| 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 02-01-2000:
Site | Warehouse | ATP (02-01-2000)
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 02-01-2000. But there is not enough inventory available in warehouse A1. If you click Where Available, ERP LN screens all defined supply sites and warehouses, determines inventory level and available to promise (ATP) for the specified date. ERP LN 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 01-01-2000. Note If you click Where Available, ERP LN 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 LN 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 LN 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 LN 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 Check, ERP LN 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 LN 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.

Fields | Description
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.
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.
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 LN 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 Hard Peg Propagation field in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session. ERP LN 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 EP 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 LN cannot transfer unconsumed channel ATP to the next period. If you select the Delivery Schedule based on Warehouse Calendar check box, ERP LN may shift the planned delivery date to a future period that has insufficient channel ATP. Related topics Channel ATP
Lot Size | The lot size that the supplying warehouse must be able to deliver. During the search process, ERP LN skips inventory lines that do not fulfill the specified lot size.
Ignore Supplying Relations | If this check box is selected, ERP LN 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 LN searches for Available to promise (ATP) in all warehouses in the current logistic site. If this check box is cleared, ERP LN 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 Check or a Fixed Dt ATP check, ERP LN displays the CTP output in a graphical browser framework.
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 LN searches for supply that is allocated or hard pegged to this business partner. Related topics Allocation and hard 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 LN 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 Allocation and hard 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 LN 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 Allocation and hard pegging overview
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 LN searches for supply that is allocated or hard pegged to this reference code. ERP LN can use this field in two ways: If the Business Partner field is filled, ERP LN uses the Reference field to record a reference code defined by a customer. If the Business Partner field is empty, ERP LN 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 Allocation and hard 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.
