ATP calculation

Example for Calculating ATP Quantity

Please see the following example for calculating the ATP quantity:

Two planned orders are planned for the following dates: On 10/4 for a receipt quantity of 100 pieces and
on 10/8 for a receipt quantity of 200 pieces. Sales orders exist for the following dates: On 10/7 for 50
pieces, on 10/9 for 100 pieces, and on 10/10 for 200 pieces.

The following illustrations show the calculation of the ATP quantities in the stock/requirements list:
In the upper section of the illustration in the Available Quantity column you can see the results of the net
requirements calculation. The planned order increases the quantity available to 100 pieces on 10/4. The
available quantity is reduced to 50 pieces on the delivery date of the sales order (10/7).

You can see the ATP quantity in the lower section of the illustration. Here, the system only displays the
receipts and in the ATP Quantity column, the ATP quantity for each receipt as well as the quantity of
goods issued which could not be covered by already existing receipts. In the first step, the system
reduces the existing planned order on 10/4 by 50 pieces because of the sales order on 10/7. This leaves
an ATP quantity from this planned order of 50 pieces that is open for other issues.
In the second step, the system creates another planned order for 200 pieces on 10/8.

You can see the results of the net requirements calculation in the upper section of the illustration, in the
Available Quantity column. The new planned order increases the available quantity to 250 pieces on 10/8.

Now, you can also see the ATP quantity of the new planned order in the lower section of the illustration.
This planned order quantity remains at the full amount, firstly because the sales order on 10/7 is
completely covered by the planned order on 10/4 and secondly because when calculating the ATP
quantity, issues can only be subtracted from receipts that lie before them on the time axis.
In the third step, the system creates another sales order for 100 pieces on 10/9.

You can see the results of the net requirements calculation in the upper section of the illustration, in the
Available Quantity column. The new sales order reduces the available quantity to 150 pieces on 10/9.

You can see the reduced ATP quantity from the planned order on 10/8 in the lower section of the
illustration. The sales order on 10/9 reduces the next receipt on the time axis by 100 pieces to 100 pieces.
The ATP quantity of the first planned order remains at 50 pieces.
In the fourth step, a further sales order for 200 pieces is planned for 10/10.

You can see the results of the net requirements calculation in the upper section of the illustration, in the
Available Quantity column. The new sales order reduces the available quantity to 50 pieces on 10/10.
This means that the sales order cannot be completely covered on this date.

In the lower section of the illustration, you can see that the new sales order on 10/10 has reduced the
remaining ATP quantities of the two existing planned orders. These planned orders are used up for the
new sales order and now both have an ATP quantity of 0.
The system displays the sales order with a remaining quantity of 50 pieces and the exception message
40, "Coverage not provided by master plan."
Using the dynamic availability check according to ATP logic, you can make sure that requirements that
have already been confirmed are not jeopardized by new issues.
