 Sales in a Make-to-Order EnvironmentJörg Thomas Dickersbach () Chapter 16 in Supply Chain Management with SAP APO¿, 2009, pp 325-339 from Springer Abstract: Abstract Usually ATP is looking at existing or planned receipts. In a make-to-order environment there are no receipts per definition. The idea of an ATP check is therefore not to check whether there are receipts for the requested product but whether there is enough available capacity to produce the product and/or whether the required components are available. In SAP APO™ there are mainly three approaches to tackle these tasks, depending on the business requirements: Capable-to-promise (CTP) allows to check for free capacity and optionally for available components as well based on simulative planned orders Multi-level ATP (ML-ATP) checks components according to the ATP settings based on infinitely scheduled simulative planned orders ATP check against allocations, where the allocations represent an aggregated capacity. 17 Figure 16.1 provides an overview about the approaches and their properties. If neither capacity nor components are a bottleneck, it might be appropriate to use a checking horizon for the ATP check instead.
