Aggregate Production Planning with Segment Groups

To create aggregate production plans, you must define segments to group the assembly items for finished goods that share critical components and resources.

You must add the segment group containing these segments to the dimension catalog used by the supply plans connected to your aggregate production plans.

On the Production Plans page, you can view only the segment groups that are members of the supply plan’s dimension catalog in the Finished Goods Segment Group drop-down list. Only groups with Product and Organization dimensions as Segment Granularity are supported for the production plans.

Note: You need to run a supply plan fully after adding a segment group to the dimension catalog before you can connect the supply plan to an aggregate production plan.

For additional information on segment groups, refer to the Segmentation chapter in this guide.
