Available to Promise (ATP) or Available to Sale allows businesses to keep the minimum amount of a given product on-hand so that they can utilize their inventory efficiently. ATP is the projected amount of inventory available to sell, not including allocated (reserved for sales orders) inventory and products that have already been sold (but not shipped). It enables businesses to control distribution to their customers and predict inventory. Read below to learn more about ATP reports and their function in Logiwa.

Using the ATP Report
ATP reports offer several key benefits for managing your production and delivery processes. These reports provide valuable insights into the amount that can be produced on a given day to fulfill customer orders.
Another primary advantage of ATP reports is their ability to consider the demand factor. You can use the ATP report to anticipate customer demands and adjust ordering for popular products. Unlike stock quantity, your ATP numbers can be negative. While a positive value indicates that you have inventory available to sell, a negative value indicates that your inventory is below your stock quantity. In other words, negative quantity means that the number of orders exceeds your physical inventory, letting you know that you need to order/produce more.
Also, by providing visibility into delivery expectations, these reports enable you to communicate estimated delivery times to your customers.
How the ATP Report Works
The Available To Promise report is a product-based report. Each line corresponds to a specific product in the inventory, and each quantity field within the report should be considered in relation to the product line.
Your Available To Promise report is a real-time report. The report refreshes itself when the following actions occur in the system:
When a new purchase order is placed in your account.
A purchase order can be created manually or can be imported with an excel file.
You receive, cancel, or delete a purchase order.

A new shipment order is placed in your account.
Shipment orders can be created manually, can be imported with an excel file, can be retrived throughout API or can be downloaded from your store.
You ship, cancel, or delete a shipment order.
