Creating Production Campaigns 

Prerequisites

The data for the fixed lot size and the takt time (MRP view) must have been maintained in the master data of the material you want to produce in the campaign, if you want to use this data for campaign management. You can still change this data in the campaign.

To generate planned orders for the campaign, a material requirements planning run should be carried out. However, you can also still create planned orders from the campaign.

For settlement using business processes, these planned orders must be created along with the business process group to which they belong. See also Business Processes.
