GoLive | GoLogistics | Advanced Available-to-Promise (SAP aATP)

The SAP-certified GoLogistics | GoLive Advanced Logistics Solution helps improve on-time delivery performance, reduce stock and transportation costs, and efficiently manage warehouse processes.

The SAP Advanced Available-To-Promise (SAP aATP) module, which is part of GoLogistics and enables the optimization of all processes from order to delivery, provides responses to order fulfillment inquiries in sales and production planning.

It also ensures the alignment of supply and demand. In addition, this module improves service levels through the timely delivery of orders and order fulfillment inquiries.

GoLogistics works off current stock status as well as future, expected, or planned stock information.

The module takes concurrent orders into consideration, using intelligent and automatic selections to approve by considering alternative factories and substitute materials.

GoLogistics can be applied in additional constraints based on any other order attributes.

GoLogistics generates confirmation proposals for the requested material based on the specified quantity and time.

What can you accomplish with SAP Advanced Available-To-Promise?

Product Availability Check (PAC)

The PAC function in S/4HANA can be used to determine the date and quantity at which a specific demand can be fulfilled, based on a specific check rule and the current supply status of a material.

Processing Unfulfilled Orders (BOP)

When a product is out of stock and a prioritized customer places an order, the Processing Unfulfilled Orders function is used to handle the situation by revisiting the open orders of non-prioritized customers, canceling their approvals, and allocating the remaining stock to the prioritized customer.

Product Allocation (PAL)

With PAL, control mechanisms can be implemented to prevent critical demand and supply situations. Thus, production can be kept at the minimum level, enabling quick responses to changing market conditions and bottlenecks.

Alternative-Based Confirmation (ABC)

ABC is used to find alternatives for a requested order when the quantity of a material in the material-plant pair is not sufficient to fulfill the initial request.

Confirmation for Delivery (RefDy)

Fiori-based interactive changes can be made to order confirmations before orders are dispatched.

Stock Protection (SUP) and Product Substitution

SUP is used to maintain the quantity of a product and prioritize any lead. A specific quantity of a product can be allocated for special groups.
