Overview of Plan Generation in Supply Chain Planning

Multiorganization material requirements plans (MRP), master production schedules (MPS), and distribution requirements plans (DRP) explode through the bill of material to generate component requirements by evaluating:

It then calculates time-phased material requirements. Each item may have different attributes that affect the recommendations generated by the planning process.

Review Plan Generation for information on plan generation in Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP.

Specifying Items for the Supply Chain Planning Process

The items included the planning process depends on the planning method set for them (in their item attributes) and on whether you allow the planning process to include them. In Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP, you select the type of item subject to the planning process in the Planning Parameters window. In Oracle Supply Chain Planning, you make this selection in the Plan Options window.

You can include:

The planning process interprets these options differently, depending on the type of plan you choose to run. Table 1 - 48 compares the effect of the Planned Items option on an MPS, MRP, and a DRP:

Plan Option DRP includes... MPS includes... MRP includes...
