This overview displays the requirements and received quantities, the quantity confirmed until now and the cumlated ATP (available-to-promise) quantity (the required and received quantities in stock still available for use) for each selected material, requirements/received date and MRP (materials requirements planning) element (such as the sales order). The requirements date generated by the sales document matches the material availability date.

Note Note

Note that you can only process the MRP elements for the lines that you selected in the list for which confirmed quantities exist. The MRP elements that you can process are highlighted.

However, the system does take the size of the delivery quantities into account when calculating the ATP quantity.
