Review Supply Option
Explanation
Use this activity to review and modify values for supply options in Project Deliverables

type of material plan to be created. For example, if the material plan should be
created for Shop Order Plan, Purchase Order Plan, Project MRP
Plan or MRP Plan. A default value for supply option is initially
added, like this:
- Supply option is automatically set to Purchase on a project
deliverable item with a inventory part of purchased type.
- Supply option is automatically set to Shop Order on a project
deliverable item with a inventory part of manufactured type.
