• Key Concepts: 
  Parameter-dependent ATP safety stock is a feature of SAP's Global Available-to-Promise (ATP) component of the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. It allows users to set a safety stock level for each parameter, such as product, location, and customer. This safety stock level is used to ensure that there is enough inventory available to meet customer demand. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Parameter-dependent ATP safety stock can be set up in the SAP system by going to the SCM-APO-ATP Global Available-to-Promise component. Once there, users can select the parameters they want to set a safety stock level for and enter the desired level. The system will then use this safety stock level when calculating the available inventory for each parameter. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up parameter-dependent ATP safety stock, it is important to consider the customer demand for each parameter. Setting too low of a safety stock level could result in customers not being able to get the products they need, while setting too high of a safety stock level could result in excess inventory that is not needed.
