This document is intended to cover Min-Max planning solution design and the related application
setups.
This document explains the various steps in executing the Min-Max Planning in any inventory
organization. This mainly includes the required application setups and the systematic processes
to be executed for planning/replenishment of the inventory.
Concepts:
1. For automatic generation of BPA release, when Man-max planning report is executed
with Restock = Yes, the BPA, ASL and sourcing rule along with sourcing rule assignment
is assumed to be in place.
2. For automatic generation of internal requisitions, when Man-max planning report is
executed with Restock = Yes, the sourcing rule along with sourcing rule assignment is
assumed to be in place.
3. The demand, as assumed by the Min-Max Planning, is sales order/internal order demand
only. Forecast demand is not considered by Min-Max Planning.
4. The Need-by-date (Promise date) on the requisition and hence on the BPA release is the
system date, the day of the report execution, irrespective of when the on-hand + on-order
goes below the minimum specified. It does not consider the Planning Time Fence that is
considered by MRP. It considers the pre-processing lead time to adjust the need-by-date
and hence the promise date. Thus if pre-processing lead time is specified, need-by-date
(promise date) = system date + pre-processing lead time.
5. Fixed Lot Multiplier can be used to get the Min-Max output in multiples of a specified
quantity.
At the same time, the Planning Method on MRP/MPP tab should be Not planned in order to MRP not consider
this item for planning.
In order to adjust the need-by-date (promise date) on the BPA release, the preprocessing lead time needs to be
populated.
Both # 3 & 4 can be combined to run as a request set and can be scheduled.
