Distribution Requirements Report (DR100)

Run Distribution Requirements Report (DR100) to print a report of distribution requirements. This report applies to items set up with the time-phased ordering method (TPO) in IC12.1 (Item Location). The TPO reordering method tracks item order requirements and available stock over time. With this method, it is possible to anticipate future situations rather than react to the current situation, and to offer better customer service with a lower inventory investment.

Processing Effect

TPO is a way of expressing future demand, supply, and inventory by time period, and calculating when a replenishment order should be placed to satisfy the demand. The program calculates new planned orders based on the current order demand, remaining forecast, scheduled purchase orders, intransit inventory, requisitions, and current stock on hand.

The kind of document created by this program is based on the document code set up for items using the Reorder form tab of IC12.1 (Item Location).

The program follows the dates defined for the Company. If the report is run for a 53 week company and the report spans more than 1 year, the ending period and the starting period will be 1 day apart. This situation must be taken into account when entering forecasts.

Note: To create requisitions, you must set up requesters in RQ04.1 (Requesters). Requesters for this program are defined as DR100 followed by the Location. For example, for Company 36 and Location EAST, a requester of DR100EAST must be defined.

After printing DR100, use DR25.1 (Planned Orders) to view and adjust planned orders generated by this program.
