• Key Concepts: 
  Check date is a term used in SAP's SCM-APO-ATP Global Available-to-Promise (GATP) component. It is the date on which the system checks the availability of a material in the supply chain network. This date is used to determine whether a material can be delivered to a customer on time. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The check date is used to determine the availability of a material in the supply chain network. The system will check the availability of the material on this date and then determine if it can be delivered to the customer on time. The check date can be set manually or automatically by the system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to set the check date correctly in order to ensure that materials are available when needed. If the check date is set too far in advance, it may result in inaccurate availability information. It is also important to keep track of changes in availability over time, as this can affect delivery times. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The check date is closely related to other concepts such as lead time and delivery time. Lead time is the amount of time it takes for a material to be delivered from its source to its destination, while delivery time is the amount of time it takes for a customer to receive their order. Understanding these concepts can help ensure that materials are available when needed and that customers receive their orders on time.
