Checking Availability Fulfillment Methods

For the integration to work, you must check that your ATP engine supports the Inquire, Reserve, and Unreserve methods. If your ATP engine refers to these methods with different terms, you may need to do some configuration to map the method names.

For customers to check availability using Siebel eSales, you must find a method that is supported by your ATP engine and that checks availability without reserving it. The Inquire method is one possible example. You may want to check other supported methods, such as Reserve and Unreserve, to see how you can extend your availability checking function.
