• Key Concepts: 
  Custom sort sequence is a feature of the SAP CA-ATP Available-to-Promise (ATP) component that allows users to define their own sorting criteria for ATP checks. This feature enables users to prioritize certain criteria when determining the availability of materials and services. For example, a user may choose to prioritize certain suppliers or certain delivery dates when performing an ATP check. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the custom sort sequence feature, users must first define the sorting criteria they wish to prioritize. This can be done in the Customizing application for the ATP component. Once the sorting criteria have been defined, users can then perform an ATP check using the custom sort sequence. The results of the check will be based on the sorting criteria that was defined. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining a custom sort sequence, it is important to consider all of the criteria that may affect the availability of materials and services. This includes factors such as supplier reliability, delivery dates, and cost. By taking all of these factors into account, users can ensure that they are getting the most accurate results from their ATP checks.
