Enterprise Planning

Enterprise Planning performs and controls the planning process in multicompany and singlecompany environments. The planning run supports master planning and detailed order planning for production, purchase and distribution. The planner can use extensive analysis tools, such as scenarios, planning signals, and performance indicators to evaluate the plan.

You can use Enterprise Planning to plan supply based on:

  • Demand forecasts
  • Actual customer orders
  • Dependent demand for components of manufactured items

Enterprise Planning supports logistic planning at various levels of detail in terms of:

  • Time (from plan periods to seconds)
  • Product level (from product families to individual products)
  • Degree of explosion of requirements (from a wide range of components and/or work centers to a limited number of critical components and/or work centers).
