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:

SiteWarehouseATP (2 January)
100A1-
100A2100
200B180
200B230

 

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, LN screens all defined supply sites and warehouses, and determines the inventory level and available to promise (ATP) for the specified date. LN displays the current ATP for all supply sites or warehouses sorted by supply priority. As a result, you can determine if the required goods are available somewhere in the supply chain on 2 January.

Note

If you click Where Available, 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 unavailable.

Using 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, in the Select Orders for Transfer (cppat0210m000) session.

 

ATP
Scenario

This code identifies the scenario for the plan item.

Plan Item

The plan item for which the ATP/CTP must be checked.

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.

Warehouse

The warehouse from which you want the item to be delivered.

Cluster

In Enterprise Planning, a grouping of warehouses connected to each other by supplying relationships.

A cluster represents a geographical location that consists of one or more warehouses. Enterprise Planning considers these warehouses as one unit for planning purposes.

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.

Direct Delivery

If this check box is selected, you can change the warehouse for a direct delivery. If the ATP/CTP check comes up with another warehouse than the warehouse for which you performed the ATP/CTP check, you can change the sales order line's warehouse.

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, LN will in fact check the available quantity of the bicycle item.

Related topics

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 button is disabled.

Related topics

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 button is 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. LN simply presumes that all of the ATP of the components is available.

Related topics

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. LN cannot transfer unconsumed channel ATP to the next period. If you select the Delivery Schedule based on Warehouse Calendar check box, LN may shift the planned delivery date to a future period that has insufficient channel ATP.

Related topics

Supplying Data
Warehouse

The supplying warehouse.

Minimum Available

The lot size that the supplying warehouse must deliver.

During the search process, LN skips inventory lines that do not fulfill the specified lot size.

Options
Ignore Supplying Relations

If this check box is selected, 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. LN searches for Available to promise (ATP) in all warehouses in the current logistic site.

If this check box is cleared, 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, LN 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 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) 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 demand pegged.

If you enter a business partner here, LN searches for supply that is allocated or demand pegged to this business partner.

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 demand pegged, for example, Sales Order, or Service Order.

If you enter a business object type and business object here, LN searches for supply that is allocated or demand 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
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 demand pegged.

If you enter a business object type and business object here, LN searches for supply that is allocated or demand 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
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 demand pegged.

If you enter a reference here, LN searches for supply that is allocated or demand pegged to this reference code.

LN can use this field in two ways:

  • If the Business Partner field is filled, LN uses the Reference field to record a reference code defined by a customer.
  • If the Business Partner field is empty, 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.

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.

Project Peg
Project

A collection of manufacturing and purchasing actions that are performed especially for a particular customer order. A project is initiated by a customer order for items having a To Order order policy. The purpose of a project is to plan and coordinate the production of these items.

For a standard-to-order production, the project is only used to link the item with the customer order. Otherwise, a project can include:

  • Customized item data (BOMs and routings)
  • Project planning (activity planning)

A budget is a special type of project. A budget is used to plan and estimate, not to carry out production.

Where Available

LN screens the supply sites and warehouses, and determines the inventory level and available to promise (ATP) for the specified date. LN does not check on component and capacity.

Available

LN screens the supply sites and warehouses and checks if inventory is available on the specified date. The search process stops when all supply sites are checked or when the required quantity is completely covered. LN does not check on component and capacity.

When Available

LN screens the supply sites warehouses and checks when inventory is available.

Accept Check

The line is updated with the outcome of the Available, or When Available checks, such as a delivery scheme, warehouse change, or date change.

This option is available only if:

  • This session is initiated from sales order line entry.
  • An Available or When Available check was previously performed.
