Planning
The sales plan derives the production plan, and the production plan derives the purchase plan - the three are linked.
A target figure is not a plan
"400 thousand manats of sales this month" is a useful target, but not a plan. It does not say what we will produce or what we will buy.
So sales works on one figure, production on another and purchasing on stock levels. At month end all three report "plan met" while the warehouse is either empty or overflowing.
Three plans, one chain
The sales plan gives quantities per product. The production plan is derived from it, with stock on hand taken into account. From the production plan come the material requirement and the purchase plan.
Change one line and the chain is recalculated, and the gap becomes visible: which material is short, which stage is the bottleneck.

Most often asked
Is the plan compared with the actual?
Yes - every plan has an actual column beside it, and the variance reaches the report when the period is closed.
