Hi Sanjeev,

Planning Operators allow you to define, run and schedule Planning operations like Statistical Forecasting , Supply Planning Functions, Snapshots ,etc.
SAP Pre-delivers Planning Operator Types like FORECAST, SCM and Snapshots along with Planning Operators like
FORECAST->Optimized for all methods, SCM -> Constrained Demand and Supply , Snapshots and Snapshots Redo.

User can further add Planning Operators within these operator Types. example Triple Exponential smoothing

When you define Planning Operators within a Planning Operator Type and assign to you planning area, these will become available in S&OP Excel Add-In to run or schedule and view status. You can further define filters for the data processed by these Planning Operators.

See sample configuration in Model Configuration section : 9.0, 9.1,9.2,9.3 to see how Planning Operators are configured.

Also you can refer to the help in model configuration guide https://websmp110.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000479482013E

Thanks,

Raghav

Hi Sanjeev,

In addition to Pre-delivered Planning Operator Types listed in previous post, the Planning Operator Framework in S&OP allows to create user defined Planning Operator Types.
