SOP through Long Term Planning Transfer to LIS/PIS/Capacity
1 Purpose Businesses typically have an annual planning exercise known as Annual Operating Planning (AOP). In this planning all aspects of the business are planned, namely: revenue, production, direct procurement, and indirect procurement, capacity, and product/overhead costs.
The AOP planning is also sometimes referred to as the Annual budget. The plan is prepared for the next fiscal year and data collection for the plan / budget is usually started in the last quarter of the current fiscal year.
The AOP exercise generally begins with forecasting the sales quantities and revenue for the coming fiscal year.
The sales mangers review and adjust the sales quantities based on their information and judgment. The revised sales quantity plans are loaded into CO-PA. The sales quantities are again reviewed, adjusted manually if necessary and then valuated. This results in valuated sales revenue and cost of sales for the planned sales quantities.
The process details up to this step are described in 172 – AOP - Sales Qty Budget and Transfer to SOP.
The current business process description deals with the process steps starting from this point of the AOP process.
The accepted sales quantities are then transferred to Sales and Operations Planning (SOP). In SOP rough cut capacity planning of the budget sales quantities occurs in order to verify whether the goods to be sold can run through the company’s bottleneck resources which are needed to produce these goods.
After the production plan has been roughly proven feasible by SOP, it is transferred to a planning scenario in Long Term Planning module (LTP) by creating planned independent requirements (PIR), which reflect the production plan generated by SOP.
Based on these PIRs Materials requirements planning (MRP) is run in a simulated mode to create and review planned requirements for all the materials (components, raw materials) and all resources required to execute the production plan created in SOP. Simulation of MRP also allows review of capacities of the plants. Capacity leveling can then be carried out to smooth out the bottlenecks in the capacities.
After having run MRP as described above the prerequisites are given to carry out one of the key objectives of the logistics part of AOP: to calculate the total utilization of the activity types assigned to the manufacturing work centers which are allocated by the production plan. The utilization is based on the consumption of activity types being defined in the routings of the (semi finished and finished) products being derived from the production plan.
The aggregated utilization of the work center’s activity types is the basis for the budgeting process of the manufacturing cost centers.

4.2 Sales and Operations Planning
Use Sales & Operation Planning (SOP) is the link between sales planning and manufacturing.
It is a forecasting and planning transaction to enable sales, production, inventory targets to be reached on the basis of historical, existing, and estimated future data. In the process described below we use SOP
To verify the sales (demand) plan coming from COPA or other sources
To create a rough-cut production plan aimed to satisfy demand and to meet inventory targets
To visualize capacity utilization of the critical resources (usually the bottleneck resources) in order to verify the feasibility of the plan at an aggregated level.
SOP is particularly suitable for long- and medium-term planning.
In this process, you view the SOP figures. This is done after sales figures have been transferred from CO-PA to SOP.
You can visualize the following key figures
Sales plan
Production plan
Projected Stock
4.2.1 Demand Verification (Checking Sales Plan)
Use
In this activity, you check the sales plan at product group level. In this scenario it is assumed that the sales plan has been created at material level.
Therefore you can aggregate your sales figures to a product group in order to verify demand at an aggregated level.
Also the opposite direction is possible (but not shown in this scenario): If your sales plan has been created at product group level you can disaggregate the plan according to predefined proportional factors to the material level. In this case it is useful to define the proportional factors according to historical sales figures to come to realistic forecasts at material level.
Prerequisites
This can be done after sales figures have been transferred from CO-PA to SOP.

4.3 Long Term Planning
In long-term planning, future demand programs are simulated within a planning run. This allows you to calculate capacity requirements, activity type requirement of the cost centers, and of the requirement of purchased parts.
The demand programs that can be simulated may include planned independent requirements and/or sales orders.
You can evaluate and optimize the simulation with regard to material requirements planning, capacity planning, order volumes, purchasing budget, cost center planning, and inventory

controlling. Following the evaluation of the simulative planning results, you can replace the current demand program with the preferred version in long-term planning and can continue it there.
You can transfer the data for external procurement to the purchasing information system using a special report and evaluate it there.
The principle of long-term planning is to simulate different versions of the demand program. The simulation can take into account operative data (for example, master data, sales orders, purchase orders, production orders).
The simulation can be used to optimize the demand program and the production and procurement data with regard to material requirements planning, capacity planning, order volumes, purchasing budget, cost center planning, and inventory controlling.
Long-term planning can also be executed on the basis of operative master data: BOMs, routings, work centres, and material masters. This means you do not have to create any new operative data.

Standard costs for purchased materials need to be periodically reviewed and updated, if necessary, to match the current market conditions and negotiated prices.
This process begins with transferring the quantities of materials required from long term planning and downloading the latest purchase prices. The material requirements valuated with the latest purchase prices are reviewed by the buyers to compare with the current standards. The buyers update the spreadsheet with the prices that they determine should be the new standard. The updated prices are then uploaded as the new planned prices. These planned prices are used by the product costing run to valuate the semi finished and fished goods to come up with the standard cost of goods sold for the final products.
Procedure
For this activity, run the 174–Purchased Matl Price Planning scenario document in its entirety, using the master data from this scenario document.
4.5 Manufacturing Cost Center Planning
Use
During the annual budgeting process, the managers of non-manufacturing and manufacturing cost centers such as sales, marketing, administrative, research and development, etc. plan the costs for various cost types/elements for their respective cost centers. The usual starting point for development of these plans is the actual data for the current/previous year.
In this process, the previous year’s actual expenses for these cost centers are copied into an AOP budget version in cost center accounting. As an alternative the previous year’s budget data can also be used as a starting point for the exercise. The data in this version is downloaded into spreadsheets by each cost element and cost center. The respective cost center managers review and update the budget values according to their requirements and plans. Then these plans are uploaded back into the system. The plans in the system are reviewed and finalized.
The planned depreciation on fixed assets is transferred separately to the cost center plan version. The system calculates the planned depreciation on assets by cost center based on the asset values posted on the cost centers. In the case of cost centers having machinery, the depreciation is planned based on cost center and activity type.
The resource requirements in the form of planned activity quantities are transferred from Long Term Planning to the cost centers as planned activity consumption. Plan reconciliation between the LTP activity requirements and manually planned requirements on the operational cost centers is carried out. Once the activity quantities and budget amounts are finalized, planned activity prices are calculated in the system.
Procedure
For this activity, run the 176 - Manuf. Center Cost Planning scenario document in its entirety, using the master data from this scenario document.
