| Remove Plan Items of closed Projects (cprpd1220m000) |  |
| Use this session to remove all plan-item data for a plan item that you will never use anymore. This action can improve system performance, especially if you have a very large number of relatively simple projects. You can start this session by zooming from the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session. The session also generates a report that lists all removed plan items, and the plan items that could not be removed. If the plan item is still used somewhere, ERP LN does not remove the plan item. Then, to get more detailed error messages, try to delete the plan item manually by using the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session. If the Simulation check box is selected, ERP LN prints the report, but does not actually remove the plan items. Note This session does not remove item data (in packages other than Enterprise Planning); this session only removes plan item data. Note You can reopen a closed project. In that case, you cannot restore the removed plan item data; you must rebuild the plan item data manually. If you remove the plan items of a closed project, and copy the closed project to a new project, ERP LN automatically recreates the removed plan items in the new project.

Fields | Description
Plan Item | An item with the order system Planned. The production, distribution, or purchase of these items is planned in Enterprise Planning based on the forecast or the actual demand. You can plan these items by means of: Master-based planning (similar to master production scheduling techniques). Order-based planning (similar to material-requirements planning techniques). A combination of master-based planning and order-based planning. Plan items can be one of the following: An actual manufactured or purchased item. A product family. A basic model, that is, a defined product variant of a generic item. A group of similar plan items (or families) is called a product family. The items are aggregated to give a more general plan than the one devised for individual items. A code displayed by the item code's cluster segment shows that the plan item is a clustered item that is used for distribution planning.
Planner | The employee or department responsible for planning the production, purchase and distribution of items. The planner takes into account the inventory levels, availability of materials, and capacities of resources, and reacts on signals such as rescheduling messages that ERP LN generates.
Project | An endeavour with a special objective to be met within the prescribed time and money limitations and that has been assigned for definition or execution.
Project Status | The way to characterize a project. ERP LN distinguishes the following statuses: Free A project definition has been recorded, but the project has not yet been executed. Changes are still possible. Active During the execution of a project you can release, purchase, and register cost transactions. Finished The project is completed but it has not (yet) been financially closed. You can still register cost transactions. Actual purchase orders cannot be present for the project. Closed The project has been financially closed, the project definition can no longer be changed.
Simulation | If this check box is selected, ERP LN does not actually remove plan items. ERP LN only prints a report that shows which plan items would have been removed if you would have cleared this check box .

Remove | Starts removing the plan items.
