Job shop production planning in Enterprise Planning
You can use Enterprise Planning for the logistic planning of items that you manufacture at one or more production sites.
In Enterprise Planning, production volumes are planned in the following way:
- Within the master-planning horizon, production is planned in the form of a production plan.
- Within the order horizon, production is planned in the form of planned production orders.
If multisite is activated, planning takes place per planning cluster. A planning cluster contains one or more sites where production can take place.
In master planning, only critical requirements (according to the bill of critical materials and the bill of critical capacities) are passed on to the component items and resources involved.
When a production volume is planned, the resulting requirements for components are passed on to the component items involved, so that LN can take this dependent demand into account when these items are planned. The capacity requirements resulting from planned production are passed on to the resources involved.
You can convert a production plan to planned production orders in the Convert Master Plan to Planned Orders (cprmp2240m000) session.
You can use the Transfer Order Planning (cppat1210m000) session to transfer a batch of planned production orders and/or production plans to the execution level of LN. In addition, you can use the Transfer Planned Production Orders (cppat1211m000) session to transfer one specific planned production order from the Planned Orders (cprrp1100m000) session to the execution level.
