| rules-based ATP check (SCM-APO-ATP) |
Iterative, step-by-step availability checking process driven by self-defined rules. The results of one step determine, in conjunction with certain predefined parameters, whether the availability check should be continued.
1. Is the product available at this location?
2. If not, is an alternative product available at this location?
3. If not, is this product available at a different location?
4. If not, is an alternative product available at an alternative location?
5. If not, production is triggered.
Rules-based ATP uses the advanced availability checking methods.
