Demand Management

Demand Management

Configure Color by Measure to Display in Tiles

Use the Configure Color by Measure to Display in Graph feature for tiles too. Previously this feature was available only for graphs.

Refresh Collected Measure Data

Update the subset of measures in a plan that are collected by file-based data import without having to run the plan. Use this capability to track sales history, preserve the current statistical forecast, and streamline measure data loading from other Oracle sources, such as Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Performance Management.

Plan Counter Sales Orders

Plan for sales orders referred to as counter sales orders. Inventory to fulfill counter sales orders isn't picked and shipped, but instead is handed over immediately to the end customer from on-hand stock. You can now collect history of counter sales orders, generate forecasts for counter sales, and consume the forecasts with counter sales orders in the current time period while calculating net demand.

Replenishment Planning

Maintain optimum inventory levels at each node of your supply chain to meet customer service targets at the lowest inventory cost. Use automated processes to maintain inventory policy parameters and improve customer service levels. These automated processes dynamically update the inventory to keep on hand and reduce costs by calculating the economic order quantity for replenishment when appropriate.

After you opt in to the feature named Replenishment Planning, you can use the features described in this section.

Rebalance Inventory for Weekly or Monthly Plans

Rebalance inventory for weekly or monthly replenishment plans. Previously, inventory rebalancing was only available for daily plans.

Run Plans Within an Upper Limit on the Number of Items, Locations, and Time Buckets

Run a daily, weekly, or monthly replenishment plan with a flexible upper limit defined by the number of items, locations, and time buckets. Previously, replenishment plans were limited to 31 daily buckets, 26 weekly buckets, or 12 monthly buckets.

Use Combined Weekly and Monthly Demand Management Plans As Demand Schedules

Use a demand management plan that combines manufacturing, Gregorian, and fiscal calendars as a demand schedule for replenishment planning. Demand management plans now support combinations of manufacturing, Gregorian, and fiscal calendars and apportion the forecast automatically without explicit modeling of the plan at the day level.

Use Downstream Replenishment Plans As Demand Schedules

Drive upstream operations based on replenishment orders generated at the point of consumption. This approach ensures seamless end-to-end planning of your entire supply chain.

Override the Deliver-To Location on Planned Orders

Select the appropriate deliver-to location on a planned buy order or planned transfer order when you have multiple locations where a shipment may be received at the receiving inventory organization.

Configure Color by Measure to Display in Tiles

Use the Configure Color by Measure to Display in Graph feature for tiles too. Previously this feature was available only for graphs.
