    Supply planning generates a match between supply and demand at the business line level resulting in manufacturing requirements. This master plan generates all orders needed to fulfil a given customer order situation or forecast requirements, it manages inventory stock targets, and it releases work orders to manufacturing. Supply planning is run daily over an 18-month horizon. Master scheduling incorporates business preference rules during material constrained planning and matching supply to demand. The highest priority business rule is based on demand and customer. Confirmed orders usually have the highest priority over forecast with the exception of some customer programs.

    Sales Planning and ForecastingSAP Component or Feature Available

    In Sales Target Planning, a sales manager set sales or contribution targets for the sales employees in the field. Since the sales manager and the sales employees use a common planning platform, the planning tasks performed by the sales manager are closely reconciled with the business planning and operational planning tasks performed by the sales employees. You can specify as many dimensions for entering planning figures (such as sales region, product group) as you need for your planning requirements. The different planners can access the same data but plan at different levels.
