Default planning horizon
This parameter defines the default planning horizon for the planning workbenches: Enterprise planning (FUNGBENCH / FUNGBENCHA), Grouping (FUNMPICK / FUNMPICKA), and the product Planning workbench (FUNDBENCH / FUNDBENCHA).
The planning workbenches display demand and supply for 1 or a selection of products over a specified time span. These are the orders that are causing the demand and those that are providing the supply. The default planning end date is determined by the value of this parameter but can be amended when the planning functions are run. For example, if GPLNHOR is set to 8 and the current date is June 8, the default End date will be August 3, that is current system date + 8 weeks.
