Hi,

There are three different planning process types:

• Regenerative planning: processing key NEUPL

• Net change planning in the total horizon: processing key NETCH

• Net change planning in the planning horizon: processing key NETPL.

In order to speed up requirements planning, it can be limited to a certain

planning horizon with the processing key NETPL. Only those requirements

that are within the planning horizon are then covered by receipts.

As time passes, requirements can fall in the planning horizon even thought

they have not yet been covered by receipts. If no other changes relevant to

planning occur, these requirements will only be covered during the next

planning run over the entire time frame (with processing key NETCH or

NEUPL). So that these requirements are also taken into consideration,

execute a net change planning according to the net change procedure

every so often, using processing key NETCH.

Planning with the processing key NEUPL concerns regenerative

planning. The system plans all materials that are included in the planning

file, irrespective of the indicators.

If you change settings in Customizing for requirements planning, such

as settings for a MRP type, a lot-sizing procedure or the purchasing

processing time, the materials affected by these changes do not have a

change indicator in the planning file. A planning run with processing key

NETCH or NETPL does not consider these materials, if planning file entry

NETCH or NETPL is set for a material. After these changes, it is therefore a

good idea to start a planning run with the processing key NEUPL, so that

the Customizing changes become effective. All materials in the planning

file are therefore considered in the planning run.

Hope it helps.
