Build my requirements →Order Promising3
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.

- 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.

How do you create a storage location in SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud?
A storage location is a sub-division of a plant used to track inventory at a more granular level, configured through master-data setup rather than custom code. Public Cloud's warehouse capability is basic — it covers storage location and stock-tracking scenarios well, but complex slotting, task interleaving or wave picking typically needs a dedicated WMS or Private Cloud's stronger warehouse module.
