Requires module: Production

Planning

Planning answers the question of what to start and when. In the basic form it is safety stock and a reorder point, in the full form it is an MRP run with BOM explosion and a check of work center load.

What is included?

  • Production plan with statuses and requirement lines
  • Safety stock and reorder point per item
  • Requirements with a source and a coverage status
  • Background calculation with real-time progress and the option to cancel
  • Comparison with the previous run: what appeared, what disappeared, what changed
  • Reports: shortages, capacity load, customer order coverage, plan fulfillment

Frequently asked questions

What is needed for planning?

The production module: the plan relies on bills of materials and production orders. The warehouse is connected together with production as its required module.

Does a run create documents on its own?

A run produces recommendations. A production order or a purchase order is created on confirmation, one recommendation at a time or in a batch.
