Oracle ADVANCED Supply Chain Planning provides you with the option of using demands from all planned ORDERS during hub and spoke planning. When you use your plans as demand schedules to other plans, the planning ENGINE considers all planned orders in the source plan as demands and explodes down the bills of material creating demands for the lower level components.

Hub and spoke planning uses a multi-plan approach where you can plan across the supply chain at the top level and then release planned orders to a lower level manufacturing plan for all MRP planned ITEMS. The top level plan includes only end items or end items with critical sub-assemblies, and typically only the final assembly plants. The lower level plan (MRP) is at the component level and includes the final assembly plants and the component manufacturing plants. Hub and spoke planning is a commonly used term for this type of SUBSET planning.
