Feature Summary

Supply Chain Orchestration

Supply Chain Orchestration

Extend the View Manual Reservations for Your Back-to-Back Sales Orders Feature

Extend the View Manual Reservations for Your Back-to-Back Sales Orders feature so you can view all of the reservations that you create manually in a back-to-back flow. Before this release, you could view manual reservations only for lines that have an Unassigned supply type on the supply order. Now you can view the supply orders, transfer orders, purchase orders, and work orders that fulfill all of your manual reservations even while Oracle Supply Chain Orchestration is still processing that supply. Also, before this release, you couldn't cancel a manual reservation when you cancel the order line. Now you can.

If a manual reservation might cause excess supply, then the Supply Orchestration work area displays a new icon on the supply line. If you hover over it, you'll see the Excess Supply text.

Quickly see what excess supply you have reserved for each sales order in your back-to-back flows.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

• You must manually opt into the View Manual Reservations for Your Back-to-Back Sales Orders feature until update 24A.

• Supply Chain Orchestration doesn't automatically modify a manual reservation for a change in demand that it receives from Oracle Order Management. You must manually modify the reservation.

• The quantity for the work order, purchase request, or transfer order might be different from the reservation's quantity or the quantity on the supply or tracking line because other requests might also use the work order, purchase request, or transfer order.

Access Requirements

The feature is available to any privilege that can create and submit a sales order.

Users who are assigned a configured job role that contains these privileges can access this feature:

• Initiate Order (FOM_CREATE_ORDER_PRIV)
• Submit Order (FOM_SUBMIT_ORDER_PRIV)

Hold Changes from Manufacturing Until Purchase Orders Are Ready in Outside Processing Flows

Use Oracle Supply Chain Orchestration to temporarily hold the changes that you receive from Oracle Manufacturing. Use this feature in your outside processing flow when a work order or an operation undergoes change, but Oracle Purchasing hasn't created the purchase order or is revising it.

Here's how it works:

1. A work order or an operation undergoes a change in your outside processing flow, and then Oracle Manufacturing sends an update request to Supply Chain Orchestration. Manufacturing might send another request each time a work order or operation undergoes change.

2. If Purchasing hasn’t created the purchase order or is revising it, then Supply Chain Orchestration temporarily holds the update request.

3. Purchasing creates or finishes revising the purchase order, and then Supply Chain Orchestration automatically sends the most recent update request that it has received from Oracle Manufacturing to Purchasing.

Increase your processing efficiency and prevent failures that happen when you send an update request to Purchasing. Instead of having Supply Chain Orchestration send every request that it receives from Manufacturing to Purchasing, wait until Purchasing creates or finishes revising the purchase order, then send only the latest request.

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.

Supply Planning

Supply Planning

Specify Rolling Date Ranges to Load Planning Measure Data Using File-Based Data Imports

When you load measure data to Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Planning using the file-based data import (FBDI) process, you may want to purge data that was previously collected before loading the latest data. For example, if you’re loading data for the Bookings History measure named Booked Item by Scheduled Ship Date, the data would typically have changed over the past few days due to changes in scheduled ship dates. Therefore, you probably want to load the data for the latest few weeks while making no changes in other time periods.

To determine what data will be replaced for this type of use case, you can now specify a date range for purging existing collected data in the parameters for the Load Planning Data from Files scheduled process. The date range can be specified as the number of days before and after the current date. Any existing data in the date range will be replaced while leaving the rest of the data intact.

Prior to this enhancement, when you loaded data for a measure using the FBDI process in targeted mode, all the previously loaded data for the measure got purged. In net change FBDI load, previously loaded data doesn't get purged, but gets overwritten if there is a match between the previously loaded and new data in the measure csv file.

Load Planning Data from Files

Time range purge during FBDI load is supported for both the Net Change and Targeted collection type. To purge the previously loaded measure data for a time range relative to today's date, you must first select Yes for the Enable Date Range for Purging Time-Dimensioned Measure parameter, and then specify the purge time range using the Number of Days Before Today and Number of Days After Today parameters. Previously loaded data for all of the time-dimensioned measures specified in the measures .csv files that are included in the uploaded data zip file would get purged for the specified time range. 

For example, let's say you have initially loaded data for the Bookings History: Booked Item by Booked Date measure for the last 2 years and have defined a week planning time level demand plan to generate Bookings Forecast using rolling 2 years of Bookings History. The requirement for every weekly planning cycle is to first purge the previously loaded data for the last 2 weeks (14 days) and load the latest data for the Bookings History: Booked Item by Booked Date measure for the last 2 weeks on every Monday. Let's assume that today's date is Monday, November 20th, 2023, and you have generated a data zip file with a measure csv files containing data for the Bookings History: Booked Item by Booked Date measure for the past 14 days from November 6th, 2023 to November 19th, 2023. For the previously-mentioned measure FBDI data load requirement, you have to select Yes for the Enable Date Range for Purging Time-Dimensioned Measure parameter and specify 14 and 0 for the Number of Days Before Today and Number of Days After Today parameters respectively. The collection type can be set to either Targeted or Incremental.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

• Purge based on specified time range is applicable only for the planning measure data loaded using csv files generated from any of the below listed measure templates.
  • Supply Chain Planning Measures (ScpMeasuresImportTemplate.xlsm)
  • Supply Chain Planning Bookings History (ScpBookingHistoryImportTemplate.xlsm)
  • Supply Chain Planning Shipments History (ScpShipmentHistoryImportTemplate.xlsm)
  • Supply Chain Planning Option Bookings History (ScpOptionBookingHistoryImportTemplate.xlsm)
  • Supply Chain Planning Option Shipments History (ScpOptionShipmentHistoryImportTemplate.xlsm)
  • Supply Chain Planning Forecast Measures (ScpForecastMeasureImportTemplate.xlsm)
  • Supply Chain Causal Factors (ScpCausalFactorsImportTemplate.xlsm)

• The purge data time range determined from the Number of Days Before Today and Number of Days After Today parameters, must align exactly with the time range for which you are populating data for a single or multiple time dimensioned measure in the csv files. If the purge time range is greater than the time range for which you are collecting data, then you would lose the previously collected measure data for the nonmatching time periods. For example, November 1st, 2023, to November 19th, 2023 is determined as the purge data time range based on your parameter inputs, and you are loading data for the measure only from November 6th, 2023, to November 19th, 2023, then you will lose all the previously loaded data for the time periods from November 1st, 2023 to November 5th, 2023.

• The Enable Date Range for Purging Time-Dimensioned Measures parameter is defaulted to No which retains the prior net change and targeted measure data load behavior.

• You can either leave the Number of Days before Today and Number of Days after Today parameters blank or set them to 0 if you want to purge the previously loaded measure data only for the current or today's date.

• Previously loaded measure data doesn't get purged for the specified time range if the Enable Date Range for Purging Time-Dimensioned Measures parameter is set to No.

Access Requirements

There are no new security privileges needed to access this feature. Users who currently have access to the Load Planning Data from Flat Files scheduled process will automatically be able to use this feature.

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

• Perform Order Orchestration and Planning Data Load (MSP_PERFORM_ORDER_ORCHESTRATION_AND_PLANNING_DATA_LOAD_PRIV)

• Run Plan with Snapshot (MSC_RUN_PLAN_WITH_SNAPSHOT_PRIV)
  • This privilege is needed to run Create Trees for Dimensions scheduled process which is launched as part of the Load Planning Data from Files scheduled process if the zip file contains data that is used in planning hierarchies, such as organizations, items, customers, and suppliers.
  • If the user running the Load Planning Data from Files scheduled process doesn’t have this privilege, then the Create Trees for Dimensions scheduled processes will fail.

Audit Measure Data Changes Directly from a Table Cell

When you’re in a planning cycle, it might become necessary for you to understand the trail of changes made to planning data, such as forecasts. You can now access the audit trail of changes to measure data directly from a table cell, and view the specific entries related to the displayed value. Note that this capability requires additional information to be captured in the audit trail when measure values are edited, so this additional data is available only for measure value changes made after this update.

Previously you needed to open the Audit Trail of Measure Updates table and search for entries to view a history of changes to measure values. Now, you can launch the audit trail directly from a table cell to view the history of changes to the measure value of the cell. The Measure Updates Audit Trail page displays the value which was updated directly in the selected cell in the table, or the value which was updated in another table on higher or lower aggregation. This page provides a quick and easy way to track audit changes.

Audit Trail for Measure Updates Page

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

• For existing plans, the new audit trail functionality will be available after the plan is run.

• The Audit Measure Data Changes Directly from a Table Cell feature captures updates starting from 23D. All updates done in earlier releases are still available in the previously existing Audit Trail of Measure Updates table.

• Audit trail for measure updates can be viewed for one editable cell at a time on all measures types in a table.

• Regarding the Audit Trail for Measure Updates page, Last Updated Date field: By default you can view the last 60 days of Audit Trail information. When changing the date, you need to refresh the table by clicking the refresh icon.

Access Requirements

Users who are assigned configured job roles that contain this privilege are able to access this feature:

• MSC_MAINTAIN_PLANNING_TABLES_PRIV

Plan Respecting Calendars Specific to Work Centers

In many manufacturing environments, different areas of the plant may run on different schedules. With this update, Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Management provides the ability to override the manufacturing calendar specified at the plant level with a more specific calendar for a work center. Previously, such situations had to be managed using shift exceptions which often led to increased overhead for data maintenance.

Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Planning honors these calendar specifications for work centers. Plans consider the resource availability hours for tactical supply planning, and work orders are scheduled considering the more detailed specifications for shift start and end.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

This feature is available to users if the corresponding opt in  feature in Oracle Manufacturing is enabled:

• Feature Name: Override the Plant Production Calendar with One or More Date-Effective Work Center Calendars  

• Feature Description: Specify one or more calendars with different date ranges within a work center to override the plant-level production calendar and model variations in shifts and resource capacity and availability. Each work center calendar is effective for a specified date range to facilitate more accurate manufacturing and maintenance work order planning and scheduling while minimizing data maintenance. 

• Feature ID: 16IL2A5

Key Resources

• Watch Plan Respecting Calendars Specific to Work Centers

Access Requirements

Users who are assigned a configured job role that contains these privileges can access this feature:

• Supply Chain Planner (ORA_MSC_SUPPLY_CHAIN_PLANNER_JOB)
• Materials Planner (ORA_MSC_MATERIALS_PLANNER_JOB)

These privileges were available prior to this update.

Respect Maturity Date for On-Hand Lots

In environments like food and beverage manufacturing, products may take some time to mature before being ready to ship to end customers. However, the products can still be shipped from manufacturing plants to downstream distribution centers to avoid using up the holding capacity for inventory at a manufacturing site. With this update, Oracle Supply Planning in the unconstrained planning mode will plan for movements to downstream locations. Additionally, Oracle Supply Planning will create a Demand at Risk Due to Insufficient Maturity Time exception to highlight demands that are at risk of being fulfilled late due to pegged supply that will not mature by demand due date.

For example, in the following case the demand on an end item is on 1/21 in organization M1. This demand is pegged to an on-hand lot in upstream organization M3. This on-hand lot is maturing on 1/25. The supply plan will allow the movement of on-hand lot from organization M3 to M2 to M1, but generate an exception to highlight that demand is at risk.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

• This feature is available only for unconstrained supply plans in this update. 

• The maturity date is considered while satisfying independent demands only. An exception will be raised in cases where maturity date of the pegged inventory lot (or transfer order in-transit or in-receiving supply associated with the lot) is later than the independent demand's due date. 

• Maturity date is considered only for end items while transferring the inventory lot from an upstream organization to a downstream organization. 

Access Requirements

Users who are assigned a configured job role that contains these privileges can access this feature:    

• View Demands and Supplies (MSC_VIEW_DEMANDS_AND_SUPPLIES_PRIV)
• Monitor Supply Planning Work Area (MSC_MONITOR_SUPPLY_PLANNING_WORK_AREA_PRIV)
• Exceptions view (MSC_MANAGE_PLANNING_EXCEPTIONS_PRIV)
• Demand fulfillment view (MSC_MANAGE_DEMAND_FULFILLMENT_PRIV)

These privileges was available prior to this update.

Plan Components and Resources for Nonnettable Work Orders

You may have various types of work orders on your shop floor that consume capacity and material required for your forward supply chain, but the output of these work orders isn’t to be used for satisfying demand. For example, you may be creating a nonnettable work order to have supply to honor requests for sample products.

With this update, Oracle Supply Planning will collect and plan the material and resource requirements for these work orders.

For example, you can now use the Subinventory Netting option in the Organizations and Schedules tab of the Edit Plan Options page to control the nettable status of the work order supplies.

For such nonnettable work orders, the work order supply won't be considered as a valid supply but the components and resources of that work order will be planned based on the technical parameter, such as IgnoreSubinvOnWODemResReq.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

• This feature is supported for unconstrained supply plans.

• Drilling from the Resource Requirements page to the Supplies and Demand page will open a blank page for a nonnettable work order. 

Access Requirements

There's no change to existing privileges needed to take advantage of this feature.

Display Labels for Time Periods in Analytics

When you analyze plan data at aggregate levels on the time dimension, it’s convenient to view the name of the time level value, such as a quarter name, rather than the calendar date representing the first day of the time period. With this update, you can configure the label for the time period that’s displayed to enable more intuitive plan analysis.

Configure Month and Quarter Name Display in Configure Planning Analytics

To configure this feature, go to the Configure Planning Analytics page and select your choice for the  Member Identifier to Display column in the Level and Attributes page of the desired calendar as shown in the preceding screenshot. Choose either Name or Start Date for the Time level member. 

After this selection is complete, you'll see Month and Quarter level members displayed in the chosen member identifier.

Display of Time dimension level name in planning data table

Steps to Enable

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

Access Requirements

No additional privileges are required to access this feature

Specify Multiple Measure Catalogs for Export of Data from a Single Plan

You may have situations in a planning cycle where you want a different subset of data to be exported from Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Planning at various points in time. For example, in a given plan you may want to export the demand-related measures early in the planning cycle and supply-related measures later in the cycle.

You can now specify multiple measure catalogs applicable for export of data from a plan. When you’re ready to export the data from a plan, you can select the measure catalog containing the measures to be exported. This choice expands your flexibility to extract only a specific set of measures which can save processing time.

Export Plan Data menu option

The Export Plan Data option in the Actions menu initiates a dialog that enables users to specify a measure catalog to be used as the reference catalog for export. All measures in the specified catalog will be exported.

Export Measure Catalog

Select the desired measure catalog that you'd like to export the plan data for. The measures in the specified catalog need to be part of the plan's measure catalog.

Steps to Enable

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

Access Requirements

Users who are assigned configured job roles that contain this privilege are able to access this feature:

• Extract Planning Data (MSC_EXTRACT_PLANNING_DATA_PRIV)

Plan Respecting Resource Availability on Nonworking Days

In a situation such as a demand spike for a particular product, you might decide to add capacity by running production lines on a day deemed as nonworking on the plant calendar.

With this update, the supply planning processes recognize the resource availability hours on nonworking days which enables you more flexibility to add capacity and increase the accuracy of planning calculations.

This feature is supported for plans in the constrained and unconstrained mode in these work areas:

• Supply Planning
• Demand and Supply Planning

This feature supports all source types: Fusion, EBS, External.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

Users in Oracle Manufacturing must schedule work orders with respect to the work center calendar.

The resource requirements are bucketed using the plan option Supply Planning Calendar, but they are planned based on the work center calendar.

Key Resources

• Watch Plan Respecting Resource Availability on Nonworking Days

Access Requirements

Users who are assigned a configured job role that contains these privileges can access this feature:

• Supply Chain Planner (ORA_MSC_SUPPLY_CHAIN_PLANNER_JOB)
• Materials Planner (ORA_MSC_MATERIALS_PLANNER_JOB)

These privileges were available prior to this update.

Use an Aggregate Production Plan for Interactive Analysis of Critical Material and Resource Requirements

If you’re a planner who’s part of a centralized planning function, you may want to simulate various supply and demand scenarios interactively from a viewpoint of critical material and resource availability at a manufacturing plant. You may use these scenarios to ensure the feasibility of your master production schedule.

With this update, a new Production Plans UI page is available that takes advantage of the aggregate bill of resources for an item that defines the critical materials and resources needed to interactively recalculate the plan when there are changes. The starting point for this UI page is a tactical supply plan. As part of your analysis, you can manually ensure that the changes you make to the plan use up all the component on-hand and on-order inventory in situations where storage of this inventory isn’t possible while also ensuring that you don’t overload critical resources.

You can quickly and interactively plan without the need for any type of batch processes to recalculate the full scope or segments of your plan. After the plan analysis is complete, you can publish your changed production plan to the tactical supply plan.

You can create production plans that integrate with a Supply Plan and focus on a subset of plan organizations and near-term weekly time buckets. Production plans reference segments that group manufactured end items sharing critical components and resources loaded in bills of resources.

Navigation: Tasks > Manage Production Plans

When you open a production plan, it retrieves measure data from the Supply Plan for the selected segment of assembly items. The multilevel bills of resources for those assembly items are used to retrieve additional data from the supply plan and calculate the start-state requirements. These calculations consider both the Lead Time Offset in Days attribute in the bills of resources and working days for organization-specific calendars, if defined. As you adjust the production plan for finished goods, multilevel, net requirements are recalculated. This enables you to quickly review both component use-up and resource requirements.

Production Plan Analysis

You can publish the production plan after reviewing it with key stakeholders. For example, you can download and share the production plan as a spreadsheet. The publish process generates a payload containing the adjusted planned orders for the finished goods in the selected segment. You can specify the time range to publish. The time range is a continuous range from the first bucket to the selected period. The published plan segment is now ready to accept in the supply plan.

Published Production Plans

From the supply plan, you can receive published plan segments. The Receive Production Plan action opens the Published Plans page. You can select a published plan segment and accept it. This submits a scheduled process that runs in the background to load the published payload and firm planned orders for the finished goods segment in the supply plan. When accepted, you rerun the supply plan with the Do not refresh with current data option.

Navigation: Actions > Receive Production Plan

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

• Segments must be defined to group assembly items that share critical components and resources before creating production plans. The segment group containing these segments must be selected in the dimension catalog used by the supply plans connected to production plans.

• Bills of resources must be defined for assembly items to generate requirements for critical components and resources. There is a new template for the Create Bills of Resources scheduled process named Production Plan Analysis that can be used for this purpose.

• Production plans use weekly time buckets and require supply plans that use manufacturing calendars. Supply plans that plan at the manufacturing period level only can't be used.

Key Resources

• Refer to the release readiness training for the Analyze a Plan by Segment feature (22C) for more information on defining segment groups.

• Refer to the Scheduled Processes for SCM guide for more information on the Create Bills of Resources scheduled process.

Access Requirements

Users who are assigned a configured job role that contains these privileges can access this feature:

• Manage Production Plans (MSC_MANAGE_PRODUCTION_PLANS_PRIV)

• Receive Production Plans (MSC_RECEIVE_PRODUCTION_PLANS_PRIV)

Gain Additional Insights on Historical Lead Times

The planning advisor for lead time insights enables you to quickly understand where lead time assumptions for supplier lead times deviate from actual lead times. With this update, improvements have been made so that you can more easily identify deviations and act on them. Key changes:

• You can now specify exclusion criteria in the filters used for the overview page. For example, you may want to exclude item-supplier combinations where the variance percentages are between -15% and +15% so that you’re seeing only the items with variances that you deem are significant.

• Summary statistics shown as part of the Planning Advisor UI, such as the number of items with lead time variances, now use the same filter conditions that are used on the overview page.

• You can now copy the recommended lead time to the adjusted lead time with a single click.

• You can now export the insights table data to excel as a comma separated value (CSV) file.

Exclude Variances Filters

In the example configuration in the preceding illustration, all lead-time variances between -80% and 10% will be excluded from the insights results. This range helps the planner focus on the variances that are of significance to the analysis.

Planning Advisor - Filtered Alerts

In the preceding illustration, the planning advisor alerts are filtered by the set variance filters, thereby bringing attention to the significant insight alerts

Steps to Enable

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

Access Requirements

Access to this feature is through the following privileges:

• MSC_MANAGE_LEAD_TIME_INSIGHTS_PRIV
• MSC_GENERATE_LEAD_TIME_INSIGHTS_PRIV

Enable Planners to Release Planned Orders from the Same Plan at the Same Time

In environments where several planners may be working on the same plan, it’s possible that multiple planners might release planned orders for execution. With this update, Oracle Supply Planning will process these requests in parallel, instead of serially, to reduce planning cycle times.

Each planner's release plan request is processed immediately for the orders marked for release by that planner if the Released only by user plan option is selected. If the Released only by user plan option isn't selected, then the release plan requests for all planners will be processed sequentially.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

• This feature is supported for release of new planned orders and reschedule and cancellation of all existing orders.

Access Requirements

Users who are assigned a configured job role that contains these privilege can access this feature:

• Release Planning Recommendations (MSC_RELEASE_PLANNING_RECOMMENDATIONS_PRIV)

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.

Plan Considering Manufacturing and Supplier Capacity Constraints as Inviolable Constraints

In a variety of industries, there’s a class of resources for which it’s impossible to add either manufacturing or supplier capacity in the short or medium term. An example is a manufacturing environment where there’s large capital equipment, such as industrial robots, so it isn’t possible to add additional units and expand capacity. In this situation, the expected results of a planning system is to delay demand until the date when capacity becomes available. Oracle Supply Planning can now plan for such situations by delaying demand when demand exceeds supply. In addition, you can now model a hybrid environment where some resources have hard capacity constraints, but other resources, such as labor, have soft constraints for which Supply Planning will overload the resource.

This capability, used in conjunction with the ability to have flexible demand prioritization rules, enables you to plan effectively in environments with capacity constraints that can’t be violated. (See feature: Specify Demand Prioritization Rules)

In update 23D, the Plan Considering Manufacturing and Supplier Capacity Constraints as Inviolable Constraints feature is on controlled availability and is available to only customers who were provided a promotion code to access it. To inquire about a promotion code for this feature, contact your Oracle account representative.

With this Plan Considering Manufacturing and Supplier Capacity Constraints as Inviolable Constraints feature, you can perform the following:

• Respect lead time and resource and supplier capacity constraints in a constraint-based plan.
  • Evaluate and recommend alternate and substitutes while considering resource and supplier capacity constraints.

• Respect capacity constraints either for both bottleneck resources and suppliers or only for bottleneck resources or suppliers.
  • Overload resources that aren't bottleneck resources.

• Respect capacity constraints for critical resources and suppliers and overload noncritical resources and suppliers.

Tips And Considerations

If you want to use the Plan Considering Manufacturing and Supplier Capacity Constraints as Inviolable Constraints feature, you must::

• Opt in to its parent feature: Constraint-Based Planning. If you’ve already opted in to this parent feature, then you don’t have to opt in again.

• You must also provide the promotion code you were provided and enable the Plan Considering Manufacturing and Supplier Capacity Constraints as Inviolable Constraints opt in feature

Additional Tips and Considerations:

• Enable the Enforce resource capacity constraints plan option in the Constraints and Decision Rules subtab within the Supply tab of plan options to enforce manufacturing resource capacity constraints.

• Enable the Enforce supplier capacity constraints plan option in the Constraints and Decision Rules subtab within the Supply tab of plan options to enforce supplier capacity constraints.

• You can enable either enforce resource capacity constraints or enforce supplier capacity constraints, or you can enforce both, in the same constraint-based plan.

• Enable the Critical Item-Suppliers and Resources for Applying Capacity Constraints in the Constraints and Decision Rules subtab within the Supply tab of plan options to enforce capacity constraints for critical manufacturing resources and item-suppliers.
  • You must enable either Enforce resource capacity constraints or Enforce supplier capacity constraints, or both, to enable Critical Item-Suppliers and Resources for Applying Capacity Constraints plan options.
  • You can enable only bottleneck resource as a critical resource.

• Constraint-based plans overload and violate capacity constraints for resources and supplier for firm supplies.

• You can enable Enforce resource capacity constraints, Enforce supplier capacity constraint, and Critical Item-Suppliers and Resources for Applying Capacity Constraints for constraint-based plans for supply plans and demand and supply plans.

• The Resources (ScpResourcesImportTemplate.xlsm) and Approved Supplier List (ScpApprovedSupplierListImportTemplate.xlsm) file-base data import (FBDI) templates have been updated to collect critical flag for manufacturing resource and suppliers from external source systems.

• Manufacturing resource and supplier can be set as critical in simulation set for SCM Cloud and external source.

• Constraint-based plans enforce capacity constraints for manufacturing resource and suppliers respecting demand priority calculated with flexible demand prioritization rules assigned to plan options.

• Constraint-based plans enforce capacity constraints for manufacturing resources when resource availability is defined on non working days of organization manufacturing calendar or using work center specific calendar.

• You can run constraint-based plans enforcing manufacturing resource and supplier capacity constraints and perform interactive analysis with aggregate production plans.

Access Requirements

Users who are assigned a configured job role that contains these privilege can access this feature:

• Monitor Supply Planning Work Area (MSC_MONITOR_SUPPLY_PLANNING_WORK_AREA_PRIV)
• Monitor Demand and Supply Planning Work Area (MSC_MONITOR_DEMAND_AND_SUPPLY_PLANNING_WORK_AREA_PRIV)

These privileges were available prior to this update.

Specify Demand Prioritization Rules

You may be in a situation where there is a supply constraint so you’re forced to make decisions on which demands to satisfy on-time versus fulfill late or partially. These decisions usually take the form of a rule describing your prioritization scheme for end demands. For example, one customer or a class of customers grouped using a construct such as demand class are higher priority compared to others, so their demands need to have priority over a constrained material or capacity.

With this update, you can create demand prioritization rules and assign them to a plan. Oracle Supply Planning will evaluate demands in increasing order of priority based on these rules, thus enabling automated decision making when encountering supply issues.

Constraint-based plans calculate demand priority based on the demand priority rule assigned to the plan option. You can also override demand priority for end demands, such as sales orders and forecasts, and rerun plans to recalculate demand priority and respect material or capacity constraints.

With this update you can also perform mass update to override demand priority for all sales order lines of a sales order in a constraint-based plan using criteria-based edits..

Example of how you can create demand priority rules with same order attribute, like Order Type, with different order types selected in sort order across multiple ranks to calculate demand priority in a constraint-based plan:

Example of how you can associate demand priority rule to a constraint-based plan:

Example of how a constraint-based plan has calculated demand priority for end demands, like sales orders and forecasts, in plan based on the demand priority rule assigned to the plan:

Example of how you can edit demands to override demand priority in a constraint-based plan either based on search or a criteria:

Example of how you can have criteria-based edits for all sales order lines of a sales order in a constraint-based plan to recalculate demand priority and respect material and capacity constraints:

Tips And Considerations

• If you want to use the Specify Demand Prioritization Rules feature, then you must opt in to its parent feature: Constraint-Based Planning. If you’ve already opted in to this parent feature, then you don’t have to opt in again.

• You can create demand priority rules using the Manage Demand Priority Rules task in the Supply Planning or Demand and Supply Planning work area.
  • The Manage Demand Priority Rules task will be available when privilege Edit Demand Priority Rules (MSC_EDIT_DEMAND_PRIORITY_RULES_PRIV) is assigned to a job role.

• You assign demand priority rules to constrained supply plan or demand and supply plan in Demand Priority Rule plan option in the General Subtab of the Supply tab in plan option.

• You can provide up to two decimal precision points to override demand priority for an end demand.

• The planning process respects demand priority for end demands to honor resource and supplier capacity constraints in a constraint-based supply plan.

• Criteria-based edits for sales order to override demand priority submits a schedule process Update Orders in a Plan to update all the sales orders lines of a sales order for which over ride demand priority is provided in Supplier and Demands view.
  • The Update Orders in a Plan schedule process can be submitted for criteria-based edits only when privilege Run Plan with Snapshot (MSC_RUN_PLAN_WITH_SNAPSHOT_PRIV) is assigned to a job role.

• For end demands which have override demand priority populated by user edits with search based edits or by criteria-based edits, you must rerun your plan with the Do not refresh with current data run plan option to recalculate demand priority by planning process.

Access Requirements

Users who are assigned a configured job role that contains these privilege can access this feature:

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.

Plan Respecting Calendars Specific to Work Centers

In many manufacturing environments, different areas of the plant may run on different schedules. With this update, Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Management provides the ability to override the manufacturing calendar specified at the plant level with a more specific calendar for the work center. Previously, such situations had to be managed using shift exceptions which often led to increased overhead for data maintenance.

Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Planning honors these calendar specifications for work centers. Plans consider the resource availability hours for tactical supply planning, and work orders are scheduled considering the more detailed specifications for shift start and end.

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.

Configure Display Labels for Gantt Chart Tasks and Resources

With this update, you can configure a display label that’s used in the Gantt chart task bar to inform the user of the items that are involved in an operation. You can ensure this label complements the information already being displayed on a work order and operation. In addition, you can choose to display resource names instead of resource codes for resources.

Use new schedule view settings, specified in the schedule options, to configure the display labels for work order operations and resources.

Visualize Resource Units in Gantt Chart

Prior to this update, schedule visualization in the Gantt chart for pooled resources was limited to the display of total resource units available and aggregate resource units used over time. With this update, you can visualize individual work order operations scheduled on the pooled resources.

This capability facilitates schedule analysis and manual scheduling because you can now also show pegging links to operations scheduled on pooled resources.

Use the new Display Resource Units in Gantt Chart resource parameter to configure a pooled resource to also show individual work order operations scheduled instead of showing only the aggregate resource usage levels, which is the default. You maintain this parameter in scheduling organizations.

The new Display Resource Units in Gantt Chart resource parameter

After you expand a pooled resource in the Gantt chart, you can see, select, and manually schedule individual work order operations.

Expand the pooled resource to see individual work order operations

Work order operations are assigned to pooled resources in an capacity-feasible manner, given that the resource is capacity constrained. The assignment of operations to an individual child row is only for visualization in the Gantt chart and facilitates schedule analysis and adjustment, but it isn't persisted across repair solves or scheduling cycles. A single work order operation may consume more than one such resource unit, so the individual rows underneath a pooled resource don't correspond to individual resource units or instances.

• Edit Production Schedule (MSC_EDIT_PRODUCTION_SCHEDULE_PRIV)

This privilege was available prior to this update.

Use Single-Stage Manual Scheduling

Prior to this update, repairing a schedule would reschedule the complete work order routing. This complete rescheduling could cause disruptions in upstream and downstream stages if these stages were resource constrained.

You now have the capability to perform single-stage manual scheduling that provides you the option to control the extent to which the schedule repair process influences the schedule. You can reschedule the complete work order routing or only those operations that were changed during manual scheduling and connected operations that must be rescheduled to retain proper routing precedence.

Set the desired repair behavior via a new advanced schedule option.

Specify the repair behavior in schedule options

Multistage repair always reschedules the complete work orders that were modified in the previous manual scheduling actions and will minimize the overall work order routing makespan, possibly resulting in upstream or downstream schedule disruptions, such as due to operation overlaps. On the other hand, single-stage repair only reschedules those work order operations that were explicitly modified during manual scheduling and those that must be rescheduled to retain proper starts-after-end precedence relationships between all work order operations, thus minimizing unwanted schedule disruptions in other stages.

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.

Split Order Lines to Reduce Delay During Rescheduling

You can now direct Oracle Backlog Management to split order lines into separately shipped component lines to reduce delays during rescheduling. A multiway split may be generated if enough supply is currently available across more than two organizations. However, Backlog Management will generate only a single split for a date further in the future. The first fulfillment will occur after the minimum split quantity is available, and then the rest will be scheduled for the date when the full quantity is available.

With this update, you'll see the following behavior in Backlog Management:

• The order line can be split only if the Allow Splits attribute on the order line is Yes on the Backlog Analysis page

• The Backlog Analysis page will show a split icon on a line that was split on plan run, and this icon will show for all the lines that were involved in split including the original line that was split and the newly created line due to split.

• With this update, you'll see the following new attributes on the Manage Backlog Planning Rules page:
  • Split order when supply becomes available.
  • Minimum Quantity for Splitting.

• Backlog Management will support split by date and split by organization.

• You'll see the following behavior for split by date:
  • Only a single split is supported for split by date.
  • By default, the split by date is supported only when there is some supply available on the requested date.
  • If you select the Split order when supply becomes available option and specify the Minimum quantity for spitting selection on the Manage Backlog Planning Rule page, then the first split will occur after the minimum split quantity is available.
  • If an order line has the Latest Acceptable Date specified on it, then split by date is supported only when full supply for fulfilling the order line is available by the latest acceptable date.

• You'll see the following behavior for split by organization:
  • Split by organization is supported only when Requested Ship-from Organization is blanked out or cleared before running the backlog plan.
  • Split by organization is supported only when the full supply is available across two or more organizations to plan the order line on the requested date.
  • A multiway split (more than one split) is supported.

• You'll see the following behavior when you release backlog planning results:
  • With this update there is no change in the conditions under which an order line can be released from Backlog Management. For example, the release status should be Release or order line should have been marked for release.
  • The Release process also will update Plan Inputs or collected data, and a new line that was created in Backlog Management due to split will be inserted in Plan Inputs and will show the order line number same as in Backlog Management.
  • The Release process will update Global Order Promising directly only when the following profile option and profile value is created manually. If this profile isn't created then Oracle Fusion Order Management will update GOP:
    • Profile Option Code: MSC_REL_BM_GOP
    • The Profile Value: 1
    • Profile Level: Site

Example and Screenshot of Create Backlog Planning Rule

When you create a new backlog planning rule or update an existing rule you can do following:

• Select the Split order when supply becomes available option
• Enter a value in the Minimum Quantity for Splitting attribute

Example and Screenshot of Split by Date

The following screenshot shows an order line number 1.0 that was split by date, the first line 1.0 is planned on Requested Date or 1/7/2030 and the second line that is newly created due to split (order line number 1.0_1) is planned at a later date or 1/14/2030 when remaining supply is available. Notice that the split icon in the first column shows that the order line was split. Also notice that the Allow Splits attribute for this order line is Yes.

Example and Screenshot of Split by Organization

The below screen shot shows an order line number 1 that was split by organization and two new lines with line number 1_1 and 1_2 were created in Backlog Management as a result of split. All the three lines are planned on Requested Date 1/17/2030 with Planned Ship-from Organization BLM:BLM_M1, BLM:BLM_M2 and BLM:BLM_M3 for the 3 lines 1, 1_1 and 1_2 respectively. Notice the split icon in the first column which means that the order line was split. Also notice that the Allow Splits attribute for this order line is Yes and Requested Ship-from Organization is blank.

Tips And Considerations

If you want to use the Split Order Lines to Reduce Delay During Rescheduling feature, then you must opt in to two features:

• Order Backlog Management. If you’ve already opted in to this parent feature, then you don’t have to opt in again.
• Split Order Lines to Reduce Delay During Rescheduling feature

Additional Tips and Considerations:

• If you create a sales order in Oracle Order Management, then this feature will only split the order line when you set the Allow Partial Shipments of Lines attribute on the order line as Yes.

• If you create a sales order in external order management, then this feature will only split the order line when you set the Allow Splits attribute on the order line as Yes in the sales order FBDI file (ScpSalesOrderImportTemplate.xlsm).

• If Requested Ship-from Organization is blanked out, then you can only split by organization and not by date.

• Both split by Organization and split by date isn't supported for the same order line.

• You can split an order line only once.

• The order line once split is available for split only after it is released (to order management) and collected again from Fusion or external order management as a normal line.

• Backlog Management will provide an order line number for new order lines that are created due to split.

• When you release the order line to Oracle Order Management, it will provide a permanent line number for the newly created line.

• In the subsequent collection run the newly created line and original line will be collected as normal line and will also be available in Plan Inputs.

• The Allow Splits attribute isn't editable in Backlog Management.

• Splits aren't supported for PTO Model and PTO Kit, as well as for items within a shipment or arrival set.

• Backlog Management doesn't support end item substitution.

• For item under allocation, only split by date is supported; split by organization isn't supported.

• If the order lines are rejected by Oracle Order Management during release, then the order line will be available in the scheduled process log file with the reason for its rejection.

Access Requirements

Users who are assigned a configured job role that contains this privilege can access this feature:

• Monitor Backlog Management Work Area (MSC_MONITOR_BACKLOG_MANAGEMENT_WORK_AREA_PRIV)
