Planning
Sales and operations planning is a planning and
forecasting module within the logistics area of R/3.
We can use SOP to help us forecast future sales,
develop production plans and perform feasibility
studies.
A sales plan could be developed, for example, from
information in the sales module of R/3.
We could use built-in forecasting tools to project
future sales.
A production plan could be developed based on the
sales plan.
The feasibility of the production plan could be
checked at a rough-cut level against key resources.
If necessary, we can change the plan.
We use a planning table in SOP to help us perform
these functions. It resembles a spreadsheet.
