Main
intension is to check the capacity situation, material requirement and vendor /supplier ability to
provide the material in proper time. This is not an actual run but a simulative run where actual
plan is not being affected. It is possible to transfer the plan from simulative area to operative area
if through simulation it is found that all capacity and requirement can be fulfilled.
Reconciliation of capacities.
The main intension of LTP is to simulate different versions of the demand program. But it is not
necessary that simulative planning has to be there always with long term. It can be short term
also as there is no time restriction.
Generally planned independent requirement version can be active or inactive. For LTP planned
independent version should be inactive as it is a simulative version. Only active PIR version is
being taken for operative planning.
Existing master data can be used for LTP. But to have a different master data (BOM and Routing)
for LTP is also possible. Below are the setting.
BOM: A special LTP BOM can be created. In customizing Define BOM usage (OS20) and
Define order of priority of BOM usage(OS31) has to be defined. Then selection ID and
selection priority has to be maintained.
Below are the screens where the data has to be maintained (as already explained this is not
mandatory, its the requirement of individual)
The customized selection ID has to be given in LTP scenario to have a different master data.
Routing: To have a different routing data in customizing define scheduling parameters for
planned orders (OPU5) has to be maintained.
Double click on and select new entries.
Planning period will be the time between which the PIR will be considered.
Here we can also select BOM selection ID if at all we want to use a different master data (BOM).
As well we have to assign plant to the scenario and confirm so that the scenario will be
applicable for that particular plant
Then the scenario has to be released
After releasing the screen will look like below. The scenario will be released.
If some parameter has to be changed in the scenario in future then in MS02 first we have to do
cancel release and then change. Again we have to release after change.
By this all the requirement element can be checked for the future availability. As well capacity
can be checked also from CM38.
Detail overview
The detail can be seen as per the proposals.
Standard overview
In this view the load can be seen. This is the deciding factor for considering the requirement in
LTP and whether to enhance capacity. Decisions are being taken for future course of action
regarding capacity.
Once the simulation is fine then the version can be copied through MS64.
Generally if the simulation is fine and workable in future dates, the same requirement can be sent
in operative planning. The data can be seen in MD04 once the requirement came in operative
planning
