Supply Chain Planning Methods
You can define an MRP planning method for an item when you define an item in Oracle Inventory. Items that are considered by the planning process must have one of the following MRP planning methods:
Oracle Supply Chain Planning users can define three additional attributes:
Select DRP planning for items that appear in a distribution requirements plan.
Select MPS and DRP planning for items that appear in DRP and MPS plans that are primarily planned in MPS plans.
Select MRP and DRP planning for items that appear in MRP and DRP plans, but are planned in MRP plans.
Suggestion: You can set the MRP Planning method item attribute to MPS and DRP planning so that the long-term material requirements for an item are generated.
