    Demand Planning is used to create a collaborative forecast of market demand for your company's products. This process allows you to take into consideration the many different factors that affect demand. Supply Planning integrates purchasing, manufacturing, distribution, and transportation so that comprehensive tactical planning and sourcing decisions can be simulated and implemented on the basis of a single, global consistent model.

    Supply Network PlanningSAP Component or Feature Available
    Supply Network Planning integrates purchasing, production, distribution (of demands), and transportation so that comprehensive mid-term to long-term tactical planning and sourcing decisions can be simulated and performed on the basis of a single, global consistent model. Within Multilevel Demand and Supply Matching the CTM planning algorithm is used to perform a finite, priority-based, quota arrangement-based and order-oriented planning of the supply chain. The SNP Optimizer performs a finite, cost-based, and bucket oriented planning of the supply chain. By using SNP heuristics a infinite quota arrangement or priority-based and bucket oriented planning of the supply chain is performed.
