Available To Promise

Updated

Summary 

The Available To Promise screen is a screen dedicated towards trying to help determine how much of a given assembly you will be able to promise on a given day. This article walks through the various columns and dialogs on this screen. 

Column Description 

Plan Summaries

Start viewing data by clicking the "Filters" button and entering any filters you wish.  In the resulting list, StockIQ will show all items that involved in a BoM in some way.

Clicking an entry will cause detail to be shown in the ATP Detail grid below.

Any rows showing an alert icon are indicating that the plan is "At Risk" and cannot be executed based on current component quantities.  

In addition to the usual item and site columns, some additional columns are shown about your assemblies:

  • BoM Level - Numeric indicator showing what level of the BoM the product is.  Bom Level 0 means it is at the very top level of the BoM (no assemblies above it), and numbers increase from there.  If an item exists at multiple levels of a bom, the lowest level is shown.
  • BoM Position - Shows if this item is a top level finished assembly, a mid-level assembly, or a bottom-level component.
  • Order Qty - Order quantity currently requested in Place Orders for this item.
  • Receipt Date - What the proposed receipt date for that quantity would be.
  • Inventory Position -  The assembly's current inventory position
  • Inventory Pos @ LT - Inventory position at lead time if all suggestions are followed (and executable)
  • Planning LT - over end-to-end lead time for this item.
  • Order Policy - The current active order policy for this item.
  • On Hand Quantity - current on hand quantity of this item, including replacements.
  • Safety Stock - Active safety stock quantity for this item.
  • Component Of - How many items of which this part is directly a component.
  • Components - How many parts are directly below this item in the BoM

Detail Tabs

ATP Detail

The lower grid of this window shows the detailed day-by-day Available To Promise quantities for the assembly that you select in the top grid.

The requested order quantity shown, if any, is the quantity that StockIQ believes needs to be assembled of the item currently.  If SIQ has no current replenishment requests, this will be zero.  Associated with the requested order quantity is the requested-by date.  This date will be filled in with the receipt date of the order that needs to be completed.

In both of these boxes, you can fill in your own values to simulate the effects of requests further out in the future, and then click the "Run ATP" button.

The ATP Detail grid displays the items involved in the BoM for the item you have selected, including the item itself as the top row of the ATP Detail grid.

  • Item - Part number for the assembly or component
  • Site - Site for the associated assembly or component
  • Supplier Code - Primary Supplier code at which assembly is done, or PO's are issued.
  • Quantity-Per - The CUMULATIVE quantity-per for this component of your top-level item.  For example, if you have an assembly A that uses 2ea of a component B, and *that* component uses 3ea of Component C, the line for Component C would show the cumulative Qty Per of 6.0
  • At Risk Quantity - How much of the top level item requested order quantity is at risk of not being able to be built, based on the available to promise quantity of the component.
  • Plan State -  Will show if this line is OK or At Risk of not being able to execute based on the on hand and available to promise levels.
  • BoM Level - Shows the BoM level for the component in question.
  • Current Position - 
  • On Hand Qty - Shows the on-hand quantity of the line
  • Total Available To Promise - Total available to promise of this component, adjusted by the cumulative quantity per, e.g. (Total Available To Promise of Component / Quantity Per).  This gives you an idea of how much of the parent can be built from the available to promise of this component, and means that all lines on the grid are shown in terms of quantities of the item you clicked on, not their various usage amounts.  Thus, you can easily visualize which components are the limiting factor in being able to produce your assembly, if any.
