ATP rule

• The ATP rule is determined from the material master in MRP 3,

Availability check field (Checking Group for Availability Check)
• The value is copied from the material master into the sales order.
• The checking rule is hardcoded into SAP, for
• Sales order = A
• Delivery = B
• The combination of the Checking Group and Checking rule will
determine the various factors to consider in ATP

Note: The ATP checking rule can be “overridden” via a user exit if required for a business
process. For example, an “emergency” order could use a ATP rule that allows the user of
reserve stock, while normal orders do not.

ATP configuration

For the configuration, we are going to look at

• Define Checking Groups
• Carry Out Control For Availability Check
• Define Procedure For Each Schedule Line Category
• Determine Procedure For Each Delivery Item Category

changed and only release when if the document is
deleted - delivery
