Extending the ASI for Availability to Promise

If you want to extend the ASI, then you must add fields to the following objects:

• The External Integration object named ATP Check Interface

• The following Internal Integration objects:

  • ATP Check Interface Request - Quotes

  • ATP Check Interface Request - Orders

  • ATP Check Interface Response - Quotes

  • ATP Check Interface Response - Orders

This extension will create the necessary mapping between the ATP interface structure and the Siebel Quote and Order business components.

Note: If you make changes to these objects, then the names of the fields in the Internal and External integration objects must match.

If you add a field, then make sure that the names of the fields in the Internal and External integration objects match. For example, if you want to add the field Account DUNS# that maps on quote to Account DUNS#-quote and on order to Account DUNS#-order, then you would do so as shown in the following table.

Object Name	Integration Component Field Name	Integration Component External Name
ATP Check Interface	Account DUNS#	None
ATP Check Interface Request - Quotes	Account DUNS#	your mapping of Account DUNS # to the Quotes Business Component
ATP Check Interface Request - Orders	Account DUNS#	your mapping of Account DUNS # to the Orders Business Component

If there are fields that you do not want the fulfillment engine to be able to modify, such as Ship To Address Id, then add the NoUpdate Field user property to the internal response integration objects, as follows:

• ATP Check Interface Response - Quotes

  Integration Component Field:

  Name: Ship To Address Id

  External Name: your mapping of Ship To Address Id to the Quotes Business Component

  Integration Component Field User Property:

  Name: NoUpdate

  Value: Y

• ATP Check Interface Response - Orders

  Integration Component Field:

  Name: Ship To Address Id

  External Name: your mapping of Ship To Address Id to the Orders Business Component

  Integration Component Field User Property:

  Name: NoUpdate

  Value: Y
