Time Fences
Materials planners can use planning and demand time fences to protect a materials plan. By protecting existing orders from being changed, time fences can prevent disruptions and refine demand requirements in short range materials planning.
Did you know that the NetSuite Supply Planning (MRP) solution replaces Time-Phased Planning, with more features and better performance?
New customers should use the new Supply Planning (MRP) solution. Existing customers should develop a plan to move from Time-Phased Planning to the new solution.
If you use the Demand Planning feature, you can set up Demand Time Fences and Planning Time Fences.
