Priority-based planning

Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management

Traditional master planning uses requirement date to calculate when supply is needed and prioritizing demands when multiple occur simultaneously.
Priority based planning helps determine the order of inventory allocation to different sources of demand when on-hand inventory is insufficient.
Priority based planning increases service levels, lowers inventory levels, and optimizes the supply chain.
Configuration parameters for priority based planning include setting up priority models, coverage groups, and item coverage in Dynamics.
A demo using item F0008 showcases the calculation of priorities based on actual on-hand inventory and demand quantities.
Another demo with item F0008 and a different coverage group demonstrates more advanced priority calculation methods based on reorder points and maximum inventory.
Planning Optimization in Dynamics assigns priorities to demands based on configured rules and actual inventory levels.
The article provides detailed steps and examples of setting up and using priority based planning in Dynamics 365 for efficient inventory management and supply chain operations.
