Availability Results

This form applies only to APS.

This dialog displays the calculated Projected date after you click the Get ATP or Get CTP button, or if you use the Calculate ATP/CTP for All CO Lines planning parameter, on certain SyteLine transactions. This is a realistic date by which your facility can fulfill the demand.

If the calculated Projected Date is equal to or earlier than the current input date (such as the Due Date for an order line or End Date for a job),a check mark is displayed on this dialog.

If the Projected Date is later than the current input date, a problem indicator is displayed.

Note:

The system performs the calculations using dates and times, and the Availability Results dialog shows only dates. This can result in cases where the displayed dates are the same but an X is displayed.
If the demand is associated with a warehouse in which the Dedicated Inventory field is selected, you cannot perform the Get ATP/CTP process. The error message "Availability cannot be checked for demands from warehouses with dedicated inventory" displays.

The Availability Results message gives you these choices:

Yes or OK: Accepts the calculated Projected date as the input date the system will use to incrementally plan this transaction in APS. This button is labeled "OK" if your user ID is not a member of the "APS - Set Due Date &LT Projected" and "APS - Override Projected Date" user groups.
No: (Available only if your user ID is a member of the "APS - Set Due Date &LT Projected" and "APS - Override Projected Date" user groups) Saves the calculated Projected Date in the Projected field for your reference. The input date, such as the Due Date for a customer order line, remains unchanged. The APS function will use the input date to plan the demand. Note that this option effectively overrides the date the system projected.
Cancel: Cancels the ATP/CTP process (the Due Date remains unchanged). This option is useful if the Projected Date is unacceptable, and you want to enter a smaller quantity for the system to try calculating a better projected date.

If you do not have the required authorization levels mentioned above, you have two choices: OK and Cancel.

Click the Plan Detail button to view detailed plan information about the demand you are planning, including the bottleneck items that may have caused the projected date to be later than the requested date.

Click the Quantities button to view detailed quantity availability information for this item.

If you perform Get ATP/CTP on a demand that cannot be planned within the time between the current date and the end of the Plan Horizon (defined on the Planning Parameters form), the Availability Results dialog displays the message "Cannot be completed within the current planning horizon." If you receive this message, you can reduce the quantity, use a later Due Date, or add new resource capacity to allow the demand to be planned.

If Get ATP/CTP is enforced by the Calculate ATP/CTP for All CO Lines planning parameter, a collection of customer order lines/blanket releases could be processed upon saving, so additional fields are displayed on the Availability Results form, so you know which line/release you are being prompted to approve. The form opens and must be approved, rejected, or cancelled for each line/release in the collection.
