ATP vs. aATP

Available to Promise (ATP) compared to advance Available to Promise (aATP)
  • Overview: Traditional ATP functionality provides basic inventory availability checking based on predefined stock levels. This method confirms orders based solely on whether current stock can meet demand, with limited options for order prioritization or reallocation.
  • Static Data Use: ATP relies on static stock data without real-time updates from multiple supply chain stages, which can lead to less flexibility in response to sudden demand shifts or stock shortages.
  • Limitation in Complex Scenarios: In high-volume, dynamic environments, ATP can be inadequate as it doesn’t account for complex demand patterns, back-order prioritization, or alternative fulfilment routes. Companies may struggle with last-minute changes in supply or demand, making it challenging to meet customer expectations in volatile markets.
  • Basic Order Confirmation: ATP supports only basic order confirmation processes, often leading to stock-outs or overselling during demand surges, as it lacks visibility into upcoming inventory or planned production.
