• Key Concepts: 
  Global Exclusion List is a feature of SAP's SCM-APO-ATP Global Available-to-Promise (GATP) component. It allows users to define a list of materials that should not be considered when calculating ATP (Available-to-Promise) quantities. This list can be used to exclude certain materials from the ATP calculation, such as those that are not available for sale or are not in stock.
  
  How to use it: 
  The Global Exclusion List can be accessed through the GATP component in SAP. To add a material to the list, users must first select the material in the GATP component and then click on the “Exclude” button. This will add the material to the Global Exclusion List and it will no longer be considered when calculating ATP quantities.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When adding materials to the Global Exclusion List, it is important to remember that this list is global and will affect all ATP calculations across all plants and warehouses. Therefore, it is important to ensure that only materials that should not be considered for ATP calculations are added to this list.
