Available to Promise ( ATP )

 What is ATP ?

Oracle Global Order Promising (GOP) functionality basically supports in deriving the
customer order promising dates considering the current on-hand stocks and future expected
demand & supply.
Available-to-Promise (ATP) is a business function that provides response to customer order
enquiries, based on resource availability. It generates available quantities of the requested
product and delivery due dates. Given the quantity that the customer is ordering, ATP gives the
expected ship date based on the quantity on-hand
ATP = On-hand + Supply – Demand
On-hand = Nettable quantity on hand
Supply = Planned orders, Scheduled receipts (purchase orders, purchase requisitions, discrete
jobs and repetitive schedules) and suggested repetitive schedules
Demand = Sales orders, component demand from planned orders, discrete jobs, suggested
repetitive schedules

ATP in Order Management

Setup a latest schedule limit defaulting rule in Order Management.

If the date returned by ATP is earlier than the request date plus the latest
schedule limit, the returned date is automatically populated in the ship date
field when the order is booked.
ATP in Order Management

Setup ATP for the item in the order management tab of the item master
Also, specify the ATP rule that will be used
ATP in Order Management

Configure an ATP Rule. The rule specifies what will be considered supply and demand for
the ATP calculation. Also specifies time when supply will be assumed infinite.
ATP in Order Management

Enter an order. The sourcing warehouse is populated based on Order

Management defaulting rules
ATP in Order Management

Check for availability. When the ‘availability’ button is clicked, the ATP process
returns the date when the material will be available.
ATP in Order Management

Schedule the Order. When the order is booked, the available date returned by
ATP is populated in the ‘schedule ship date’ field.
Single level Supply Chain ATP

Set the system profile ‘INV: Capable to Promise’ to

‘ATP Based on Collected Data’
Single level Supply Chain ATP

Set the ‘MRP: ATP Assignment Set’ profile option to the assignment set that
contains the item’s sourcing rules
Single level Supply Chain ATP

Setup sourcing rules. These determine the order in which organizations will be
looked at to check availability. In this sourcing rule, organization M1 will be
checked first. If the item is not available there, D2 will be checked and so on.
Single level Supply Chain ATP

Attach the item and sourcing rule to the Assignment Set that was defined in the
‘MRP: ATP Assignment Set’ profile option
Single level Supply Chain ATP

Perform a collection from Order Management

Single level Supply Chain ATP

Enter an order
Single level Supply Chain ATP

In this case, organization M1 does not have the required availability of item
AS66311 but organization D2 does
Single level Supply Chain ATP

ATP returns D2 as the source warehouse and July 24 as the available date
Single level Supply Chain ATP

When the order is booked, D2 is populated in the shipping warehouse field and
the available date populates in the ‘schedule ship date’ field.
Single level Supply Chain ATP

The supply/demand form for item AS66311 now shows the quantity available
for ATP has decreased by the amount of the sales order
