Before the system can generate material and labor plans and create planning messages, you must define general planning information for each branch or plant in the organization. General planning information determines how the system commits inventory to the branch or plant, which work days to include when you generate a material or capacity plan, how the system processes changes to standard parts lists, and so on.

For example, you must set up information to determine how the system commits inventory to a branch and how the system calculates the availability of parts and labor resources.
