Oracle Min Max Planning
Min Max Planning

Min Max planning is one of the inventory planning method where when quantity reaches min level, system auto
create purchase requisition to order material from supplier or can create a move order to transfer material from
other Sub-inventory based on our setups. Min Max planning can be done both at sub inventory level or Inv org
level. In org level the item quantity is checked in all subinventories

Lets see how to do Min Max Planning at Subinventory level

Setups

2) Set planning method as Min Max in General Planning tab.
3) Navigate to Setup>Organization>Subinventories. Here in Item/subinventory specify Min and Max Quantities

demand arises.
