ATP process in S/4HANA

Challenge

The organization needed to reliably calculate available dates per material with the Available to Promise (ATP) process when creating sales documents (orders and quotations) in one of its subsidiaries, on S/4HANA and SAP ECC. It also needed reports showing the status of those documents against material availability and delivery.

Solution

As the client expanded across Mexico and the Americas, it became clear that its systems were not aligned with SAP's standard business solution. Using CMMI, T&M built two intertwined processes to calculate available dates per material, with real-time verification of delivery plans, a LOG report on the delivery schedule and a function module that returns material availability for sales orders.

Results

• Better service and process control by monitoring the availability and delivery of the material supplied by the subsidiary.
• 100% improvement in service and process control by viewing delivery plans per material in ATP.
• Control over the availability of materials requested in customer purchase orders.
• Optimized search for raw material purchase orders between subsidiaries.
