• Component Name: Global Available-to-Promise

• Description: Structure of data objects. In an ATP time series, the receipt, requirements and stock elements are managed in aggregated time-based form. ATP time series are managed separately for each planning object combination of product/location/ account assignment/planning segment and updated when changes are made to this planning object. Aggregation occurs on a daily basis; it is not possible to change the period. Below the planning object, the individual ATP time series is uniquely identified by a key consisting of category, sublocation, version and, in the case of the characteristics-based product availability check, by a valuated characteristics combination represented by a GUID.
