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 the Material Planner Workbench Generation form.
  • 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 the Material Planner Workbench Generation form is displayed. 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 green 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 red X is displayed.
