Title

Collaborative Planning Status Management

Purpose

In the area of supply chain planning, the term collaborative planning refers to inter and intra enterpriseplanning within a supply chain. Potential participants in such a joint venture include suppliers, manufacturers,retailers and distributors. The goal of planning collaboratively is to reach a consensus-based planby sharing planning- relevant information among business partners. The consensus plan is then used asa basis for creating even more specific plans for each individual participant. One of the characteristicsof collaborative planning is its flexibility meaning that the actual processes can vary greatly fromone joint effort to another. Apart from the mutual goal of creating a feasible plan such as a consensusforecast, for example, one of the decisive factors in successful collaborative planning is the constellation of basic conditions. Basic conditions include:

• The number of partners

• The number of planning steps

• The dependencies between the steps

• The number and the aggregation level of the planning objects per step (for example, product/customer), especially if the aggregation level is different from step to step.

In order to maintain control over the collaborative planning process, in Customizing you define which planning objects (for example, products) are to be processed during which steps at what point in time.

Customizing consists of assigning alerts and statuses to each planning step for the planning objectsthat are to be processed. Status assignment is the basic method for controlling the process flow and is achieved with DP/SNP macros. Status assignment makes it possible to direct the planning process.
