To enter plan options:You can enter plan options for any plan. If you are launching the planning process for this plan name for the first time, the plan options you defined in the setup parameters are displayed. Otherwise, the plan options you chose, for the last launch of the planning process, are displayed.
Supply Chain Planning users can also launch a DRP and supply chain MRP and master production schedule (MPS) plan (See also: Reviewing or Adding Plan Options, Oracle Master Demand Scheduling/MRP and Oracle Supply Chain Planning User's Guide).
To enter plan options:Navigate to the Plan Options window.
Select a material requirements Plan.
Select a master demand Schedule.
Select MRP from the Type list of values.
Select an Overwrite option:
All: For a master production schedule (MPS) plan, overwrite all entries and regenerate new MPS entries based on the source master demand schedule.
For an MRP, overwrite all MRP firm planned orders for MRP items. This option is displayed when you generate a plan for the first time.
Outside planning time fence: For a master production schedule (MPS) plan, overwrite all MPS entries outside the planning time fence. For an MRP, overwrite all planned orders and firm planned orders outside the planning time fence.
None: Do not overwrite any firm planned order for MPS or MRP plans.
Select the Append Planned Orders check box to append new planned orders.
For information regarding situations that cause new planned orders to append, see: Reviewing or Adding Plan Options, Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Oracle Supply Chain Planning User's Guide.
Select the Net WIP check box to indicate that the planning process considers standard discrete jobs, nonstandard discrete jobs, or repetitive schedules when planning items during the last plan execution.
Select Net Reservations to indicate that the planning process considers stock designated for a specific work order when planning the items during the last execution of the plan.
Select Net Purchases to indicate that the planning process considers approved purchase requisitions when planning the items during the last execution of the plan.
Select Plan Capacity to indicate whether the planning process calculates safety stock for each item during the last plan execution.
Specify the Bill of Resource (for MPS plans) and optionally a Simulation Set.
See: Capacity Modifications and Simulation, Oracle Capacity User's Guide and Overview of Bills of Resources, Oracle Capacity User's Guide.
Select Pegging to calculate graphical pegging information.
The planning process then traces supply information for an item to its corresponding end demand details, which you then can view in a graphical display. See: Overview of Graphical Pegging, Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Oracle Supply Chain Planning User's Guide.
If you are working in a project environment, set a Reservation Level and, Optionally a Hard Pegging Level. See: Reviewing or Adding Project MRP Plan Options, Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Oracle Supply Chain Planning User's Guide.
Select a Material Scheduling Method:
Operation Start Date: Schedule material to arrive in Inventory for availability on the start date of a specific operation.
Order Start Date: Schedule material to arrive in Inventory for availability on maintenance Work Order start date.
Specify which Planned Items you want included.
All planned items: Include all planned items in the planning process.
You would choose this option to be certain that all items are planned, including those you add to a Work Order or schedule, that are not components on any bill of material. Use this option to avoid missing items you want to plan. For items you do not want to plan, define them with an MRP planning method of Not Planned when defining an item in Inventory.
Demand schedule items only
