This post aims to describe the various components that are included, or excluded, from the ATP check based on the rules defined in the scope of check. A number of these options are fairly self explanatory, but some of them have caveats, behave differently based on other configuration choices, or are less than intuitive.

Hopefully this guide helps others in their review of ATP configuration. Some useful references are provided at the bottom of this document. All of the options in this area have the ability to impact the general stock quantity that is used to represent the current stock level at the plan and at the storage location level. In addition the Incl. This option prevents the subtraction of safety stock from available inventory.

In the example above Safety Stock would be checked. Stock in transfer should not be confused with stock in transit, that is used in the two step Stock Transfer Order process involving a Stock Transfer PO, Outbound Delivery, and subsequent goods receipt.

StockIn Transfer only applies to stock put into an in transit status, such as with a manual goods movement to place stock in transit between two storage locations or a to place stock in transit between two plants. With this box checked the quantity in transit is added to the stock line of the destination plant or storage location.

Without this checked the stock in transit is completely unavailable and ignored, both at the sending and receiving locations. For QM managed materials this will include Quality Inspection lots, maintained through transaction QA02, and will show the lot as available inventory on the Inspection End Date for the lot.

Each lot is separately listed with its MRP Element. For materials that are not QM managed this will include stock that is posted into Quality Inspection Stock. Quality inspection stock can be posted to manually through transaction like MB1C using standard movement types , , or Quality inspection stock is included as part of the total stock line that is available.

Includes stock that is in a block status, such as stock that is posted into Blocked Stock using movement type This inventory is represented as part of the total stock.

This does not impact material that is received into Goods Receipt Blocked Stock, such as material received with movement type Applies to batch inventory when batch status management is active. When this flag is checked then batches that have a restricted status are included along with the unrestricted.

With this flag checked stock provided to vendor is removed from the availability check. This also removes and requirements that the subcontracting process may place on component plant inventory, meaning that SubReq MRP Elements will not be reflected in Demand, this would have the greatest impact on a material that was both a subcontracting component for one process and itself a subcontracted material.

This will not impact the inclusion of the POitem or PurRqs elements related to a subcontracting PO being placed with a vendor. When unchecked then the system will calculate the replenishment lead time for the material.

When replenishment lead time is active only requirements that fall within the lead time are considered and everything that falls outside of RLT automatically confirms. Replenishment lead time is calculated differently for externally procured material and produced material, which is determined based on the Procurement Type of the material.

Materials with a procurement type of X are treated as produced materials for RLT purposes. The factory calendar for the plant is show to the right, with dates in green being non-working days. There are two different methods for calculating the RLT for produced materials.

Both of these methods use the factory calendar and are applied only to work days. The Total Replenishment lead time is 20 days. When the storage location is specified in a transaction then it is ignored when performing the ATP check. This means that if a plant has EA of inventory in storage location A, and a delivery is created for EA but specifying storage location WM01, then the ATP check will still be successful without storage location inspection. There are three options when including purchase orders, which include all forms of purchase orders, such as purchases from vendors, stock transfer orders, and inter-company stock transfers, and returns to vendor.

These options only apply to the receiving quantities for purchase orders. The outbound requirements for stock transfers are controlled through the Incl.

When purchase orders are included the ShpgNt is always considered, no matter which option is chosen in the Incl. GR processing time is calculated based on the factory calendar. The GR processing time is added to each of these dates. Includes the dependent requirements generated by the component demand of planned orders.

This is not to be confused with Production Order Component reservations, which controlled by the Incl.
