Hi Wadjakar

1. Standard SOP has limited features, it has fixed characteristics, Key figures

2. In Standard SOP one can plan only at single organization level

3. In Standard SOP only Level-by-Level Planning method is used

1. In flexible planning one can create characteristics and Key figures according to their own requirement

2. In flexible planning one can plan for Multi organization level

3. In flexible planning any Planning method can be used

3. Not much of changes can be done.

4. You will not be able to change the characteristics, Keyfigures etc.
