Lesson: Configuring Rule Determination Based on the Condition Technique in Global Available-to-Promise (Global ATP)

Access Sequence

Figure 85: Configuration: Access Sequence

The access sequence is an ordered list of condition tables used to search for condition
records that match the values of the order. Finding a matching condition record is vital for
identifying the correct rule to be used in a specific ATP check.
The access sequence gives the rule determination process flexibility for handling conditional
dependencies. More than one condition table can be specified in an access sequence.
However, not all condition tables have to be listed in an access sequence. Several condition
tables can contain records. Therefore, the access sequence makes it possible to determine
several rules.
Access sequences can be defined after the necessary condition tables have been created.
Enter a code and description for the access sequence and then go to the individual accesses.
Choose the New Entries field to create condition table entries. After completing this step,
proceed to the field view and choose Save to generate the access sequence.
If you go back to the previous screen (the accesses screen), you will notice that the access
and condition table numbers can no longer be changed. This means that the generation has
been completed successfully. For example, the condition can prevent the corresponding
access being executed. Conditions are not currently supported. The Exclusive indicator stops
the step-by-step evaluation of the condition tables at runtime after the first successful access
has been made.
