Long-term planning is used to check the future demands of materials based on the bill of material (BOM). Long-term planning can be carried out in simulation mode. It will check the capacity availabilities, material forecast, and delivery timelines, and if the requirements can be fulfilled, simulation can be transferred into an operational mode.
Long-term planning can be executed based on an existing production BOM. It is also possible to define BOM and routing specifically for long-term planning.
