Item Attributes that Affect Scheduling
Several item attributes affect scheduling orders. You set item attributes for each item when you define or update the item.
Set this attribute to Yes to require an ATP inquiry on the item any time demand is placed for the item on an order line. This attribute controls scheduling of high demand or short lead time items to ensure that you do not promise more than you are able to supply in a given time.
If the item is also sold as a component in a bill, this attribute can also be set for the bill of material using the Bills of Material window. If the item attribute Check ATP is set to No, Oracle Order Entry/Shipping ignores the bill attribute for that particular item and does not check ATP. If the item Check ATP attribute is set to Yes, whenever the item is sold in the bill, Oracle Order Entry/Shipping considers the bill attribute. For example, if the item is sold as a component of a bill and separately as a spare part, you may want to check ATP when the item is sold as a spare part, but not when it is sold as a part of the bill. To accomplish this, set the item attribute to Yes and the bill of material attribute to No.
Set this item attribute to Yes to indicate that the item has a bill of material structure containing components that require ATP checking whenever demand is placed. When you place demand for the item, Oracle Order Entry/Shipping searches downward in the bill for components with the Check ATP attribute set to Yes, and includes them all in the ATP check. The ATP Components item attribute is effective only for ATO and PTO items.
This item attribute indicates whether the item is transactable in Order Entry/Shipping. This attribute must be set to Yes if you want to place demand for an item and if you want shipments of the item to be interfaced to Oracle Inventory. Each time you place demand for an order line or group of lines, only those with OE Transactable set to Yes are demanded.
This item attribute indicates whether you can create a material reservation for the item. If the attribute is set to Reservable, reservations can be created only when you have enough on-hand available inventory to support the reservation.
Note: If an item is not reservable, but a user tries to reserve it, Oracle Order Entry/Shipping places demand for the order line instead, and the message line displays Scheduling Success.
The profile option OE: Reservations must be set to Yes for Order Entry/Shipping to recognize this attribute setting.
If this item attribute is set to Yes, the configuration is released for shipment only if all associated order lines are eligible and not on hold, and full sets of the reservable, shippable components, including the model, options, and included items, are available. A kit can be released only when full sets of the shippable components, meaning the kit and its included items, are available.
If the profile option OE: Reservations is set to Yes, Order Entry/ Shipping validates eligibility, holds, and availability for the shippable components. If the profile option is set to No, Order Entry/Shipping validates eligibility and holds, but not product availability.
This item attribute must be set to Yes for Order Entry/Shipping to release an order line for the item, for the item to appear on the pick slip, and to allow ATP inquiries.
