If you reject the new production plan, the original plan is restored in both R/3 and the external planning system.
If you accept it, the new plan is saved in both systems.

In the external system, the entire plan is visible in interactive planning. In R/3, to see the entire plan you have to view the planning tables individually.
When you maintain settings in the Settings for External SOP Planning window, keep in mind that if you set the flag for single planning, only the materials or product group(s) in the planning table you are currently using will be planned.If you do not set the flag for single planning, all materials in the entire version could be affected by the planning process.
Materials can only be planned on a disaggregated level.
