Planning procedure

Use

Standard planning procedure 1 (manual with check)

You use these planning procedures if you want to plan a product manually. To cover requirements for the product, you must create receipts manually or by using a heuristic.  

Standard planning procedure 2 (manual without check)

Standard planning procedure 3 (cover dependent requirements immediately)

You use this planning procedure if you want the system to automatically plan a product immediately. For this planning procedure, the system automatically covers new or changed dependent or stock transfer requirements for a product by immediately creating new receipts.

As a rule, you should only use this planning procedure for the Capable-to-Promise process. In this process, you use this planning procedure for the finished product and for the components.

Standard planning procedure 4 (Planning in the planning run)

You use this planning procedure if you do not want the system to automatically plan a product immediately after a planning-relevant event occurs, but rather during the next net change planning run, using a heuristic.

Standard planning procedure 5

You use this planning procedure for scenarios in which you only want to create procurement proposals in PP/DS by converting ATP tree structures. The multilevel ATP check is an example of this type of scenario.

It is typical for this planning procedure that the system does not react to the typical planning-relevant events or – as for most master data changes – reacts by reexploding orders. Procurement proposals should only result from the conversion of the ATP tree structures.
