| temporary quantity assignment (SCM-APO-ATP) |
A delta record that reserves a particular quantity of a specific location product for the duration of a transaction.
Temporary quantity assignments are necessary for achieving consistent results when several users simultaneously check the same planning object during the product availability check.
The result of a check is saved as a temporary quantity assignment in liveCache, thereby reserving the confirmed quantity. The result is then taken into account by other checks. A quantity that has already been confirmed cannot therefore be reserved again by another check.
