Understanding Supplier Release Scheduling for Production Controlled Items
Supplier release scheduling provides suppliers with consistent shipping information and advanced demand profiles to support the goal of just-in-time production and delivery.
The system supports production controlled items in the following programs:
Supplier Schedule Generation (R34400)
Supplier Schedule Revisions (P34301)
Ad Hoc Schedule Revisions (P34302)
Supplier Schedule Release Generation (R34410)
Supplier Schedule Print (R34450)
You can generate a supplier release schedule from existing blanket orders for production controlled items. You run the Supplier Schedule Generation program to generate a supplier release schedule based on item number, blanket order number, and production number. Blanket orders can have multiple production numbers in a detail line.
The Production Number field and QBE line appear in the detail grid of the Release Schedule form (W34301I).
The system supports ad hoc schedules for production controlled items when blanket orders do not exist for the items.
Forecasts generate demand by item number and production number.
You can also use production controlled items in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Supplier Relationship Management product from Oracle.
