How to determine the Protected Quantity in aATP Supply Protection

[aussie19]

Hi,

I have read through the SAP documentation on Product Availability Check – Supply Protection.

It gives some examples of how this can be used. My main question is how the Protected Quantities are determined?

I understand how they can be used once defined, but which process defines the protected quantities?

What are typically processes or applications which define these quantities?

Thanks.

Hi Arno Meyer, Thanks for your reply.

You mentioned some customers use IBP data. What data from IBP would they typically use?

How can it be populated from IBP into the protected quantities field?

Hi Harald,
there is no rule how and where to get the protection data from. Supply Protection is to protect minimum quantities and not the complete forecast. However, if you have data for the forecast you could plan to protect x-% of the important groups. Some customers uses data from IBP to fill the Supply Protection Objects. But it would be wrong to protect too much (and everything, every time).
Best regards,

Arno
