Supply Chain Orchestration

Supply Chain Orchestration

Improve Supply Tracking for Sales Orders in Your Back-to-Back Flows

Oracle Supply Chain Orchestration no longer closes the supply order when the first shipment happens for a partial shipment in a back-to-back flow. The supply order remains open until shipping ships all of the supply or until Oracle Order Management cancels the request. Orchestration will also continue to orchestrate changes in demand and supply as long as the supply order remains open.

Supply Planning

Supply Planning

Search for Measure-Based Exceptions Using Additional Criteria

Search for measure-based exceptions using filters on the planner and item category attributes.

Hover on a Value in a Pivot Table to Display Measure Description

Display the description for a measure by hovering on the value in a planning pivot table to ensure correct understanding of the intent of the measure before making any changes to the plan.

Use Supplier Sites Codes That Are Up to 240 Characters

Collect and view supplier site codes that contain up to 240 characters. This new limit is a significant increase from the prior limit.

Plan Supplies for Forecasts That Are Based on Hybrid Calendars

Plan supply for a forecast generated in Oracle Demand Management using hybrid calendars.

View Historical Plan Measures

View archived supply planning measures, such as the planned orders for a particular time period including the data for time buckets in the past.

Configure the Display of Your Build Plan with Additional Criteria

Tailor the display of your build plan to best meet your needs. You can now configure the number of time buckets to show, and also display any measure that conforms to the required dimensions for display in a build plan, including user-defined measures. You can also configure reusable rules to display the components, resources, and suppliers that are related to the selected top-level assembly.

Receive Detailed Responses When You Call the Planning Table Data REST Service

Receive responses that provide details regarding the status and cause of errors for specific data rows that weren't accepted when calling a POST operation using the Planning Table Data REST service.

Improve Performance When Refreshing Measure Data Collected at an Aggregate Level

Reduce the amount of time taken to refresh plan data when you’ve collected measure data at an aggregate level. You can now configure the process that disaggregates measure data to run as multiple parallel processes.

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.

Manage User-Defined Text Attributes on Supply and Demand Entities

Manage user-defined text on attributes of supply and demand entities, such as entering a note to buyer on a planned buy order.

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 features described in this section.

Fill Demand with Supplies Only Within a User-Specified Time Window

Fulfill only the portion of demand that can be met within a specified time window for lateness from the scheduled date. The remaining portion will be unmet.

Reschedule Supply Orders with Component Reservations

Treat a supply order for an item as Not Firm to enable the planning process to flexibly align the supply to demand even if the on-hand supply for the dependent item is reserved to the order.

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.

Manage Schedule Administration Tasks

Manage schedule administration tasks efficiently from within Oracle Production Scheduling.

Offload Resources in the Dispatch List

Extend resource offloading as required within the dispatch list, in addition to the Gantt chart. Also prevent transacting work order operations from being offloaded to ensure that the schedule for the respective work order can get published for execution.

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.

Reschedule Pick-to-Order Items

Review, reschedule, and release updated order lines for pick-to-order models.

Control Rescheduling of Order Lines with User-Defined Statuses

Filter sales orders lines that match user-defined status values for order lines from being released from backlog management plans to prevent rescheduling order lines that have already entered the delivery execution process.

Use Supplier Sites Codes That Are up to 240 Characters

Collect and view supplier site codes that contain up to 240 characters. This new limit is a significant increase from the prior limit.
