7. Oracle’s ATP Flavors
• Setup via profile “INV: Capable to Promise”
– ATP based on Collected Data (ODS)
• Single Level ATP
• Supports simple supply chain
– ATP/CTP based on Planning Data (PDS)
• Single Level ATP
• CTP across supply chain using Sourcing/BOM/Routings
• Based on ASCP plan in APS
• Supports complex supply chain model
8. Collection Based ATP (ODS)
• Single Level ATP in requested org/ Global ATP
• Need to run “Data Collection”
– Complete
– Net Change
• ATP Rule determines:
– Supply/Demand to be included
– Infinite Supply Fence
• May use a Supply Schedule, e.g., MPS
9. Planning Based ATP (PDS)
• Promise orders based on:
– Material availability
– Manufacturing capacity
– Supplier capacity
– End-Item/Component Substitution
– Product Family
– Infinite Supply Time Fence
• Manage commitments to key customers
– Re-schedule and re-sequence your backlog
10. Planning Based ATP (PDS)
• Global statement of availability
– All facilities, material, resources, and suppliers
– Region-Based Sourcing
– Summary Based ATP
• Allocate available supply
– By channel, customer, or product
– Priority and stealing rules
– Time phased
11. GOP Setup
• Profile Options
• ATP Flag Setup
• Sourcing/ BOM/ Routings
• ATP Rule
– Time Fence

13. Concurrent Request/Set
• System Administrator Responsibility
– Gather Schema Statistics
– Create APS Partitions
• OM Responsibility – For ODS ATP (no APS)
– ATP Data Collection
– Load ATP Summary Based on Collected Data
14. Concurrent Request/Set
• Run from Advanced Supply Chain Planner Responsibility
– Planning Data Collection
– Launch ASCP Plan
– Create ATP Partitions (Only during upgrade)
– ATP Post Plan Process
– Refresh Allocation Hierarchy Materialized View
– Analyze Plan Partitions
16. Global Availability - Example
Customer1, Site1
Requests
Item A
A/Org1 (M1) A/Org2 (M2)
Rank 1 Rank 2
Type Org/Sup Percent Rank
Transfer M1 100% 1
Transfer M2 90% 2
Sourcing Rule(SR-A)
Type Item SR
Item A SR-A
Assignment Set
Org Day10 Day11 Day12 Day13
M1 80 85 90 100
M2 90 95 100 110
Cum ATP
ATP Request Info: Request Qty 100, Request Date Day10, Latest Acceptable Date Day12
ATP Result: Qty 100 from M2 on Day12
17. Global Availability
• Availability Information across warehouses
• Best option based on
– Availability
– Rank
• Sourcing via Region-based rules
• Computes Delivery LT and Ship/Arrival Date
• Supports calendar for
– Shipping
– Receiving
– Carrier/In-transit
18. Region Level Sourcing
• Multiple levels of Geographical Hierarchy
• Region based Inter-Location Transit times/ ship methods
for customer-site and shipping warehouse
• Enable sourcing/ lead time calculation for new customers
• Supports flexible hierarchical setup via assignment set/
sourcing rules
• Profiles
– MRP: ATP Assignment Set
– MSC: ATP Assignment Set
19. GOP with No Downtime (24X7 ATP)
• Zero downtime
– No downtime when underlying supply chain plan is refreshed
– No SO is lost, automatically re-promise SO against new plan
• Open, reliable, and scalable
– Engine runs inside the database, No memory models to load!
– Multi-threaded
– Integrated with OM, Quoting, iStore, etc.
– Easy integration with legacy systems
20. Capable to Promise (CTP) - Example
A (Customer 1, Site 1)
A (Org 2)
A (Org 1)
B (Org 2)
B (Org 1) R2 (Org 2)
R1 (Org 1)
B (Supplier 1) B (Supplier 2)
1 day lead-time 5 day lead-time
4 day lead-time
5 day lead-time
21. Capable to Promise (CTP)
• Increased order fill rate using extra manufacturing and
supplier capacity
• CTP finds availability using make/buy/transfer info by
request date (Backward Scheduling)
• Forward Scheduling involves look ahead CTP, determines
when orders for items can be fulfilled
• Recursive check against BOM
22. Allocated ATP
• Group/ Prioritize Customers per business need thru
– Demand Class
– Customer Class Hierarchy
• Material may be allocated to these groupings using
– Pre-defined allocation rules
– Forecast quantities as honored by ASCP Plan
• Stealing of supplies from lower priorities prior to CTP
• Ensure target supply to key customers
23. Allocated ATP
• Manage commitments to
key customers
• Allocate availability to
more profitable channels
24. End-Item Substitution
• Improved demand fulfillment/ inventory utilization
• Supports
– Single or Bi-directional Substitution, chaining
– Time phased Substitution, substitution window
– Rule Based/ Customer Specific substitution
• Availability of Requested vs. Substitute Item
• CTP for Requested vs. Substitute item
• Exception/ Workflow Notification for Item Substitution
• Stealing prior to Substitution with Allocated ATP
25. Product Family ATP
• 2 Flavors
– based on ATPable PF Item Only (Pre-11.5.10)
– using member item within Aggregate Time Fence and PF item
outside Aggregate Time Fence (11.5.10)
• Plan must contain PF Item as well
• Forecasting may be done either for PF or member item
• CTP will be done on member item, if needed, for time-
phased PF ATP
• Supports Allocated ATP
26. Supplier Capacity
• Supplier Capacity may be checked during CTP
– defined in ASL
– Infinite Capacity after last date in ASL
• Sourcing Rule/Assignment Set per ASCP Plan
• Creates Planned Orders for Supplier-Site in ASCP Plan
• Planned Orders may be released prior to next plan run
27. Resource Batching
• Batch process: Same work on multiple items for a pre-set
amount of time by same resource simultaneously, like heat
treatment, sand blasting, etc.
• Resources are constrained by product of time and weight
or volume, i.e., capacity multiplied by time.
• Only for constrained plans with routings
• Setup:
– Enable batchable flag, Capacity UOM in ERP
– Profile: “MSO: Global Batchable Flag” in APS
28. Summary Based ATP
• Supports enhanced performance with accuracy
• Profile: “MSC: Enable ATP Summary Mode”
• Post-plan process generates summarized data
• Run Concurrent program periodically for incremental
summary
29. GOP Computation
Netting
– Net Supply-Demand for a given day/time period
Backward Consumption
– Use surplus from past to cover existing shortage
Forward Consumption
– Use future surplus to cover existing shortage
Accumulation
– Carry over the availability
Stealing (for AATP)
– Steal supplies from lower priority tiers for new demands
34. Diagnostics – Setup
• Input Data
• Profile Options
• Item Attributes
• Regions/Zones
• Sourcing setup
• Lead Times
• Infinite Time Fence
• ATPable Plan Info
• BOM/ Routings
• Allocation Method/ Rule/
Percentage/ Priority
• Resource Batching
• End Item Substitutes
• Component Substitutes
35. Diagnostics – Debug/Trace File
• Set user profile (MSC: ATP Debug Mode) before invoking
ATP/ Scheduling as:
– Functional issues: “Debug Only”
– Performance: “DB Trace Only” or “Debug & DB Trace”
• Provide debug (session-<n>) or trace/tkprof file (from DB
trace location)
• Re-set profile to 'None' to avoid any performance issues
