Real time availability monitor

The Real-time Availability Monitor (RTAM) is a time-triggered transaction that monitors inventory availability of inventory items.

RTAM can be configured to raise the REALTIME_AVAILABILITY_CHANGE event when the inventory level of an item change for thresholds that are defined in the Applications Manager > Global Inventory Visibility module. If a bundle item is configured to ship its components independently, RTAM publishes the inventory information for each component of the bundle item, and not for the bundle item itself.

Deployment Accelerator provides distribution group and default payment rule for the organization. Additionally, it provides the inventory monitoring rule to define the limits for inventory alerts and ATP rule to determine the availability of an item for current and future demand. The setup is added for an enterprise that is created by using Deployment Accelerator.

The following inventory levels are specified in the inventory monitoring rule for an enterprise by Deployment Accelerator.
  • LOW - 10
  • MEDIUM - 100
  • HIGH - 1000

RTAM monitors inventory changes with the help of inventory monitoring rules.

Note: Events are not configured for RTAM to run. For more information about the RTAM, see Configuring the Real-Time Availability Monitor.
