Types of ATP and CTP checks
LN offers a set of order-promising techniques that ranges from standard item ATP to advanced CTP techniques.
-
If multisite functionality is active, the checks are performed per planning cluster.
-
If you are using CPQ Configurator for item configuration you must use the Generic Planning Bill of Material (cprpd3145m000) and Generic Planning Routing (cprpd3150m000) sessions to generate a generic BOM and routing to be able to perform these checks.
-
Standard ATP check
An item master plan contains available-to-promise (ATP) information. ATP represents the balance of planned supply and actual demand. You can use ATP information to determine how much you can still sell to customers.
-
Extended CTP checks
Component CTP and capacity CTP are extensions of standard ATP, and are used to determine how many items you can produce in addition to the existing production planning.
-
Family CTP
For planning on longer term, working with detailed ATP and CTP information is not always useful. LN offers the option of redirecting ATP checks and extended CTP checks to a higher product-family level. Channel ATP checks are always carried out at the level of the item itself.
-
Channel ATP
If you maintain channel master plans, you can constrain the allowed volume that is delivered to each channel. LN uses channel ATP to determine how much can still be sold in a particular channel.
