Simulation of demand program at all BOM level
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.
Planning period will be the time between which the PIR will be considered.
As well whether to consider SO or to switch off PTF , whether to consider receipt etc can be decided in
planning scenario.
Here we can also select BOM selection ID if at all we want to use a different master data (BOM).
Now we have to select
As well we have to assign plant to the scenario and confirm so that the scenario will be applicable for that
particular plant
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
By this all the requirement element can be checked for the future availability. As well capacity can be
checked also from CM38.
Detail overview
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.
