PeopleSoft Supply Planning Considerations

If you are using PeopleSoft Supply Planning, the system uses production area information to determine whether the item should be manufactured using production IDs or production schedules. When determining where the order should be produced, the system looks first for a production area that manufactures the item using the selected BOM and routing combination.

If there are multiple production areas defined for the BOM, routing, and item combinations, the system assigns the planned order based on the item's primary production area. Set the primary production area on the Primary Production Area page.

If no production areas have been defined for the BOM, routing, and item combination, the default is the production area, as defined on the Define Business Unit Item - Manufacturing page.
