Organizations and Schedules Options for Replenishment Plans

Use the Organizations and Schedules subtab on the Supply tab on the Plan Options page to configure subinventory netting and demand schedules for your replenishment plan.

You also use the subtab to select replenishment plans for providing policy parameters.

The Supply tab is enabled only when you select the Calculate policy parameters or Calculate replenishments check box by itself or with other check boxes on the Plan Options page.

Organizations

Use the Organizations section on the subtab to specify the subinventory netting for organizations that are covered by the replenishment plan.

These organizations are the same as those that you selected in the Level Members dialog box on the Scope tab on the Plan Options page.

For each listed organization, in the Subinventory Netting dialog box, select or deselect the check boxes in the Enable Netting column to include or exclude subinventories from the supply-demand netting in the replenishment plan. During the collection process, data is collected from the subinventories on the basis of the organization configuration in the source system. If you enable subinventory netting for a new subinventory in the source system, the replenishment plan automatically includes the new subinventory after the next collection process.

Demand Schedules

Use the Demand Schedules section on the subtab to specify the replenishment plan for calculating policy parameters and the sources of the demand forecast.

If the Calculate policy parameters check box is selected on the Plan Options page, the replenishment plan is listed in the Demand Schedules section, and the check box in the Use for Policy Parameters column is automatically selected and can't be deselected.

You can select the following for the demand forecast:

Another replenishment plan that has the Generate forecast check box selected on the Plan Options page, and that has been run
A demand plan that has been run

You can also select a demand plan with a hybrid time hierarchy.
An external forecast schedule

If the replenishment plan is used for incremental planning (the Enable for incremental planning check box is selected along with the Calculate replenishments check box on the Plan Options page), you can't select another replenishment plan, a demand plan, or an external forecast schedule for the demand forecast. Only actual demands (sales orders, transfer orders, and inventory position) are considered during replenishment calculation.

If the Generate forecast check box is selected on the Plan Options page, the replenishment plan is listed in the Demand Schedules section, and the check box in the Use for Demand Schedule column is automatically selected and can't be deselected.

This table explains how you use the Demand Schedules section:

You can also use the same replenishment plan for generating the forecast and calculating policy parameters if it was run with the Generate forecast and Calculate policy parameters check boxes selected on the Plan Options page.
Calculate policy parameters	Select a source for the demand forecast. If you select more than one source, the forecasts from different sources are added up for the item-location combination. If you select a replenishment plan, you must select the check box under Use for Demand Schedule. If you select a demand plan or an external forecast schedule, the check box is automatically selected and grayed out.
