Stock available to promise
Stock available to promise module calculates a more accurate "Available to Promise" stock level considering future sales, production capacity, and more.
This module is designed to enhance inventory management capabilities by providing a more accurate and informative picture of your available stock. It focuses on the concept of "Available to Promise" (ATP), which is the quantity of a product you can realistically commit to fulfilling customer orders, considering various factors.
It proposes several options to compute the quantity available to promise for each product. This quantity is based on the projected stock and, depending on the configuration, it can account for various data such as sales quotations or immediate production capacity. In case of immediate production capacity, it is possible to configure on which field the potential is computed, by default Quantity On Hand is used. This can be configured in Inventory > Configuration > Settings.
Configuration
By default, this module computes the stock available to promise as the virtual stock. To take advantage of the additional features, you must define on which information you want to base the computation, by checking one or more boxes in the settings: Inventory > Configuration > Settings > Stock available to promise. In case of "Include the production potential", it is also possible to configure which field of product to use to compute the production potential.
Key Features
- Available for sale (ATP) on the Product form
- Configurable ATP Calculation
Configurable ATP Calculation
This module lets you define how "Available to Promise" (ATP) is calculated for your products. You can include factors like future sales commitments and immediate production potential, providing a more realistic picture of your available stock
Improved Inventory Visibility
The module adds a new "Available for Sale" field to product forms and potentially other relevant details. This enhances your understanding of what stock you can realistically commit to fulfilling orders.
Available for sale field in product
Configuration
Go to Inventory > Configuration > Settings. Here, you can choose which factors to include in the ATP calculation.
Configuration
For production capacity, you can specify which product field (e.g., "Quantity On Hand" for raw materials) should be used to assess your ability to manufacture.
