Overview of Planner Workbench
You can review and implement recommendations suggested by the planning process with the Planner Workbench. You can selectively implement these recommendations as new and rescheduled orders, and release all or some of them.
You can use custom library calls for the release procedure. See: Customizing Oracle Applications with the CUSTOM Library.
You can:
- review of supply/demand details
- review components, using assemblies, and end assemblies
- review the horizontal, material, and capacity plan
- display a summary supply and demand
- implement and maintain planned orders
- create planned orders manually
- implement repetitive schedules
- release implemented orders
- create firm planned orders and firm implemented orders
- review material and capacity exceptions
- display a summary of resource requirements
You can select a predefined set of criteria or any combination of criteria when querying on the recommendations generated by the DRP, MRP or MPS planning process. The planner can then:
- change parts of the plan, then replan changes and all items affected by them using either a batch or an online process
- load any combination of the selected recommendations into work in process or purchasing, or firm an implemented order, prior to loading, to create a firm scheduled receipt
- firm a planned order or change its quantity and date to stabilize portions of the plan
- assign a vendor or transfer source to firm planned order
- change the alternate BOM designator or alternate routing designator on planned orders or discrete jobs, and import into WIP
- reschedule current scheduled receipts from work in process or purchasing
- change repetitive schedule lines, status, dates, and quantities
- view graphical horizontal plan
- generate a graphical view of the relationship between item supply and end demand
Supply Chain Planning users can also review and implement recommendations across multiple, interdependent organizations, and generate graphical displays of planning data. See: Overview of the Supply Chain Planner Workbench.
Quick Access to Particular Documents
You can place documents that you reference frequently in the Oracle Applications Navigator. Placing documents in the Navigator is especially useful when you need to query large documents. When the document is open, choose Place on Navigator from the Action menu. When you choose the Documents alternative region in the Navigator, you can then access that document directly from within the Navigator. See: Using the Navigator's Documents Region.
