Requesting the Reorder Point Planning Report
To request a reorder point planning report you define selection parameters for the items to include on the report. Reorder point planning triggers a new order when the available quantity drops below the item's safety stock level plus forecast demand during lead time. When you run the reorder point planning report you can have Oracle Inventory create either internal or purchase requisitions for these orders, depending on the sourcing options.
To request the reorder point planning report:
1. Navigate to the Reorder Point Planning window.
2. Enter Reorder point planning report in the Name field.
3. Navigate to the Parameters field. The Parameters window appears.
4. Indicate whether to report all items that are identified as reorder point planned or only items with on-hand balances and on-order balances that fall below their reorder point. Displaying all reorder point planned items (regardless of their balances) allows you to see where item balances stand in relation to the specified order point.
5. Enter the sorting criterion for the report. You can choose to sort by inventory item, category, planner, or buyer. If you choose Category, enter the category set from which Oracle Inventory chooses items for the report.
6. Enter the demand cutoff date. The report includes demand on or before this date.
7. Enter the replenishment cutoff date. The calculation includes open supply orders with expected receipt dates on or before this date.
9. Enter the forecast designator. Oracle Inventory uses this forecast to determine the demand to be used in the reorder point calculation.
10. Indicate whether to prepare a full or partial report. If you choose Partial, specify the range of items, categories, planners, or buyers you want to include.
11. Choose the Submit button to launch the report.
