• Key Concepts: 
  The Select Option Tool is a component of the SAP Available-to-Promise (ATP) module. It is used to define selection criteria for ATP checks. The selection criteria can be based on customer, material, plant, and other criteria. The Select Option Tool allows users to define multiple selection criteria and combine them with logical operators such as “AND” and “OR”. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The Select Option Tool can be accessed from the SAP Easy Access menu. Once in the tool, users can define selection criteria by entering values in the fields provided. The selection criteria can be combined with logical operators such as “AND” and “OR”. Once the selection criteria have been defined, users can save the selection option and use it for future ATP checks. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining selection criteria, it is important to remember that the more specific the criteria are, the more accurate the ATP check will be. For example, if a user wants to check availability for a specific customer, they should enter that customer’s name in the customer field instead of leaving it blank.
