This document outlines the Long-Term Planning process within SAP, focusing on creating simulative versions of demand programs for analysis. Long-term planning allows users to create various versions of planned independent requirements (PIRs) which are then used to simulate the effect on Material Requirements Planning (MRP) and Capacity Planning. The document details the steps for creating inactive PIR versions, defining planning scenarios, executing MRP, and evaluating results, primarily using the Production Planning (PP) module.
Key steps covered in the document are:
- Create Inactive PIR Version (T-Code: MD61)
- Create Planning Scenario (T-Code: MS31)
- Execute MRP for Long-Term Planning (T-Code: MS01)
- Evaluate Capacity Planning (T-Code: CM38)
Each section provides step-by-step instructions, including relevant SAP transaction codes, data entry fields, and process flows to guide users through the process in the SAP system.
