IBP planning cycle checklist

• Key figure catalog signed: stored or calculated, planning level, disaggregation mode, source.
• Reactivate the planning area after every model change and rerun the model regression views.
• History: agree source documents (billing, delivery or order); reconcile monthly totals per plant.
• Forecast: controlled data set reproduces forecast, MAPE, weighted MAPE and bias in a spreadsheet.
• Supply: capacity load for critical work centers (ASSY-10) matches a hand calculation.
• S&OP: every executive decision is logged and its scenario promoted to the baseline before release.
• Excel add-in: fixed version for testing; name the version or scenario in every script.
• Release: CI-DS record counts, totals per material and plant, and sampled PIR dates and versions.
• End of chain: MRP plans components from the released PIRs (MD63, MD04).
