| # Enterprise Planning This topic lists the differences topics for Enterprise Planning. The topic describes the differences between Infor LN 10 and Infor LN 10.2.1. New and changed functionality Project Pegging Selected finished goods and components within a project need cost accountability. You can now indicate if project pegging is required for finished goods and components. During the life cycle of these items, the pegging policy can be changed or exceptions made for individual items. Project Group Planning You can use Planning groups to segregate the planning of project specific demand and supply. Commingling and cost transfer rules are defined on planning group level to control supply planning of project pegged items within the planning group or within several planning groups. Project excess inventory occurs if the actual consumption is less than originally planned, or lot size policies cause the ordering or production of more items than required. Unless the customer chooses to dispose of the excess inventory, it can be consumed by other projects. Transfer of excess inventories is accomplished by permanent cost transfer. A cost transfer is a project cost account change and not a physical transfer of items. Cost transfer rules determine under which conditions excess inventory on projects is made available for transfer to other projects or to allowed to receive excess inventory from other projects. Transfer rules for 'transfer out' and 'transfer in' can differ per project. You can define the rules for each direction separately. Commingling of project requirements for project pegged items is possible across project planning groups. Commingling can also be restricted to a specific planning group. You can exclude specific project cost accounts from commingling. Supply orders for cost pegged items have a project peg distribution. The peg distribution contains the following: Item Required quantity Unit Configuration Project cost account elements The distribution line shows information related to the top demand order for example: customer, contract, program, prime contractor, top demand order data. Manual permanent project cost transfers can be preformed in case of the following exceptions: Override a supply decision of the planning engine. Avoidance of stagnation in production because of rejects or defective items by transferring items from other project. Transfer of excess inventory from a project when the project needs to be closed. In this situation it is possible to transfer all items with excess at once. You can also transfer non-excess transfer is possible to a demand with a higher priority, and raise a new supply to fulfill the demand that belongs to the original cost peg.
