ATP Inquiry in ASCP

Running material only ATP on an unconstrained plan. ATP is based on planning data. Business uses Oracle configurator and forecasts at the model level. What is sold is very much engineered to order/assemble to order. The business has never quite been happy
with how the forecast at times seems to “get in the way” of ATP analysis. The business likes to think that the forecast is there to create demand in the fabrication side of the business and allow to order longer lead time components. But when a real sales order opportunity presents itself the ATP analysis “should know” that forecast is just a place holder and the material is available for sales and not the forecast.
