Creating Orders from Supply Plans

After you create supply plans, the orders showing on supply plans also show in the list on these pages:

Important:

Did you know that the NetSuite Supply Planning (MRP) solution replaces Time-Phased Planning, with more features and better performance?

New customers should use the new Supply Planning (MRP) solution. Existing customers should develop a plan to move from Time-Phased Planning to the new solution.

You can place the orders on the plan in these two ways.

Using Order Items

Use the following procedure to bulk order items.

To bulk order items:

  1. Go to Transactions > Inventory > Order Items.

  2. You can filter the list of orders to show only items using the Time Phased replenishment method. To do so, in the Replenishment Method field, select Time Phased.

  3. Verify that the box in the Order column is checked next to each item you want to create orders for.

  4. Verify that the appropriate quantity and rate are shown for each item.

  5. Click Submit.

Now, the purchase orders are created for these items.

For more details about using the Order Items page, see Ordering Items.

Using Mass Create Work Orders

You can use the Mass Create Work orders function to create many work orders at one time for your assembly items.

To mass create work orders, go to Transactions > Inventory > Mass Create Work Orders.

Important:

If you want work orders included in the snapshot, you should generate the work orders as Planned Firm, Planned Open, or Released.

Manufacturing Routings

If you generate orders and also use the Manufacturing Routing and Demand Planning features, you can define production scheduling methods on work orders. For more information, see Production Scheduling Methods Overview and Supply Planning and Routing.
