Replenishment Scenario I
Planning Forecast with Discrete PO, Version 1.0

Business Overview
The buyer generates a Planning / Delivery Schedule (net rolling forecast) for information only and capacity or lead time planning purposes, to convey anticipated demand or run rates; no authorization to build or ship implied except per trading partner agreement. To authorize build and ship, buyer calculates requirements and places purchase orders, based upon agreed standard product and pricing information from Price / Sales Catalog or upon Quote Request / Responses.

Narrative

Step Description
1. The buyer run Material Requirements Planning (MRP) process. Buyer nets MRP data to generate a planning forecast and determine whether replenishment is required during the current planning cycle.
2. If buyer determines that replenishment is required during the current planning cycle, buyer sends Purchase Order per Order Model 1.
3. Buyer generates planning forecast to send to supplier per Forecast/Planning Model 1.   Planning Forecast is typically regenerated weekly. Any changes/exceptions from a previous run are factored into the new generation of the planning forecast.  The seller responds to the forecast if needed.
4. Prepare for the next MRP run. If there are changes arising out of a supplier's response to a forecast, they are dealt with during this activity, then the next generation of the forecast starts again with 'Process MRP.'
