Available-to-promise is the uncommitted inventory or scheduled availability that can support new customer promises. It accounts for existing commitments and may include future planned supply, so it is not simply the physical warehouse balance.[1]
Tie the quantity to an availability date. An expected supplier delivery cannot be treated as stock ready to pick today. Recalculate what can be promised when new orders consume availability or a scheduled receipt moves to a later date.
