Dear Rupesh,
Plz Refer to Mr. Mangalraj inputs on LTP
1.A plannig scenario has to be created for a plant in T code MS31 & for the same Planning scenario
configuration settings has to be made in OPU5 for the planned orders for LTP.
2.Requirements has to be given in MD61 in an inactive version and also after giving the requirements
kindly remove the tick mark against version- active check box.
3.Assign this plan to the planning scenario in MS32,release it and ensure the planning file entries are
entered or created,the same can be checked using MS21.
4.After taking LTP simulation run in MS02(individual material) or MS01 you can see the simulated
planned orders obtained in MS04 T code.
5.These Simulated planned orders can't be converted into production orders or it cant be used for any
business confirmation purpose.
6. For capacity planning analysis,use T Code CM38,
Before that Ensure for all the work centers in CR03 which are used for operation under capacity header
you have included the check box for Long term planning,otherwise in CM38 you can't see any capacity
requirements data.
7.Before executing CM38,ensure under settings---> general you are giving the period settings properly.
Revert back incase of any more clarifications required.
