Setting Up Inventory Management for Requirements Planning

When you set up the item master and branch/plant information, you provide JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Requirements Planning with the information that it needs to create accurate master schedules, material requirements plans, and distribution requirements plans. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Requirements Planning uses the values in these fields:

  • Stocking Type

  • Planner Number

  • Buyer Number

  • Supplier

  • Lot Process Type

  • Master Planning Family

  • Category Code

  • Unit of Measure

  • Order Policy Code

  • Value Order Policy

  • Planning Code

  • Planning Fence Rule

  • Planning Fence

  • Freeze Fence

  • Message Display Fence

  • Time Basis

  • Shrink Factor

  • Leadtimes

  • Quantities
