• Key Concepts: 
  Event-driven quantity assignment is a feature of SAP's Global Available-to-Promise (ATP) component of the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. It allows for the automatic assignment of available quantities to customer orders based on predefined events. This helps to ensure that customer orders are fulfilled in a timely manner and that the right amount of stock is available for each order. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use event-driven quantity assignment, you must first define the events that will trigger the assignment. These events can include customer orders, stock movements, or other changes in inventory levels. Once these events are defined, the system will automatically assign available quantities to customer orders based on the predefined events. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up event-driven quantity assignment, it is important to consider the order in which events are triggered. For example, if a customer order is placed before a stock movement is made, then the system will not be able to assign available quantities to the order until after the stock movement has been completed.
