Overview of Override ATP
Overriding
ATP makes demand visible to planning. It allows an authorized user to schedule
a line even if no supply is available. This functionality is designed for exceptions,
not normal scheduling. Any user who overrides ATP takes the responsibility
to find supply manually.
The Override ATP value remains on the line until
the authorized user decides to un-override or unschedule the line.
Some
reasons for using Override ATP include:
The
user may know it is possible to bring supply in early.In
that case, the authorized user might want to take the responsibility for
providinga
schedule date.
There could be reason to schedule the order even if there is no supply.
The
business might want to take the order from a very high-priority customer, even if
it means rescheduling items for customers who are deemed less critical. It is a manual
process to take supply from one customer to give to another.
Authorized
users can override ATP Schedule Date from the Sales Orders window by setting
the Override ATP check box on the sales order line and providing a Schedule Date.
Optionally, users can send manual notifications (Actions / Notifications) after overriding
ATP. For example, notifying another responsibility or user of the need to find
additional supply.
You can notify any responsibility, i.e. Advanced Supply
Chain Planner,
Demand Planner, Manufacturing or Distribution Manager.
This
functionality does not apply to Service, Drop Ship, or Return lines. Copy
Orders will not copy the Override ATP flag.
APS
will calculate the delivery lead time for overridden lines. If there is no
warehouse on
the overridden line, APS will use the first warehouse in the sourcing rules.
The Override
ATP flag is supported by Standard Order Import, not High Volume Order Processing
(HVOP).
