Documentation

Definition

Packet size for the planning run for requirements planning or long-term planning with parallel processing.

In a planning run with parallel processing, the materials are planned in several processes via asynchronous RFC. The package size determines the number of materials in the package. The smaller the package is, the better the system can execute the process in parallel. On the other hand, each package requires RFC communication expense and a loss in performance as a result of reimporting programs and data. The optimal package size greatly depends on the individual data situation.
