ATP: Its Not For Everybody

Some industries dont think they need ATP

Consumer Products companies sometimes wait until the delivery

and rely on their forecast.

If you know the products not going to be available when theATP check is done, but it will by the time you need to ship it.

If everything you sell is make-to-order

Hint: You can trigger production from a sales order with APOs

gATP

If you tried it for a while, but i t could never find the product you

.

Hint: This sounds like a consult ing issue (consultant issue?).



9/38

What Will it do for Me?

Prevent over-commitment

Manage backorders

Let you search in multiple locations (gATP)

Automate a manual process

Reduce the amount of time it takes to process an order

Give you visibil ity of your sales commitments for every materialyou ATP check, regardless of the results.

Give Production something besides a forecast to work with.

Allow you to prioritize customers and realign commitments ofconstrained product when necessary.



10/38

What Should it NOT Do!

Render results that are impossible to understand.

Return results you know are incorrect.

Confuse rather than help.

Annoy rather than delight.

Increase shipping costs.

Decrease fil l rates.

Lower customer satisfaction.

Increase the rocessin time of customer service.

Result in turnover and career changes.

Customizing is based on a combination of fields from the MRP

and SD views of the Material Master Record, for the most part.

Used by 1000s.

Customizing Key Fields


Please note: This isnt all of the Customizing for ATP!


14/38

What Happens When an ATP Check is Performed?

When everything is confirmed, on the line item level, as the

customer requested it nothing happens, really

When everything is not OK, first this...

Smaller install base than ERP

Younger product

New processes being added with each release

A HUGE release coming up with SCM 5.0

Different philosophy, fewer restrictions

More opportunities to influence future development

Also integrated with CRM to perform its availability checks

Business Transaction is assigned to Order Type in SD Customizing.

That means that a different rule-strategy can be assigned based on SD

document t e!



22/38

My Favorite Defining the Scope



23/38


The Choices:

A basic ATP check (in APO)

A rules-based ATP check

Product substitution

Location substitution

May include a Calculation Prof ile

A Multi-level ATP check Perhaps in combination with rules-based ATP

A Product Allocation Check

A Production capacity check (Capable-to-Promise)

A combination of the above

If Using CTP, Results Could Look Like This

place in PP/DS.
