 Transferring planned independent requirements from DP to PP/DS

Purpose

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 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.

End of the note.

Prerequisites

  • 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.

Process Flow

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  2. You continue to execute PP/DS planning.
