Component CTP and capacity CTP for planning clusters

You can use these types of available-to-promise functionality:

  • Standard ATP check
  • Channel ATP check
  • Family CTP check
Note: If multisite functionality is active, the standard ATP check is performed per planning cluster.

The ATP check takes supplying relations in to account when exploding the bill of material (BOM) for the component check. The ATP check find components through:

  • generic BOM

    Exploded for a product variant, or on a site item level.

    Supply relations are not taken in to account as Order Planning and Master Planning will perform the check.

  • bill of critical materials

    Only used for items with an item master plan.

    Supply relations are not taken in to account as Order Planning and Master Planning will perform the check.

  • bill of material (BOM)

    The most detailed level.

    With this check the supply relations are taken in to account as shown by the examples.

Example

When a ATP check is done for Plan Item CPATP22, the result should be that 10 pieces can be delivered via the supplying relation CPATP22.1 <- ATP CPATP22.1. The item ATP CPATP22.1 has 10 pieces on hand.

The ATP calculation always takes the minimum component CTP in the case of one supplying relation.

Example

The use of two companies and two supplying relations is possible.

If there is an ATP request for ten pieces on ABE CPATP, the result of the ATP check should be that both five pieces on hand are found. Five pieces from ADL CPATP22.2.A and five from AFR CPATP22.2.A.

In case of several supplying relations component CTP should be added to the previously found component CTP.

If a plan item has a valid sourcing strategy, LN checks the component CTP and capacity CTP only if the sourcing strategy is Job Shop, Subcontract, or Repetitive source (more than 0%).

If a plan item has no valid sourcing strategy, LN checks the component CTP and capacity CTP only if the Actual Supply Source is Job Shop, Subcontract, Repetitive, Distribution, or Purchase.

Note: 

The following capacity cannot be considered if the sourcing strategy is:

  • Repetitive

    capacity of work cells

  • Subcontract

    capacity of the subcontractor

The capacity check can be done in case of components with the source Job Shop.

You can define a plan item's supply source in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) and Items (tcibd0501m000) sessions.
