Plan Components and Resources for Nonnettable Work Orders in Constrained Supply Planning

You may have various types of work orders on your shop floor that consume capacity and material required for your forward supply chain, but the output of these work orders isn’t to be used for satisfying demand. For example, you may be creating a nonnettable work order to have supply to honor requests for sample products.

With this update, Oracle Supply Planning in the constrained mode will plan for the material and resource requirements of these work orders.

For example, you can now use the Subinventory Netting option in the Organizations and Schedules tab of the Edit Plan Options page to control the nettable status of the work order supplies.

For such nonnettable work orders, the work order supply won't be considered as a valid supply, but the components and resources of that work order will be planned based on the technical parameter, such as SubinvOnWODemResReq.
