Viewing, Editing, and Deleting a Supply Plan

After you generate supply plans for an item, review them to verify the suggested replenishment quantities. If you need to order more or less than NetSuite suggested, you can change the quantities on the supply plan, and your orders will use these updated amounts.

Important:

The NetSuite Supply Planning (MRP) solution replaces Time-Phased Planning and offers more features and better performance.

New customers should use the Supply Planning (MRP) solution. Existing customers should plan to move from Time-Phased Planning to MRP.

For example, on June 1, you used a demand plan for Deluxe Widgets to generate a supply plan. NetSuite suggests ordering 100 more units on July 1 to replenish stock. Today, June 30, if you think you'll need more widgets for a last-minute order, you can edit the supply plan to 150 units. The updated amount will appear on the Order Items page when you're ready to place the order.

To view or edit a supply plan:

1. Go to Transactions > Demand Planning > Item Supply Plan > List.

2. Next to a supply plan, do one of the following:

   • Click View to open the plan.

   • Click Edit to make changes to the plan.

3. The item, location, and unit of measure appear for reference and can't be changed.

4. You can edit the Memo field, if needed. You can later search for the text you entered.

5. Enter an Order Date. This is the transaction date used for purchase orders or work orders.

6. Enter a Receipt Date. This is the date you expect to receive the goods in the warehouse.

7. In the Order Type field, choose whether to create stock with a purchase order or work order.

8. The Quantity field shows the suggested replenishment amount. You can enter a different number to buy or create another amount of the item.

9. The Order Created field shows if the order has been created.

10. Click Save.

To delete a plan:

1. In the Supply Plan list, click Edit next to the plan you want to delete.

2. On the Supply Plan page, under More Actions, click Delete.
