• Key Concepts: 
  Attribute determination is a feature of the SAP Available-to-Promise (ATP) component that allows users to define and manage attributes for products and services. Attributes are characteristics that can be used to differentiate products and services, such as color, size, or material. Attribute determination allows users to define the attributes of a product or service and then use those attributes to determine the availability of the product or service. 
  
  How to Use It: 
  Attribute determination is used in conjunction with the ATP component to determine the availability of a product or service. When a customer requests a product or service, the ATP component will check the attributes of the requested item against the attributes defined in attribute determination. If the attributes match, then the product or service is available; if not, then it is not available. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up attribute determination, it is important to ensure that all relevant attributes are included. This will ensure that customers can accurately determine whether a product or service is available. Additionally, it is important to keep attribute determination up-to-date so that customers can always get accurate information about availability.
