Inventory Planning Owner

The inventory planning owner is the user who owns inventory planning and replenishment creation activities. The inventory planning owner can be Enterprise or Supplier.

The inventory planning owner is derived using the inventory planning method defined on the item or the item subinventory record. If the inventory planning method is min-max planning, the inventory planning owner is Enterprise. If the inventory planning method is Supplier managed, the inventory planning owner is Supplier.

The scope of the vendor-managed inventory (VMI) relationship determines if the inventory planning owner is derived from the item or item subinventory record. If scope is Organization, the inventory planning method on the item is used. If scope is subinventory, the inventory planning method on the item subinventory record is used.

Note: If the inventory planning method is not planned or reorder point planning, the inventory planning owner is unresolved and not a valid candidate for VMI. Any changes to the inventory planning method on the item or item subinventory record will be automatically reflected on the VMI relationship. For example, if the inventory planning method changes from Supplier managed to Not Planned, the inventory planning owner will be Unresolved.
