Component CTPIn a component CTP check for an item, LN checks whether a sufficient quantity of the components of the item is available to produce that item. As a rule, a component CTP check is carried out in the following situation:
A component CTP check is performed on the items bill of material (BOM), on its bill of critical materials (BCM), or on its generic BOM if the items customized. In all situation, you must select the Critical in CTP check box in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session of the component items that LN must take into account during a component CTP check, so that LN recognizes them as critical in CTP. For each CTP-critical component, LN carries out a full CTP check. This check can consist of various types of ATP and CTP checks, based on the settings in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session. Note that this can result in a multilevel component check, in which LN also checks lower-level components. Note The component CTP check ignores the specification, regardless of the value of the Demand Propagation field in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session. LN simply presumes that all of the ATP of the components is available. Example You produce 4 items: A, B, C, and D.
In the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session, you selected the Component CTP check box for all items, and you selected the Critical in CTP check box for item B, C, and D. You did not select the Capacity CTP check box, the Channel ATP check box, or the Family Item CTP check box. LN starts a CTP check for item A with a standard ATP check. If the ATP of item A is insufficient, LN carries out a full multilevel CTP check for item B. This means that the following data is checked:
Requirement date of the component If you perform a component CTP check, LN calculates the requirement date of the component based on the requirement date of the main item. The difference between the requirement date of the main item and the requirement date of the component is the lead-time offset. LN plans the offset against the applicable calendar and the availability type defined in the Planning Parameters (cprpd0100m000) session. The value of the Component CTP bucket field in the Planning Parameters (cprpd0100m000) session also impacts the lead-time offset. Using the Bill of Material BOM If the component CTP check is based on the bill of material (BOM), LN calculates the requirement date of the component by using the data in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) and Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) sessions. If in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session, the Use Lead Time Offset check box is selected, LN uses the value of the Lead Time Offset field in that session as the lead-time offset. If in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session, the Use Lead Time Offset check box is cleared, LN uses the order lead time of the main item as the lead-time offset. An item's order lead time is defined in the Order Lead Time field in the Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) session. Using the Bill of Critical Materials (BCM) If the component CTP check is based on the bill of critical materials, LN calculates the requirement date of the component by using the data in the Bill of Critical Materials (cprpd3120m000) session. If in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session, the check box is selected, LN uses the value of the Lead-TimeOffset field in the Bill of Critical Materials (cprpd3120m000) session. How to set up component CTP checks Set up the main item If the Component CTP check box in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session is selected for a particular item, you can carry out component CTP checks for the corresponding item. Clear the Component check box in the ATP Handling (cprrp4800m000) session to disable component CTP checks for that item. Note You can also use component CTP checks in configure-to-order situations. Set up the components In the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session, select the Critical in CTP check box for all components that must be checked. Specify a lead-time offset in one of the following ways:
