Feature Summary

Supply Planning

Supply Planning

View Calendar Details from the Supplies and Demand Page

When planners analyze a plan, it’s important for them to have insight into how the various dates were generated considering various lead times and calendar constraints. With this update, the new View Calendar Details UI is available. You can access the UI from the Supplies and Demands UI to review a Gantt chart with the schedule details for the order.

You can review this Gantt chart to readily gain insight into order scheduling details and the various constraints evaluated to generate the dates of a supply. For example, you want to analyze how the suggested ship date and suggested dock date for a planned buy order was generated. You can quickly glance at the chart and understand the transit lead time and the calendar that were used to generate the shipment date from the supplier and the calendar that was used to generate the suggested dock date.

To use this feature, you first select a single supply that isn't an on hand supply, and then choose the View Calendar Details action from the Actions menu. A dialog box is displayed showing the attributes that factored into determining the calendars used and in the calculation of the various suggested dates. The Gantt section gives you a visualization of the nonworking days associated with the calendar used in calculating each suggested date, as well as the duration of the preprocessing, processing and postprocessing lead times associated with the related item. Seeing this information plotted in context with the suggested dates give you a level of insight that wasn't previously available.

Calculate User-Defined Planning Exceptions On Demand

Planning exceptions can result due to plan generation through the plan run process or data changes to a plan made by a planner. Previously, you could only get visibility to planning exceptions by running a plan. With this update, you can now run the new Calculate Measure Based Exception scheduled process on demand to get timely visibility to planning exceptions that use any user adjustments without having to run a full refresh of the plan. The process will evaluate the conditions specified in your user-defined exception criteria and generate exceptions when they’re encountered.

You can use the Scheduled Processes page in the Scheduled Processes work area to provide the process details for the Calculate Measure Based Exception process and start the process.

You can also start the process from:

• The Manage Plans page
• The page-level plan actions menu for plans

Watch a Demo.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

Take these points into consideration when using this feature:

• The Calculate Measure Based Exception process and Plan Run process are incompatible. 

• If the Exception Set parameter is left blank in the Calculate Measure Based Exception process, then it will use the exception set associated with the plan.

• The Calculate Measure Based Exception process will recalculate only the exceptions included in the exception set parameter. Any other exceptions in the plan won't be deleted or updated.

• The Calculate Measure Based Exception process doesn't recalculate predefined order based exceptions.

Key Resources

• Watch Calculate User-Defined Planning Exceptions On Demand Readiness Training

Role And Privileges

• No new job roles or privileges are delivered with this feature.
• The process is accessible with the existing privilege Run Plan with Snapshot. (MSC_RUN_PLAN_WITH_SNAPSHOT_PRIV)

Review Sales Order Line Number

As a planner, it’s desirable to view sales order demand in a planning UI that enables easy comparison with what is in the execution system. Previously, sales order demand was displayed using the fulfillment line number from Oracle Order Management. This display approach required additional navigation to correlate the data to the actual sales order line in Order Management. With this update, you can now directly view the sales order line number in planning UIs and seamlessly correlate the sales order demand in Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Planning with the sales order line numbers in Order Management.

Screenshot of Line Numbers as They Appear in Supply Planning

For example, the preceding example shows the order line number in the same format as it would appear in the order management application, thereby making it easy to reference when working between the two applications.

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.

  • MSC_VIEW_DEMANDS_AND_SUPPLIES_PRIV

Calculate Financial Metrics Using a Price List

In sales and operations planning processes, as well as in tactical supply planning processes, revenue and related financial metrics need to be as close to reality as possible. Previously, the price used for revenue and financial metric calculations was what was specified as an item attribute. With this update, sales and operation planning and supply planning processes use the price lists specified in your plan options for a more desirable, forward-looking calculation for revenue and financial metrics.

Example of how you can include a price list to consider price list details of an item as selling price in Oracle Supply Planning:

Example of an item with selling price computed from price lists associated to a plan in Oracle Supply Planning:

Example of plan revenue computed using item selling price from price lists associated to a plan in Oracle Supply Planning:

Example of how you can include a price list to consider price list details of an item as selling price in Oracle Sales and Operations Planning:

Example of how a sales and operations plan displays time phased selling price and computed average selling price for an item:

Watch a Demo.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

• Item List Price price list details are included in deriving average selling price of an item in supply plan and sales and operations plan.

• A price list other than Item List Price can be selected as the primary price list and also included in deriving selling price of an item for calculation of financial metrics of a plan.

• Plans consider price list details of an item in price list that are valid on or before the horizon start date of the plan for deriving selling price of an item.

• Sales and operations plans derive time varying selling price for an item that has price list details in a price list set as primary.

• Latest collected currency conversion rates are referred to by the plan to convert price list details to organization currency for deriving selling price of an item

Plan Work Orders in Pending Approval Status

In Oracle Fusion Cloud Manufacturing, you can enforce the generation of an electronic record required for capture of electronic signatures for regulated industries when a work order status is changed to Released. When in this state, the new or updated work order is kept in a pending approval status. This status means that no changes to quantity or schedule can be made, but the supply is still considered as available for planning purposes unlike other states such as on hold. Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Planning will respect as available supply work orders that come from Oracle Manufacturing with electronic approvals required. The work order in Oracle Manufacturing is locked from updates to the dates or quantities.

With this update, Oracle Supply Planning will also collect work orders in the Pending Approval status and consider the work orders in this status as a supply.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

• The work orders in Pending Approval status will be planned as a regular nonfirm work orders (unless the work order is already firm.)

• Because work orders in Pending Approval status will remain locked in Oracle Manufacturing for all updates and transactions, Oracle Manufacturing won’t process any update or cancel recommendation from Supply Planning for these work orders. An applicable error message will be provided if any recommendation wasn’t processed.

Key Resources

• Watch Enhancements to Support Work Order Changes Readiness Training

Role And Privileges

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)

Respect Work Orders That are Manually Scheduled

For a variety of business reasons, you may want to fix the schedule for a work order in Oracle Manufacturing so that the planning and scheduling processes don’t reschedule it. If you set the new Scheduling Method attribute on a work order in Oracle Manufacturing to User or external scheduling, then the firm option on the work order header is automatically selected so that the work order is handled accordingly by supply planning and production scheduling processes.

Oracle Supply Planning honors the constraints specified on work orders. If the scheduling method on a work order is the User or external scheduling method, then Oracle Manufacturing will have selected the firm option by default. Supply Planning doesn't change the work order start or completion dates or operation or resource start or completion dates that was set by a user while manually scheduling the work order.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

If you select the Scheduling Method attribute on a work order in Oracle Manufacturing to User or external scheduling, then the firm option is selected by default. Supply Planning doesn't reschedule a firmed work order. However, if you manually deselect the firm option in Oracle Manufacturing or in Supply Planning, then the work order can be rescheduled in supply planning and will follow the default scheduling logic.

Role And Privileges

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)

Extract and Upload Data from External Systems with Improved Performance

A large volume of data resident in your supply chain execution systems may be required in Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Planning for effective planning. It’s imperative that this data is loaded in the most efficient manner so that the data is available for running the planning processes with the minimum of delay. With this update, the process to load data from external systems using the Load Interface File for Import scheduled process has been streamlined with an optional setup to sequentially load data into the interface tables based on predefined logical grouping of entities expected to have large volumes of data. If you have a large volume of data for entities, such as shipment history, this feature enables a more optimized usage of computing resources during the load process and can lead to improved performance.

If you're extracting data from Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), the extraction process has additional parameters to split the extracted data into multiple files when the data file exceeds a certain size for better overall performance as well.

Steps to Enable

Steps you must take to enable sequential processing of Supply Chain Planning Cloud file-based data import (FBDI) files with predefined grouping for improved performance while using the Load Interface File for Import scheduled process:

1. Navigate to Setup and Maintenance and open task Manage Standard Lookups
2. Create a standard lookup with lookup type as FUN_FBDI_LOOKUP and select Financials Common Module for the Module field
3. Add the lookup code as ALLOW_ORDERED_PARALLEL with meaning as 135

Example of how you can set up the standard lookup type and lookup code in Manage Standard Lookups for enabling sequential processing of Oracle Supply Chain Planning Cloud FBDI large files with a predefined logical grouping for improved performance while using Load Interface File for Import scheduled process:

Steps to enable splitting of extracted files for an entity from E-Business Suite:

1. Navigate to System Administrator responsibility in E-Business Suite
2. Navigate to task Profile and subtask System
3. Set value for profile MSC: Threshold Size (MB) for SCP Cloud CSV Files
4. Save

Tips And Considerations

• If you haven't configured the lookup type FUN_FBDI_LOOKUP and lookup code ALLOW_ORDERED_PARALLEL,  then the Load Interface File for Import scheduled process loads data for Supply Chain Planning Cloud with existing parallel processing logic.

• You must set a minimum value of 20MB for the profile MSC: Threshold Size (MB) for SCP Cloud CSV Files in E-Business suite to split extracted files for an entity into multiple files

Link to External Systems with Context

When you’re analyzing data in Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Planning, you might need to understand additional aspects of the displayed information, and some of the details may not be directly in Oracle Supply Chain Planning. For some details you may need to refer to other systems, such as Oracle Fusion Cloud Analytics Warehouse. With this update, you can configure links to drill to external systems using the context of the data to gain a 360-degree understanding of your data to aid in your decision making.

For example, you’re viewing historical shipments and notice a significant spike in one month for a particular product and customer. You can configure a link to an external system for additional information about the historical shipments using industry standards to pass the product, customer, and date range.

Create or edit links to external systems using the application name defined in the Setup and Maintenance work area and context parameters.

Configure linking parameters to pass the context for the link to the external system.

Watch a Demo.

Steps to Enable

To make an external system available for linking, you must first define it in the Setup and Maintenance work area:

1. Navigator > My Enterprise > Setup and Maintenance.
2. Select Manage Setup Content from Tasks.
3. Select Manage Integration for Additional Applications from Topology Definition.
4. Select Create Application Integration in Manage Integration of Additional Applications:
   • Application Name must start with SCP_EXT_LINK_ for the application to be available for linking.
   • Full URL should be the base portion of the URL to the external system including the host and, if applicable, the port. The context to be passed will be append to this.
   • Partner Name is for reference only.
5. Apply, then Save and Close.

Tips And Considerations

• The external page will be opened, as specified per the link configuration and contextual parameters, in a new browser tab each time the link is invoked.

• The planner invoking the link must have the required security for the external system for the page to be opened.

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 feature described in this section.

Release Planned Supplies from the Attribute-Based Transfer Recommendations Page

Reducing inventory holding costs can be a tough challenge considering the dominant objective in attribute-based planning is to hold enough supply to support demand striped by your configured attributes. In prior updates, Oracle Supply Planning provided the decision support capabilities to change the attributes values for supplies if feasible. In this update, the capability has been enhanced so you can streamline the management of supplies striped by configured attributes in Supply Planning. Now, in addition to reviewing recommendations to transfer, you can also execute transfers on the Attribute-Based Transfer Recommendations page.

Perform these steps in the Supply Planning work area to release attribute-based transfer recommendations:

1. Create an unconstrained supply plan or demand and supply plan
2. Assign a planning-attribute-based netting rule to the plan
3. Select planning attributes or project measure context for the Measure Context plan option
4. Run the plan
5. Navigate to the Attribute-Based Transfer Recommendations page
6. Review and release plan recommendations to source system

Release Planned Supplies for Projects and Tasks from the Attribute-Based Transfer Recommendations Page

Reducing inventory holding costs in a project driven supply chain environment is a tough challenge considering the dominant objective is to hold enough supply to support project due dates. In prior updates, Oracle Supply Planning provided the decision support capabilities to reallocate supplies from a project or task with excess to one with a shortage. In this update, the capability has been enhanced to enable you to streamline the management of project supplies in Oracle Supply Planning. Now, in addition to reviewing recommendations to transfer, you can also execute transfers on the Attribute-Based Transfer Recommendations page.

Perform these steps in the Supply Planning work area to release attribute-based transfer recommendations:

1. Create an unconstrained supply plan or demand and supply plan
2. Assign a planning-attribute-based netting rule to the plan
3. Select planning attributes or project measure context for the Measure Context plan option
4. Run the plan
5. Navigate to the Attribute-Based Transfer Recommendations page
6. Review and release plan recommendations to source system

Example of how you can release recommended transfers for orders for planning attributes, such as project and task from Attribute-Based Transfer Recommendations page in Oracle Supply planning:

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.

Secure Access to Production Scheduling by Organization

You may have multiple inventory organizations within your enterprise that perform scheduling using Oracle Production Scheduling. The data access for the production schedule is now restricted to only the users who have access to the respective inventory organization. With this update, schedule data can’t be accessed or changed without proper authorization.

A Production Scheduling user can now see and access production schedules and the underlying data only for those organizations that the user has access to.

In the Setup and Maintenance work area, use the Manage Data Access for Users task to assign security context and security context values as needed. For example:

Manage Data Access in Setup and Maintenance

For each manufacturing-enabled organization a Production Scheduling user will have access to, add the Manufacturing plant security context with the applicable organization for the security context value.  For maintenance organizations, which aren't enabled for manufacturing, use Inventory organization for the security context.

Plan Work Orders in Pending Approval Status

In Oracle Fusion Cloud Manufacturing, you can enforce the generation of an electronic record required for capture of electronic signatures for regulated industries when a work order status is changed to Released. When in this state, the new or updated work order is kept in a pending approval status. This status means that no changes to quantity or schedule can be made, but the supply is still considered as available for planning purposes unlike other states such as on hold. Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Planning will respect as available supply work orders that come from Oracle Manufacturing with electronic approvals required. The work order in Oracle Manufacturing is locked from updates to the dates or quantities.

Work orders in the pending approval status will be considered in a production schedule, and therefore will consume capacity and components for an accurate representation of shop floor constraints. While a work order remains in this status in Oracle Manufacturing, it won't be updated at time of schedule release.

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.

Respect Work Orders That are Manually Scheduled

For a variety of business reasons, you may want to fix the schedule for a work order in Oracle Manufacturing so that the planning and scheduling processes don’t reschedule it. If you set the new Scheduling Method attribute on a work order in Oracle Manufacturing to User or external scheduling, then the firm option on the work order header is automatically selected so that the work order is handled accordingly by supply planning and production scheduling processes.

Oracle Production Scheduling will treat a work order with scheduling method set as User or external scheduling in the same manner as other firm work orders, as long as the work order's firm option is selected.

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 then release the updated orders to order management systems for execution.

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

Filter Groups of Rescheduled Order Lines and Release Them in Parallel

Enterprises often distribute responsibility for demand prioritization across a group of users. Each user in the group may have responsibility for the order lines for a group of customers or channel partners, an organization or region, or a product line. These users can reschedule their demands independently due to dedicated supply allocations, organization-specific sourcing, or differences in resources, components, and materials.

With this update, you can enhance the speed and scale of rescheduling by selecting and releasing groups of order lines in parallel. Users can now release their rescheduled lines through scheduled jobs in parallel, rather than waiting for all the changes to be complete. Not only does parallel execution reduce the cycle time of releasing updates, it also increases the total volume of order releases that can be processed.

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

Tips And Considerations

If you want to use the Filter Groups of Rescheduled Order Lines and Release Them in Parallel feature, then you must opt in to its parent feature: Order Backlog Management. If you’ve already opted in to this parent feature, then you don’t have to opt in again.

Additional Tips and Considerations:

• You can run more than one Release Backlog Planning Results scheduled process in parallel.

• If the same sales order line is in the scope of two or more Release Backlog Planning Results scheduled processes run in parallel, then it will be released only by the first scheduled process. The second scheduled process won't release the same sales order line.

• From the Backlog Analysis page, you can select or highlight the specific sales order line that you've already marked for release, and intend to release, by selecting Release Planning Results available under the table-level Actions menu. In this case, only the selected sales order lines will be released.

• If you want to release all the sales order lines marked for release and available in your search criteria in Backlog Analysis table, then don't select or highlight any line and directly select Release Planning Results under the table-level Actions menu.

• If you want to release all sales order lines marked by you and all other users in different Backlog Analysis UI sessions, then you can select Release Planning Results under the page-level Actions menu.

Respect Postprocessing Lead Time for Make Orders

For a variety of reasons, an item or subassembly may not be available immediately after its manufacturing process is complete. Additional time may be needed to move the completed item to a fulfillment location, perform quality control checks, allow for curing or cooling, or complete paperwork.

Oracle Backlog Management now adds any specified postprocessing lead time when determining the date an item can be shipped or a subassembly can be used to build an end item. Including postprocessing lead time prevents overly optimistic rescheduling of order lines for manufactured items that require postprocessing time.

Review Sales Order Line Number

As a planner, it’s desirable to view sales order demand in a planning UI that enables easy comparison with what is in the execution system. Previously, sales order demand was displayed using the fulfillment line number from Oracle Order Management. This display approach required additional navigation to correlate the data to the actual sales order line in Order Management. With this update, you can now directly view the sales order line number in planning UIs and seamlessly correlate the sales order demand in Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Planning with the sales order line numbers in Order Management.

Extract and Upload Data from External Systems with Improved Performance

A large volume of data resident in your supply chain execution systems may be required in Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Planning for effective planning. It’s imperative that this data is loaded in the most efficient manner so that the data is available for running the planning processes with the minimum of delay. With this update, the process to load data from external systems using the Load Interface File for Import scheduled process has been streamlined with an optional setup to sequentially load data into the interface tables based on predefined logical grouping of entities expected to have large volumes of data. If you have a large volume of data for entities, such as shipment history, this feature enables a more optimized usage of computing resources during the load process and can lead to improved performance.

If you are extracting data from Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), the extraction process has additional parameters to split the extracted data into multiple files when the data file exceeds a certain size for better overall performance as well.
