Long Term Planning 14 Aug, 2010 10:03 PM

Hello,

 

What is long term planning?

 

Please dont sent SAP help.

 

I want to learn with an example when we need the long term planning and what is advantage with it?

Dear , 

1. The only configurtion that we need to make for the LOng term palnning is in the Tcode OPu5

 

OPu5---Define scheduling parameters for planned orders

planning scenarios for long-term planning you can define scheduling parameters for operative planning. Here

you must specify on what level scheduling is to be carried out (detailed-, production- rate or rough-cut). The

date adjustment takes place based on this scheduling level. If you do not maintain any parameters for long-

term planning then scheduling is carried out in long-term planning with the same parameters as in operative

planning.

 2. Once you have the setting then create a planning scenario in ms31 and inside theplanning scenarion you

need to maintain the required settings.

 

You can find the data for this process under .

Hi Maulik ,

 

Check this it would help,

 

You need to Copy Long term Planning results to Operative planning. Then only you can convert.

Long term planning is for simulation purpose. The Result of LTP is Simulative Proposals which CAN NOT BE

CONVERTED INTO PURCHASE ORDER

 

Because LTP means Simulative Mode Not Operative Mode.

To Copy LTP planned order to operative planning, you have to set Firm indicator for all planned orders you

want to copy to operative planning .

 

To copy you have to Run MD43 & also you can set Creation indicator =1 to create direct PR in operative

planning

 In the planning Result Screen -Go from menu Edit -> Copy firmed planned order from LTP-> Enter number of

the planning scenario & copying period.-> choose copy planned order & save.

 

Now go to Md04 check results.

 

Basically LTP is simulative MRP to simulate and see all the results like production capacity plan/ raw material

plan/ profit margin. Here we are using the same master data like material master, recipe, BOM etc.

 

In MS31 - you create a LTP version where you can mention the PIR version where you enter the planning data

in MD61. 

Release this version and maintain the planning data like qty per period in MD61 with the version mentioned in

MS31, make sure that the version is not active so that LTP consider this inactive quantity data.

 

Run MS01/MS02/MS03 etc to run simulative MRP.

Results can be seen in MS04/MS05.

 

We can see the raw material requirement in Purchase info system in MCEC/MCEA/MCEB/MCB&/MCB) 

Capacity situation in CM38.

 

You can transfer the activity data to cost center through KSPP, which will give the activity cost simulation.

Configuration setting in LTP:

The only configuration that we need to make for the Long term planning is in the

Tcode OPu5

1 . OPu5---Define scheduling parameters for planned orders

 

planning scenarios for long-term planning you can define scheduling parameters for operative planning. Here

you must specify on what level scheduling is to be carried out (detailed , production-rate planning or rough-

In long-term planning, you can create your own versions of the demand program, which are only used for

simulative planning. This means you can calculate and compare the effects of various versions of the demand

program in simulative mode .

 

After carrying out the simulative MRP run ( MS02) in LTP , you have to transfer the results of the desired

version to real MRP and run MD02
