Available To Promise Functionality Features and Functions
Available to Promise Functionality: Available to Promise is not unlike the analysis that tales place with any system's inventory control application. All systems take on-hand stock and subtract quantities allocated to open sales orders so that users can determine if there is sufficient stock to meet the demands of a new order. Available to Promise takes this analysis one step further by taking the time factor into consideration. If a customer wants an order delivered within one week, but the stock will not be available for ten days, this analysis will take that into consideration. The actual analysis is more complicated than that, but the objective is simple. Users need to be able to know when they will be able to meet a customer's request.
