Supply Chain Orchestration

Supply Chain Orchestration

Use REST API to Process Supply Request Lines that Pass Validation

Use the Create Supply Request REST API to process supply request lines that pass validation. If your supply request includes more than one supply request line, and if you set the AllowPartialRequestFlag attribute to Y in your REST API payload, then REST API will process the lines that pass validation. It won't process the lines that don't pass validation and mark them in error. If you set AllowPartialRequestFlag to N, and if any line in the supply request doesn't pass validation, then REST API will reject all lines in the request, including the ones that do pass validation. The default value for AllowPartialRequestFlag is N.

Use the Supply Chain Orchestration Work Area to Synchronize Supply Documents

Use the Supply Chain Orchestration work area to synchronize supply documents between Oracle Supply Chain Orchestration and Oracle Procurement. Use this feature in your outside processing flow when Supply Chain Orchestration can't record a purchase requisition or purchase order because of a technical failure.

Use Your Own Group Codes to Manage Purchase Requests in Buyer Planning

Use your own group codes to manage purchase requests in the Buyer Planning work area. You can already use predefined codes such as Buyer, Category, Item, Location, Supplier, and None. This new feature allows the buyer planner to create their own group code, and then use it to organize purchase requests into a group and take advantage of price breaks, order minimums, and so on. Supply Chain Orchestration will send the group code for each purchase request to Oracle Procurement. Procurement will group these purchase requests into purchase requisitions according to the value in the Group Code attribute.

Extend Supply Chain Orchestration's Integration with Inventory Management

Use a service mapping to help meet your specific integration requirements in your transfer order flow.  You can now include a change entity and other attributes when you map attributes between Oracle Supply Chain Orchestration and your inventory management system.

Prevent Duplicate Supply Requests for Back-to-Back Sales Orders

Prevent Oracle Supply Chain Orchestration from creating duplicate requests for supply when there's a problem in communicating the request from Oracle Order Management to Supply Chain Orchestration.

View Manual Reservations for Your Back-to-Back Sales Orders

View the reservations that you create manually in a back-to-back flow. View the supply orders, transfer orders, purchase orders, and work orders that fulfill these reservations even while Supply Chain Orchestration is still processing that supply.

Use High-Volume Order Processing with Supply Chain Orchestration for Configured Items

Use High-Volume Order Processing with Supply Chain Orchestration to orchestrate the supply that you need to fulfill configured items when you have a high volume of sales orders to process.

Demand Management

Demand Management

View Quantities for Open Sales Orders

View quantities for open sales orders by the Item, Organization, Customer Site, Demand Class, and Planning Time Level attributes to obtain a full picture of the performance of forecast to actual demand.

Forecast Using Supersession Relationships

Forecast for the latest revision in a supersession chain by aggregating historical demand from prior revisions.

Apply Cross-Validation Learning to Additional Forecast Models

Apply cross-validation learning to these additional forecast models: Auto Regressive External Inputs, Auto Regressive Integrated External, Causal Winters, Dual Group Multiplicative, and Holt Exponential Smoothing. Cross-validation learning tests out-of-sample subsets of the historical demand to generate a forecast, and then compares each resulting forecast to the remaining portions of historical demand. Now you can apply cross-validation learning to all models used for forecasting nonintermittent demands.

Restrict Access to Specific Plans

Assign either full access or limited access to planners for a specific plan. Planners with limited access have certain actions disabled for the plan, such as running the plan, while other actions are still enabled, such as releasing plan orders

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.

Forecast Using Supersession Relationships

Forecast for the latest revision in a supersession chain by aggregating historical demand from prior revisions.

Restrict Access to Specific Plans

Assign either full access or limited access to planners for a specific plan. Planners with limited access have certain actions disabled for the plan, such as running the plan, while other actions are still enabled, such as releasing plan orders

Honor Decimal Precision for Unit of Measure Conversions

Use the precision defined in the MSC_QUANTITY_DECIMAL_PRECISION profile option for conversions from one unit of measure to another.
