MPS / MRP Planning Attribute Group
Select the option that Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Oracle Supply Chain Planning uses to decide when to plan the item:
Not planned: The item does not require long-term planning of material requirements. Choose this option for high volume and/or low cost items that do not warrant the administrative overhead of MRP; typically dependent demand items. You cannot use this option unless the Pick Components attribute is checked.
MRP planning: Choose this option for non-critical items that do not require manual planning control,typically dependent demand items.
MPS planning: You master schedule the item and require manual planning control. Choose this option for items with independent demand, items that are critical to your business, or items that control critical resources.
MRP/DRP Planned: Choose this option when you want both MRP and DRP planning for the item.
MPS/DRP Planned: Choose this option when you want both MPS and DRP planning for the item.
DRP Planned: Choose this option when you have multiple organizations for which you are exercising Distribution Requirements Planning for the item.
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.
Consume and derive: You forecast demand directly, explode forecast demand, or use a combination of both
methods.
None: You place sales order demand but do not forecast demand.
Pegging
Enter the pegging option.
Soft Pegging: This option allocates supply to demand based on the Reservation Level option set in the
MRP Plan options.
End Assembly Pegging: This option traces the end assembly the item is pegged to at the top of the bill of material. Even if you do not select end assembly pegging, you can still calculate and view end assemblies on-line.
End Assembly / Soft Pegging: Choose this option for both soft pegging and end assembly pegging.
Hard Pegging: This option allocates supply to demand based on the Reservation Level option set in the MRP Plan options. This pegs supply to demand and demand to supply by project at all levels of a bill of material. This allows you to pre-allocate supply to demand and generate planned orders based on the plan level options.
End Assembly / Hard Pegging : Choose this option for both hard pegging and end assembly pegging.
None: This option disables project material allocation, end assembly pegging, and full pegging.
Other Important options
Exception Set
This attribute is controlled at the Organization level only.
Enter the name of the planning exception set that groups together the sensitivity controls and exception time periods for item-level planning exceptions for the item. The item-level planning exceptions include: overcommitted, shortage, excess, and repetitive variance. The planning process uses this attribute to decide when to raise planning exceptions for the item.
Since different items may require different sensitivity controls and exception time periods, you can define multiple planning exception sets and assign different sets to different items. In other cases, where many items require the same sensitivity controls and exception time periods, you can associate the same set to multiple items.
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).
Enter the number of days before which the planning process will not reschedule orders. The planning process only suggests rescheduling out if:
• The new calculated order date is later than the original order due date plus the acceptable early days.
• the new calculated order does not violate the order of current schedule receipts.
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 does not occur (because of Acceptable Early Days), a second order, due before the first, will not be rescheduled past the first order. This lets you reduce plan nervousness and eliminate minor reschedule recommendations, especially when it is cheaper to build and carry excess inventory for a short time than it is to reschedule an order.
This applies to discrete items only. For repetitive items, use Overrun Percentage.
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.
If selected, the item is excluded from the budget.
If selected, flags the item as a critical component for MPS and DRP planning. This allows you to plan master scheduled items with respect to only critical component and their material resource constraints.
Planned Inventory Point
Indicates 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.
Indicates if the system 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.
Reduce MPS
Select an option to decide when to reduce master production schedule (MPS) quantities to zero.
If Oracle Work in Process and Oracle Purchasing are installed, you get automatic production relief when you create a discrete job, purchase requisition, or purchase order. In this case, you would typically set this attribute to None.
None: Do not reduce order quantities on the MPS.
Past due: Reduce order quantities on MPS entries to zero when the entry is past due.
Demand time fence: Reduce order quantities on MPS entries to zero when the due date moves inside the
demand time fence.
Planning time fence: Reduce order quantities on MPS entries to zero when the due date moves inside the planning time fence.
