Inventory Planner Maintenance

You use this program to create and maintain the planners that you can assign to selected stock items within the Inventory module.

A Planner indicates the person in a company responsible for planning the manufacture of made-in stock items. Planners are assigned to stock items within the Inventory module.

Planners can be used as a selection criterion in various Requirements Planning reports. For example: If you have a number of planners within a planning department (each responsible for a different product line) you can generate reports selectively by planner.
