| rules-based ATP check (SCM-APO-ATP) |
Iterative, step-by-step availability checking process driven by self-defined rules. The results of one step determine, in conjunction with certain predefined parameters, whether the availability check should be continued.
Example:
1. Is the product available at this location?
2. If not, is an alternative product available at this location?
3. If not, is this product available at a different location?
4. If not, is an alternative product available at an alternative location?
5. If not, production is triggered.
Rules-based ATP uses the advanced availability checking methods.
