If you are new with this web log we request you to read preface first.


P) Procedure of Available To Promise (ATP) for finished products

Tiger: When sales department wants to book a sales order or wants to finalize it monthly promises to customers.

Tasks:

1- Sales department sends the sales order in not booked status or its monthly demands before approval to the inventory management via system (systematic).

2- Management of FG warehouse after getting this information runs ATP program. This program will calculate how much of the entire demand is available in warehouse. The result of this program is sent to sales department to make it aware that how much of the planned demand can be satisfied by existing availability of inventory.

It is obvious that sales department after getting this info from warehouse will pass it to manufacturing to check whether capable to promise quantity calculated by manufacturing area will be fulfilling the balance of the total planned demand or not (Systematic).

Concerned role:

Warehouse management of FG

Pre requirements & necessities:

Clearly ATP formula for each production should be defined before running the procedure. This is one of the one-time tasks that must be done in part of master items as described already.

Q) Procedure of getting pick release request from sales

Trigger: When scheduled shipped time of a sales order is matured

Tasks:

A pick release request or move order is raised from sales system and is notified to warehouse user. The request may be raised automatically by the system once scheduled shipped date of a sales order is matured or by a user of sales system. It depends on the setup of sales system and will be described in sales system book. Any which way the request will contain product item requested, quantity requested, way of loading … and sales order or sales agreement number. In addition, if any special specification or quality parameters are mentioned in the sales order, these also should be included in the request on the system (systematic).

Concerned role:
