Idea Summary

Current documentation references a future capability where master plans are linked within Planning Optimization, allowing the system to automatically manage the planning sequence across legal entities (Intercompany Planning Groups). This would remove the need for manually orchestrating planning runs per legal entity.

Business Pain Point

In intercompany environments, planning currently requires:

• Running separate batch planning jobs per legal entity
• Manually controlling the execution sequence to respect intercompany dependencies
• Additional operational overhead, monitoring, and risk of sequencing errors

This approach becomes increasingly complex and difficult to maintain as the number of legal entities grows.

Proposed Enhancement

Enable native intercompany planning orchestration in Planning Optimization, where:

• Master plans across legal entities are logically linked
• The system automatically determines and executes the correct planning sequence
• A single automated planning run can be triggered for an intercompany network instead of individual runs per legal entity
• 
  

Expected Benefits

• Reduced operational effort and manual intervention
• Improved planning reliability in intercompany scenarios
• Simplified batch framework and monitoring
• Better scalability for customers operating across multiple legal entities

Goal

Avoid executing individual planning runs per legal entity and instead rely on a single automated intercompany planning process managed by Planning Optimization.
