Cross-Product Enhancements

Link to SCM Application Pages Using Deep Links

In this update, Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud delivers new deep links that provide easy navigation directly to application pages without using the menu structure. You can use these links in a variety of ways, such as in business intelligence reports, notifications, and third-party application pages.

Demand Management

Configure Tables and Graphs by Filtering Across Multiple Hierarchies in the Same Dimension

Apply an AND condition or an OR condition when filtering across multiple hierarchies within the same dimension while configuring tables and graphs.

Configure Tables and Graphs Using Context-Sensitive Member Selection

Filter the members available for selection based on previous selections while configuring tables and graphs. As you make your selections, the list of values available for selection are limited to those that are active based on the selections you already made.

Drill to a Page Layout from a Table or a Graph

Drill down from a planning analytic to a page layout with multiple tables and graphs, rather than just to a single table or graph.

Activate Dynamic Links Between Analytics Automatically

Oracle Supply Chain Planning Cloud now activates the dynamic links for all destination analytics within a layout as soon as you open the layout. You no longer need to manually activate the dynamic link to a table or graph by drilling from the source planning analytic.

Create New Product Combinations Using the Product Launch Process

Use the existing new product introduction process to instantiate the combinations of dimension values in a new product based on existing products without actually copying data.

Extract Collected and Simulation Set Data for Items Using REST Services

Use REST services to extract items from either collected or simulation set data.

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 feature described in this section.

Use Externally-Calculated Safety Stock Targets

Upload the safety stock target of an item location as a static value in quantity units to be used in the computation of inventory policy values.
