Material Planner Workbench
Use this form to review, modify, and generate multiple planned orders based on the information that you chose on the Material Planner Workbench Generation form.
The Material Planner Workbench provides these benefits:
- Gives you visibility to planned orders generated by Material Planner Workbench Generation
- Reduces the time to firm planned orders, create replenishment orders between warehouses, and cross-reference orders
- Allows you to quickly choose vendors
- Reduces the number of purchase orders you send to your vendors
- Gives you greater control over planned order quantities, due dates, and vendors
Only data generated by the current user on Material Planner Workbench Generation displays. Any items that have the Configuration Flag selected on the Items form cannot be firmed.
If today's date plus the lead time does not exceed the due date, a check mark is displayed next to the Primary and Alternate Lead Time fields. If today's date plus the lead time exceeds the due date, a problem indicator is displayed.
The columns that display in the grid at the bottom of the form depend upon the type of replenishment order selected in the View field.
This table displays which fields display on each view.
