Global Available-to-Promise (SCM-APO-ATP)

Object in SAP APO that corresponds to an SAP R/3 sales order item or an order component.

An ATP requirement consists of one or more ATP requirements schedule lines. It belongs to exactly one category of the type requirement and always refers to:

• A product number

• Organizational units (location, sublocation, version)

• An account assignment

The ATP requirement corresponds to

• An order item (if the ATP check is called from SAP R/3 SD, purchasing or SAP CRM, for example)

• An order component (if the ATP check is called from SAP R/3 PP or SAP APO PP/DS)

In the rules-based ATP check the substitutions are mapped as ATP requirements. In a multilevel ATP check the components that result from a BOM explosion are mapped as ATP requirements.

The following ATP requirements are returned to the calling system:

• Order main items or order components

• Substitutions that resulted from a rules-based ATP check and for which no stock transport requisitions should be created

ATP requirements from stock transport requisitions that resulted from the rules-based ATP check and ATP requirements that resulted from the SAP APO BOM explosion, are not returned to the calling application.
