We are an Engineer-to-Order (ETO) company where Available-to-Promise (ATP) dates are critical to our customers. These dates depend on multiple factors, including supplier lead times, manufacturing cycle times, shipping, and also engineering/design time.
We are exploring ways to better incorporate engineering capacity into our scheduling and ATP calculations.
Has anyone modeled Engineering as a work center within Acumatica to account for design capacity and better reflect its impact on delivery dates?
If so, how was it configured, and did it effectively improve ATP accuracy? Are there alternative approaches within Acumatica to include engineering lead time and capacity constraints in the planning process?
Thank you
