| ATP check (SCM-APO-ATP) |
Function used to check, together with certain basic methods, if a product can be confirmed.
The following basic methods exist:
The availability check is carried out against the ATP quantity. In the SAP R/3 system, this is called the availability check using ATP logic.
The availability check is carried out against product allocations.
The availability check is carried out against planned independent requirements.
In SAP APO, advanced methods of the availability check exist in addition to the basic methods. For example:
A sequence of basic methods to carry out the availability check (for example, 1. product availability check; 2. check against product allocations) is defined in the check instructions.
Either Capable-To-Promise (CTP) or a multilevel ATP check is carried out.
Rules are used to control how the system reacts after an availability check, which was determined in the check instructions, if the requested product could be only partially confirmed (or not at all).
