-Production Planning Methods in SAP (Relevant to MC7F and SOP)-
-Follow Production Planning Methods-
-1)Consistent Planning-
*)Ensures that aggregated data at higher levels is consistent with detailed data at lower levels.
*)When changes are made at one level, they are reflected at all levels to maintain data integrity.
*)This avoids mismatches between different levels of planning.
-2)Level-by-Level Planning-
*)Planning is executed step by step, moving from higher levels (e.g., product groups) to lower levels (e.g., individual materials).
*)Each level is planned separately, and changes at one level do not automatically update other levels.
*)Useful for structured, hierarchical planning.
-3)Delta Planning-
*)Focuses only on the changes (deltas) in planning data rather than reprocessing all data.
*)Reduces processing time by updating only the modified values.
*)Efficient for handling frequent small changes in production planning.
