You can use the planning table for Repetitive Manufacturing as an evaluation and planning instrument for planned and production orders. This is useful if your production is organized as repetitive or continuous manufacturing.

You have created a production version for the materials that you want to process in the planning table.

You can use the planning table in addition to MRP. In the planning table the system displays all the planned orders and production orders that are generated in MRP, and you can process them in the planning table.

Planning and controlling for repetitive and continuous manufacturing is usually period and quantity oriented. The planning table is therefore based on periods and provides an overview of materials and production lines by period and quantity.

It contains functions for

• planning production quantities
• determining the current capacity load of the production line
• checking the availability situation of the products
• distributing production quantities between shifts

You can find further information about the planning table in the SAP documentation for Repetitive Manufacturing.
