"ATP Categories" tab on the CTM:Global Customizing Settings screen

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I want to understand the usage of the "ATP Categories" tab on the CTM:Global Customizing Settings screen (/SAPAPO/CTMCUST).

Where do we make use of the settings on this screen for the CTM run. The screen talks about the "Subsititute categories for PP/DS with" , "Planning are for SNP categories", "Subsitute categories for SNP with", etc. Pls elaborate the functionalities of these parameters. Any document on the same will be highly appreciated.

Based on my understanding the ATP tab does the equivalent of key figure function in a planning book for Heuristics. It helps CTM identify the various types of demand and receipt categories - to give a differential treatment to the same. It gives ability to also leverage many business-rule specific features/functionalities like substitution.CTM can be run for PPDS detailed planning and rought cut bucket planning for SNP. The planning functions of PPDS and SNP thus require different ATP categories for being able to discriminate between the two.
