Production Planning Tool helps you plan production and purchase of Items for a
period (usually a week or a month).
This list of Items can be generated from the open Sales Orders in the system
and will generate:
* Production Orders for each Item.
* Purchase Requests for Items whose Projected Quantity is likely to fall below zero.
To use the Production Planning Tool, go to:
> Manufacturing > Tools > Production Planning Tool

The Production Planning Tool is used in two stages:
* Selection of Open Sales Orders for the period based on “Expected Delivery Date”.
* Selection of Items from those Sales Orders.
The tool will update if you have already created Production Orders for a
particular Item against its Sales Order (“Planned Quantity”).
You can always edit the Item list and increase / reduce quantities to plan
your production.
> Note: How do you change a Production Plan? The output of the Production
Planning Tool is the Production Order. Once your orders are created, you can
change them by amending the Production Orders.
