Order Fulfillment and Optimization

SAP Advanced Available to Promise

Product Availability Check (PAC)

This feature aids in determining the availability of a specific material, considering specific control rules and the current supply situation, to meet demand.

Back Order Processing (BOP)

In cases where stock is unavailable for high-priority customer orders, this process allows for the fulfillment of orders from low-priority customers, cancellation of confirmations, and allocation of stock to high-priority customers.
