary">cumulative ATP</Link> is a clear indicator of the order quantity
		  that you can still promise to deliver in that plan period. Usually, when
		  reference is made to checking an item's ATP (in a general sense), what is
		  actually checked is not the ATP as you can find it in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/cp/rmp/cprmp2101m000" role="session">Item Master Plan (cprmp2101m000)</GUIRef> session, but rather the cumulative ATP.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>The functionality
		  behind the notion of cumulative ATP is further enhanced by extended <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000029" role="glossary">capable-to-promise (CTP)</Link> checking techniques. These techniques do not only consider what can be promised
		  based on the planned supply, but also explore the possibility of producing more
		  than the current supply planning indicates.</Paragraph>

		  availability, like item ATP, but is derived from the <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000025" role="glossary">allowed demand</Link> for the
		  channel in question.</Paragraph>
