You can use this business function to consider SNC-planned receipts in your Capable-to-Match (CTM) planning run, where the SNC-planned receipts are considered as constraints. In a Supplier-Managed Inventory (SMI) scenario or in a Dynamic Replenishment (DR) scenario, you can integrate planned receipts created by the supplier with the customer’s SAP APO system. You can send demand forecast data (DR scenario) or inventory and demand data (SMI scenario) to SAP SNC and request that the supplier send planned receipts back to you based on the data. You can use the SNC-planned receipts in your Capable-To-Match planning run. This allows you to create a more accurate supply plan.
