Introduction
You can use min-max planning to maintain inventory levels for all your items or selected items.
With min-max planning, you specify minimum and maximum inventory levels for your items.
M
When the inventory level for an item drops below the minimum, Oracle Inventory suggests a new requisition or job to bring the balance back
up to the maximum.
O
.C
Oracle Inventory performs min-max planning for your items at either the organization level or the subinventory level. When you min-max

T
plan at the organization level, you can optionally include open sales orders and work in process component requirements as demand in the
min-max planning calculation. Purchase requisitions for buy items and WIP unreleased jobs for make items for the suggested replenishment
O
quantities can be optionally created. You can then turn these requisitions into purchase orders or internal orders and the unreleased jobs into
jobs for the
P
required items.
S
G
When you min-max plan at the subinventory level, you can optionally include only open sales orders as demand in the min-max planning
O
calculation. Requisitions for the suggested replenishment quantities can be optionally created. Also, subinventory level planning cannot
L
generate jobs and does not consider WIP jobs as supply or WIP components as demand. You can

B
then turn these requisitions into purchase orders or internal orders for the required items.
.
Organization Level Min-Max Planning
8
8
When you min-max plan at the organization level, Oracle Inventory looks at inventory balances, purchase orders and WIP jobs as supply and
sales order and WIP job component requirements as demand.
S
To use min-max planning at the organization level you mustP set the item attributes used by minmax planning. You can start by setting the
Inventory Planning Method item attribute to Min-max P
A
planning. You establish your minimum and maximum levels used in the calculation using the Min-Max Minimum Quantity and the Min-Max

optionally set the order quantity modifierE

Maximum Quantity item attributes. You can

L item attributes (Minimum Order Quantity, Maximum Order Quantity, and Fixed Lot Size

C
Multiplier) to further control the suggested order quantities
generated by min-max planning. Set the Make or Buy flag to Make to optionally generate unreleased jobs and to Buy to optionally generate
requisitions. A
For repetitive items, R
O
since you cannot generate repetitive plans, you have the option of generating requisitions, unplanned jobs, or a report
only.

Min-max planning is performed by running the Min-Max Planning Report. By selecting organization level planning, you run min-max
planning for your organization. In addition to the planning level option, Oracle Inventory offers the options to Net Reserved Orders, Net
Unreserved Orders, Net WIP Demand, and Include Non-nettable Inventory Quantities when
M
O
calculating availability. You also specify a Demand Cutoff Date and a Supply Cutoff Date. If you choose No to all the net demand options,

.C
Oracle Inventory performs the following calculation:

T
When you run the Min-max planning report, you can have Oracle Inventory create requisitions for Buy items and unreleased jobs for Make
items by answering Yes to Restock. You must also
O
specify a location to serve as the default deliver to location on the requisitions. Oracle Inventory creates purchase requisitions for Buy items
P
when the item attribute Replenishment Source Type is set to Supplier. Oracle Inventory creates internal requisitions for internal sales orders
for Buy items when the item attribute Replenishment Source Type is set to Inventory. For internal
S
G
requisitions, Oracle Inventory uses the item attribute Source Organization to determine the organization from which the internal requisition
sources the item. For Repetitive Items you
optionally create requisitions or unreleased jobs.

The following example shows you how Oracle Inventory performs min-max planning. Assume an item has the following quantity values and
item attribute settings:
