Abstract: Abstract The application for rough-cut production planning in SAP APO™ is SNP. The basic properties of SNP – e.g. the bucket-oriented planning and the planning book – are described in chapter 9. The objectives of rough-cut production planning in general are a rough-cut capacity check – either on finished product level or on component level, make-or-buy decisions based on capacity check resp. optimisation, calculation and check of the dependent demand for key components and the procurement of key components with long planned delivery time. Within SNP the three applications SNP heuristic, SNP optimisation and CTM (with SNP master data) exist. The key question for deciding which one to apply is whether the information about the capacity load and some basic manual capacity levelling possibilities is sufficient or whether finite planning is really required. In the first case the SNP heuristic should be the appropriate application, else either SNP optimisation or CTM have to be considered. Each of these have a different approach to production planning including the scheduling of the orders. The common properties are described in the following. SNP Planning Book The preferred tool to visualise the SNP results and perform interactive planning is the SNP planning book as described in section 9.5. Figure 14.1 shows the production planning specific part of the SNP planning book. Note that the SNP planning horizon which is blocked for SNP planning is highlighted for the key figure ‘production (planned)’. The respective key figures and the according categories are listed in table 14.1.
