You have set up advanced availability-to-promise (ATP) in a company with three item groups. The first item group does NOT need an automatic ATP check. The second item group requires an ATP check and…

Question

Options

• ASet the appropriate order multiple and order interval in each item group
• BUse a different row type in the sales order for each Item group
• CCreate a checking rule to assign to each item group

• A
  17% (2)
• B
  8% (1)
• C
  75% (9)

Explanation

Checking rules are the mechanism in advanced ATP that define two key behaviors: whether an ATP check is triggered at all, and whether the system can split fulfillment across multiple deliveries. By creating three distinct checking rules - one with no ATP check, one with ATP check and no splitting, and one with ATP check and splitting allowed - and assigning each to the corresponding item group, you precisely match the three requirements with a single configuration type.

Why A is wrong: Order multiple and order interval are replenishment/planning parameters that control reorder quantities and timing - they have no effect on whether ATP is checked or whether a delivery can be split.

Why B is wrong: The sales order row type (e.g., item, service) defines the nature of the line, not the ATP checking behavior. Changing row types per item group is not a supported or practical mechanism for controlling ATP logic.

Memory tip: Think of a checking rule as a rulebook handed to the ATP engine - it tells the system "should you even look? And if something is short, can you break the order apart?" Each item group gets its own rulebook (checking rule) tailored to its delivery policy.
