ETM Planning You can use ETM planning to help you enter requirements (for example, equipment needed by a usage site) that will then be processed by a stock and requirements planning controller. The controller uses the characteristics ( classes ) of the equipment that is needed to process the requirements and find the equipment that most exactly fulfils the requirements and is available for use at the required time .
