Capacity Planning in Sales and Distribution

You can create one of the following orders when maintaining a sales document (for example, a sales order) using assembly processing:

From within these orders you can branch directly to the planning table to display the capacity situation.

You can specify whether an assembly order, a planned order, a network or a process order is to be created automatically when you create a sales order. You do this on the MRP1 screen in the material master using the strategy group. The requirements class which is linked to the strategy group determines which order type is created.
