JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Requirements Planning Summary and Console Overview
The Requirements Planning Summary (P34X100) and Planning Console (P34X200) applications enhance the requirements planning (MRP/MPS/DRP) functionality with a real-time functionality to provide a comprehensive, graphical, and interactive view of the supply and demand data.
With the Planning Summary program, you can view requirements planning messages prioritized and summarized according to user preferences, with the system issuing alerts any time that action is required within the established lead time. For items selected from the message summary, planners can see, at a glance, their current inventory condition with graphical indicators for on-hand inventory, days until first receipt, and days until second receipt.
You can access the Planning Console program directly from the menu or by drilling in from the Planning Summary program. In the Planning Console program, the system presents action messages in the context of an interactive, real-time supply/demand detail table with supporting charts. You can modify recommended supply dates and quantities or create new planned supply orders within the Planning Console program. When you make such changes, the Planning Console displays real-time graphical views of the effects of those changes prior to saving and/or implementing them. Until the changes are saved, you can restore the plan to the original supply condition. For manufactured items, the system displays ending available and days of supply alerts for critical components in real time as changes are made to the parent item's production plan.
