Available to Promise (ATP)
Available to promise is the quantity that can be committed to new customer demand after considering existing stock, scheduled supply and prior commitments within a defined horizon.
Definition
In general ERP practice
Available to promise is the quantity that can be committed to new customer demand after considering existing stock, scheduled supply and prior commitments within a defined horizon. It is not simply total on-hand stock.
In Odoo
Odoo’s forecast report and reservation logic are the closest documented functions. They show expected stock movements and availability, but a reliable customer promise also needs lead times and capacity checks; a forecast balance is not a universal ATP engine across every resource constraint.
Official Odoo documentation
The Odoo-specific explanation above is based on the documentation for Odoo 19. Features and workflows can differ in other versions.
