• Key Concepts: 
  Inclusive rule is a feature of SAP's Global Available-to-Promise (ATP) component of the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. It allows users to define a set of conditions that must be met in order for an order to be accepted. This includes the availability of the requested item, the delivery date, and any other criteria that must be met. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use the inclusive rule feature, users must first define the conditions that must be met in order for an order to be accepted. This can be done by setting up a rule in the ATP configuration screen. Once the rule is set up, it will be applied to all orders that meet the criteria. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up an inclusive rule, it is important to consider all possible scenarios that could affect the availability of an item. This includes any external factors such as supplier delays or seasonal demand fluctuations. It is also important to consider any internal factors such as inventory levels or production capacity.
