ATP Rules

An available-to-promise (ATP) rule is a condition that you specify to tell Promising what to search. It helps you to identify what supply is available in your supply chain that Promising can use to promise an item.

You can specify:

• Where to get supply, such as supply that's already on hand, from a supplier through a purchase order, or from a factory through a work order.
• What demand the rule can fulfill, such as to fulfill demand from a fulfillment line.

You assign your ATP rule to an item, item organization, organization, or category. You use the assignment to promise each item differently.
