3306731 - <br>Understanding PAL Functionality: Handling Time Buckets with Planned Quantity "0" <br><br>

• Relevant Process:
  • Advanced ATP with Product Allocation Functionalities. 
    
    
• Business Attempt: 
  • During peak periods in a business year, demand for certain products increases significantly.
  • Allocation quantities should be restricted during these times.
    
    
• Configuration:
  • A Product Allocation Object was created, and planning data was maintained only for peak periods.
  • Non peak periods were left without maintained quantities.
    
    
• Detected System Behavior:
  • PAL Check Calculation for time buckets with no maintained quantities results in restricted availability checks.
  • Instead of allowing unrestricted quantities, the system limits available quantities to "0".
