A fulfillment server ( 16 ) for managing ATP data in a distributed supply chain planning environment receives an ATP request ( 30 ) from one of multiple clients ( 12 ). The ATP request ( 30 ) includes multiple request line-items that each correspond to a desired product. The fulfillment server ( 16 ) then generates one or more component ATP requests ( 32 ) based on the request line-items and communicates component ATP requests ( 32 ) to at least one of multiple local fulfillment managers ( 14 ). In response, the fulfillment server ( 16 ) receives component quotations ( 34 ) from the local fulfillment managers ( 14 ), each corresponding to a component ATP request ( 32 ) and each including product availability information for the corresponding desired product. The fulfillment server ( 16 ) generates a quotation ( 36 ) that includes product availability information for all desired products, according to the component quotations ( 34 ), and communicates the quotation ( 36 ) to the client ( 12 ).
