Minimum and Maximum Inventory Thresholds

The minimum and maximum inventory thresholds are required to determine the replenishment status. The min-max quantity source defined on the vendor-managed inventory (VMI) relationship determines whether the enterprise or supplier manages these thresholds.

As an enterprise user, you can't set the minimum and maximum quantities for an item in the Oracle Supply Chain Collaboration work area. For items whose min-max quantity source is enterprise, you set the minimum and maximum quantities on the item or item subinventory records. If VMI relationship scope is organization, you set the min-max quantities on the item record in Oracle Product Information Management. If VMI relationship scope is subinventory, you set the min-max quantities on the item subinventory record in Oracle Fusion Cloud Inventory Management. The min-max quantities can be manually updated or calculated using the Calculate Min-Max Planning Policy Parameters scheduled process.

To learn more about calculating min-max quantities, see the Using Inventory Management guide.

For items whose min-max quantity source is supplier, the supplier manages the minimum and maximum quantities in Oracle Supplier Portal.

Note: You can quickly find items that are missing min-max quantities using the Requiring Replenishment search criteria.
