Standard SOP Process flow...
Sales & Operations Planning (SOP) is a flexible forecasting and planning tool with which sales, production, and
other supply chain targets can be set on the basis of historical, existing, and estimated future data.
Use SOP to streamline and consolidate your companys sales and production operations.
SOP is particularly suitable for long- and medium-term planning.
SOP is made up of two components.
1. Standard SOP
2. Flexible planning..
Standard SOP
Standard SOP comes largely pre configured with the system. Standard SOP uses info structure S076.The
planning method for the Standard SOP information structure (S076) is level-by-level planning. Standard SOP
works on Product Groups.
Product group: A product group combines other product groups and materials. This combination depends
on whatever criteria best meet the needs of your company. Examples include the production cycle, product
design, or market niche.
Product groups are classified according to whether they are multi-level or single-level.
A product group is multi-level if it contains other product groups. However, the lowest level in a product group
hierarchy always consists of materials.
A product group is single-level if its members are materials only. A material or product group can be a member
of more than one owner product group.
