Global ATP Check vs APO

[Former Member]

Hello All,

Two questions about the Global ATP check :

1. Could i get documentation about this functionnality? How does it work? What does the Global ATP check allows us to do?

2. Is it possible to get the Global ATP check without APO?

Thanks for your answer.

The end objective of GATP is the same as that of regular ECC ATP - provide customers with committed dates and quantities. Having said that, GATP provides a HUUUGE improvement in functionality compared to the ECC ATP check - for example, rules based ATP check for product/ location substitution, multi-level ATP check, capable-to promise, etc.

Because of these dramatic improvements in functionality, GATP has the potential to do a lot more than order promising - depending on the business requirement, it can reduce inventory, improve customer service, improve fill rates, ....

GATP is executed in the APO system and is a module of APO. Best place to start with documentation is SAP help.
