  Key Concepts: 
  Scope of check is a feature in SAP's Global Available-to-Promise (ATP) component of the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. It allows users to define the scope of the ATP check, which determines which orders and products are checked for availability. This helps to ensure that only relevant orders and products are checked, thus improving the accuracy of the ATP check. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the scope of check feature, users must first define the scope of the ATP check. This can be done by setting up a scope of check rule in the system. The rule can be based on criteria such as product, customer, or order type. Once the rule is set up, it will be applied to all ATP checks in the system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a scope of check rule, it is important to consider all relevant criteria that could affect the accuracy of the ATP check. For example, if a customer has special requirements for certain products, then those products should be included in the scope of check rule. Additionally, it is important to regularly review and update the scope of check rule to ensure that it remains accurate and up-to-date.
