ATP/CTP Pull Tolerance

This field applies to APS.

During the Get ATP or Get CTP process, after the system push plans a demand to be late, it performs a final series of pull-planning iterations within a time window (bound by the demand's due date and the Projected date) to optimize the plan. This process divides the time window in half with each iteration until a feasible plan is found that is within the ATP/CTP Pull Tolerance number of days of the original Due date.

In the ATP/CTP Pull Tolerance field, enter the number of days to use as the system's limit of how close to the Due date to attempt to plan the demand when planning with the Get ATP or Get CTP functions. The default value is 7 days.

• A smaller number may result in an earlier Projected date, but the system may need to perform many iterations to arrive at the date, which slows the Get ATP/Get CTP process.
• A larger number will allow the Get ATP/Get CTP process to complete faster, but may produce a Projected date that is not as early as your facility could accomplish in reality.
