Use this session to define planning clusters.

Note
  • LN only supports planning clusters for warehouses.

  • If the multisite concepts are activated, these rules apply:

    • A warehouse is linked to a site, and the site is linked to the planning cluster.
    • Planning clusters are mandatory. A planning cluster must be linked to one or more sites.
    • A site must be linked to a planning cluster.
    • A site cannot be linked to more than one planning cluster.

Planning Cluster

An object used to group warehouses for which the inbound and outbound flow of goods and materials is planned collectively. For this purpose, the demand and supply of the warehouses of the planning cluster is aggregated. Within a planning cluster one supply source is used, such as production, purchasing or distribution.

If multisite is implemented, a planning cluster must include one or more sites. The site or sites include the warehouses for which the planning processes are performed. A site is linked to one planning cluster.
