How are customer orders fulfilled from common stock?
Sales orders consume forecast requirements according to strategy and receive ATP confirmations from stock and planned supply.
READ THE CAPABILITY
Customer demand becomes an explainable MTS decision
A sales order arrives against a product intended for common stock. Consumption rules reduce the forecast that the order replaces and prevent duplicate demand. ATP confirms the order from eligible common stock and supply according to the designed scope.
CAPABILITY MODEL
Understand the input, decision, and result
Keep demand, supply, availability, and policy distinct before changing a control.
Customer demand
A sales order arrives against a product intended for common stock.
Use the planning signal
Consumption rules reduce the forecast that the order replaces and prevent duplicate demand.
Customer promise
ATP confirms the order from eligible common stock and supply according to the designed scope.
OPERATIONAL FLOW
How the capability performs
Follow the business decision through its planning and execution evidence.
Capture the order
Record material, plant, quantity, requested date, and customer priority.
Relate order to forecast
Apply the strategy, consumption direction, and time window so actual demand replaces planned demand.
Check available supply
ATP evaluates eligible stock, receipts, commitments, and dates to confirm the customer requirement.
Return the change to planning
The consumed forecast, remaining demand, and stock result shape future replenishment.
DESIGN & CONTROL
What shapes the result
Consumption mode, checking group, scope of check, product allocation, transfer of requirements, and delivery priority protect fair allocation.
Policy and master data
Material, plant, strategy, dates, planning scope, and valid master data establish the intended MTS behavior.
Planning and execution rules
Consumption, ATP, MRP, sourcing, scheduling, confirmation, and stock-status rules determine the resulting signal or movement.
Ownership and timing
Planner, production, warehouse, Sales, and Finance responsibilities must be clear at each hand-off and period.
DIAGNOSTIC EVIDENCE
What proves the result?
Use the demand signal, planning position, execution record, and customer or inventory outcome together.
Material, plant, schedule line, requested and confirmed quantity/date.
Planning strategy, consumption mode/window, consumed PIR, and remaining forecast.
ATP scope, stock type, receipts, commitments, confirmation, and delivery status.
MTS SCENARIO
A customer order arrives while 60 units are available in finished stock.
The order consumes the corresponding forecast quantity and ATP confirms from eligible stock; the remaining forecast is not planned again as if the order never arrived.
- Order is linked to the forecast
- Demand is not duplicated
- ATP scope is explainable
- Remaining supply is visible
