JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Requirements Planning Overview

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Requirements Planning from Oracle provides a means for you to use resource planning tools in distribution or manufacturing environments. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Requirements Planning enables you to use supply and demand balancing logic to create material schedules and detailed production plans that support single-facility or multifacility planning.

With JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Requirements Planning, you can:

• Generate demand projections that you use as input for the planning and scheduling systems.

• Use capacity planning to ensure that sufficient capacity is available to accomplish the planned production schedule.

• Generate a distribution or production plan for one facility.

• Produce a single-facility Material Requirements Planning (MRP) schedule for a single item or all items.

• Compare prospective resource requirements to the capacity that is available in critical work centers.

• Forecast consumption across multiple time periods.

• Set up and generate multilevel master schedules.

• Process work orders with a batch quantity that corresponds to a batch bill of material and use these orders for MRP processing.

• Set up and use process planning by defining stocking types for the process, defining co-products and by-products, and generate Master Production Scheduling (MPS) for the process.

• Use repetitive manufacturing for highly repetitive production that relies on a production rate.

• Set up and maintain multifacility plans to define facility relationships at any level of detail for an entire facility, a product group, master planning family, or an individual item number.

• Set up information for each of the suppliers and for the items that you are planning to purchase to generate ad hoc schedules interactively or generate them by running the Supplier Schedule Generation program.
