 Matrix Activities

Use

If you execute production planning with the Rapid Planning Matrix (RPM), and you have defined that an activity matrix is to be created during planning, then the SAP APO system generates the necessary activities for the planned order, with the help of this matrix. You can display the selected activities for the planned order on this detail screen.

Integration

You maintain the activities in the iPPE process structure. The process structure represents the super task list. During planning, the activity matrix selects which activities are necessary for the individual planned order, based on the components you have assigned to the activities.

Prerequisites

To display the matrix activities in the detail area, use a detail profile assigned to the detail screen IPPE_ACT. For more information about the profiles, see Preparatory Measures . You select the detail profile in the User Settings.

You have used the Rapid Planning Matrix(RPM) for planning the component requirements and generated an activity matrix.
