Family CTP check

A product family usually includes similar end items that use the same critical components and capacities. Often, you do not know yet which of these end items you will produce in the future, because you only have master plans or order plans on product family level. In that case, you can check the requested quantities against the ATP on family level. The ATP on family level represents the total ATP of the end items that belong to that family.

Enabling family CTP check

To enable family CTP checking, for each end item that belongs to the product family, specify the following in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session:

  • On the CTP tab, select the Family CTP check box.
  • In the Family Site field, specify the company number of the product family to which the item belongs. You can specify a logistical company that differs from your current company.
  • In the Family Item field, specify the product family on which the CTP check is performed.
  • In the Start of Family CTP Horizon field, specify the number of days after which LN must check the ATP of the product family instead of the end item’s ATP. This field is expressed in working days.
Note

For the item that represents the product family, on the CTP tab of the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session, specify an appropriate value in the ATP Horizon field.
