Documentation
Definition
Defines the time buckets in which data is displayed and planned in Demand Planning or Supply Network Planning. A planning buckets profile contains the periodicities or a subset of the periodicities that you defined in the storage buckets profile.
Creation and Use of a Planning Buckets Profile
The first row defines the entire length of the time horizon. You make entries in the columns Number (of periods) and Display periodicity. The content of the other columns is displayed automatically when you press Enter. To see exactly which buckets will be displayed in interactive planning, choose Period list. Do not include any periodicity that is not in the storage buckets profile.
Having created planning bucket profiles, you use them to define the future planning horizon and the past horizon by entering them in a planning book: one for the future planning horizon and one for the past horizon. The system displays the horizons in interactive planning by starting with the smallest time bucket and finishing with the largest time bucket. The future horizon starts with the smallest time bucket, on the planning horizon start date, and works forwards, finishing with the largest time bucket. The past horizon starts with the smallest time bucket the day before thestart of the future horizon and works backwards, finishing with the largest time bucket:
<------------------------|------------------------>
Past horizon Future planning horizon

In the above example, the time horizon spans two years. Of these two years, the first year is displayed in months. The first two months of this year are displayed in weeks.

Definition
Use
In this field, you can define an alternative planning buckets profile for the time buckets profile specified in the planning book. If you leave the field blank, the system uses the time buckets profile from the planning book.

Procedure
In the master forecast profile, enter a planning buckets profile that contains a single periodicity (for example, months only).
Examples
Dependencies
There are some interdependencies between fields in the master forecast profile: the sum of the periods in the planning buckets profile (field Time buckets prfl.) must not be smaller than the combined sum of the periods that define the forecast and historical horizons (fields under Forecast horizon and History horizon); that is, the sum of the periods in the planning buckets profile may be the same as or greater than the combined sum of the periods that define the forecast and historical horizons.
Supplementary Documentation - /SAPAPO/TBID0002
Procedure
Enter a planning buckets profile to determine how the demand plan is read from liveCache time series for the release to Supply Network Planning.
The use of a planning buckets profile for the release from DP to SNP is optional. If you use a planning buckets profile, the system releases the demand plan in the buckets in which data was planned. The planning buckets profile must be as big as or bigger than the release horizon specified by the From and To dates.
If you do not enter a planning buckets profile, the data is read in technical periods. The storage buckets profile determines what the technical periods are. Technical periods are not visible to the demand planner.
Examples
See the Application Help for Demand Planning (the section Release of the Demand Plan to SNP).
Dependencies
The period split also determines how the demand plan is released to SNP. You set the period split in the product master record (the SNP2 tab).
The factory calendar determining which days are workdays is the shipping calendar that you enter in the location master record.
