Re: Planning Strategy 40

Hi Rajen,

Really very excellent document. Also i have read on strategy 10 that "One of the most important features of this planning strategy (10) is the smoothing of the demand program".

Q1: What is the meaning of the "Smoothing of the demand program"?

Example Scenario:

I have the below details in the material master

Strategy: 10

With the above material master settings, i have created the sale order for the material of qty 10 with the delivery date of 31.01.2014. Also i have created the PIR of qty 8 with the date of 31.01.2014. In this case, the PIR qty is lesser than sale order qty.

Q2: How to fulfill the additional sale order qty  2 (10 - 8)?

Q3: Is this the best practice to modify the PIR qty in MD62 from 8 to 10 to handle this situation?

Thanks
