In this step, you set the planning parameters of information structures and their key figures for use in Sales & Operations Planning. These parameters are as follows:

Information Structures

  • Table
This is the number of the information structure.
  • Number of rolling versions
At any one time, the system can manage one active planning version and a number of historical versions for an information structure. You specify here the number of historical versions which you want to be stored in the system.
  • Planning method
  • Consistent planning

  • Level-by-level planning

  • Delta planning

In consistent planning, planning levels are interdependent. The user plans at any characteristic level, and the data is then aggregated and disaggregated automatically up and down the planning hierarchy. The sum of the details always gives the planning value at the aggregate level. In contrast to level-by-level planning, the system stores the data at the most detailed hierarchy level only.
In level-by-level planning, planning data is saved for every characteristic value of an information structure. The planning levels are independent of each other, unless they are aggregated and/or disaggregated by manual intervention from the user. In order to aggregate, you need to write a macro (see SOP: Planning Types and Macros). You perform disaggregation for a key figure using the planning table function Edit -> Disaggregate line; the system then bases disaggregation on the proportional factors in the planning hierarchy master record.
In delta planning, aggregation is performed automatically, but not disaggregation.
  • planning plant
The plant you enter here is used in resource leveling. Resource leveling is always carried out with reference to a plant, even if no plant has been specified in the rough-cut planning profile. For more information, see Define scheduling levels, Define routing selection, and Set planning plant for SOP.
  • storage periodicity
The storage periodicity gives the time unit in which planning versions of the information structure are stored. The default storage periodicity is the update period defined in Customizing for the Logistics Information System.
If the planning method is consistent planning or delta planning, this entry is mandatory.
If the planning method is level-by-level planning, this entry is optional. If you do not define a storage periodicity, the data is saved as it is displayed in the planning table.
  • fiscal year variant
If the storage periodicity is "posting period", you must specify a fiscal year variant.
  • factory calendar
Make an entry here if you want to be able to disaggregate one or more key figures in this information structure with regard to time (see "time-based disaggregation" below).
  • exchange rate type
You define here whether, for example, an average rate, a buying rate, or a selling rate is to be used for currency conversion.
  • statistics currency
This is the currency in which you want to plan value key figures from this information structure. It will apply throughout the planning hierarchy.
  • base unit of measure
If the planning method is consistent planning, this is the default unit in which you plan quantity key figures from this information structure. The unit can be overwritten in the planning table provided that conversion is possible either via the SI system (e.g. 1 tonne = 1000 kg) or via conversion factors defined in the material master.
If the planning method is level-by-level planning, this is the default unit in which you plan quantity key figures from this information structure. This unit can be changed in the planning hierarchy for characteristic values above the material level provided that conversion is possible via the SI system (e.g. 1 tonne = 1000 kg). Key figure quantities are shown in the planning table in the unit of measure maintained for that characteristic value in the planning hierarchy. The unit can also be overwritten in the planning table provided that conversion is possible either via the SI system or via conversion factors defined in the material master.
When data is transferred from SOP to Demand Management, planned independent requirements are created in Demand Management in the base units of measure of the materials. This is not necessarily the same as the base unit you maintain here. If you plan a material in SOP in a unit other than its base unit, the necessary conversion factor between the two units needs to have been defined in the material master record. Otherwise, you cannot pass on this material's data to Demand Management.
  • zero values to MRP
You set this indicator if you want key figure values of zero to be transferred to Demand Management.
Note
When you perform this transfer, any planned independent requirements that already exist in Demand Management are overwritten with the SOP data.
  • capacity allowed
Enter a "1" here to allow the capacity situation to be displayed for this information structure. You will then be able to carry out resource leveling for the following resources:
  • work center capacities

  • materials

  • production resources and tools

  • costs

  • capacity key figure
If you want to carry out capacity planning in flexible planning on the basis of routings, enter here the field name of the key figure to which the capacity load is to be attached.
  • no unit conversion
Enter an "X" here to disallow units conversion for this information structure.
  • no user exits
Enter an "X" here to disallow the incorporation of non-SAP data into your sales and operations plans.
  • no 0 column usage
Enter an "X" here to disallow the setting of values (for example, opening stock) in the 0 column of the planning table.
  • no event usage
Enter an "X" here to disallow the use of events for this information structure.

Key Figures

  • forecast
You specify whether or not it will be possible to run a forecast for this key figure in this information structure.
  • time-based disaggregation
You specify whether or not, in the case of period splitting to a smaller period (e.g. months to weeks), you wish to disaggregate on a proportional basis.
You use the "factory calendar" setting (see above) in conjunction with this parameter.
Example
The key figure is stock level and you wish to maintain a constant stock level of 100 tonnes. Therefore, you do not disaggregate (that is, you do not set this indicator); when you change the period split from months to weeks, the stock level stays at 100 tonnes.
Example
The key figure is planned production order quantity. You wish to view it first in months and second in weeks. In this case, you do disaggregate. The system works out the key figure values in each of the periods with reference to the factor calendar.
  • aggregation type
This parameter is designed for use with the consistent planning method. In consistent planning, data is aggregated and disaggregated automatically to every level in the planning hierarchy. For each key figure, you choose one of three options:

  1. Average calculated

If you are in Create mode and enter or overwrite data at the aggregate level, this data is copied to the detailed level.
If you are in Change mode and overwrite data at the aggregate level, the values at the detailed level change so that each one represents the same proportion of the aggregate value as before.
If you create or change data at the detailed level, the new value at the aggregate level is calculated as the mean average of the values at the detailed level.
This option is designed for key figures that represent prices (for example, sales price) or percentages (for example, percentage of purchasing budget already released).

  1. Total created

This is the default setting for planned key figures.

The system performs aggregation by totaling the key figure values at the detailed level and writing the total to the aggregate level.

The system performs disaggregation using the proportional factors. In consistent planning, the proportional factors can be determined in four ways:
  • You can have the system calculate them on the basis of existing (normally actual) data (the menu option Master data -> Calculate proportions -> Using actual data). This calculation gives generic proportional factors that will be valid for all key figures, characteristic values, and periods unless they are overridden.

  • You can have the system calculate them on the basis of proportional factors already entered for adjacent levels in the planning hierarchy (the menu option Master data -> Calculate proportions -> Using planning hierarchy). This calculation gives generic proportional factors that will be valid for all key figures, characteristic values, and periods unless they are overridden.

Note
If you have calculated the proportional factors in one of the two ways just described and then change the values of a key figure in the planning table, you override the predefined proportional factors of this key figure in this period. This means that the next time disaggregation of this key figure for this period takes place, the system uses the new (temporary) proportions that it derives from the changed data at the detailed level. However, you can still apply the predefined proportional factors to this key figure. To do so, place the cursor on it and select Edit -> Disaggregate line.
  • You have not calculated the proportional factors and no planning data has yet been entered in this version of the information structure. The data is distributed evenly, that is, the proportional factor of each of the details is the same.

  • You have not calculated the proportional factors and data has already been entered for this version of the information structure. The system distributes the data according to the proportions which it derives from the key figure values at the detailed level.

Therefore, the following situations may arise:

If you create a version and enter data for the first time, the system performs disaggregation in one of two ways:

  • the data is distributed using the predefined proportional factors (see above)

This is the case if you have predefined the proportional factors. The data is disaggregated automatically to the detailed level when the planning table is regenerated, that is, when you select ENTER or switches to the detailed level with Goto -> Details.

  • the data is distributed evenly

This is the case if you have not predefined the proportional factors. The data is disaggregated automatically to the detailed level as soon as the screen is regenerated, that is, when you select ENTER or switch to the detailed level with Goto -> Details.

If you create a planning version and overwrite data which has just been entered, or if you change a planning version, the system performs disaggregation in one of two ways:

  • the data is distributed in accordance with the proportions it derives from the existing planning data

This is the case either if you have not predefined the proportional factors, or if you have changed the key figure values at the detailed level in certain periods, thus overriding the predefined proportional factors. The data is disaggregated to the detailed level as soon as the screen is regenerated, that is, when you select ENTER or switch to the detailed level with Goto -> Details.

  • the data is distributed using the predefined proportional factors (see above)

This is the case if you have predefined the proportional factors. However, if you have changed the key figure values at the detailed level in certain periods, thus overriding the predefined proportional factors in those periods, you must also select Edit -> Disaggregate line for this key figure. Otherwise, the system will disaggregate the key figure in these periods on the basis of the new proportions that it derives from the altered planning data.

  1. No aggregation

Neither aggregation nor disaggregation is performed. This option is designed for key figures which do not need to be aggregated or disaggregated, such as text lines or auxiliary lines.
This is the default for actual data.
