The supply plan is where NetSuite compares the demand plan– what I will need, in other words– and what you’re expected to have. From that comparison, the supply plan determines if you need to procure any additional stock. And when I say procure, you might buy those goods from a vendor, or they might be assemblies that you build for yourself.
When creating a supply plan, you select the subsidiary and location, along with a date range that the plan will cover, and then select the items for which you want to create supply plans. For every item you select, one plan gets created.
Creating orders from supply plans
