Supply Plan Definition Import
Supply Plan Definition enables planners to establish the criteria to be used for supply planning. The plan definition provides the information that drives the supply planning process, such as planning horizon and planning scope. For example: you can run supply planning at multiple facilities at one time. A supply plan definition provides a permanent holding place for your planning criteria and planning results.
