# Planning

Turn your forecast into purchases, production runs and transfers with Moselle Supply Plans, or use a replenishment plan for simple single-warehouse reorders.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Quick Answer:** Planning turns your forecast into orders. A **Supply Plan** is the core plan in Moselle: it plans every warehouse together and proposes the purchases, production runs, and transfers needed to keep each site covered, along with the date you must act on each one. A **Replenishment Plan** is the lighter option for single-warehouse reorders.
{% endhint %}

## What Is Planning in Moselle?

**Planning is where forecasts become orders.** A plan reads your demand forecast, your current stock, and your supply conditions, then tells you what to order, where it should land, and when you have to place it.

When you click **Production** in the left nav, you land on the **Plans list**. Every plan, whatever its type, appears there, grouped under the forecast it was built from. Plans don't update themselves when the forecast changes. You **rebuild** a plan to pull in the latest demand.

## Which Plan Should I Use?

| Plan type                       | What it does                                                                                                                                                          | Use it when                                                                                                                           |

| **Supply Plan** *(recommended)* | Plans your whole network at once and proposes purchases, production runs, and transfers between your own warehouses. Each order has an order-by, ship, and land date. | You have more than one warehouse, a manufacturer or co-packer between your supplier and your shelf, or stock that moves between sites |
| **Replenishment Plan**          | Calculates reorder quantities per SKU from your forecast                                                                                                              | You buy finished goods for a single location and want the quickest path to a reorder list                                             |

**New to Planning?** Start with a Supply Plan. It takes about 10 minutes to set up once your Supply Chain map and supplier catalogs are in place, and it scales as your network grows.
{% endhint %}

## How Does Supply Planning Work?

**Time Required:** 10 minutes for your first plan, then a few minutes per weekly review\
**Difficulty:** Intermediate

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Set your supply conditions

Map your suppliers, warehouses, and channels on the Supply Chain canvas, with a lead time on every connection. Upload each supplier's catalog with MOQ, case pack, and production lead time. If you want a buffer, add a `safety_stock` attribute to your products.

[Where to Set Supply Planning Conditions](/planning-and-execution/replenishment/supply-planning/supply-planning-conditions.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create the plan

Choose **Supply Plan**, then pick a coverage period, a forecast, and a build method. Moselle builds the first version in the background.

[Create a Supply Plan](/planning-and-execution/replenishment/supply-planning/create-a-supply-plan.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Review it

Triage in **Total Overview** to find the SKUs with suggested orders or unserved demand. Then work through them site by site in **Monthly Breakdown**, or switch to a built-in view: **Days On Hand** to check cover, **Replenishment** to work purchases, or **Transfer** to work moves between warehouses.

[Supply Plan Views](/planning-and-execution/replenishment/supply-planning/total-overview-vs-monthly-breakdown.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Stage, place, rebuild

**Stage** the suggestions you agree with so they survive rebuilds. **Place** them to create purchase orders, either one click at a time or in bulk through Mo. Then **rebuild** so Moselle re-plans around the orders you've committed to.

{% content-ref url="/pages/ntoPtvdY7FgeY9KX3g0w" %}
[Suggested, Staged & Placed Orders](/planning-and-execution/replenishment/supply-planning/suggested-staged-and-placed.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Send the orders

Placed orders appear on the **Orders** page. Review them and send them to your supplier or your order management system from there.

{% content-ref url="/pages/n1BNBNbUiilkShUHl0qZ" %}
[Orders](/planning-and-execution/orders.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

**A weekly rhythm that works:** rebuild → review **Urgent** → stage the next one to two months → place what's due → rebuild again.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Do I have to choose between a Supply Plan and a Replenishment Plan?

**Answer:** No. Both appear on the same Plans list and both are built from your forecast, so you can run both for the same period and compare them.

### Do I need a Supply Plan if I only have one warehouse?

**Answer:** Not necessarily. With a single warehouse and no manufacturing step, a replenishment plan gives you a similar reorder answer with less setup. A supply plan becomes worth it once stock moves between sites or production lead times matter.

### Does creating a plan send orders to my suppliers?

**Answer:** No. Plans create purchase orders inside Moselle. Sending them is a separate step you take from the Orders page.

### Where did allocation plans go?

**Answer:** The plan picker now offers **Replenishment Plan** and **Supply Plan** only. If you need to distribute stock you already own across locations, a supply plan can propose **transfers** between your warehouses. For a dedicated allocation plan, contact your Moselle team.

### Why didn't my plan change when I updated the forecast?

**Answer:** Plans are snapshots. Click **Rebuild** in the plan's actions menu to pull in the latest forecast, inventory, and supply conditions. Staged and placed orders in a supply plan are kept.
