Question { Cognizant, 3721 }

Tell some sop

Answer

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. Rough-cut planning can also be carried out to determine the amounts of the capacities and other resources required to meet these targets.

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 application components:

Standard SOP (PP-SOP)

Flexible Planning (LO-LIS-PLN)//SOP is suitable for the planning of finished materials, but not for the planning of the materials’ component parts. The one exception is Characteristics Planning.
