Product Planning Table (Enhanced)

Use

In release, SAP APO 4.0 the product planning table will be enhanced with the following functions:

• Usability Improvements

• The navigation tree now gives you a better overview of your planning. You can now choose your sort criteria flexibly, as well as determine the sequence of the columns in the navigation tree. You can also hide individual columns to meet your requirements. Using a Business Add-In, you can also define your own colums in the navigation tree, which are then available in addition to the standard columns.

• You can switch off the automatic update of the navigation tree, so that it is not updated when the planning is changed. This gives you an overview of the previous planning situation, and allows you to manually update the navigation tree to meet your requirements. You then update the complete product planning table to see the planning done by others.

• Objects, that you highlight in one chart, can also be synchronously highlighted in all other charts.

• Using a new search function, you can search for individual objects, for example, a particular order.

• Some functions in the product planning table require considerable system resources. This can lead to a deterioration in performance. To avoid the system being strained in this way, you can specify a maximum number of products/resources, that should be considered by the system when accessing the product planning table, for example. By doing this, you can reduce the strain on the system, and therefore avoid performance problems.

• Planning and Better Visibility

• You can only display the sources of supply that are relevant for your planning. You can choose one from those available. For each source of supply, you can show or hide specific rows. You can do this either using the navigation tree, or the source of supply determination function.

• The totals rows in the periodic product view are now ready for entry.

• You can now also plan bottleneck resources using midpoint scheduling. When planning with bottleneck resources, you can plan using both forward and backward scheduling. In the case of forward scheduling, orders are displayed in the period in which the bottleneck activity begins. In the case of backward scheduling, orders are displayed in the period in which the bottleneck activity ends. A Business Add-In is available, if you want to specify your own criteria for bottleneck resources.

• The information rows in the periodic product view have been enhanced by adding the key figures maximum available quantity, minimum available quantity, minimum and maximum days' supply.

• Product Overview
  
  There is now a product overview in the product planning table, which is similar to the collective display given by the stock/requirements in SAP R/3. You can access the product overview either as a chart in the product planning table, or as an individual transaction. Various key figures and alerts give bottlenecks, which you can then focus on in your interactive planning.

• Business Add-Ins (BAdIs)
  The following BAdIs are now available in Customizing:

• Define Bottleneck Activities (new for SAP APO 4.0)

• Define Colors

• Calculate Flexible Periods

• Include Information Rows
