| | Print Sourcing Strategy (cprpd7410m000)Use this session to print
a report of the sourcing strategy data for the plan item that correspond to the specified range and the
selection criteria that you define for them in this session. Scenario The identification of an overall planning solution. Each scenario represents one overall planning solution, and
involves particular settings for the planning of items and resources. You can
use scenarios to analyze and compare various planning options and to find the
best planning solution. For example, you can vary demand forecasts or sourcing
strategies. One of the scenarios is the actual scenario, which
corresponds with the actual planning situation. You can only transfer planned
orders and production plans from the actual scenario to the execution level of LN. Scenario The identification of an overall planning solution. Each scenario represents one overall planning solution, and

less detailed. Example Plan level 1 is the highest plan level; the higher the
number, the lower the plan level. Plan Level The level within a hierarchical planning structure. When you plan on a higher plan level, plans are general and

financial company or logistic company. In Enterprise Planning, clusters are used for groups of warehouses, connected by
supplying relationships. Cluster A group of entities that are not necessarily related to one

to a particular item group. The item group is used in combination with the item
type to set up item defaults. Item Group Group of items with similar characteristics. Each item belongs
to a particular item group. The item group is used in combination with the item
type to set up item defaults. From Plan Item An item with the order system Planned. The production, distribution, or purchase of these items is
planned in Enterprise Planning based on the forecast or the actual demand. You can plan these items by means of the following: - Master-based planning, which is similar to master production
scheduling techniques.
- Order-based planning, which is similar to
material-requirements planning techniques.
- A combination of master-based planning and order-based
planning.
Plan items can be one of the following: - An actual manufactured or purchased item.
- A product family.
- A basic model, that is, a defined product variant of a
generic item.
A group of similar plan items or families is called a product
family. The items are aggregated to give a more general plan than the one
devised for individual items. A code displayed by the item code's cluster
segment shows that the plan item is a clustered item that is used for
distribution planning. To Plan Item An item with the order system Planned. The production, distribution, or purchase of these items is

menu to specify the type of report that you want to print for the sourcing
strategies. Select: - All, to print data of all the sourcing strategies. That
is, the sourcing strategies data if LN uses the standard configuration, as
well as the data for plan items for which you specified exceptions.
- Standard, to print a report of the sourcing strategy data
if LN uses the standard configuration, that is, you did no specify
exceptions.
- Specific, to print a report of the sourcing strategy data
for plan items for which you specified exceptions. In this case, you must
specify a range of exceptions in the From Unit and To Unit field.
From Unit Select an effectivity unit to specify
as the first in the range of effectivity units, if you selected Specific in the Configuration field. To Unit Select an effectivity unit to specify
as the last in the range of effectivity units, if you selected Specific in the Configuration field. | |
