Available and Capable to Promise

A key differentiator of the NGRERP software suite is that it supports both available-to-promise (ATP) and capable-to-promise (CTP) processes and automated alerts. While available-to-promise processing considers existing material on hand for both purchased and manufactured items, capable-to-promise functionality also accounts for inbound purchase receipts, supplier lead times, alternative sourcing options, and raw material, production, and labor availability. During the order entry process, CTP evaluates these factors at a line-item level to calculate an accurate customer delivery date and offer alternative supplier options for raw materials or distributed items.
