| The planning method can apply to either projects or production orders. Forward For a production order, the planning of the production order is based on a fixed start date. A delivery date is calculated from the order run time. For a project, the network planning for the project is carried out on the basis of a fixed start date. When you start this planning in the Generate Network Planning (tipcs4210m000) session, ERP LN determines the project's delivery date with a Forward planning method. Backward For a production order, the planning of the production order is based on a fixed delivery date. A start date is calculated from the order run time. For a project, the network planning for the project is carried out on the basis of a fixed delivery date. When you start this planning in the Generate Network Planning (tipcs4210m000), ERP LN determines the project's start date with a Backward planning method. |
