You must transfer planned independent requirements that you have created in
Demand Planning
(DP) to
Supply Network Planning
(SNP) and to
Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling
(PP/DS), so that you can plan the covering of planned independent requirements there, and if necessary, can create procurement proposals. To transfer the demand plan to PP/DS, release the demand plan to SNP. For the planned independent requirements that are within the
PP/DS horizon , you plan the receipts in PP/DS.
Note
Outside the SNP production horizon , you can plan the receipts in SNP. You can convert the procurement proposals created in SNP into PP/DS procurement proposals , as soon as they fall within the PP/DS horizon. For a scaled planning process like this, it is necessary to reconcile the planning responsibilities of SNP and PP/DS. This applies in particular if the SNP production horizon and the PP/DS horizon overlap.
You have created a demand plan in DP
You are using the same planning version for SNP and PP/DS
You have set the following indicators in the planning version:
PP/DS: Change planning active
SNP: Change planning active
You have specified the horizons for SNP and PP/DS in the location product master. If you have not specified a PP/DS horizon in the location product master, the system uses the PP/DS horizon from the planning version.
You release the demand plan to SNP in the desired target planning version. You can either:
The release period must be the same on the PP/DS horizon and SNP production horizon.
The system copies the requirements into the target planning version. This triggers the
Release a demand plan to Supply Network Planning
event for the relevant products in PP/DS. The system reacts in PP/DS with the action that has been set in the
PP planning procedure
for the relevant product, for this event.
You continue to execute PP/DS planning.
