GATP : dynamic rule determination

Hi,

Can anyone help me with setting up dynamic rule determination?

Business scenario :

Depending upon stock level and customer priority we have to determine which rule will be triggered.

Thanks

Sap_per,

You have given a very generic question, so here is a generic answer.

It is not usually beneficial to use stock level in the determination process. You use your rules to point to the 'thing' you wish to check (eg, location, product, version). You perform the ATP on this 'thing'. If the order is confirmed, you stop additional checking. If the order cannot be confirmed, or is only partially confirmed, then you move onto the next 'thing'. Iterate until you run out of options. In this way, items with high levels of free stock or excess receipts are depleted, automatically.

Customer priority is a standard field in the RBA GATP field catalog, and is commonly used in rule determination. However, remember that GATP performs an availability check during order entry one requirement at a time. It generally will not confirm the order if the check fails, even if the reason that the check fails is that a lower priority customer's requirements were previously confirmed against some existing stock. Most companies use BackOrderProcessing to 're-order' customer confirmations by customer priority, if it is necessary to take stock from one customer and give to a higher priority customer.
