I have just a few questions about this.  It appears that An error is 
generated "An Available to Promise Date could not be calculated" when 
there are no open P.O's for the Item in question and COM User default is 
tailored to display the Available to Promise Screen upon Booking/Quoting a 
line Item. 

It would be nice if it then looked at the Purchase lead time and populated 
the ATP in the Sales Order with this value.  As it is, it is kinda a 
chicken and the egg thing.  The order needs to be Booked so that there is 
demand in the system so those P.O's could then be cut.  Basing the ATP 
date on the Item Lead Time seems to be just what the Doctor Ordered. 

Am I missing something?  Could/has this sort of thing been via a user 
exit?
