who orders goods or services from your organization, that owns the
configurations you maintain, or for whom you perform a project. The agreement with the sold-to business partner can include
the following: - Default price and discount agreements

Planner The planner responsible for planning this plan item. You define a plan item's planner in the Planner field in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session. 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. Approve unchanged Supply If this check box is selected, the confirmed supply is
approved even if the dates and quantities are exactly the same as in the
previous revision of the confirmed supply. Accept Delivery Moments before current Date If this check box is selected, the session also
approves the confirmed supply if the confirmed-supply records contain dates
that lie in the past. Accept negative Difference If this check box is selected, the session also
approves confirmed supply if the confirmed supply quantity is likely to be
insufficient to prevent a shortage. If this check box is cleared, and the confirmed supply
is based on the total forecast, this session does not
approve the confirmed supply if, within the confirm supply time fence, the
total difference becomes negative. If the confirmed supply is based on the confirmed forecast, the check is performed on the
confirmed difference. To view the total difference and the confirmed difference,
use the Total Difference field and the Confirmed Difference field in the Confirmed Supply to Customer (cpvmi0108m000) session. The basis for the calculation of the confirmed supply is
specified in the Confirmed Supply Based On field in the Planning Terms and Conditions (tctrm1135m000) session. The confirm supply time fence is specified in the Confirm Supply Horizon field in the Planning Terms and Conditions (tctrm1135m000) session.

partner is inactive. Print Approved Confirmed Supply If this check box is selected, the session prints a
