Business Plan-related changes

Changes to Supply Planning related to Business Plans are listed below.

Publishing from Supply Planning to SCV now includes these steps:

  • Purge previously published plans
  • Publish new plans
  • Log plans

Supply Plan is published into the new SCV Core plan tables:

  • SC_PRODUCTION_PLAN
  • SC_PURCHASE_PLAN
  • SC_TRANSFER_PLAN

Plan values published from Supply Planning have the following SCP Order status:

  • Planned: Generated plan values
  • Firm Planned: Manually specified plan values or generated plan values that are committed

New interface services used to publish supply plan:

  • SPLS - SCV - Export Planned Production Plan buckets
  • SPLS - SCV - Export Planned Purchase Plan buckets
  • SPLS - SCV - Export Planned Transfer Plan buckets
  • SPLS - SCV - Export Planned Production Plan orders
  • SPLS - SCV - Export Planned Purchase Plan orders
  • SPLS - SCV - Export Planned Transfer Plan orders
  • SPLS - SCV - Export Firm Planned Production Plan orders
  • SPLS - SCV - Export Firm Planned Purchase Plan orders
  • SPLS - SCV - Export Firm Planned Transfer Plan orders

New hierarchy-table links on the new SCV Core plan tables:

  • SPLS_BASE_ITEM_HIERARCHY_ITEM_SC_PURCHASE_PLAN
  • SPLS_BASE_ITEM_HIERARCHY_ITEM_SC_TRANSFER_PLAN
  • SPLS_BASE_ITEM_HIERARCHY_PROCESS_SC_PRODUCTION_PLAN
  • SPLS_BASE_LOCATION_HIERARCHY_PROCESS_SC_PRODUCTION_PLAN
  • SPLS_BASE_LOCATION_HIERARCHY_SUPPLIER_SC_PURCHASE_PLAN
  • SPLS_BASE_LOCATION_HIERARCHY_WAREHOUSE_ROUTES_IN_SC_TRANSFER_PLAN
  • SPLS_BASE_LOCATION_HIERARCHY_WAREHOUSE_ROUTES_OUT_SC_TRANSFER_PLAN
  • SPLS_BASE_ITEM_HIERARCHY_PROCESS_ALT_SC_PRODUCTION_PLAN
  • SPLS_BASE_LOCATION_HIERARCHY_PROCESS_ALT_SC_PRODUCTION_PLAN
  • SPLS_BASE_LOCATION_HIERARCHY_PROCESS_5L_SC_PRODUCTION_PLAN
  • SPLS_BASE_LOCATION_HIERARCHY_SUPPLIER_5L_SC_PURCHASE_PLAN
  • SPLS_BASE_LOCATION_HIERARCHY_WAREHOUSE_ROUTES_IN_5L_SC_TRANSFER_PLAN
  • SPLS_BASE_LOCATION_HIERARCHY_WAREHOUSE_ROUTES_OUT_5L_SC_TRANSFER_PLAN
  • SPLS_BASE_LOCATION_HIERARCHY_WAREHOUSE_ROUTES_IN_BY_METHOD_SC_TRANSFER_PLAN
  • SPLS_BASE_LOCATION_HIERARCHY_WAREHOUSE_ROUTES_OUT_BY_METHOD_SC_TRANSFER_PLAN

Updated macro:

  • Supply - Publish Plan to SCV

All newly added steps are executed only if the new application variable scv_use_business_plans_for_outbound = 1. Previously, existing steps related to Purchase/Production/Transfer orders are executed only if the new application variable scv_use_business_plans_for_outbound = 0. Existing steps related to other data entities (for example, Sales Plan and Process Groups) are always executed.

Loading the planning data from SCV into Supply Planning is aligned with publishing plan results. Supply Planning now loads supply plan from imported (firm) planned orders, instead of loading previously published supply plan (fixed and planned orders).

New interface services used to load supply plan:

  • SPLS - SCV - Import Planned Production Orders
  • SPLS - SCV - Import Planned Purchase Orders
  • SPLS - SCV - Import Planned Transfer Orders
  • SPLS - SCV - Import Firm Planned Production Orders
  • SPLS - SCV - Import Firm Planned Purchase Orders
  • SPLS - SCV - Import Firm Planned Transfer Orders
  • SPLS - SCV - Import Open Production Orders
  • SPLS - SCV - Import Open Purchase Orders
  • SPLS - SCV - Import Open Transfer Orders

New hierarchy-table links to the SCV Core tables holding imported supply plan:

  • SPLS_BASE_ITEM_HIERARCHY_ITEM_SC_PURCHASE_PLND_TRX
  • SPLS_BASE_ITEM_HIERARCHY_ITEM_SC_TRANSFER_PLND_TRX
  • SPLS_BASE_ITEM_HIERARCHY_PROCESS_ALT_SC_PROD_PLND_TRX
  • SPLS_BASE_ITEM_HIERARCHY_PROCESS_SC_PROD_PLND_TRX
  • SPLS_BASE_LOCATION_HIERARCHY_PROCESS_5L_SC_PROD_PLND_TRX
  • SPLS_BASE_LOCATION_HIERARCHY_PROCESS_ALT_SC_PROD_PLND_TRX
  • SPLS_BASE_LOCATION_HIERARCHY_PROCESS_SC_PROD_PLND_TRX
  • SPLS_BASE_LOCATION_HIERARCHY_SUPPLIER_5L_SC_PURCHASE_PLND_TRX
  • SPLS_BASE_LOCATION_HIERARCHY_SUPPLIER_SC_PURCHASE_PLND_TRX
  • SPLS_BASE_LOCATION_HIERARCHY_WAREHOUSE_ROUTES_IN_5L_SC_TRANSFER_PLND_TRX
  • SPLS_BASE_LOCATION_HIERARCHY_WAREHOUSE_ROUTES_IN_BY_METHOD_SC_TRANSFER_PLND_TRX
  • SPLS_BASE_LOCATION_HIERARCHY_WAREHOUSE_ROUTES_IN_SC_TRANSFER_PLND_TRX
  • SPLS_BASE_LOCATION_HIERARCHY_WAREHOUSE_ROUTES_OUT_5L_SC_TRANSFER_PLND_TRX
  • SPLS_BASE_LOCATION_HIERARCHY_WAREHOUSE_ROUTES_OUT_BY_METHOD_SC_TRANSFER_PLND_TRX
  • SPLS_BASE_LOCATION_HIERARCHY_WAREHOUSE_ROUTES_OUT_SC_TRANSFER_PLND_TRX

These macros are updated:

  • Supply - Import Scenario
  • Supply - Import Planned Orders
  • Supply - Import Fixed Orders
  • Supply - Import All Orders
  • Supply - Export Fixed Orders: Does not creating a PLAN LOG record in SZ_PLAN_PUBLISH_LOG.

In all macros, steps for the new interface services are conditionally executed (when scv_use_business_plans_for_outbound = 1). All existing steps are also updated to execute conditionally (when scv_use_business_plans_for_outbound = 0).

Note: This feature is available after appending the base (base.zip) and supply planning template (spls.zip) for this version. Publishing supply plans into new SCV Core plan tables and loading supply plan from imported data tables in SCV Core is enabled after setting the application variable scv_use_business_plans_for_outbound to 1. The default value for this application variable is 0, maintaining existing behavior. No additional role or privilege is required to access this feature.
