Set the parameters that define a planning calendar.

You use the planning calendar to define flexible period lengths for planning and procurement in MRP. For this purpose, you can maintain period splits of your choice (for example, Wednesday to Tuesday). If you work with the planning calendar, you can also display the period totals display in the Monitor Stock / Requirements List app or in the Material Planning Data – Read API (API_MRP_MATERIALS_SRV_01) according to your planning calendar periods.

If, for example, a vendor always delivers his goods every second Wednesday, you can use the planning calendar to define a period length of two weeks starting on the Wednesday and ending on the Tuesday, two weeks later. The period lot size can also be set accordingly so that, on the one hand, the requirements are always grouped together within the defined period length, and on the other, the order proposals are planned in such a way that the delivery date lies at the end of the period.

If you want to determine flexible procurement dates, assign the planning calendar to the material with the appropriate lot size in the material master record.

Defining a planning calendar can be divided into the following steps:

  1. Enter Data for the Planning Calendar
    1. Enter a key of up to three characters and a short description for the calendar.
    2. Select a calculation rule. The calculation rule determines the period split procurement date (for example, whether the period lengths are to be calculated per week, month, or year).
    3. Determine whether you want the SAP system to choose either the previous or the following working day if a procurement date falls on a day that is defined as a non-working day. Depending on the situation, you can also choose No new period or Do not displace.
    4. Enter a minimum period in working days for the calendar. You use the minimum period to define a period that you require to reprocess the planning calendar.
  2. Enter Data for the Calculation Data
Depending on the calculation rule, enter for the period calculation the number of the weekday in the month, determine the weekday, the number of working days, and the start date from which the system calculates the planning calendar periods.
  1. Enter Data for the Planning Periods
    1. Select Calculate Periodsor enter the periods manually.
  • If you select Calculate Periods, enter a start date and a finish date to define the validity period of the planning calendar.

  • If you enter the periods manually, enter the Period from and the Period todates. Be aware, that it is not possible to create planning periods with gaps. This means the Period to has to be one day before the Period from of the following row. Otherwise, the system issues a message. You will also get a message if the periods are overlapping.

If you want to determine the procurement dates for a material using the planning calendar, note that the receipts created in the planning run must lie within the validity period of the planning calendar. Otherwise the planning run will be terminated. Therefore, you must always make sure that sufficient calendar periods are available.
  1. If you entered the periods manually, enter the period number for each period.
  2. If you want to protect the period from automatic changes, select the Firmed checkbox.
