You’re on the right track, those are the core fields you need for the Planning Worksheet to generate Production Orders. Here’s the full checklist to make sure it works end-to-end:
1. Item Card Setup
Replenishment FastTab:
> Replenishment System: Prod. Order
> Production BOM No.: Assigned
> Routing No.: Assigned (if you use routings/capacity)
> Lead Time Calculation: Enter realistic value (e.g., 5D)
Planning FastTab:
> Reordering Policy: Lot-for-Lot (or Fixed Reorder Qty if that fits better)
> Reorder Point & Safety Stock Qty: (optional, for demand planning)
> Rescheduling Period / Dampener: (optional, for planning stability)
2. Manufacturing Setup
> Make sure your Manufacturing Setup is correct (Default Flushing Method, Scrap % behavior, etc.).
> Planning Worksheet Usage
3. Run Calculate Regenerative Plan or Calculate Net Change Plan in the Planning Worksheet for your demand (Sales Orders).
The system will create suggested Prod. Order lines you can carry out to convert into planned or firm production orders.
Optional:
> Set up Location Mandatory and SKU Cards if you plan at multiple locations.
> Ensure calendars are defined (Shop Calendar) if you want working days considered in due dates.
With these in place, Sales Order demand will flow to the Planning Worksheet and generate production order suggestions.
