Feature Summary

Supply Planning

Supply Planning

Override the Deliver-To Location on Planned Orders

You may have a situation where there are multiple receiving docks modeled as a location for a plant or distribution center (also known as an inventory organization), and the purchasing or transfer order document needs to specify the destination location to receive the inbound supply. For example, you may have a specific location to receive refrigerated supplies and another one for dry goods.

With this update, you can override default deliver-to locations prior to release of planned orders for execution. The corresponding REST APIs also incorporate the ability to perform this override.

Incorporate business-specific decisions for the deliver-to location of inbound supply orders.

Watch a Demo.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

• This functionality applies only to planned buy or transfer supplies that are released manually. The automated release process always uses the receiving organization's default location.

• This functionality doesn't allow changing the location of collected purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or transfer orders.

• You must first mark the planned buy or transfer supply for release for the Implement Location field to be editable.

• Only deliver-to locations that have been associated with the receiving organization can be selected in the Implement Location field in the Supplies and Demands UI or when using the Planning Supplies REST resource.

• Specifying an implement location that's different from the default location doesn't trigger planning to re-evaluate shipping method or transit time. It's assumed that the implement location is in close proximity to the default location and therefore doesn't impact the shipping method or transit time.

• If you're using a Fusion source system, then locations are associated to the receiving organization using the Manage Inventory Organization Locations task in Setup and Maintenance.

• If you're using an External source system, then locations are associated to the receiving organization using the Organization Site tab in the Supply Chain Planning Organizations file-base data import (FBDI) template.

Key Resources

• Watch Override the Deliver-to Location on Planned Orders Readiness Training.

Role Information

You have a couple options for giving people access to this feature, depending on whether you're assigning them predefined job roles or your own configured job roles.

• Users who are assigned any of these predefined job roles are automatically able to access this feature:
  • Supply Chain Planner (ORA_MSC_SUPPLY_CHAIN_PLANNER_JOB)
  • Materials Planner (ORA_MSC_MATERIALS_PLANNER_JOB)
  • Replenishment Planner (ORA_MSC_REPLENISHMENT_PLANNER_JOB)

• Users who are assigned configured job roles that contain this privilege are able to access this feature:
  • Edit Demands and Supplies (MSC_EDIT_DEMANDS_AND_SUPPLIES_PRIV)

Create New Supplies Based on Earliest Date Constraint

In some industries, such as healthcare, there may be situations, such as a temporary product recall, where no new orders can be placed on a supply location until a specified date. With this update, Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Planning honors the business requirement of creating new supply order recommendation only after the date.

You can configure each product's earliest supply creation date using the new Create Supply After attribute.

1. The Create Supply attribute, a previously existing attribute, determines whether the plan can create a new supply for the item
2. The Create Supply After attribute, a new attribute with this update, determines the earliest date a new supply can be created on.

Prior to this update, the Create Supply attribute was respected only in constrained supply plans. With this update, this attribute will also be respected in unconstrained supply plans.

With this update, both unconstrained and constrained supply plans use the new Create Supply After attribute to determine when to create the new supply.

These attributes control only creation of new make and buy planned orders. They don't control the creation of new transfer planned orders or reschedules of existing orders because the intent is to limit new orders while utilizing all possible existing inventory in the supply chain.

Honor date constraints for ordering new supplies of an item.

Steps to Enable

Use the Opt In UI to enable this feature. For instructions, refer to the Optional Uptake of New Features section of this document.

Offering: Supply Chain Planning  No Longer Optional From: Update 22D

After opt in is enabled, perform these steps to begin using the earliest date constraint for new supplies:

1. In the source system, edit the required items to specify the create supply after date, and then run data collections
2. Create a supply plan or demand and supply plan
3. Run the plan

Tips And Considerations

• Plans ensure that the the Suggested Due Date of any new make or buy supply is after the Create Supply After date. However, the other dates, such as Suggested Dock Date, can be prior to the Create Supply After date based on lead times.

• In aggregate planning buckets, the due dates are always at the end of the bucket while the dates released to the source system are at the beginning of the bucket. So in such cases the released date could fall prior to the Create Supply After date.

• If a demand is satisfied late due to the Create Supply After date constraint, then the Late Supply Pegged to Sales Order (or Forecast) exception is generated.

• The template for upload of items through file-based data import (FBDI) (the ScpItemImportTemplate.xlsm FBDI template) now includes the Create Supply After attribute.

• The REST services for Items (in Plan Inputs and Simulation Sets) now include the Create Supply After attribute.

Key Resources

• Watch Create New Supplies Based on Earliest Date Constraint Readiness Training.
• The Leverage New Item Attribute for Controlling the Supply Creation Date feature description on Oracle Cloud Readiness for Product Hub (release 21D)

Role Information

You have a couple of options for giving people access to this feature, depending on whether you're assigning them predefined job roles or your own configured job roles.

• Users who are assigned the following job roles are automatically able to access this feature:
  • Supply Chain Planner (ORA_MSC_SUPPLY_CHAIN_PLANNER_JOB)
  • Materials Planner (ORA_MSC_MATERIALS_PLANNER_JOB)

• Users who are assigned configured job roles that contain the following privileges are able to access this feature:
  • Monitor Supply Planning Work Area (MSC_MONITOR_SUPPLY_PLANNING_WORK_AREA_PRIV)
  • View Items (MSC_VIEW_ITEMS_PRIV)

Use Downstream Replenishment Plans As Demand Schedules

In a multiechelon supply chain network, you may want to replenish downstream locations using replenishment planning techniques available as part of Oracle Fusion Cloud Demand Management while the rest of the supply network is planned using Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Planning. With this update, you can feed the demand from a replenishment plan for the downstream location as a demand schedule on the upstream location. This demand schedule can then be used to generate the plan for the rest of your supply network.

   Navigation: Supply Planning Work Area > Manage Plans task > Create Plan > Supply Tab > Organizations and Schedules Subtab

Flexibly configure the planning logic to be used for multiechelon supply chain network.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

• You can use this feature for both unconstrained and constrained supply plans.

• Lower echelons (customer-facing locations) in your supply chain will be planned in a replenishment plan and driven by policies. Upper echelons, such as distribution centers and manufacturing facilities, will be planned in supply planning. Supply planning will plan the demands at upper echelons from a replenishment plan.

• You will see a new Planned Transfer Order Demand order type in supply planning for the demands coming from lower echelons in a replenishment plan.

• Recommendation: You shouldn't have any overlap between organizations in the replenishment plan and supply plan.

Key Resources

• Watch Use Downstream Replenishment Plans as Demand Schedules Readiness Training.

Role Information

You have a couple options for giving people access to this feature, depending on whether you're assigning them predefined job roles or your own configured job roles.

• Users who are assigned the following job roles are automatically able to access this feature:
  • Supply Chain Planner (ORA_MSC_SUPPLY_CHAIN_PLANNER_JOB)
  • Materials Planner (ORA_MSC_MATERIALS_PLANNER_JOB)

• Users who are assigned configured job roles that contain the following privileges are able to access this feature:
  • Monitor Supply Planning Work Area (MSC_MONITOR_SUPPLY_PLANNING_WORK_AREA_PRIV)
  • View Demands and Supplies (MSC_VIEW_DEMANDS_AND_SUPPLIES_PRIV)

Plan Counter Sales Orders

In industries such as wholesale distribution, some orders are fulfilled immediately from stock on hand, also known as counter sales. To improve the overall user experience associated with capturing transactions related to this fulfillment mode, Oracle Fusion Order Management Cloud now provides the ability to fulfill these orders without requiring picking and shipping transactions.

Oracle Fusion Cloud Demand Management and Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Planning now support this fulfillment mode by collecting counter sales orders. Oracle Demand Management uses the history of all sales orders, including counter sales orders, to generate a forecast. Oracle Supply Planning not only ensures that there’s enough stock on hand to fulfill forecasted counter sales orders, but also ensures that the net demand calculations for the current time period account for this fulfillment mode.

Example of how you can consume forecast with fulfilled or closed counter sales orders in a Supply Plan which starts in order management and then is planned according in supply planning:

Example of how you can generate forecast from fulfilled or closed counter sales orders collected as shipments history in a Demand Plan:

Plan accurately by also considering sales orders fulfilled over the counter.

Watch a Demo.

Steps to Enable

Use the Opt In UI to enable this feature. For instructions, refer to the Optional Uptake of New Features section of this document.

Offering: Supply Chain Planning  No Longer Optional From: Update 22D

In addition to opting in to this feature for the Supply Chain Planning offering, your site must opt in to the Reduce Inventory When a Sales Order Doesn't Require Picking or Shipping feature in the Order Management offering.

• If your site has already opted in to the Reduce Inventory When a Sales Order Doesn't Require Picking or Shipping feature in the Order Management offering, then you don't need to opt in to that feature again, but you do still need to opt in to the Plan Counter Sales Orders feature in the Supply Chain Planning offering

• If your site hasn't already opted in to the Reduce Inventory When a Sales Order Doesn't Require Picking or Shipping feature in the Order Management offering, then you need to opt in to that feature as well as the Plan Counter Sales Orders feature in the Supply Chain Planning offering

Tips And Considerations

• The Collections processes refer to the  value set in Oracle Fusion Cloud Order Management for the Inventory Transaction Date for Order Lines Order Management parameter to derive the schedule ship date or demand date for the open counter sales orders for Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Planning.

• Counter sales orders that are interfaced to inventory are collected as closed sales orders or as part of bookings and shipments history to Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Planning.

• The Plan Counter Sales Orders feature isn't applicable to external source systems.

Key Resources

• Watch Plan Counter Sales Orders Readiness Training.

Release Recommendations for Purchase Orders That Don't Originate from Oracle Supply Planning

Your enterprise may allow your users or other systems to generate purchase orders in Oracle Fusion Cloud Procurement outside the planning process that Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Planning enables. Previously, these purchase orders were collected and accounted for in the planning process, but the reschedule or cancel recommendations released from the planning work area weren't processed in Oracle Fusion Cloud Purchasing. With this update, if you or Oracle Supply Planning determine that a purchase order needs to be rescheduled or canceled, including the purchase orders generated outside the regular planning process, then you or Oracle Supply Planning can do so.

Example of how you can release reschedule recommendations for purchase orders that didn’t originate from Oracle Supply Planning to Oracle Procurement:

Improve control on purchase orders that didn’t originate from Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Planning.

Watch a Demo.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

Oracle Supply Planning will release recommendations to update the Requested Delivery Date or Requested Ship Date attributes for a purchase order that didn't originate from Oracle Supply Planning depending on whether a purchase order is enabled for buyer managing transportation or not.

Refresh Collected Measure Data

You can now refresh data for a specific measure or a subset of measures in a plan that are collected by file-based data import (FBDI) without having to rerun the plan. This functionality streamlines the inbound measure data flow from sources, such as Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Performance Management, into Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Planning to orchestrate integrated business planning. It’s also useful for tracking updates to sales history while preserving current statistical forecasts.

Orchestrate Refresh Measures Processes job in Scheduled Processes (Navigation: Tools > Scheduled Processes > Schedule New Process > Orchestrate Refresh Measures Processes)

Quickly streamline your supply plan with up-to-date data for planning measures and orchestrate integrated business planning using collected financial measures.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

• The scheduled process considers measures loaded using the file-based data import template for Supply Chain Planning Measures.

• Create and use a measure catalog that contains a subset of measures to refresh.

• Include both the Shipments History (or Bookings History) measure and the default measure used to refresh Shipments History in your measure catalog. For example, if the default measure used for the Default Shipments History Measure profile option is Shipments History: Requested Item by Shipped Date, then include this measure and the Shipments History measure in your measure catalog.

• When introducing a new measure to a plan, you must first run the plan to refresh with current data before you can refresh that measure's data using this new scheduled process.

Configure Color by Measure to Display in Tiles

Now when you configure a graph color for a measure, that color will be used in tiles that contain the measure as well as in graphs. This usage provides consistency across graphs and tiles and makes it easy to visualize the same measure in multiple analytics.

Control the colors to be displayed for measures in graphs and tiles to readily convey the impact of a measure.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

• You may have to change which color you select for a measure. If the color you configure for a measure is the same color as one of the colors automatically assigned to a measure in a specific graph, then you have to select a different color for the measure you're configuring.

• In bar, line, and radar graphs, a measure must be the only one located in the Y-Axis to display the configured graph color.

Selected Supply Planning Bug Fixes in This Update

This update includes some bug fixes that can change the way Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Planning works. This isn't a full list of all the bug fixes in this update. This list includes the bug fixes that can cause a noticeable change in application behavior.

Reschedule Existing Unfirm Supply Without Applying Preprocessing Lead Time Again

Prior to this update, an item’s preprocessing lead time was always applied during reschedule of an existing unfirm supply in supply planning.

With this update, during reschedule of an existing unfirm supply, the duration of suggested order date to suggested start date, also known as the preprocessing lead time duration, is considered as already elapsed when the supply order was created. Therefore, the preprocessing lead time won’t be applied again when calculating the value for the Suggested Order Date attribute during reschedule of an existing unfirm supply. In other words, the preprocessing lead time will be considered equal to 0.

This change is for both unconstrained and constrained supply planning and applies to the following supply order types:

• Transfer order
• Purchase requisition
• Purchase order 
• In-transit shipment
• Shipment in receiving
• Work order (Standard, Non-standard and Maintenance work orders)

Oracle reference: 33841483

Select Relative Time Range for Analysis in Tables and Graphs

With the 22B update, the behavior of the relative time filter in tables, graphs, tiles, and analysis sets is revised. The relative time filter is configured using the Advanced Filter icon on the Members tab in the Selector Tool. Prior to this update, the relative time filter would always include the current time period, even if the Time Periods After setting was set to zero. The behavior was changed to include the current time period only if the Time Periods After setting is set to at least 1. For example, a filter of 3 months prior to today and 0 months after today would previously return the prior 3 months and the current month. Now, a filter of 3 months prior to today and 0 months after today will return only the prior 3 months and not include the current month. To obtain the same results for your relative time filter as before this update, you must increase the value of the Time Periods After setting by 1.

Contact Oracle Support if you want to revert to pre-22B behavior.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Attribute-Based Planning

Plan and analyze your supply chain using configured attributes specific to your business needs, such as country of origin. Forecast for demand qualified by these attributes. Configure attributes and attribute netting rules in a supply plan so that only qualified supply, based on attributes of inventory, purchase orders, transfer orders, or work order supplies, is used to satisfy demand. Generate planned orders for these attributes at any level of your supply chain.

After you opt in to the feature named Attribute-Based Planning, you can use the features in this section.

Create Attribute-Based Netting Rules with Valid Associations

Reducing erroneous data entry, especially when entering business-specific rules for project netting, is a key enhancement. When you create the attribute-based planning rule for your project-driven supply chain planning process, additional validations are applied to ensure that only the appropriate project groups, projects, or tasks are used for an attribute-based netting rule.

Example of configuring project netting sequences using attribute-based netting rules:

Example of attribute-based netting rule netting sequence step displaying list of projects which belongs to a selected project group attribute value:

Reduce the possibility of inconsistent netting rules for your project-driven supply chain plan through additional data validations.

Steps to Enable

Use the Opt In UI to enable this feature. For instructions, refer to the Optional Uptake of New Features section of this document.

Offering: Supply Chain Planning

Enable the Plan Project-Specific Supply feature as follows:

• If your enterprise doesn’t use Oracle Supply Chain Execution Cloud:
  • In the Offerings work area, select the Supply Chain Planning offering. Click Opt In Features.
  • On the Opt In: Supply Chain Planning page, click the Features icon for the Supply Chain Planning offering.
  •  Enable the Project-Driven Supply Chain feature, and then enable the Plan Project-Specific Supply  feature.

• If your enterprise uses Oracle Supply Chain Execution Cloud and has already opted in to the Project-Driven Supply Chain feature:
  • In the Offerings work area, select either the Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management offering or the Supply Chain Planning offering. Click Opt In Features.
  • On the Opt In page, click the Features icon for the offering.
  •  Enable the Plan Project-Specific Supply feature.

• If your enterprise uses Oracle Supply Chain Execution Cloud and hasn't already opted in to the Project-Driven Supply Chain feature:
  • In the Offerings work area, select either the Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management offering or the Supply Chain Planning offering. Click Opt In Features.
  • On the Opt In page, click the Features icon for the offering.
  • Enable the Project-Driven Supply Chain feature, and then enable the Plan Project-Specific Supply feature.
  • Perform the required setup for the Project-Driven Supply Chain feature. For details, refer to the Project-Driven Supply Chain chapter in the Implementing Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management guide on the Oracle Help Center.

Tips And Considerations

• With this update:
  • You must now use only attribute-based netting rules to plan project-specific supply
  • The Manage Project Netting Rules task is no longer available in the work areas where it was previously available: Plan Inputs, Planning Central, Supply Planning, and Integrated Demand and Supply Planning. Instead you must use the Manage Attribute-Based Netting Rules task.
  • Project-based netting rules that were created using the Manage Project Netting Rules task can't be selected in the list of values for the Netting Rules plan option that's available in the Planning Central, Supply Planning, and Integrated Demand and Supply Planning work areas
  • Plans scheduled to run with a project-based netting rule will end with a warning. You must assign an attribute-based netting rule instead of a project-based planning for a successful plan run

Key Resources

• Watch Create Attribute-Based Netting Rules with Valid Associations Readiness Training.

Role Information

You have a couple options for giving people access to this feature, depending on whether you're assigning them predefined job roles or your own configured job roles.

• Users who are assigned any of these predefined job roles are automatically able to access this feature:
  • Supply Chain Planner (ORA_MSC_SUPPLY_CHAIN_PLANNER_JOB)
  • Materials Planner (ORA_MSC_MATERIALS_PLANNER_JOB)

• Users who are assigned configured job roles that contain these privileges are able to access this feature:

  • Monitor Demand and Supply Planning Work Area (MSC_MONITOR_DEMAND_AND_SUPPLY_PLANNING_WORK_AREA_PRIV)

Display User-Defined Attributes on Orders

You may have used a variety of standard fields or descriptive flexfields on inventory data, sales orders, purchase orders, transfer orders, and work orders for tracking fulfillment. With this update, you can map these attributes to a planning attribute for visibility purposes. The planning attribute is then available in the Supplies and Demands table for analysis and is editable. When you release supply orders for execution, the attribute value that you specified on a particular order is communicated back for execution.

Here's how you can use the Create Planning Attributes task to create and configure a new display attribute in supply planning.

You can then map the new display attribute to either a descriptive flexfield or to one of the selected standard attributes on the related source document, such as work orders.

Examples of such user-defined display attributes are the Work Order Subtype or WIP Accounting Class attributes on a make order. You can view such user-defined attributes like any other attribute in the supplies and demands table, and also edit them before releasing the order to the execution system, in this case to Oracle Fusion Cloud Manufacturing. All user-defined attributes configured in the application are automatically released as part of the planning recommendations. 

Flexibly analyze, edit, and release planned orders with user-defined attributes.

Steps to Enable

Use the Opt In UI to enable this feature. For instructions, refer to the Optional Uptake of New Features section of this document.

Offering: Supply Chain Planning  No Longer Optional From: Update 22D

When you opt in to use this feature, you must opt in to the feature named: Attribute-Based Planning, and the feature named: Display User-Defined Attributes on Orders. If you previously opted in to the Attribute-Based Planning feature, then you don't need to opt in to that feature again, but you do still need to opt into the Display User-Defined Attributes on Orders feature.

Enable both Attribute-Based Planning and Display User-Defined Attributes on Orders features as follows:

• In the Offerings work area, select the Supply Chain Planning offering. Click Opt In Features.
• On the Opt In: Supply Chain Planning page, click the Features icon for the Supply Chain Planning offering.
• Enable Attribute-Based Planning and Display User-Defined Attributes on Orders features.

After opt in is enabled, perform these steps to begin using the user-defined attributes

1. Create a new planning attribute of the Display Attribute type, map it to a source attribute, and run data collections
2. Create a supply plan or demand and supply plan
3. Run the plan

Tips And Considerations

• If the display attributes you're creating need to be editable, then you need to create them with a value set (a set of valid values.) All user edits will then be validated against these valid values. Currently free form text edits for these attributes isn't supported.

• You can edit these attributes in any supply plan or demand and supply plan. In addition, you can edit them in a simulation set for planned orders, on hand, and manual demands.

• The maximum number of planning attributes supported is 16, out of which:
  • 3 are always used for the Project Group, Project, and Task attributes
  • The remaining 13 can be either be used as display attributes for ad-hoc edits or as netting and allocation attributes. 

• After an attribute is created, you can't change the attribute's type. Instead, you have to delete and re-create it.

• Collection and release of these user-defined attributes is supported for your Oracle Fusion source system only. For EBS source systems, there is no out-of-box support to collect or import these display attributes into the execution modules. However, the files to import data (file-based data import) and export data (planning recommendations) from Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Planning contain these user-defined attributes.

Project-Driven Supply Chain

Project-Driven Supply Chain is an end-to-end, integrated solution across the Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Management and Oracle Fusion Cloud Project Management applications. This solution is designed to support various business processes of manufacturing and asset-intensive companies.

You can use the Project-Driven Supply Chain solution to manage your supply chain processes in the context of projects without creating separate organizations for each project. You can also capture supply chain costs as project expenditures.

NOTE: Review the Attribute-Based Planning section of this document for additional updates related to project-driven supply chain.

After you opt in to the feature named Project-Driven Supply Chain, you can use the feature described in this section.

Release Recommendations for Transfers of Project Supplies

In a variety of project-driven enterprises, only a subset of supplies of an item can be used to satisfy the demand for that item. The typical approach is to dedicate supplies to particular projects or tasks by striping the supplies and demands by project and task attributes. For example, on-hand inventory or purchase orders would be striped by project and task. In this scenario, only the on-hand or purchase order supply that match the project and task requirements can be used to satisfy say, a sales order demand. However, this approach may lead to situations where you have excess supplies for some projects.

To reduce inventory costs, it’s useful to check for excess supplies across projects prior to ordering new supply for a project. You can set up flexible rules to enable this type of search when plans are created using the Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Planning work area.

With this update, the result of such a plan will produce a recommendation to move supplies from one project or task with excess to another with a shortage. Planners can choose to reduce excess in your project supplies by releasing recommendations from the plan to change the project attribution on the following documents, and the subsequent execution steps will proceed accordingly:

• Purchase order schedules that aren't received or invoiced
• Transfer order lines that aren't shipped
• Work orders with unreleased status
• On-hand inventory  which is either striped with project and task or not striped with project ans task common inventory

Example of how you can configure plan options to release recommendations for transfer of project supplies:

Constraint-Based Planning

Create and run supply plans that consider material and capacity constraints. Focus on meeting demand on time by evaluating all possible alternatives, such as using different sources, substitute components, or alternative work definitions.

After you opt in to the feature named Constraint-Based Planning, you can use the feature described in this section.

Respect Organization-Specific Item Substitution Rules

In a variety of industries, it’s desirable to substitute an ordered item with an equivalent item when there’s a shortage. Previously, you could set up end-item substitution rules globally only in the master inventory organization. With this update, you can set up more granular substitution rules for individual inventory organizations.

For example, you can set up one set of substitution rules for your organizations supporting North American sales and another set of substitution rules for your organizations supporting sales in another organization. However, you can also manage a set of rules globally that are applicable across the enterprise by specifying them centrally in the master organization which are then inherited by all organizations.

With this update, you can also use ranks assigned to these substitution rules to optimize selection of substitutes in a preferred order by the constrained supply plan. The rank isn't required, but if specified must be unique for that from item and organization where the rule is used.

In this update, the Item Relationships table is enhanced to display the attributes of Organization, Master Organization,and Rank. The table also shows if the rule is controlled at the master organization or not. If the rule is controlled at the master organization, then the table shows both the rule specified at the master organization and the inherited rule in all the child organizations.

Set up and use granular control over end-item substitution.

Steps to Enable

Use the Opt In UI to enable this feature. For instructions, refer to the Optional Uptake of New Features section of this document.

Production Scheduling

Generate feasible factory schedules that maximize shop floor throughput and return on investment in resources and labor. You can calculate, manage, and monitor realistic schedules that the shop floor can execute on, while optimizing the usage of critical resources and meeting customer demand on time as best as possible.

After you opt in to the feature named Production Scheduling, you can use the features in this section.

Analyze the Impact of Raw Material Constraints on Schedules

In the Gantt chart you can now find work order operations that consume an item’s on-hand inventory or a specific purchase order or inbound transfer order. These work order operations are highlighted in the Gantt chart. Similarly, for a given operation selected in the Gantt chart, you can filter the new on-hand inventory and inbound supplies tables to show the relevant rows only. These capabilities improve your schedule analysis and help you understand how material constraints influence your production schedule.

Following example shows those work order operations, which consume the item quantity supplied by the selected purchase order line in the table, in a distinct color. Selecting a row in the On-hand inventory table will behave analogously.

Highlight Consuming Work Order Operations in Gantt Chart

The next example shows the On-hand inventory table content filtered to only show the rows, whose item quantities are directly consumed by the operations selected in the Gantt chart. This way you can identify which specific inbound supplies or on-hand records are needed for specific work order operations. 

Filter Table Content by Operation Selection in the Gantt Chart

The On-hand inventory and Inbound supplies tables have filter capabilities against several columns; column-based sorting is also available. This enables a user to quickly find specific on-hand or inbound supply records.

From the On-hand inventory table you can navigate to the Manage Item Quantities UI page in the Inventory Management work area in order to view more detailed information about a specific item’s on-hand quantities.

Enhance your analysis of the impact of material availability on production schedules.

This feature improves the scheduler’s understanding of material constraints and their impact on the schedule, enhancing overall schedule explainability. For example, if a work order operation is scheduled further out in the horizon than expected and despite the involved resources being available earlier, then an on-hold inventory lot coming off-hold at that later time or an inbound supply with a later requested date out may be the reason for that work order operation to be scheduled where it is. Selecting that work order operation in the Gantt chart and filtering the On-hand inventory and/or Inbound supplies tables will provide that answer.

Respect Hold-Until Dates on On-Hand Lots in Production Scheduling

In industries that manufacture products that take time to be available for downstream use after production is complete, an inventory lot is put on hold with a future date that specifies when the inventory lot is available. There are various business reasons why time may be needed, such as curing time for meat products or aging time for cheese. When these types of time requirements occur, you can use the hold date on an inventory lot in Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Execution.

Oracle Fusion Cloud Production Scheduling honors the hold date and makes the supply available for downstream use on the hold date. This approach results in a more accurate and realistic production schedule.

On-Hand Inventory Table Showing Inventory Lots with Hold Dates Inside the Schedule Horizon

Only inventory lots with hold dates inside the schedule horizon are displayed individually. All other inventory lots for an item are aggregated into a single value and displayed in the On-Hand Quantity field.

From the On-hand inventory table you can navigate to the Manage Item Quantities page in the Inventory Management work area to view more detailed information about an item's on-hand quantities and inventory lots.

Using the connectivity between the On-hand inventory table and the Gantt chart, you can easily analyze when a specific inventory lot is consumed and by which work order operations. You can also start with work order operations that are selected in the Gantt chart, and then find the inventory lots that are consumed by the selected work order operations and evaluate whether the associated hold dates may have impacted the work order operation scheduled start times.

Increase accuracy of production scheduling calculations considering all constraints on available supply to match demand.

Order Backlog Management

Reschedule your order backlog by prioritizing orders based on flexible demand priority rules. You can simulate the effect of different rules to find the best combination of scheduled dates and sources based upon the latest supply information, and release the updated orders to order management systems for execution.

After you opt in to the feature named Order Backlog Management, you can use the features described in this section.

Control the Range of Shipment History to Include in Allocations

Using backlog management allocation rules, you can limit access to scarce supply to demands from priority sales channels, preferred customers, or other specified criteria over a predetermined interval of time. With this update, backlog management includes demands that were already shipped over a specified date range in allocation quantities when it calculates the proportional allocation to each node in the allocation scheme. You can set date ranges for products with high demand. This high demand could correspond to model launches, commercial events, or holidays, such as New Year’s Day.

For each allocation attribute, Oracle Fusion Cloud Backlog Management:

• Determines the available supply to meet new orders based on specific allocation targets
• Nets the orders shipped during a given date range against the original supply earmarked for that date range

Example of the date range to consider for shipping history that you can assign to an allocation rule:

Date Range to Consider Shipping History tab (Supply Chain Planning > Backlog Management > Manage Supply Allocation Rules > Edit)

Allocate scarce supply more accurately over time by including historical shipments in the calculation of future remaining allocation quantities.

Offering: Supply Chain Planning

When you opt in to use this feature, you must opt in to 2 features in the Supply Chain Planning offering:

• The Backlog Management feature
• Either the Attribute-Based Planning feature or the Project-Driven Supply Chain feature

Opting in to the Backlog Management feature and the Attribute-Based Planning or Project-Driven Supply Chain feature also enables the feature described here. If you previously opted in to the Backlog Management feature and either the Attribute-Based Planning feature or Project-Driven Supply Chain feature, then this feature is automatically enabled.

After the opt ins are enabled, perform these steps to begin to allocate supply based on plan attributes:

1. Define value sets and flexfield segments for user-defined planning attributes in you Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM applications if collecting planning attributes from an Oracle Fusion source system.
2. Define planning attributes on the Manage Planning Attributes page and define planning attributes mapping.
3. Specify planning attributes mapping with the Allocation Tier on the Manage Backlog Planning Options page in the Backlog Management work area.
4. Prepare file-based data import (FBDI) csv files for planning attribute values and demands with planning attribute values if collecting data from an external source system.
5. Run data collections.

Tips And Considerations

• You can now use a new tab on the Manage Supply Allocation Rules page:
  • You use the new Date Range to Consider Shipping History tab to enable definition of date intervals for which Oracle Backlog Management should consider shipping history data
  • You can set the Start Date and End Dates fields to any day of the week
  • A start date is required if you want to consider shipping history in the calculation of future allocation

• Collected shipping history data is leveraged by Oracle Backlog Management:
  • Shipping history data already being collected for supply planning is leveraged by Oracle Backlog Management for allocation calculations
  • The value of  the Past Due Sales Order Days field in the Organization tab on the Maintain Supply Network Model page controls the number of days in the past for which shipping history information is collected

• Historical shipment data impacts only the allocation calculations of the first weekly bucket:
  • The first allocation bucket relative to the system date alone will reflect the impact of the historical shipment data
  • The allocation calculations in future buckets aren't affected by the historical shipment data

• For number-based allocation, when you make quantity adjustments, you must keep in mind the shipped sales orders:
  • To derive meaningful results while using number-based allocation in conjunction with specification of a shipment history interval, any numeric adjustment to the allocated supply for allocation nodes should be done such that the allocated supply quantity exceeds the shipped sales order quantity for that allocation node during the interval

• In the Date Range to Consider Shipping History tab of the Manage Planning Allocation Rules page, Oracle Backlog Management will take into consideration shipping history data for the date range which includes the current system date:
  • To obtain meaningful results, the start date for the allocation targets in the rule should coincide with, or be earlier than, the start date for consideration of shipped sales orders

• Backlog Management will take the allocation number for each allocation node, reduce the total quantity of sales orders shipped over the past shipment horizon for the node, and then calculate the available supply for new orders for that allocation node

• If the allocation at a lowest-level node is depleted and shipped orders are still not accommodated fully, then parent-level, topmost-level, and allocation from stealing will be used to consume supply by shipped orders

Limit the Time Horizon of Backlog Management Plans

Long-horizon orders can dramatically increase the number of calculations required to generate a backlog management plan, yet rescheduling them may offer little benefit as supply and demand continue to change. With this update, backlog management sets a default maximum horizon for plans that you can adjust to reduce plan cycle times and enhance opportunities for interactive simulation.

If you previously opted in to the Order Backlog Management feature, then this feature is automatically enabled.

Other Tips & Considerations:

• With this update, planners can set the Planning Horizon in Days parameter up to 366 days if your site hasn't configured a site-level profile option that enables setting the parameter up to 731 days.
  • If your site wants to increase the limit up to 731 days, then you must configure the MSC_BM_PLAN_HORIZON_DAYS site-level profile option and set the ENABLE_MAXIMUM_PLAN_HORIZON_DAYS profile value.
  • If your site needs to configure the MSC_BM_PLAN_HORIZON_DAYS site-level profile option to increase the limit for the Planning Horizon in Days parameter, you can do so before you uptake this feature. Refer to the readiness training for this feature for more details.

• For plans in use prior to this update, planners need to know the following:
  • If prior to this update planners were using a value greater than 366 for the Planning Horizon in Days parameter, and your site has not configured the MSC_BM_PLAN_HORIZON_DAYS site-level profile option, then the Planning Horizon in Days parameter value must be changed before running a plan or the first run of the plan will change it automatically, and the resulting data will be for only 366 days.
  • If prior to this update planners were using a value greater than 366 for the Planning Horizon in Days parameter and up to 731, and your site has configured the MSC_BM_PLAN_HORIZON_DAYS site-level profile option, then the Planning Horizon in Days parameter value will be retained.
  • If prior to this update planners were using a value greater than 731 for the Planning Horizon in Days parameter, and your site has configured the MSC_BM_PLAN_HORIZON_DAYS site-level profile option, then the Planning Horizon in Days parameter value must be changed before running a plan or the first run of the plan will change it automatically to 731 days, and the resulting data will be for only 731 days.

• If your planners set the Planning Horizon in Days parameter to more than 366 days, then your supply chain data shouldn't be very large.

• The default for the Planning Horizon in Days parameter is 90 for new implementations.

Respect Reservations in Supply Allocation

Inventory reservations set aside supply for specific demands. As a result, they can affect the balance of supply that’s available for allocation. To avoid overpromising allocated supply, backlog management allocation rules now account for inventory reservations when calculating the quantity consumed and quantity remaining in each node of the allocation scheme.

Example of sales orders reserved to a supply for an item under allocation:

Sales Orders Reserved to Supply for an Item Under Allocation Showing Reservation is Respected (Supply Chain Planning > Backlog Management > Backlog Analysis)

Prevent overpromising allocated supply by including inventory reservations in the calculation of allocated quantities.

Tips And Considerations

• For a reservation to be feasible, total reserved sales order quantity for a week shouldn't be greater than total weekly supply for that week

• If the Allocated supply measure at a node is less than reserved sales order quantity, then Oracle Backlog Management will try to consume from the parents level, then topmost level, then allocation through stealing, and then previous bucket allocation
  • Even after consuming all possible allocation, if supply is still short then Oracle Backlog Management will overconsume from the lowest level node so the Available supply measure will be negative
  • A reserved sales order will always be planned on or before the scheduled date

• If the Allocated supply measure at a node is less than reserved sales order quantity and no other allocation is available, then the node’s available supply will be negative

• It's possible that the Available supply measure at an allocation node is negative, and when this happens, a planner should manually adjust the allocation either in the UI or through REST, and then run the simulation plan and save the planning results

• When the Available supply measure at an allocation node is negative in the Allocation Workbench, a planner can also see error text after doing a drill to from the Consumed supply measure value to the Backlog Analysis UI 
  • The error text will be “Consumed supply exceeds allocated supply”

• You shouldn't release the sales orders automatically until you resolve all issues related to negative available supply

  • Manage Allocation Data (MSC_MANAGE_ALLOCATION_DATA_PRIV)
  • Create Backlog Plan (MSC_CREATE_BACKLOG_PLAN_PRIV)

Prevent Rescheduling of Order Lines Submitted for Picking

Prior to this update, Oracle Fusion Cloud Backlog Management considered all unshipped orders eligible for rescheduling. However, it’s not usually feasible to reschedule order lines after they’ve been dispatched to a warehouse for shipping. With this update, Oracle Backlog Management filters order lines already interfaced with a warehouse management system, along with their associated supply, to avoid generating infeasible rescheduled dates for them and to prevent other demands from being displaced by them.

You can use the new Order Line Status column available on the Backlog Analysis UI to review which orders were already picked. Orders that were already picked aren't released. A new error message is used in the Error Text column when there's an order that can't be released because it's already picked.

Improve the accuracy of backlog management plans by filtering orders that have already entered delivery execution during rescheduling.

Tips And Considerations

When you opt in to use this feature, you must opt in to the feature named: Order Backlog Management. Opting in to the Order Backlog Management feature also enables the feature described here. If you previously opted in to the Order Backlog Management feature, then this feature is automatically enabled.

Additional Tips and Considerations:

• In addition to viewing the new Order Line Status column in the results table on the Backlog Analysis UI, you can search based on the value for the Order Line Status field on the query panel, but order line status isn't available in the Manage Conditions section.

• The Release Status field for orders that aren't eligible for release will be blank.

• Orders in the Picked status are planned to account for the supply, but these orders aren't released.

• Shipped orders won't be shown in on the Backlog Analysis UI when you search.

• The possible values for the Order Line Status field are Picked, Backordered, and Normal. The Shipped isn't available in the list of value choices.

• You can access the Order Line Status attribute via REST.

• You can't use the Order Line Status attribute for demand priority rules.

Run a Backlog Management Plan for a Group of Organizations

Previously you could run a backlog management plan for all organizations at once or for a single organization at a time. With this update, you can also specify a group of organizations to include in a plan run. A group can include all the facilities in a global region, a business unit, a line of business, or any other set of locations that should be rescheduled together. Similarly you can also release planning results for multiple organizations.

The multiple organizations selection is available when you run the Start Backlog Planning and Release Backlog Planning Results scheduled processes.

If you previously opted in to the Order Backlog Management feature, then this feature is automatically enabled.

• Additional Tips and Considerations:
  • In addition to selecting one or all organizations, you can now select two or more organizations in the Start Backlog Planning scheduled process.
  • In addition to selecting one or all organizations, you can now select two or more organizations in the Release Backlog Planning Results scheduled process.
  • The selected organizations only specify that the sales orders at the selected organizations will be planned, it doesn't specify the supply chain or supply path that will be considered for capable to promise.
  • There is no change in the behavior for selection of Item, Category, or Customer. In other words,  you can select one or all.
  • You can run a Backlog Management plan for multiple organizations via REST by using a comma separated list for organization codes.
  • You can run Release Backlog Planning Results for multiple organizations via REST by using a comma separated list for organization code.
  • It's recommended that you select multiple organizations from the same source system or instance code for the Start Backlog Planning or Release Backlog Planning Results scheduled processes.
  • In addition to releasing the recommendations for the selected organizations, when you run the Release Backlog Planning Results process, it will also release any orders that a planner marked for release using the Backlog Analysis UI, even if the orders aren't part of the organizations selected for release.
  • For existing customers who are using the Start Backlog Planning and Release Backlog Planning Results scheduled processes - after this update:
    • The existing selection for the Organization filter won’t be valid and needs to be reset. Other filters will continue to work as is.
    • If existing scheduled processes are using the Organization parameter as part of the selection criteria, then you need to change the value for the parameter. To make this one-time change to the value for the parameter, select the Organizations using the multiselect field for the Organization parameter for this process.

Plan Counter Sales Orders

In industries such as wholesale distribution, some orders are fulfilled immediately from stock on hand, also known as counter sales. To improve the overall user experience associated with capturing transactions related to this fulfillment mode, Oracle Fusion Order Management Cloud now provides the ability to fulfill these orders without requiring picking and shipping transactions.

Oracle Fusion Cloud Demand Management and Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Planning now support this fulfillment mode by collecting counter sales orders. Oracle Demand Management uses the history of all sales orders, including counter sales orders, to generate a forecast. Oracle Supply Planning not only ensures that there’s enough stock on hand to fulfill forecasted counter sales orders, but also ensures that the net demand calculations for the current time period account for this fulfillment mode.

Example of how you can consume forecast with fulfilled or closed counter sales orders in a Supply Plan which starts in order management and then is planned according in supply planning:
