In R/3, there are three types of availability check:
Check on the basis of ATP quantities, Check against product allocation and Check against planning.The ATP(Avilability to promise) stock is calculated form the warehouse stock. 

ATP= Existing stock+inward stock-outward stock.

Hi all,

availability check is a process to check the availability of material requested by customer on customer requested delivery date, it is a integrial part of business process.

whenever customer place an order system check the availability of requested material on specific date this is configure on material master general sale plant data and passes to material requirement planning (MRP)

Whereas ATP (Available to Prommise) is consider the inward movement (Purchase order, Planning order, Production order) and outward movement (sales order stock, reserve stock)
based on ATP system confirm the available quantity and remaining passes to RLT.

Availability check is the integral part of the business process which determines if the desired delivery qty can be met on the desired date.this includes scheduling for picking and packing time and the time taken to produce or obtain the material as well.

ATP(available to promise)=Warehouse stock+Incoming stock-outgoing stock.If this is checked can examine safety stock,stock in transfer,stock in quality inspection,and blocked stock.planned receipts & issue.It also considers made to order stocks and consignment stocks.

Availability check is basically carried out at order level, where the system determines if the customer requested quantity can be delivered on the customer requested date. Availability check makes use of ATP (available to promise) which is nothing but a figure of the total stock (which can be consumed) available on hand. This includes warehouse stock+incoming stock-planned outgoing stock. ATP is a number, where as availability check is a process.
