Exercise Objectives

After completing this exercise, you will be able to:

• Create Planning Book

• Create user specific planning views

Business Example

At the Precision Pump Company, you, as the Planning Manager, need to define the scope of the planning activities. You will use the planning books and data views to define the planning horizon, key figures, and macros available to planners.

Task 1:

1. Which standard planning books are assigned to planning area 9ASNP02?

Task 2:

1. Look at the structure of planning book 9ASNP94. Which data views are defined for this planning book. Which time buckets profile is assigned to the data views?

2. Where do you configure the time buckets profile for planning?

Task 3:

In order to collaboratively plan with your suppliers, you should create a planning book for them to access over the Internet.

1. In Planning area 9ASNP02 create your own planning book called SUP## for planning suppliers. Enter SUPPLIER as the text for the planning book and include the Supply Network Planning standard functions.

Ensure that the DistrDemand (Planned) and DistrReceipts (Planned) key figures and the APO Product and APO - Location characteristics from the planning area are included in the planning book.

Then create a SUPPLIER data view and enter PLANNING OF DELIVERY QUANTITIES as the description. Assign the 9ASNP time buckets profile to the future TB profile ID and maintain an initial column as the left outer

column. Include the chosen DistrDemand (Planned) and DistrReceipts (Planned) key figures from the planning book in the data view. Complete the planning book.

Task 4:
