Cause
The ATP check works based on a 24 hour cycle. However, this cycle is from 12:00 to 12:00 of the site time zone converted to UTC, meaning its 12:00 of the current day to 12:00 of the next day (and not 00:00 to 24:00 of the same day).
ATP by default works on the progressive bucketing logic, which means the receipts are booked to the start of the receipt bucket.
However, we also support conservative bucketing with which the receipts can be booked to the end of the receipt bucket.
Resolution
In case you would like to opt for the conservative bucketing, please uncheck the checkbox for following Business Configuration scoping question:
- Go to Business Configuration work center.
- Go to Implementation Projects view.
- Select respective Implementation Project and click on Edit Project Scope button.
- Click on next until Step 4 - Questions.
- Expand: Supply Chain Planning and Control -> Demand Management and Order Confirmation -> Product Availability Check.
- Unflag the question "Do you want to receive availability confirmations for products at the start of the 24 hour cycle?"
