Family CTPYou can carry out a CTP check on individual items, but you can also check the CTP on product-family level. In fact, you can transfer the CTP check for an item to any other item. Family CTP checks are useful in three situations:
How to use family CTP The execution of family CTP checks depends on the following settings in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session:
The CTP Time Fence field determines after how many workdays the family CTP horizon starts:
Example: family CTP horizon
In periods 2, 3, 4, and 5 the CTP check is on item level. From period 6 onward the CTP check is on product-family level. The end of the family CTP horizon coincides with the CTP time fence. If family CTP checks are enabled for a plan item, any CTP checks for that item within the family CTP horizon are redirected to the item in the Family Item field. Note You can enter any plan item in the Family Item field; the plan-item type does not necessarily have to be Family. The CTP check can again be transferred from the product family to another product family. This depends on the CTP parameters of the product family. In other words: the procedure can take several steps before the item is found on which the actual check takes place. If family CTP applies, the following checks are redirected to the family level:
Note Channel ATP checks are not redirected to a higher family level, but are always carried out at the level of the item itself. Clear the Family check box in the ATP Handling (cprrp4800m000) session, to disable the family CTP check for that session.
