ATP based on material and capacity availability

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Is there a way to implement ATP with finite capacity availability and material availability in a Make to stock (MTS) environment in R/3? In other words, when a sales order is created for a material, the confirmation date that is recd. should be based on Capacity and Material availability. What planning strategy would you use?

I understand that this can be implemented in assembled to order environment (planning strategy 82 or 83), but my question is more related to MTS environment.

Regards,

Praveen

Hi ,

Availability check is carried out during sales order processing

Materail requires availability check it needs to be done as follows.

In the Availability Check field on the Gen./Plant tab page in the material master,

enter which and/or what type of availability check should be carried out for this

material during order processing.

The material availability date is determined from delivery scheduling. On this

date, enough material has to be available in time for delivery to the customer for

their requested delivery date.

The system calculates this date, working backwards from the customer's required

delivery date.

The system calculates the time required for picking, packing, loading and

transporting the goods.

Availability check is carried in the following three ways .

1. Customer-Material Information

2. Ship-to party customer master record

3. Material master record
