Use

In Sales & Operations (SOP), this entry allows you to perform resource leveling in two situations:

  • The rough-cut planning profile is based on an information structure which does not contain the characteristic "plant".
  • The rough-cut planning profile is based on an information structure which does contain the characteristic "plant", but the characteristic values combination being planned includes more than one plant. For example, you plan all the materials in division TOYS and these materials are manufactured in several different plants.

SOP determines the plant for resource leveling as follows:

  1. Is "plant" one of the characteristics that was specified when the planning table was called up? If so, this is the plant via which the selection ID is determined. If not, the system continues with step 2.
  2. Has a plant been set in this field? If so, this is the plant via which the selection ID is determined. If not, the system continues with step 3.
  3. Has a universal SOP plant been set in the new Customizing step "Set planning plant for SOP"? If so, this is the plant via which the selection ID is determined. If not, no resource requirements can be read and resource leveling cannot be carried out.
