ATP Buckets Setting: Buckets with receipts postponed by 12 Hr

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

sap has the below example for receipt buckets shifted by 12 hours, and not understand why issues of qty 36 is not reduced at current time for progressive logic, but at 12:01 today. can you please guide me how to make this out? Thank you!

BR, Mark

The bucket limit for issues is at 00:00, and the receipts are postponed 12 hours.

Representation of receipts and issues

Total receipts and issues for each bucket

Bucket	Issues	Receipts (postponed)
Today	12 + 17 + 7 = 36	12 + 19 = 31
Tomorrow	4 + 7 + 5 = 16	9 + 14 + 5 = 28

ATP quantity for specific times depending on the conservative, progressive, and exact logic

Time	Conservative logic	Progressive logic	Exact logic
Current time	30	30 + 31 = 61	30
12:01 today	30 + 31 – 36 = 25	61 + 28 – 36 = 53	30 + 12 – 12 + 19 – 17 = 32
23:00 today	25	53	32 + 9 – 7 = 34
04:00 tomorrow	25	53 – 16 = 37	34 – 4 – 7 = 23
12:00 tomorrow	25 + 28 – 16 = 37	37	23 + 14 + 5 = 42
23:00 tomorrow	37	37	42 – 5 = 37

Hello Quanyin,

I am confused with your example. Which strategy are you using in your production and can you help me understand if you're seeing a problem with Progressive bucket strategy ? Or is it something to do with some other stratey ?

Hi,

If I am not wrong you are talking about this example mentioned in the link

Valuation of Receipts and Issues in Buckets - Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP) - SAP Library

there it has been clearly mentioned "The bucket limit for issues is at 00:00, and the receipts are postponed 12 hours" (as per link). This means the bucket are getting postponed by 12hrs so why would it do at current time.

Regards

Rahul
