Setting Up Distribution Resource Planning
If you use Distribution Resource Planning (DRP) and want to use NetSuite Supply Planning, you must set up transfer planning rules. Transfer rules are used in place of a distribution network to define how the system creates transfer orders.
To set up transfer rules:
-
Go to Lists > Supply Planning > Planning Rule Groups > New.
-
Enter a planning rules group Name.
-
Enter a planning rules group Description.
-
On the Planning Rule subtab, select an Item Type.
-
Select an Item/Category.
-
Select a Location.
-
Select a Source Location.
The location you are transferring items from.
-
Enter Lead Time in Days.
Lead time represents the in-transit lead time, or how long it takes to ship the item from its source location.
-
Click Save.
