Time-phased Planning Process with Reorder Point Planning 

Use

You can combine time-phased planning with reorder point planning.

Prerequisites

Features

The material is not only planned up to the MRP date recorded in the planning file, but it is also planned if stock falls below the reorder level due to a goods issue. When the stock level falls below the reorder level, the system automatically sets the net change planning indicator in the planning file, which means that the material will be included in the next planning run.

It calculates the interval that starts from the moment that stocks fall below the reorder level to the availability date of the next regular MRP date and uses this for the requirements calculation. The ordered quantity must cover this interval. On the following MRP date, the material is planned as usual.
