Baan/LN Tip of the Week: Plan Codes
In Baan IV, plan items exist within the context of a plan code. A plan code includes only items of the MPS Item item type. Planned orders are independent of a plan code. Users can compare plan codes by means of the Plan Code Performance Comparison (cprmp4504m000) session.
The scenario concept in Infor LN replaces the plan code concept in Baan IV.
In Infor LN, the basic data for plan items is the same for all scenarios. However, users maintain not only the master plan within a scenario, but the planned orders as well.
For example, for each scenario, Users can specify:
- Special demand for an item.
- The availability of resources (in the Scenario – Availabilities (cprpd4160m000) session).
- The sourcing strategies and supply strategies.
Users can compare scenarios by means of the Performance Indicators (cprao2201s000) session.
