Unit 7: Rules-Based Availability Check in Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP)

confirmation date. If this is not the case, then the check is terminated; if required, an
additional check is started.

Hint:
Using ATP rules (in SAP APO) for package size and/or overdelivery can have
unexpected results. Nevertheless, as shown in the following examples, the
results can be correct:
● For a package size of 12 and an order quantity of 100, the request is regarded
as satisfied if 96 are available (overdelivery is not allowed). In this case, the
SAP ERP sales order never gets the complete confirmation status.
● For a package size of 12 and an order quantity of 100, the request is regarded
as fulfilled if 108 are available—provided that an overdelivery of at least 8
percent is allowed. Even though the quantity requested was only 100, the
system confirms 108.

LESSON SUMMARY
You should now be able to:
● Define product substitution
● Define location determination
● Explain production process model (PPM) substitution
● Set up the calculation profile and rule control
