Give sales the confidence to quote — and the proof when they do.

Sales lives in fear of two failures: quoting too late and losing the deal, or quoting too fast and missing the date. Promise Admission removes the dilemma — verification runs in seconds against live facts, so reps quote fast with proof attached instead of choosing between speed and honesty.

## Admission stages

Each stage below verifies before the promise commits — the rep quotes only what the system has proven feasible.

### data Viz

section: stages

### Check

ATP, capacity, and transit resolve against live facts for the requested item, quantity, and date. All green admits the promise with stock reserved.

### Counter

Any red returns the earliest feasible date with the binding constraint named, so negotiation starts from facts instead of hope.

### Override

Governed overrides carry authority, reason, and accepted risk with the outcome tracked. Overrides stay reviewable instead of becoming invisible exceptions.

## Admission guarantees

- **Verified inputs:** ATP, capacity, and transit facts resolved before any date commits
- **Named refusals:** Shortages cite the binding constraint with the earliest feasible date
- **Held reservations:** Accepted promises reserve stock against execution truth
- **section:** capabilities

## Admission by industry

Promise gates bend per industry — same verification discipline, different commitment stakes.

### Manufacturing

Make-to-order promises verify components, capacity, and lead time before sales quotes a date. Configured products resolve options first.

### Distribution

Bulk promises validate lot availability and customer-specific stock with FEFO rules. Shortages counter with substitute lots where policy permits.

### Services

Capacity promises check crew skills, certifications, and travel windows before booking. Overcommitment refuses with the earliest feasible slot offered.

## Promise Admission questions

### Section 1

Can a rep override a refused promise?

Only through a governed override carrying authority, reason, and commercial acceptance of the risk. The override and its outcome stay on the record.

### Section 2

What changes a committed promise?

Supply, capacity, or transit changes revalidate the promise automatically. If the date slips, sales sees the new earliest feasible date with the cause named.

### Section 3

Won't gates slow down quoting to a crawl?

Verification runs in seconds against live facts — faster than the email thread it replaces. The only quotes that slow down are the ones that would have failed.
