In this section, you set the parameters that define a planning calendar.

You use the planning calendar to define flexible period lengths for planning and procurement in demand management and 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 MRP list or in the stock/requirements list according to your planning calendar periods.

Example

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.

Note

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

Activities for maintaining the planning calendar

  1. Create the planning calendar.
  2. Enter a key of up to three characters and a short description for the calendar.
  3. Enter a minimum period in workdays for the calendar.

  3. Enter your date specifications in the period split.
  4. Select, "Calculate periods".
  5. Enter a start date and a finish date to define the validity period of the planning calendar.
