• Key Concepts: 
  Local exclusion list is a feature of the Global Available-to-Promise (ATP) component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. It allows users to exclude certain products from being included in the ATP check. This is useful for products that are not available for sale, such as those that are in development or have been discontinued.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the local exclusion list, users must first create a list of products that they want to exclude from the ATP check. This can be done by entering the product codes into the list. Once the list is created, it can be activated in the ATP configuration settings. Once activated, any product on the list will be excluded from the ATP check.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a local exclusion list, it is important to ensure that all products on the list are actually unavailable for sale. If a product is mistakenly included on the list, it could lead to incorrect ATP results and incorrect inventory levels.
