Introduction to Product Line Plan
Product line plans are created annually for each product line or family at a site, and are stated in thousands of currency units per calendar month.
A product line is a group of similar items or products classified together for accounting and planning purposes. You define product lines and link them to appropriate GL accounts in Product Line Maintenance (1.2.1), then assign individual items to product lines in Item Master Maintenance (1.4.1).
The product line plans usually form the basis for the master production schedule.
