Can anyone explain the functionality of "Planning Proposal" in Logistics Execution in R/3 for shipment planning? And also what master data if any is required to be maintained (say, Planning Profile?).

Hi Sunil,

The planning proposal enables you as the material requirements planning (MRP)

controller to simplify your manual planning.

As you create or change shipments manually, the planning proposal gives you

default profiles, which include "rules" that automatically create shipments and

fill them with data.

You can still make manual changes to the planning proposal during processing,

unlike collective processing for shipment creation, where you cannot influence

processing manually.

You can save the selection criteria that you use for collective processing for

shipment creation as a selection variant. You can also save combination criteria

that you have maintained as a combination profile and save the data that is used

to fill the shipment as a data profile.

You can then access these profiles as you carry out collective processing for the

automatic creation of shipments, for example. You can also save settings, selection

criteria, combination criteria and data together in one planning profile. Technically,

the planning profile is a variant of collective processing for shipment creation.

A planning profile can be assigned to a shipment type.

If you select a planning proposal while you are creating shipments manually, a

dialog box containing that planning proposal with its corresponding data appears,

provided a planning proposal was assigned to the shipment type. All default values

in the dialog box can be changed except for the basic data (transportation planning

location and shipment type), since you just entered that data in the initial screen for

creating a shipment. When you choose Execute, the selected deliveries are automatically

put together in a shipment and filled in with data, according to the specifications you just

made. If errors or warnings occur, they are recorded in a log.
