Answer

Q What is the difference between ATP check and availability
check how these reflect in sales order (which check system
considers) what are the IMG settings for the same

? ATP is know as available to promise quantities and it is
calculated as below.

Ware house stock + planned receipts ? Planned issues = ATP
quantities.

Ex1. 100 + 50 -75 = 75 is ATP Quantity

Any remaining open quantity in the movement is regarded as
the ATP quantity and can be used to fulfill the next
requirement.
Ex2. 25 + 100 -150 = -25 ATP Quantity,
In this case the system try to capture the stock from other
inward movement and try and match the order quantity 150.and
even this is not available and partially met then the system
shows the negative ATP Quantities in the requirement line.
? During the availability check the system determines the
ATP quantities for the material and the pant.
? The system behaves in performing the availability check
based on how the availability check is set in customizing.
? This can be viewed in the sales order ? over view screen ?
procurement and you can see the confirmed quantity and ATP
Quantity.
