Carrying Out the Planning Run (PP-MRP-PR) 

Implementation Options

You use the Planning execution (PP-MRP-PR) component for planning material requirements for all materials or assemblies whose requirements or stock situation has changed.

To do this, you start a planning run.

Features

  • You can execute a planning run
    • for a plant, several plants, an MRP area, several MRP areas or a combination of these (total planning)
    • for a single material or product group (single-item planning).
  • The following functions are provided:
    • Total planning
    • Single-item, single-level planning
    • Multi-level single-item planning
    • Interactive planning
    • Multi-level, make-to-order production
    • Individual project planning

You can find information on individual project planning in the SAP documentation for the Project System.

  • In consumption-based planning, total planning and single-item planning are only executed on a single level.
  • Interactive planning is not useful in long-term planning and is therefore not supported by this function.
  • Using certain control parameters, you can determine how the planning run is to be executed.
