Scenario Overview – 1
Purpose
This scenario begins with the required planning steps. The forecasting processes and different
consumption-based MRP procedures. The supply source determination schema in SAP R/3 is
then outlined in brief and the various options explained. The Purchase Order process shows
you how to work with the Planning Workbench. Order optimizing comprises quantity
optimizing, investment buying, load building and goods receipt capacity check. The last
section shows you how vendor evaluations can be used to optimize goods procurement.
Benefits Alongside article-specific inventory management, the SAP R/3 System provides an accurate
data basis for using the comprehensive range of requirements planning methods. The main
task in requirements planning is to monitor stocks and, in particular, generate automatic order
proposals for purchasing.
With the planning workbench, extensive functionalities for order optimization and vendor
evaluation you can handle the whole process for demand-driven procurement.

Goods receipt capacity check
Up to now, there was no check for sufficient capacity for the delivery date of a
planned delivery in the goods receipt area of a warehouse. If the goods are deliveredto a warehouse door that does not have any free capacity, there can be a bottleneck
in the goods receipt area of a warehouse. At the same time, another warehouse door
might have enough capacity.
Advantages for the retailer and vendor:
Taking the goods receipt capacity into account prevents potential bottlenecks.
The vendor's delivery date planning utilizes the capacity of the retailer's goods
receipt areas.
The vendor can schedule the deliveries better since the planned time window for
inbound deliveries is binding.
