Setting the ATP Action Parameter in Quote & Order Business Components Properties

Employees launch product availability from a Quote or Order business component at either the header level or the line level. The Quote or Order business component defines the method to be used to invoke the ATP Check ASI. This method is one of those listed in Table 10, depending on whether the user clicked a button to Inquire, Reserve, or Unreserve.

Customers using Siebel eSales launch product availability from the Quote business component. The Quote business component defines the method ATPInquireAll, which invokes the ATP Check ASI.

You must make sure that the value of the ATP Action Parameter in the user property defining the ATPInquireAll method in both the Quote and Order business components matches the commands expected by the ATP engine.

However, if your ATP engine expects different commands, you can change them in Siebel Tools.

The following procedure shows you how to make changes to the ATP Action parameter for the method ATPInquireAll. You can use these as a model to make changes to any of the other ATP methods, as appropriate.

NOTE:  If the middleware handles this mapping, then you do not need to change this ATP Action Parameter. For example, if the middleware knows that ATP Action = Inquire in your Siebel application, and that ATP Action = Check in your fulfillment engine, the middleware provides the mapping.

This task is a step in Process of Setting Up Third-Party Product Availability Applications.
