MRP Horizontal Plan
Description:
MRP: Horizontal Plan from the Planners Workbench.
- The report can be run for multiple organizations and items within a selected plan
- The report can be used to explode BOMS and display the HP for all components within the BOM
- Select a template to choose to either display the HP by individual components, or by End Assemblies, Components.
Parameters
Plan, Current or Snapshot Data, Buckets, Organization Code, Category Set, Category, Item Type, Exclude Item Type, Item, Item From, Item To, Item Contains, Explode BOMs, Make or Buy, Planner, Buyer, Supply/Demand Source
Used tables
mrp_material_plans, mrp_workbench_bucket_dates, table, mrp_system_items, ap_suppliers, per_people_x, mmp, mtl_system_items_vl, mtl_item_categories, mtl_categories_kfv, mtl_planners, bom_small_expl_temp, mrp_end_assemblies

MRP Horizontal Plan - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
The MRP Horizontal Plan is the classic “spreadsheet” view of the material plan. It displays supply, demand, and projected available balance (PAB) in time buckets (days, weeks, periods) across the horizon. It is the fundamental tool for planners to visualize the supply/demand balance for an item over time.
Business Challenge
Planners need to see the “story” of an item’s inventory. A simple list of orders isn’t enough; they need to see how the inventory level fluctuates.
- Trend Analysis: “Are we consistently running low on stock at the end of the month?”
- Capacity Planning: “Do we have a huge spike in demand in Week 40 that we need to prepare for?”
- Safety Stock Visibility: “When does our projected balance dip below the safety stock level?”
Solution
The MRP Horizontal Plan provides a time-phased view of all planning elements.
Key Features:
- Time Buckets: Aggregates data into daily, weekly, or monthly columns.
- Row Types: Displays separate rows for Gross Requirements, Scheduled Receipts, Planned Orders, and Projected Available Balance.
- BOM Explosion: Can optionally explode the bill of materials to show requirements for components.
Technical Architecture
The report mimics the “Horizontal Plan” form in the Planner’s Workbench.
Key Tables and Views
MRP_MATERIAL_PLANS: The core table storing the time-phased data (bucketed quantities) for the plan.MRP_WORKBENCH_BUCKET_DATES: Defines the start and end dates for the time buckets.MRP_SYSTEM_ITEMS: Stores plan-specific item attributes (like safety stock levels for that specific plan).
Core Logic
- Bucketing: The system aggregates individual supply/demand records into the defined time buckets.
- Calculation: It calculates the Projected Available Balance (PAB) for each bucket:
Previous PAB + Supply - Demand. - Presentation: Pivots the data so that time periods are columns and data types (Supply, Demand) are rows.
Business Impact
- Visual Planning: Makes it easy to spot trends and potential issues at a glance.
- Communication: Provides a clear, standard format for discussing inventory plans with suppliers or production managers.
- Stability: Helps planners smooth out production by visualizing peaks and valleys in demand.
Oracle E-Business Suite Reporting Library
We provide an open source Oracle EBS SQLs as a part of operational and project implementation support toolkits for rapid Excel reports generation.
Blitz Report™ is based on Oracle EBS forms technology, and hence requires minimal training. There are no data or performance limitations since the output files are created directly from the database without going through intermediate file formats such as XML.
Blitz Report can be used as BI Publisher and Oracle Discoverer replacement tool. Standard Oracle BI Publisher and Discoverer reports can also be imported into Blitz Report for immediate output to Excel. Typically, reports can be created and version tracked within hours instead of days. The concurrent request output automatically opens upon completion without the need for re-formatting.
The Filters, Columns, Rows and Values fields are used to create and deliver the data in pivot table format with full drill down to details.

The Excel template upload functionality in Blitz Report allows users to create their own layouts by uploading an Excel template with additional sheets and charts, automatically refreshed when the report runs again. This allows to create custom dashboards and more advanced visualizations of report data.

You can download and use Blitz Report free of charge for your first 30 reports.
The installation and implementation process usually takes less than 1 hour; you can refer to our installation and user guides for specific details.
If you would like to optimize your Oracle EBS implementation and or operational reporting you can visit www.enginatics.com to review great ideas and example usage in blog. Or why not try for yourself in our demo environment.
