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.
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.
