Item MRP and MPS Planning Specifications
The following are the item MRP and MPS Planning specification attributes and their possible values. You set these attributes when you define or update items.
Item MRP and MPS Planning Specification Attributes
| Attribute Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Acceptable Early Days | Enter the number of days before which the planning process won’t
reschedule orders. The planning process only suggests rescheduling out if:
For example, if the original order due date is 10-JUN, and Acceptable Early Days is 3, the planning process not suggest rescheduling if the new due date is less than or equal to 13-JUN. When rescheduling doesn’t occur (because of Acceptable Early Days), a second order, due before the first, won’t be rescheduled past the first order This lets you reduce plan nervousness and eliminate minor reschedule recommendations, especially when it’s cheaper to build and carry excess inventory for a short time than it’s to reschedule an order. This applies to discrete items only. |
| Calculate ATP | Indicate whether to calculate and print available to promise (ATP) on
the Planning Detail Report, using the following formula: ATP = planned production - committed demand Where:
Note: You can use this attribute only when you integrate Product Hub
with Oracle E-Business Suite. This attribute is invalid in an Oracle
Fusion Cloud Applications only scenario, where Product Hub interacts with
the Fusion Applications source system. |
| Create Supply | Indicates if the application can suggest supply for this item. If you use an item as a substitute to meet demand for another item, then this attribute indicates whether you can create new supply for the item as part of meeting the demand for the original item. |
| Create Supply After | Indicates the date after which you can use the item to create supply for Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Planning. You can't set a past date for this attribute. You can specify this date only if Create Supply is set to Yes. |
| Critical Component | If selected, marks the item as a critical component for MPS and DRP planning. This lets you plan master scheduled items with respect to only critical component and their material resource constraints. Hidden by default. |
| Demand Time Days | Calculates the demand time fence as the plan date (or the next workday if the plan is generated on a day that’s not a workday) plus the value you enter here. |
| Demand Time Fence | Select an option to determine a point in time inside which the planning
process ignores the forecast demand and considers only the sales order
demand when calculating gross requirements. This reduces the risk of
carrying excess inventory. Calculate the demand time fence as the plan date (or the next workday if the plan is generated on a day that’s not a workday) plus the value you select here. The demand time fence
values are:
|
| Distribution Planned | Indicate the kind of planning to be used for the item. It’s the application of replenishment inventory calculations to assist in planning of key resources contained in a distribution system, such as sourcing and transport. Hidden by default. |
| Exclude from Budget | Indicate whether the item is to be excluded from the budget. Hidden by default. |
| Forecast Control | Select an option to determine the types of demand you place for the
item. This guides the key processes of two-level master scheduling: forecast
explosion, forecast consumption, planning, production relief, and shipment
relief. This is appropriate only for items that are models, option classes,
options, or mandatory components of models and option classes.
|
| Maximum Inventory Days of Supply | Enter the maximum amount necessary of any materials and supplies in the application that are needed to achieve the desired business metric like throughput rate, cost, due date performance, inventory, days of supply, and so on. Hidden by default. |
| Maximum Inventory Window | Enter the maximum amount necessary (in terms of quantity) of any materials and supplies in the application that are needed to achieve the desired business metric like throughput rate, cost, due date performance, inventory, days of supply, and so on. Hidden by default. |
| Pegging | Indicate the planning process uses to decide when to calculate and print
end assemblies for the item. Hidden by default.
|
| Planned Inventory Point | Indicate if the item is an Inventory Point item. This means that material can be stored at the item level without losing materials or quality characteristics. Inventory Points generally point to major stocking phases in the manufacturing cycle. Hidden by default. |
| Planning Method | Select the option that decides when to plan the item:
|
| Planning Time Days | Calculates the planning time fence as the plan date (or the next workday if the plan is generated on a day that’s not a workday) plus the value you enter here. |
| Planning Time Fence | Choose one of the following options to determine a point in time inside
which certain restrictions on planning recommendations apply. For discrete
items, the planning process can’t suggest new planned orders or rescheduling
existing orders to an earlier date. For repetitive items, the planning
process can only suggest new daily rates that fall inside the acceptable
rate increase and decrease boundaries. A time fence increases manual control of the plan, minimizing short term disruption to shop floor and purchasing schedules. Calculate the planning time fence as the plan date (or the next workday if the plan is generated on a day that’s not a workday) plus the value you select here. The planning time fence
values are:
|
| Preposition Point | The preposition point represents the push type relationship with a
trading partner. When planning arrives at a preposition point for an item,
it pushes all the existing supply downstream until this point. In the case of multi-souring repair, you should not set the preposition point for the item-repair supplier. If you set select this check box for a multi-sourced item, then the application pushes the entire inventory to the first trading partner it encounters in the planning process. Hidden by default. |
| Release Time Days | Calculate the demand time fence as the plan date (or the next workday if the plan is generated on a day that’s not a workday) plus the value you enter here. |
| Release Time Fence | Choose an option to determine a point in time inside which planned
orders for discretely planned items are automatically released as WIP jobs
or purchase requisitions. The planned orders must meet the following
auto-release criteria:
Auto-release of repetitive schedules isn’t applicable for repetitively planned items. No material availability check is performed before WIP jobs are released. Calculate the release time fence as
the plan date (or the next workday if the plan is generated on a day
that’s not a workday) plus the value you select here.
|
| Repair Lead Time | Time, in days, to repair the part at the supplier site. The definition is in context with the final usable part of product and not based on the defective part. For example, if you can repair an item A from a defective item B, planning assumes the repair lead-time from item A when it calculates the repair of defective item B. A repair organization requires the time equal to the repair lead-time to convert a defective part to a usable part. You define the repair lead time in the repair organization. Valid values are decimal numbers greater than or equal to 1. |
| Repair Program | Indicates the relationship with the supplier for the repair of an item.
Hidden by default. The available choices are:
|
| Repair Yield | Indicates the yield percentage when you upgrade or repair a defective part. For example, a repair yield of 23% is entered as 0.23. The repair yield is always in context with the final usable part or product and not based on the defective part. The repair yield represents the yield of the repair process. You define the repair yield in the repair organization. Valid values are decimal numbers greater than zero and less than 1. |
| Round Order Quantities | Indicate whether the planning process uses decimal or whole number values when calculating planned order quantities or repetitive rates. When this option is turned on, decimal values round up (never down) to the next whole number. The planning process carries any excess quantities and rates forward into subsequent periods as additional supply. |
| Shrinkage Rate | Enter a factor that represents the average amount of material you expect to lose during manufacturing or in storage. The planning process inflates demand to compensate for this expected loss. For example, if on average 20% of all units fail final inspection, enter 0.2; the planning process inflates net requirements by a factor of 1.25 (1 / 1 - shrinkage rate). |
| Substitution Window Days | If the substitution window type is User-defined, then you specify the number of days a substitute is considered for an item. Hidden by default. |
| Substitution Window Code | Hidden by default. Enter a value that calculates the time a substitute
can be considered for an item.
|
| Target Inventory Days of Supply | Enter the target inventory (in terms of days of supply) to be achieved by the planning engine. Hidden by default. |
| Target Inventory Window | Enter the target inventory (in terms of quantity) to be achieved by the planning engine. Hidden by default. |
