Available to promise (ATP) features are used across various modules in the Oracle E-Business Suite to determine demand/supply patterns. You can define ATP Rules and assign them as defaults at the organization, subinventory, or item level. For information about defining ATP rules,

   To define optional ATP and Picking defaults:

1. Navigate to the Organization Parameters window.

2. Select the ATP, Pick, Item-Sourcing tab.

3. Select a default ATP rule.

   ATP rules define the options the system uses to calculate the available to promise quantity of an item. If you are using Oracle Order Management, the default is the ATP rule for the Master organization.

   Attention: Available to promise (ATP) features are used across various modules in the Oracle E-Business Suite to determine demand/supply patterns. You can define ATP Rules and assign them as defaults at the organization, subinventory, or item level. For information about defining ATP rules, see Defining ATP Rules.

4. Select a default picking rule.

   Picking rules define the priority that Order Management functions use to pick items.

   Attention: This rule will not be employed in a WMS enabled organization. The WMS picking rules will be used. See Defining Default Inventory Parameters.

5. Enter a default subinventory picking order.

   This value indicates the priority with which you pick items from a subinventory, relative to another subinventory, in which a given item resides. The value that you enter appears as the default when you define a subinventory.

6. Enter a default locator picking order.

   This value indicates the priority with which you pick items from a locator, relative to another locator, where a given item resides. The value you that enter appears as the default when you define a locator.

   Attention: A picking order of 1 means that order management functions pick items from that subinventory or locator before others with a higher number (such as 2, 3, and so on).

7. Select the Pick Confirmation Required check box if you want your pickers to manually pick confirm. If you do not select the check box, then pick confirmation occurs automatically.

   Attention: For Oracle Warehouse Management to dispatch picking tasks to users, this check box should be deselected in Warehouse Management enabled organizations.

8. Select Overpicking for Manufacturing Enabled to allow operators to over pick components and ingredients for WIP jobs and process batches.

9. Select Overpicking for Transfer Orders Enabled to allow over allocation for move orders.

10. Select Enable Rules Override for Lot-Level Reservation to allow a reservation to take priority over an allocation, if the reservation is fully detailed. This means that if an order has a reservation that includes all necessary details such as subinventory, locator, and lot, then the system uses this reservation instead of picking rules to create the allocation.

   To define optional Item Sourcing defaults:

1. Select the ATP, Pick, Item-Sourcing tab region.

2. Select a source type for item replenishment. The source types are as follows:

   Inventory: Replenish items internally from another subinventory in the same organization or another organization.

   Supplier: Replenish items externally, from a supplier you specify in Oracle Purchasing.

   None: No default source for item replenishment.

3. Select the organization used to replenish items.

   You must enter a value in this field if you selected Inventory in the Type field.

4. Select the subinventory used to replenish items.

   You must enter a value in this field if you selected your current organization in the Organization field. You cannot enter a value in this field if you selected Supplier in the Type field.

   To continue defining organization parameters:

1. Select the Inter-Organization Information tabbed region. See: Defining Inter-Organization Information.
