ATP : Customer/Material Specific ATP Check -> overruling MAD

[wim_teughels]

Hey all,

Situation

We have a business rule where some customers will need to get an 21 day's order leadtime, regardless of requested delivery date. so, if a customer orders a given product today, for delivery next week....SAP/ATP needs to overrule the MAD and set it to : Today +21 day's., then start counting the day's it requires to deliver it to the customer (route).

The business rule is only valid for certain customers AND materials.

Question :

Can this be achieved with SAP standard config or is this user exit ....?

Any ideas how this can be achieved?

Many thanks

Hi Wim,

You may try looking at changing the transit time of your route. Assuming your pick/pack time and loading time to be 2 days, consider entering the transit time of your route to 19 days. I suggest the transit time of the route because you can easily relate this to your ship-to customers.

I hope this helps.

Hi Arnel, thank you for your reply...

we were also thinking about using the route, adding the required day's to the transit leadtime...however, this would still result in an incorrect Material Availability Date. The customer would still get an MAD of today, then ATP would perform forward scheduling and add the 21 day's leadtime to it...

What we were looking for is to get ATP perform a committment where the MAD = today +21 day's...

Not sure if the route would solve that...

But thanks for the suggestion!

Hi,

Not sure whether the following would help your situation.

Trying to use the user exits

1) EXIT_SAPLATPC_001 (Processing Requirements Table Before Calling Actual Check) or

2) EXIT_SAPLATPC_002 (Processing Results of Actual Check).

These are available in the exit names ATP00001.

Since you have mentioned about only for specific materials and specific customers this additional date rule applies, you can think about using any of the additional available fields like Customer master -> Sales area data -> Extras -> Customer grp1 to 5 fields and/or with material master -> sales: sales org2->material group1 to material group5 fields to store the additional days.

The user exit can check this field and add the days to calculate the MAD.

Wim,

Such a functionality for specific customers, cannot be made possible just by configuration. AC is controlled by the checking group, which is controlled through material master. Hence things are driven based on MMR.

If this has to be enabled, it can be enabled through user exits. There are lot of user exits available for AC. You can use one of them after discussing with ur developer, who can get the best user exit for you.
