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 company’s 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 con gured 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 classi ed 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.

Hi Kumar, thanks for this document, I have a question for you and I hope you will reply.

Where do you take the values in the Sales? Do you insert them manually? Is it possible to automatically ll the rows with a SAP transaction?

Thank you, kind regards.

Mimma.
