Good afternoon,
Does anyone know how I can reconsider multiple sales lines / orders? When the delivery time has passed or when the purchase order is delayed?
Now I have to run a new ctp per order to generate an overview.
Thanks in advance.
Hi
Planning worksheet to manage your demand and needs

Kind regards

Thanks for your responses.
I suggested the idea.
We are a wholesaler / importer, unfortunately we often have to deal with situations at our suppliers. A fixed date is therefore quite difficult. Sometimes it is 10 days and sometimes 20. That is why I want to inform my customer early.
@Jerome
What do you mean by planning worksheet?
Hello,
Yes, the idea is a good one. Here is a link to add your idea to the Dynamics Business Central ideas list that everyone can vote on and Microsoft Product Team can see:
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Steve
Steve,
Thanks again for your response.
I think this is strange since you enter all the information on the purchasing side that affects a sales order.
This would really be an addition to the package. You don't want to manually reconfirm hundreds of orders. Can you send points for improvement somewhere?
Thanks again. And stay healthy.
Hello,
Ugh! Running ATP or CTP for multiple Sales Orders at the same time is not possible out-of-the-box. In thinking out-of-the-box, maybe an extension, by your Partner, the allows ATP/CTP to run against multiple Sales Order. However, you have to think of the current process and results that come back that you can accept. This needs to be thought out since the process does require accepting the dates to be updated to a Sales Order.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Steve
Good day Steve,
Thank you for your response.
I know this method. But I want this for multiple orders at the same time.
We have hundreds of orders but it is not possible to do this per order. I want this because of a power bi report where the delivery times are stated with the shipping date. When I recalculate a CTP or ATP, new dates are added here.
Do you happen to know this too?
Thanks Steve, very good
Hello,
If I am following your question you are looking for a function that looks at Order Promising. In BC, on the Sales Order List or when a Sales Order is open, you can click to Actions/Functions/Order Promising. Here you can use the tools Available-to-Promise or Capable-to-Promise.
Some information on these tools...
The Order Promising functionality enables you to promise an order to be shipped or delivered on a specific date. The date that an item is available to promise or capable to promise is calculated, and order lines are created for those dates that you accept. The functionality calculates the earliest possible date that an item is available for shipment or delivery. It also creates requisition lines, in case the items must first be purchases, for those dates that you accept.
Business Central uses two fundamental concepts:
Available to promise (ATP) calculates dates based on the reservation system. It performs an availability check of the unreserved quantities in inventory with regard to planned production, purchases, transfers, and sales returns. Based on this information, Business Central automatically calculates the delivery date of the customer’s order because the items are available, either in inventory or on planned receipts.
Capable to promise (CTP) assumes a “what if” scenario, which only applies to item quantities that are not in inventory or on scheduled orders. Based on this scenario, Business Central calculates the earliest date that the item can be available if it is to be produced, purchased, or transferred.
If there is an order for 10 pieces, and 6 pieces are available in inventory or on scheduled orders, then the Capable-to-Promise calculation will be based on 4 pieces.
When Business Central calculates the customer’s delivery date, it performs two tasks:
If the customer does not request a specific delivery date, the shipment date is set to equal the work date, and availability is then based on that date. If the item is in inventory, Business Central calculates forward in time to determine when the order can be delivered. This is accomplished by the following formulas:
Business Central then verifies if the calculated delivery date is realistic by calculating backward in time to determine when the item must be available to meet the promised date. This is accomplished by the following formulas:
The shipment date is used to make the availability check. If the item is available on this date, Business Central confirms that the requested/promised delivery can be met by setting the planned delivery date to equal the requested/promised delivery date. If the item is unavailable, it returns a blank date and the order processor can then use the CTP functionality.
Based on new dates and times, all related dates are calculated according to the formulas listed earlier in this section. The CTP calculation takes longer but it gives an accurate date when the customer can expect to have the item delivered. The dates that are calculated from CTP are presented in the Planned Delivery Date and Earliest Shipment Date fields on the Order Promising Lines page.
The order processor finishes the CTP process by accepting the dates. This means that a planning line and a reservation entry are created for the item before the calculated dates to ensure that the order is fulfilled.
You setup Order Promising on the Order Promising Setup page.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Steve
