| | Generate Pegging Relations Forecast - Confirmed Supply (cpvmi1212m000)You can use this session to create the pegging records that
you cannot create by using the Generate Pegging Relations (cprrp0240m000) 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. 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. Planner ID The employee or department responsible for planning the
production, purchase and distribution of items. The planner takes into account
the inventory levels, availability of materials, and capacities of resources,
and reacts on signals such as rescheduling messages that LN generates. To determine a plan item's planner, use the Planner field in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session. | |
