3549158 - Amber Alert Displayed for Availability Check (ATP) Despite Sufficient Stock

Symptom

  • The Availability Check (ATP) displays an amber (yellow) signal even though there is enough on-hand quantity to fulfill the demand.
  • The expectation is for the ATP to display a green signal indicating that the order can be confirmed sufficiently.

Environment

Customer Requirement

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Outbound Logistics Control work center.
  2. Navigate to the Customer demand view.
  3. Search and select the relevant order.
  4. Choose the respective line item and chose the Actions button.
  5. Select the option Check Availability.

The availability check signal is Amber even though there is enough stock available to fulfill the demand.

Cause

  • The availability check displays a green signal indicating the orders are confirmed sufficiently if all the requested quantities can be delivered on the requested date time.
  • The requested date for the line item in your demand is in the past.
  • Since the requested date is in the past, the item(s) cannot be delivered on the requested date.

Resolution

  • The system will always display an amber alert when and if the requested date is in the past, as the orders cannot be delivered on time.
