Order Promising11
Order promising confirms when and in what quantity customer demand can be fulfilled, using standard available-to-promise checks and advanced ATP methods for constrained supply situations.
- Available to PromiseAvailable-to-promise (ATP) determines the date and quantity on which a requirement can be confirmed when material supply is constrained. Sales and fulfillment teams run and monitor availability checks and steer how scarce supply is distributed.
- Availability CheckCalculates confirmable dates and quantities for a material using a checking rule, current supply, and competing requirements of different types.
- Backorder ProcessingReprioritizes sales and stock transport orders through automated mass availability checks so scarce material is distributed according to a chosen strategy.
- Advanced Available-to-PromiseAdvanced Available-to-Promise (aATP) extends standard ATP with substitution, product allocation, release for delivery, and supply protection for constrained supply. Integrated scheduling plans dates and times for logistical activities and writes the results back into business documents.
- Alternative-Based ConfirmationWhen the requested source cannot confirm a sales order requirement, swaps in a substitute — a different product, storage location, or delivering plant — with third-party fulfillment among the options.

- Product AllocationReserves material quantities per time period and characteristic combination for orders and scheduling agreements, with monitoring tools to rebalance the allocation situation.
- Release for DeliveryLets fulfillment managers manually reorder due sales and stock transport orders so limited supply follows a defined strategy before triggering downstream logistics.
- Supply ProtectionRing-fences planned quantities for priority demand groups so lower-priority orders cannot consume protected stock during availability checks.
- Activity Attributes for Business Process Scheduling Review Scheduling Result for Business Process SchedulingMaintains, per characteristic combination, the working times and durations that logistical activities take, and displays the resulting schedules for quotations and sales orders.

Is SAP IBP part of SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud?
No — SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) is a separate cloud solution for demand and supply planning, licensed and implemented independently of S/4HANA. It integrates with S/4HANA Public Cloud through pre-built APIs for exchanging planning and transactional data, but it isn't bundled into the S/4HANA subscription itself.
