product allocation group

Global Available-To-Promise (APO-ATP)

A setting that defines a group of characteristics, a so-called characteristics combination.

The characteristics combination describes the criteria used for allocating products. The product allocation group is used for saving product allocations with the corresponding assignments per period. A time series, against which the check is executed, is chosen using a characteristics combination in product allocations.

The product allocation group corresponds to the info structure in Flexible Planning as well as to the InfoCube in Demand Planning.
