Advanced ATP ยท Supply-chain architecture

When the path is complex, prototype the vision.

The cost of a wrong S/4HANA direction is rarely visible on day one. It appears later as rework, team conflicts, custom developments and dependency on whichever integrator first shaped the design. SizeGrid ATP Vision Lab creates early clarity while the effort is still small.

ATP Vision Lab helps companies to define their future logistics direction early in the S/4HANA journey

ATP Vision Lab is our early exploration and prototyping service for companies preparing for S/4HANA transformation. We work with logistics decision makers before the full implementation machinery starts, when the most important questions are still strategic: what should change, what is technically possible, which logistics assumptions should be challenged, and which direction should be given to future project teams.

We start with high-level pain points and business ambitions. Then we convert them into concrete ATP scenarios that can be discussed, demonstrated and adjusted in a real S/4HANA environment. The goal is not to document the current process once again. The goal is to help leadership formulate a future logistics vision that is ambitious, technically grounded and clear enough to guide implementation.

We facilitateVision workshopsFocused conversations with logistics, sales, planning and fulfillment stakeholders.
We designATP scenario optionsProcess alternatives around allocation, confirmation, segmentation, supply assignment and delivery control.
We validateWorking prototypesSelected scenarios are shown in our S/4HANA ATP environment, not only as slides.

Decision value

Formulate the visionTranslate leadership intuition and pain points into a structured logistics target.
Spend less laterReduce discovery loops, redesign cycles and late custom development during implementation.
Reduce project riskValidate critical ATP assumptions before they become dependencies for multiple workstreams.
Control the integratorEnter vendor discussions with a clear concept instead of waiting for someone else to define it.

Why SizeGrid can move quickly

Many consulting companies offer preconfigured S/4HANA systems with typical end-to-end processes. SizeGrid is different: our preconfigured environment is deliberately focused on ATP and availability-driven logistics. We maintain a broad set of standard and custom ATP scenarios, so we can assemble relevant demonstrations much faster than a team starting from an empty system.

What the lab is

The lab is not a large implementation project. It is a controlled space to test logistics ideas early. Decision makers can see how a concept behaves in the system, challenge assumptions, compare options and decide which direction deserves to be taken into the full S/4HANA program.

Product allocationQuotas, product-group commitments and customer allocation logic.
ARUN / supply assignmentFine-tuned assignment of scarce supply to prioritized demand.
Stock segmentationAvailability logic based on segments, markets, channels or business purpose.
Delivery releaseFulfillment control based on completeness, thresholds or commercial rules.

From broad pain points to a crisp logistics vision.

In large S/4HANA programs, many teams discover new possibilities in parallel. That can create creativity, but also conflicting ideas and late alignment problems. ATP Vision Lab moves the most strategic ATP and logistics questions earlier, before separate workstreams start shaping incompatible solutions.

  • We identify where ATP can change the logistics fundamentals, not only improve individual transactions.
  • We use prototypes to make abstract ideas concrete enough for business decision makers.
  • We prepare decision material that can later be handed to implementation teams and system integrators.
01Listen

Discuss pain points, strategic objectives and legacy assumptions with a small group of decision makers.

02Shape

Translate ideas into ATP-driven process scenarios and identify the decisions that matter most.

03Prototype

Assemble relevant demo flows from SizeGrid’s preconfigured ATP scenario library.

04Decide

Document the target direction, dependencies, risks and recommended next steps for implementation.

What you get

  • A business-readable ATP and logistics vision.
  • Prototype-backed scenario options instead of purely theoretical recommendations.
  • A clearer understanding of which standard capabilities, advanced ATP features and custom extensions may be relevant.
  • Decision material for leadership, PMO and future implementation partners.

Why it matters

  • The implementation can start with a clearer target architecture.
  • System integrators can be briefed and challenged more effectively.
  • Expensive redesign cycles can be reduced because key direction questions are answered earlier.
  • Stakeholders can commit to change with more confidence because they have seen the ideas working in the system.
