Planning Repository
The Planning Repository stores related planning information that enables you to control how often NetSuite updates planning inputs. The repository refresh process accumulates the most up-to-date data from NetSuite to use for supply planning. The planning process calculates projected available quantity, generates supply orders, and action and exception messages.
This extraction process offers the following advantages:
-
Enables planners to control the timing of the input coming from the execution system.
-
Optimizes the data repository that supply planning depends on.
-
Integrates with other manufacturing and logistics execution solutions.
-
Provides a time consistent view of supply and demand during a supply planning run.
-
Provides a time consistent view of supply and demand for the planner to refer to while resolving issues and doing analysis.
This process runs in the background to update the planning data repository which stores data for the supply planning run on the supply plan. It selects all items containing the supply plan setup on the replenishment method field on the item record.
