Capable-to-promise, an overview

Order-promising techniques are used to answer sales-related questions, such as:

• Can you deliver 500 bags of item X by November 8th?
• I need 100 units of item Y; how soon can they be delivered?
• How much of item Z can you deliver before the end of the month?

LN offers a set of order-promising techniques known as capable-to-promise (CTP). CTP consists of functionality ranging from standard item ATP to advanced CTP techniques. These techniques allow you to sell your products based on the following types of information:

• The available supply that is currently planned
• The supply that can be planned in addition to the current planning (by increasing production)
• The maximum volume that can be sold to a particular channel
