# Supply Types

Just as Sales Types are used to capture sales demand and history, Supply Types are used to capture planned and actual supply - supply plans. A supply plan record contains an item, date and quantity, or an item at a location, date and quantity.

There are a minimum set of Supply Types required to be set up for each function to work. These supply types are:

| Function             | Supply Type      | Comments                                                                                                                                       |
| -------------------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Make Planning        | Make Plan - Main | This is the actual planned supply of vintage WIP items. When you enter 'Planned' quantities in Make Planning, this is where they will save to. |
| Crop Supply Planning | Crop Supply Plan | Planned supply of crop items                                                                                                                   |

To add your Supply Types go to the 'Supply Types' page and select 'Add' from the options (ellipses) menu.

Enter a name and description (you can use the suggestions above or your own name) and select a category type from:

* items-only - for supply plans where location is not a parameter or not yet known (eg long-term plans)
* item-locations - for supply plans where the item-locations are a parameter

Hit 'Save', and the supply type will be created.
