The Planning situation function allows you to compare the results of standard SOP with the quantities planned in MRP. The sales and operations planner can thus check the extent to which the MRP controller has adopted the SOP data at different points on the planning horizon.

The SAPSOP layout of this report shows you the SOP information¾sales, production, and warehouse stock ¾in the upper half of the screen, and the MRP information ¾goods issues, goods receipts, and available quantities ¾in the lower half of the screen.

For a detailed description of this function, see PP Material Requirements Planning under "Evaluating the Planning Result".
