  Key Concepts: 
  Product Allocation Quantity is a feature of SAP's Global Available-to-Promise (ATP) component of the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. It allows users to allocate a certain quantity of a product to a specific customer or order. This ensures that the customer or order will receive the allocated quantity of the product, even if the total quantity available is less than the requested amount. 
  How to Use It: 
  Product Allocation Quantity can be used in SAP's Global ATP component by setting up an allocation rule. This rule defines the criteria for allocating a certain quantity of a product to a customer or order. Once the rule is set up, it will automatically allocate the specified quantity of the product to the customer or order when it is requested. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up an allocation rule, it is important to consider how much of the product should be allocated and how often it should be allocated. This will ensure that customers and orders receive the correct amount of product without over-allocating or under-allocating.
