During ATP check, can "special" stock be confirmed against incoming Purchase Orders?

Customer has ordered an MTO part that we are ordering from our supplier.  The PO item with arrive 1 month from today.

Even though the scope of check is set to consider POs, the PO isn't showing in ATP overview (w/ checking rule "AE") and the user can't confirm based  on this incoming quantity.

Please advise.  Thanks.

I don't think it's possible,

Checking rule AE / BE means that, the system is checking against special stock E (order stock).When checking, system will check for specific order stock (with stock number, SO number and item number).

In PO, there is only special stock indicator E, but no special stock information.

Only when PGR, you can recieve the stock into special stock E with special stock number (order + item number).

That's why.
