You can use base planning objects for the following purposes:
At the beginning of the planning phase
When you are at the draft stage of planning new products and services
When there is no master data (material master, BOM, routing, master recipe) in the system
When you want to change existing material cost estimates
You can also access data in the system when you are creating base planning objects. This data includes materials and material cost estimates, internal activities, services, cost centers, cost elements and activity types, work centers, and other base planning objects.
