• Key Concepts: 
  ATP tree structure is a component of SAP's Global Available-to-Promise (GATP) module. It is used to determine the availability of materials and resources for a given order. The ATP tree structure is a hierarchical representation of the supply chain, with each node representing a different level of the supply chain. The tree structure is used to calculate the availability of materials and resources at each level of the supply chain, and to determine the best way to fulfill an order. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The ATP tree structure is used to calculate the availability of materials and resources for a given order. The tree structure is used to determine the best way to fulfill an order, by taking into account the availability of materials and resources at each level of the supply chain. The ATP tree structure can be used to identify potential bottlenecks in the supply chain, and to optimize inventory levels. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the ATP tree structure, it is important to consider all levels of the supply chain. This includes not only the availability of materials and resources at each level, but also any potential bottlenecks or delays that may occur. Additionally, it is important to consider any potential changes in demand or supply that may affect the availability of materials and resources. 
  
  Related Information:
