Min–Max Planning
You can use min–max planning to maintain inventory levels for all of your items or selected items. With min–max planning, you specify minimum and maximum inventory levels for your items. When the inventory level for an item (on–hand quantities plus quantities on order) drops below the minimum, Oracle Inventory suggests a new purchase requisition, internal requisition, move order, or job to bring the balance back up to the maximum.
Oracle Inventory performs min–max planning for your items at either the organization level or the sub inventory level. Sub inventory level planning cannot generate jobs and does not consider WIP jobs as supply or WIP components as demand.
Requesting the Min–Max Planning Report
To request a min–max planning report you define parameters for min–max planning calculation, choose the sorting criterion for the report, and choose whether to create internal requisitions. The INV:Minmax Reorder Approval profile option governs the approval status of internal requisitions created by the Min–Max Planning Report. (Move Orders are automatically approved.)
1. When you run the Min–Max Planning report, you can have Oracle Inventory create requisitions for buy items and unreleased jobs for make items by answering Yes to Restock. You must also specify a location to serve as the default deliver to location on the requisitions.
2.
Oracle Inventory creates purchase requisitions for Buy items when the item attribute Replenishment Source Type is set to Supplier. Oracle Inventory creates internal requisitions for internal sales orders for Buy items when the item attribute Replenishment Source Type is set to Inventory. For internal requisitions, Oracle Inventory uses the item attribute Source Organization to determine the organization from which the internal requisition sources the item.
3. You can define a default item source at the organization, subinventory, or item levels. Oracle Inventory uses the information from the lowest level to determine the source from which to requisition the item. The ascending hierarchy is:
i) Item in a subinventory,
ii) Source in a subinventory,
iii) Item in an organization,
iv) Source in an organization.
