ATP Handling (cprrp4800m000)

Use this session to check an item's available-to-promise (ATP) and/or capable-to-promise (CTP) for the selected planning cluster. With these functions, you can check the available inventory of finished goods, the available sub-assemblies and components, and the available capacity, the results are cumulative for all the sites linked to the selected planning cluster.

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 planning clusters.
Note: If a demand peg is linked to the sales order line, or you manually enter a demand peg fields in this session, the peg is taken into account during the ATP check.

Field Information

ATP
Scenario

This code identifies the scenario for the plan item.

Item

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

Channel

channel

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
Company

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

Planning Cluster

planning cluster

Available-to-promise is calculated per cluster, as planning is done at cluster level.

While you can calculate ATP at warehouse level, the default is that if warehouse 1 and warehouse 2 belong to the same cluster, the ATP for both warehouses will be the same.

Ordering Site

The code of the site.

Ordering Warehouse

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

Quantity

The quantity ordered on the sales order or quotation, expressed in the inventory unit.

Delivery Date

The planned delivery date for which the ATP/CTP must be checked.

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.

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/quotation 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.

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.

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 Inherit Demand Peg field in the Job Shop List of Material (tibom3610m000) session. LN simply presumes that all of the ATP of the components is available.

Channel

If this check box is selected, a channel ATP check is performed.

Note: 

If the Delivery Schedule based on Warehouse Calendar check box in the Planning 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.

Supplying Data
Receiving Company

company

Note: Only applicable if multisite functionality is not active.
Warehouse

The supplying warehouse.

Note: Only applicable if multisite functionality is not active.
Where Available
Where Available

The planning cluster that has the quantity of components needed available.

In addition to checking the availability in the selected planning cluster, the Where Available check can be used to check availability of materials in other clusters as well, by:

  • Checking availability in all clusters.
  • Checking a specific set of clusters related to a specified sales office. This set can be set to check the nearest clusters first.
Note: Only applicable if multisite functionality is active.
Order Type

The type of office that has the quantity of components needed available.

Allowed values

  • Sales Office
  • Service Office
Office

The office ID.

Exception Message Priority

The clusters linked to the specified office are selected up to the selected priority. The list of clusters per office, with priority, is defined in the ATP Priorities (tcmcs0168m000) session.

Options
Ignore Supplying Relations

If this check box is selected, LN checks the ATP of items with the same general item code. However, this check is not performed on a multi-company 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 company.

If this check box is cleared, LN checks the ATP for the item, as well as for all supplying items on a multi-company 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 companies/warehouses that have a valid supplying relation to the warehouse in which the shortage was detected.

Note: Only applicable if multisite functionality is not active.
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 Sales Order Planned Delivery Lines (tdsls4101m100) session.

Note: 
  • For items for which the Customizable check box is selected in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session and generic items that are yet to be customized, this check box is disabled and selected. The reason for this is that a proposed (ATP) delivery schedule can be accepted for these items only 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 PCS) 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
Sold-to 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

Business Object Reference

The order or order line code to which the planned order is pegged.

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 Sold-to 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.

Note: If the plan item has the supply source Repetitive, this field cannot be selected.

Project Peg
