Oracle Inventory lets you manage your inventory levels using any combination of the system's planning and replenishment features, including min-max planning, reorder point planning, kanban replenishment, and a replenishment system for generating orders.
Inventory planning involves answering two questions:
When should you place a new order?
How much should you order?
Plan any item by establishing minimum and maximum on-hand plus on-order quantity targets. See: Defining Items, Inventory Attribute Group, and Requesting the Min-Max Planning Report.
Plan any item using reorder points and safety stock levels. See: Requesting the Reorder Point Planning Report.
Calculate safety stock levels for reorder point planning. See: Entering and Reloading Item Safety Stocks.
Define non-tracked inventory locations and periodically enter replenishment counts. See: Entering and Processing Replenishment Counts.
Generate requisitions for any item requiring replenishment. See: Entering and Processing Replenishment Counts, Requesting the Min-Max Planning Report, Requesting the Reorder Point Planning Report, Overview of Kanban Replenishment.
Generate move orders for any item requiring replenishment. See: Overview of Move Orders.
Generate a job/schedule for any item requiring replenishment. See: Overview of Kanban Replenishment
Define kanban cards and pull sequences. See: Defining Kanban Cards and Defining Kanban Pull Sequences.
Summarize demand history for a specific inventory item. See: Summarizing Demand History and Requesting the Summarize Demand Histories Report.
