SEO-Optimized Description
Infor CloudSuite Industrial (CSI) is a powerful manufacturing ERP solution for capacity and material planning, enabling organizations to balance supply, production constraints, and customer demand. This session focuses on one of CSI’s most valuable planning capabilities: Capable to Promise (CTP)—a feature designed to help manufacturers commit to realistic, achievable delivery dates.
Built on CSI’s finite capacity planning and advanced material planning engine, Capable to Promise allows sales teams and planners to instantly evaluate whether customer demand can be met based on available inventory, material availability, and production capacity. Instead of relying on static lead times or guesswork, CTP dynamically calculates projected ship dates using real-time supply chain data.
Through a practical customer order example, the session demonstrates how CSI automatically identifies available inventory, detects component shortages, and evaluates manufacturing requirements when order quantities change. When additional demand exceeds current availability, CSI analyzes job requirements, resource capacity, and material constraints to recommend the earliest achievable delivery date.
Capable to Promise empowers sales representatives to respond confidently—often while the customer is still on the phone—by offering clear options such as partial shipments, revised due dates, or alternative fulfillment scenarios. Even after a later due date is accepted, CSI continues monitoring the request and looks for opportunities to improve delivery performance.
By leveraging CTP in Infor CloudSuite Industrial, manufacturers reduce missed commitments, stabilize shop floor schedules, improve customer satisfaction, and align sales promises with operational reality.
