ATP as a concept

ATP stands for 'Available to Promise'. ATP is the quantity of current

on-hand stock, outstanding receipts and planned production that has not already
been committed, either through reservations or by placing demand.

What Oracle has to provide?

ATP and ATP components flags determine the complexity of ATP inquiry.
The ATP flag indicates what kind of ATP check to performed to a particular item.
There are 4 levels namely:
1. None
2. Material Only
3. Material and Transportation resources
4. Transportation resources only.
The value of ATP components flag indicates what kind of ATP check user want to
perform at the component level. Possible choices are:
1. Material Only
2. Resources Only
3. Material and Resources
4. None

ATP as a concept - Continued

While scheduling a line which has the item whose ATP_CHECK flag = Y, the
system will:
1. Find a ship from location (using Sourcing Rules) for the item if the ship
from location is not already defaulted on the line.
2. Check the availability of the item from that warehouse. If available,
return that warehouse. If not, find another warehouse using the Sourcing
Rules. Continue this until you find a warehouse or till no more sourcing
rules exists
3. If the item is not available on the request date, or within the acceptable
range, the system will error out and display a message to indicate that the
date could not be met.
While scheduling a line which has the item whose ATP_CHECK flag = N, the
system will:
1. Find a ship from location if the ship from location is not already defaulted
on the line.
2. Copy the request date into the field of schedule date without any ATP CHECK.
For ATP = N items, the item is always considered to be available. The user will
get back a message ATP not applicable and the Available date will be the Request
Date and the Available Quantity will be the ordered quantity.

Types of ATP and its concepts

1.

What types of GOP/ATP can be performed with:

a.
ODS data (no ASCP Plan) which uses the profile setting: INV:
Capable to Promise = ATP Based on Collected Data?

b.
PDS data (generated by an ASCP Plan) which uses the profile
setting: INV:Capable to Promise = ATP/CTP Based on Planning Data?
2.

Where can I do the different types of GOP/ATP checks?

Types of ATP - Continued

The table below indicates which types of ATP can be performed with ODS and PDS data
Note: When PDS data is used, BUT no Planning Data is found for an item, then ATP automatically
reverts to the ODS data to provide an answer.
This usually means that the EITHER the Plan was NOT run using the Plan Option - Planned Items = All Planned Items;
OR the item was not setup correctly.
Therefore, the types of ATP answer that is produced is based on the capabilities of ODS data, not PDS data.
ODS

Single Level Supply Chain ATP

Product Family ATP

ODS = Operational Data Store (Collected Data)

PDS = Planning Data Store (Planning Data)

Multi-Level/Multi-Org - ATO and PTO configuration ATP

Enhanced ATP Capabilities

Single Level Supply Chain ATP also uses sourcing rules and in-transit
lead times
Demand Class ATP using a separate MPS for each Demand Class
Product Family ATP using Product Family Supply in MPS

ATP Inquiry at Order Header Level

Override ATP feature

Profile Option that can be set at Site, Responsibility and User levels
Flag on Sales Order Line
Generates over-committed exception in ASCP
Profile Option to trigger notification to Planner

ATP and Scheduling

Global Order Promising

Sourcing Rules between Customer Ship Tos/ Regions and Shipping

Organizations, to default Shipping Org onto the Sales Order
Uses in-transit lead times for different shipping methods between Customer
Zones/Regions and Internal Locations to determine availability from required
arrival date
End Item Substitution, if primary item not available

Automatic Rescheduling in 11.5.10

Shipping Organization, Scheduled Ship/Arrival Date and Shipping Method can

change upon running ASCP Plan
Need to have every warehouse as Shipping Organization
Have Option to freeze Shipping Organization on Sales Order

Global ATP

Global ATP during Scheduling

While auto-scheduling or manual scheduling, Warehouse or Shipping

Org defaults automatically on Sales Order line depending on
preferences for the region/ customer site and availability

Other possible sources of supply are displayed could be alternate

shipping orgs or alternate shipping methods

No more entering of Warehouse or Shipping Org on Sales Order line

Global ATP during ATP Inquiry

While performing ATP Inquiry, Warehouse or Shipping Org defaults

automatically depending on preferences for the customer site/ region
and availability

Other possible sources of supply are displayed could be alternate

shipping orgs or alternate shipping methods

Global Order Promising Allocated ATP

Allocated ATP

Define hierarchies for allocation using one of 2 hierarchy types

Demand Class 1 Level

Customer Class 3 Level

Define one of 2 methods to allocate supply to members of hierarchies

User Defined Allocation Percentages at each level of hierarchy; time-phased

Demand Priority on Sales Order and MDS entries

Assign allocation rules (containing hierarchies with user defined

percentages) to Items or Item Categories at Organization or Global level
Allocation Stealing and Forward Scheduling

Define priorities between members at each level of a allocation hierarchy

Steal from Lower Priority Customer or Sales Channel to meet Requested Ship Date

If still not available, does CTP to meet Requested Ship Date

If still not available, looks at nearest Scheduled Receipt or Production or nearest CTP Date
possible (better date out of these 2 methods)

ATP for Drop ship orders

Sources of Supply (Drop Ship) for Sales Orders

External Sources or Vendors Contract Mfrs, Non Consignment

ODMs

Challenges addressed with ATP from external sources

Scheduling not possible with Oracle Vendor Drop Ship Sales

Orders

ATP requires an Organization for Supply and Demand

Cannot use any of the internal sources to include the supply and
demand related to external sources distorts the ATP of the
internal sources

Need for separate organization or organizations for external

sources

ATP with OM Integration

Use Schedule Limits for some customers
For defining date range tolerance for scheduling a sales order line
Set Earliest Schedule Limit and Latest Schedule Limit at Customer
Header and/or Customer Site
These dates translate to Earliest Acceptable Date and Latest
Acceptable Date on Sales Order Lines; they can be overridden
Remove these dates from the customer dates customization and capture them in the
sales order line

Option at OU level to honor or not honor the Latest Acceptable Date

Recommendation for AMR set system to honor the latest acceptable
limit, due to presence of penalties by Retail customers
For other regions, there is no real need to use this feature

ATP with OM Scheduling

Use Scheduling on Arrival Date for some customers
In transit Lead-time from Warehouses or Shipping Orgs to Zones, Regions or
Customer Sites
Request Date Type set as Arrival in Customer Header and/ or Customer Site
Requested Date becomes Requested Arrival Date
Promised Date becomes Promised Arrival Date
2 Schedule Date fields
Scheduled Ship Date
Scheduled Arrival Date

Recommended for Retail Customer/ Customer Sites in AMR where Customer

Dates customization is being used
