Control Parameters for the Planning Run

Use

Various control parameters are available for the total planning procedure and for single-item planning, which you can set in the initial screen of the planning run.

You use these parameters to determine how the planning run is to be executed and which results are to be produced.

Features

The control parameters include:

Planning run type

You can choose whether all materials are to be planned or only those with MRP relevant changes.

Creation indicator for procurement proposals for materials that are procured externally

You can choose whether planned orders, purchase requisitions or schedule lines should be created for materials that are procured externally.

Creation indicator for MRP lists

You can define whether MRP lists are to be created.

Planning mode

You can determine how the system is to deal with procurement proposals (planned orders, purchase requisitions, scheduling agreement lines) from the last planning run, which are not yet firmed, in the next planning run.

Scheduling

You can choose basic date calculation or lead time scheduling.
