Lesson: Setting Up Rules-Based Availability Check in Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP)

Rule Control: Access Strategy

Figure 73: Rule Control: Access Strategy

Rule control strategies—product strategies and location strategies—control check processing

in a single list:
● A product strategy controls check processing in a product substitution list.
● A location strategy controls processing in a location determination list.

For either products or locations, the possible strategies are:

● Strategy 01 checks sequentially. It starts from the top of the list to the bottom.
● Strategy 02 checks sequentially. It starts at the input value and works toward the bottom
of the list. If the product is not found, then the check returns to the input value and
continues to check sequentially. However, this time, it works toward the top of the list.
● Strategy 03 checks sequentially. It starts at the input value and works toward the bottom
of the list. If the product is not found, then the check returns to the top of the list. From
there, it works down toward the input value.
● Strategy 04 starts the sequential checking at the bottom of the list and then works toward
the top.
● Strategy 05 checks sequentially. It starts at the input value and works backward toward
the top of the list. If the product is not found, then the check returns to the input value and
continues working toward the bottom of the list.
● Strategy 06 checks sequentially. It starts at the input value and works backward toward
the top of the list. If the product is not found, then the check returns to the bottom of the
list and works backward toward the input value.
