Order Promising
Real-time promises balanced across plants and tiers.
- Order Promising
Overview
Order promising built for volatility, not the calendar
Semiconductor demand swings hard and fabrication lead times run long, so a promise made at order entry has to hold up months later. Blue Yonder Order Promiser checks allocation and availability together, in real time, drawing on multi-level available-to-promise and capable-to-promise so every date reflects what the fab and supply network can actually deliver, not what looked available at the last batch run.

Features & Capabilities
See further than finished goods
Patented multi-level search runs across finished items, components, and near-term supply in a single pass, built into the platform rather than bolted on afterward. Promises can be backed by real production capacity, not just what happens to be sitting in finished goods inventory that day.
Promise by priority, not sequence
Supply is organized into time-phased buckets, with quantity and timing allocated per order automatically. Delivery dates are generated in line with business strategy and customer priority, not just the order in which requests happen to arrive.
Promise against what's actually there
Every promise draws on a real-time, accurate view of allocated and available supply, not a cached snapshot or the result of an overnight batch run. As conditions shift, the picture behind each promise shifts with them.
Close the overcommitmenet gap
Allocation and availability are evaluated together, in a single call, rather than checked separately the way sequential, ERP-native processes typically handle it. That closes a gap where a promise can otherwise get made before anyone confirms there's capacity behind it.
The right service level, automatically
Differentiated service levels and delivery rules apply automatically by customer tier, so contractual SLAs and strategic accounts are protected without manual intervention. 14 distinct policy profiles cover everything from long-term hyperscaler agreements to opportunistic spot orders.
Connect without the custom build
Built to integrate with heterogeneous ERP landscapes without the cost and fragility of custom point-to-point development. The platform fits into existing systems rather than requiring them to be replaced.
Benefits
What you can achieve with Blue Yonder
Promise by Priority, Not Sequence
Just-in-time supply consumption matches the nearest available inventory to each order's actual request date, instead of handing it to whoever got there first.
Promise in Real Time
Allocation and availability are checked together, at the moment of order entry, not hours later in an overnight batch run.
Promise on Real Capacity
Native Capability-to-Promise and multi-level Available-to-Promise mean promises can lean on real production capacity, not just what's sitting in finished goods.
Work smarter with Blue Yonder
Chief Supply Chain Officer
Give customers a delivery date backed by real capacity, not a guess dressed up as a commitment.
See past finished goods.
Multi-level ATP checks components and near-term supply alongside finished inventory, so promises can lean on production capacity instead of stopping at whatever is already on the shelf.
Close the gap between allocation and availability.
Allocation and availability get checked together, in one step, instead of sequentially the way most ERP systems handle it. That closes the window where a promise gets made before anyone confirms the supply is really there.
Protect your best customers automatically.
14 promising policy profiles apply the right service level by customer tier, so long-term hyperscaler agreements and strategic accounts get protected without someone manually overriding the system.
