hi siva,

Iterative, step-by-step availability checking process driven by self-defined rules. The results of one step determine, in conjunction with certain predefined parameters, whether the availability check should be continued.

Example:

1. Is the product available at this location?

2. If not, is an alternative product available at this location?

3. If not, is this product available at a different location?

4. If not, is an alternative product available at an alternative location?

5. If not, production is triggered.

Rules-based ATP uses the advanced availability checking methods.

Rule based ATP is mainly used for APOs.

The availability check is controlled by means of the same elements as the transfer of requirements:

Requirements class

Requirements type

Checking group

Checking rule

Schedule line category

Strategy group

Planning strategy

Requirements

Process the following points to control the availability check:

1. For the sales document types you must determine for each schedule line type whether an availability check should be carried out or not.

2. The availability check should be switched on at requirements class level and at schedule line level for sales documents.

3. You can define a checking group which can be proposed, depending on the material type, when a new material master record is created.

4. The requirements types used must each be allocated to a requirements class.

5. Note that a plant must be available if an availability check is to be carried out at document item level.
