SNP Horizon & PPDS Horizon

[former_member1346373]

Hi,

In RRP3 I can see  03/01/2013   as SNP Horizon  and   12/01/2013  as PPDS Horizon.

Does this means that From Today's date till 03/01/2013  it is SNP Horizon  and

from Today's date till 12/01/2013 it is PPDS Horizon?

What about after 12/01/2013  ?

Dear Kumar

Your question in 'quotes' and respective answers:

"If you see in In RRP3 ,03/01/2013   as SNP Horizon" :

=>SNP Plan 'after this date'

" and you see  12/01/2013  as PPDS Horizon.":

=> PPDS plans 'within this date'

"Does this means that From Today's date till 03/01/2013  it is SNP Horizon "

No,SNP horizon starts after this=>....SNP plans after this date

and

"from Today's date till 12/01/2013 it is PPDS Horizon?"

Yes..PPDS Plans within this

"What about after 12/01/2013  ?"

SNP plans this time anyway!

Hope this answers your questions

Hi U Kumar,

The SNP horizon is the time period within which SNP will NOT plan.  SNP planning will take place outside of that into the future.

The PP/DS horizon is the time period within which PP/DS can plan and schedule.  This is basic information. There are variations such as when PP/DS is planning MTO.  The horizon is then ignored.

You have overlapping horizons. Some overlap is useful.  For example, when converting SNP orders to PP/DS orders.

After 12/01/2013 you are still working with SNP planning depending upon the time bucket profile in the planning book.

Hi Mike,

As per my understanding both this horizon will always overlap.

If I maintan SNP horizon in Product Master as 60 day and PP/DS horizon as 10 days then

SNP horizon will be from todays date till 01st March 2013 and PP/DS horizon will be from today's

date till 12 Jan 2013.

Am I correct?

So always there will be overlap.

If I need first 4 weeks as PP/DS horizon and after 4weeks to 3 years  as SNP horizon then how to

maintain it.

Hello UKumar,

Then you'll need to maintain 4 weeks (28 days) for both SNP and PPDS horizon.

If you maintain like this, PPDS will plan the first 4 weeks (28 days), and SNP will plan from 4 weeks (the 29th day).

You cannot set the end of SNP horizon in master data. You just use SNP planning book to control it.

In your case, you can set your SNP planning book's future horizon as 3 years.

I suppose that maybe you have a misunderstanding by saying:

"

If I maintan SNP horizon in Product Master as 60 day .. then SNP horizon will be from todays date till 01st March 2013 ...

"

Please notice that SNP horizon defines the horizon that SNP does NOT plan. So if you set SNP horizon as 60 days, SNP will plan from the 61th day.

Hope this answers your question.

I think you have got enough info, but just in case... i will give mine too

though we call it SNP horizon, we are actually referring SNP Production Horizon, the period in which SNP does not plan. (SNP usually works in midterm plans, ppds in short terms)

the overlap Maclean is referring to is not the overlap of days, it is the overlap of control(planning) by SNP and PP/DS over a period.

As per my understanding both this horizon will always overlap.
If I maintan SNP horizon in Product Master as 60 day and PP/DS horizon as 10 days 

There is no overlap of control in this case.

Here ppds will plan for the next 10 days, but SNP production horizon of 60 days means SNP will not plan for next 60 days, which means in 50 days from the 10th day to 60th, neither ppds nor SNP is planning. ie no overlap at all.

Hi,

A little extra clarification.  For some business scenarios, it may be desireable to completely separate the time periods in which SNP and PP/DS plan. 

You can do this by either:

1) setting the SNP production horizon to something and setting the PP/DS production horizon to the same number of days if the SNP horizon is in days.

2) if the SNP production horizon is in weeks or months and the PP/DS horizon is in days, there will be a variation in overlap depending upon what day of the week it is. The SNP horizon gets shorter as time passes.  If you don't want any overlap, set the PP/DS production horizon to blank or zero.

Thnaks to everybody.

Now I got it.
