  Key Concepts: 
  Stock Hiding is a feature of the Global Available-to-Promise (ATP) component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. It allows users to hide certain stock from being considered in ATP checks. This can be useful when stock is reserved for a specific customer or purpose and should not be considered for other orders. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Stock Hiding can be enabled in the ATP configuration settings. Once enabled, users can select which stock should be hidden from ATP checks. This can be done manually or through a custom program. The hidden stock will not be considered when calculating the available quantity for an order. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using Stock Hiding, it is important to remember that the hidden stock will not be considered in ATP checks. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the correct stock is being hidden and that it is not needed for other orders.
