Hi prabhat,

Time bucket profile is the category under which you can have storage bucket profile and planning bucket profile. Time bucket profile is the general terminology.

Storage bucket profile defines the time buckets in which data based on a given planning area is saved in Demand Planning or Supply Network Planning. Planning bucket profile defines the time buckets for planning.

Let me knwo if it helps.

Hi Prabhat,

As you have rightly indicated, everything points out to

time buckets.

The reason being that these are all time bucket related

indicators which will decide on the storage level in the

time bucket and planning level in the bucket

While releasing from DP to SNP, against the planning

bucket profile, system calls for the time bucket profile

id which is one of its constituent.

Hence both planning bucket profile and storage bucket

profile are the time-based planning levels for time bucket

profiles

Thanks to All,

my confusion is we create SBF for PA and we create Time Bucke Profile ID for Data view. Navigation :--- Current Settings ->Maintain Time Bucket Profile for demand planning and SNP.

So how we can say that Time Bucket profile is a general term. and we use the same time bucket profile as "Planning bucket profile" when we release DP to SNP.Here we select the time bucket profile ID only.

Please explain this thing.

Thanks,

Hi,

Well I would like to say that A planning buckets profile contains the periodicities in the storage buckets profile or a subset of the periodicities that you defined in the storage buckets profile. Storage bucket profile is the entire horizon for data storing.

Now these periodiicities of the storage buckets profile is your time bucket profile.

Say you have a storage bucket profile of 30 years. Now you want to store data in past and future horizon for planning purpose. say 3 months in past and 6 months in future. This 3 months and 6 months are your time bucket profile.

Now your 'Planning bucket profile' is the combination of your 'time bucket profl ID' (future and past). If you dont have past time bucket profl, then your time bucket and planning bucket profile are same (6months, if you use this time bucket profl), and if you use past time bucket profile also, then your planning bucket profile is 9 months. (3+6).

I hope it is clear to you now.

Hi Prabhat,

Adding to the above two posts, basically time bucket profile has two

divisions like storage bucket profile and planning bucket profile.

SBF will be configured for data storage whereas PBF will be

configured for planning the stored data with SBF

Both will be used during demand and supply planning

Hi,

Adding on to Gaurav's post you can specifically see the terminology"Planing bucket profile" during rel to SNP(mc90) and Time bucket profile in the data view.
