| Generate Planned Supply based on Forecast (cpvmi1211m000) |  |
| Use this session to carry out an order-planning based on the forecast received from your customer. This session functions almost exactly like the Generate Order Planning session. Instead of regular demand data, this session uses the forecast you received from your customer. The session plans only the plan items for which the VMI Role field in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session is Supplier. To base the planned supply only on the confirmed part of the forecast, set the Confirmed Supply Based On field in the Planning Terms and Conditions (tctrm1135m000) session to Confirmed Forecast.

Fields | Description
Scenario | The scenario for which you want to generate planned orders.
Plan Level | The level within a hierarchical planning structure. When you plan on a higher plan level, plans are general and less detailed. Example Plan level 1 is the highest plan level; the higher the number, the lower the plan level.
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 the following: Master-based planning, which is similar to master production scheduling techniques. Order-based planning, which is 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.
