Use Planned Data

Select Yes to use MRP, APS, or MPS planned data to populate the workbench. The system will check the planning output (the same data used to display information on the Planning Detail form) and copy all planned orders (PLNs) that satisfy the following requirements onto the Material Planner Workbench form:

  • The Ref Type field on the Material Planner Workbench form must not be set to Transfer Order
  • The item must not be configurable (has the Configuration field selected on the Items form)
  • The item must not be KANBAN.
Note:  If the Whse field for your user login (specified on the Users form on the Additional information tab) is set to a different warehouse than the global default Whse (specified on the Inventory Parameters form), this option will be disabled and set to No.

Select No if you want to generate the data using the item replenishment or cross-referencing functions .

See Generating Data for the Material Planner Workbench for a description of these functions and instructions on the other fields you must select.
