Hi Prabhu ,

As per your infomation you are thro' in releasing Demand Plan from DP to SNP.

As SNP is for a rough-cut & short to mid term planning, the smallest planning period in SNP is a day. So considering capacities for production, purchasing , distribution and transportation, planned orders, purchase requisitions and stock transport requisitions are created in SNP run.

Activities that are carried in SNp are :

<u>1.</u> SNP run using heuristics followed by capacity leveling OR Otimizer Run based on the cost and Penalties OR CTM which is based on Pegging relationship.

<u>2.</u> Deployment Run for distribution planning of the quantities produced and create stock transfer orders .

<u>3.</u> Transport Load Builder (TLB) run to Consolidate or merge available confirmed stock transfer orders into transport orders to optimize the truck load .

<u>4.</u> and releasing SNP results to SAP R/3 or to Demand Planning as the constrained forecast or to PP/DS for further processing

You can go thro' the stepwise building block for SNP as per below document ...<a href="http://help.sap.com/bp_scmv140/BBLibrary/documentation/B06_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_DE.doc">SNP Configuration Guide</a>
