Re: Customer view of Quotes in ATP calculations.

There is a downloadable ptf that will fix the issue with quotes showing in
ATP.  They rebuild 4 or 5 logicals to accomplish this.

Those of you that use the Available to Promise Date function in MAPICS when
keying in COM orders, do you use the Quote function as well?  Of those you
that "Yes", could you please give me some feedback on an issue I'm
reviewing?  If you use Quotes and ATP is there any reason why you would
want the line items on Quotes to be included in the calculation?  I don't
want to make this complicated (don't want to consider setting up
percentages, etc.) - I just want to know if Quotes must be considered.
This is also a factor when considering the Capable to Promise function
integrated with Thru-Put.  In my experience customers did not want to
include Quotes in the mix as an "Order is not an Order" until it is was
entered as such.  Thanks for your time and feedback on this important issue
and I always enjoy hearing from our customers.
