Hi

RCCP verifies that you have sufficient capacity available to meet the capacity requirements for your master schedules.RCCP is a long-term plan capacity planning tool that marketing and production use to balance required and available capacity, and to negotiate changes to the master schedule and/or available capacity. You can change your master schedules by changing master schedule dates and increasing or decreasing master schedule quantities. You can change your available capacity by adding or removing shifts, using overtime or subcontracted labor, and adding or removing machines.

RCCP is a gross capacity planning technique that does not consider scheduled receipts or on-hand inventory quantities when calculating capacity requirements. Your rough cut capacity plans are therefore a statement of the capacity required to meet your gross production requirements.

Use RCCP to validate your master schedules against key and critical resources before you use the planning process to generate detailed MRP plans. This ensures that you use a realistic, achievable master schedule to drive the planning process

Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP) provides inventory and distribution plans to meet product demand forecasts. We can manage the process of matching your inventory to customer orders, so you never have to worry about having the wrong inventory in the wrong place at the wrong time. For example If multiple warehouses or distributor inventories are present, the DRP system will attempt to balance their inventories by shifting available units between inventories based on parameters established by the user that indicate the level at which inventories may interact with one another.

Roughly:

RCCP is used in SNP heueristics - mid range planning; normally outside of production horizon but they can overlap

PPDS: is detailes planning (inside production horizon)
