Supply Planning
What would have to happen for that demand to be met, infinite or finite, and the exceptions a planner actually works from.
In Supply Chain → Planning · 4 screens
| Screen | Kind | What it is | Columns | Fields | Actions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Supply Plans | List | What would have to happen for the demand to be met. An INFINITE run assumes the factory can do whatever the plan asks; a FINITE one does not, and comparing them is exactly how a planner finds the bottleneck. | 14 | 20 | 2 |
| Planned Orders | List | What the run decided should be ordered, made or moved. A proposal until somebody firms it, and firming one produces a real requisition or works order. | 14 | 16 | 1 |
| Planning Exceptions | List | What the run wants somebody to look at. A run that produced four thousand orders and no exceptions has told nobody anything. | 10 | 1 | 0 |
| Projected Stock | Read-only list | What is on hand, what is coming, what is wanted, week by week for six months. The single most useful screen in planning and the one thing reorder advice could never show. | 10 | 0 | 0 |
