Reporting on Demand Planning
After you create item demand plans and supply plans, you can use NetSuite demand planning reports to monitor and assess your demand planning activities.
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.
