Global Planning Mode

In single-site mode, APS Planning regenerates the plan only at the local site. In global mode, APS Planning regenerates all plans, transfer supply orders, and transfer demand orders at all sites defined on the APS Sites and Alternative Management form. The sequence in which each site is planned is determined by the site priority defined at the local site where you run APS Planning.

In Global Planning mode, each site will be planned in priority order. Demands for transferred items are planned at the supplying site when encountered at the appropriate point in the planning process.

In Multiple Site Planning mode, each site will be planned in priority order. Demands for transferred items are planned using leadtime, with planned transfer orders replicated to the supplying site during planner post-processing. After all sites have been planned, the replicated transfer orders are planned incrementally.
