Process documentation Transferring planned independent requirements from DP to PP/DS  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Purpose

You must transfer planned independent requirements that you have created in Demand Planning (DP) to Supply Network Planning (SNP) and to Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS), so that you can plan the covering of planned independent requirements there, and if necessary, can create procurement proposals. To transfer the demand plan to PP/DS, release the demand plan to SNP. For the planned independent requirements that are within the PP/DS horizon, you plan the receipts in PP/DS.

Note

Outside the SNP production horizon, you can plan the receipts in SNP. You can convert the procurement proposals created in SNP into PP/DS procurement proposals, as soon as they fall within the PP/DS horizon. For a scaled planning process like this, it is necessary to reconcile the planning responsibilities of SNP and PP/DS. This applies in particular if the SNP production horizon and the PP/DS horizon overlap.

Prerequisites

Process Flow

  1. You release the demand plan to SNP in the desired target planning version. You can either:

The release period must be the same on the PP/DS horizon and SNP production horizon.
  1. The system copies the requirements into the target planning version. This triggers the Release a demand plan to Supply Network Planning event for the relevant products in PP/DS. The system reacts in PP/DS with the action that has been set in the PP planning procedure for the relevant product, for this event.
  2. You continue to execute PP/DS planning.
