Plan items in Enterprise PlanningEach item that is planned using Enterprise Planning must not only be defined as an item in Common, but also as a plan item in Enterprise Planning. How to define plan items When you define an item in Common, in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session, you can specify its order system in the Item - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session. If the order system is Planned, LN automatically starts the Items - Planning (1100m000) session, where you can define the corresponding plan items. Note You can define default data for plan items in the Items - Planning Defaults (cprpd1110m000) session. Planning cluster segment Depending on how Enterprise Planning has been configured, a plan item can have an additional item-code segment known as the planning cluster segment. This segment represents the geographical location of a plan item, and is used for distribution planning. The use of planning cluster segments implies that an item can be represented by more than one plan item (with different planning cluster segments). Note Through the appropriate menu in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session, you can generate a range of clustered items based on a particular plan item (for a range of planning cluster), or based on a particular planning cluster (for a range of plan items). If you do this, Enterprise Planning also copies the relevant plan item data. Plan-item settings The plan item's settings in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session determine, among other things:
Enterprise Planning uses the following data, some of which is stored in Manufacturing, and some of which in Enterprise Planning: You can maintain the data related to the BOM and the routings in the Bill of Material and Routing modules of Manufacturing. The bill of critical materials, bill of critical capacities and aggregation relationships are maintained in Enterprise Planning.
