Demand Management

Display Only Measures Meeting the Find Condition When Configuring Tables and Graphs

When the number of measures in a plan is more than a few, it’s imperative to efficiently search for the required measures when configuring tables and graphs. Previously, you could search, but all measures continued to be displayed with the measures meeting the find condition highlighted. With this update, only measures meeting the find condition will be listed.

You can use the Find condition to display only a subset of measures in both the Tree view, which displays measures in measure groups, and List view.

Navigation: Create/Configure Table or Graph > Measures Tab > Find

Watch a Demo

Use the find condition to make the measure selection process easier and configure your tables and graphs more efficiently.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

You can search based on part of a word, an entire word, or a number
Capitalization is ignored

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

Maintain Planning Tables (MSC_MAINTAIN_PLANNING_TABLES_PRIV)

Filter Selections in Individual Graphs

When analyzing planning data, such as trends in a graph, it’s convenient to toggle between various filter choices available to display the graph. For example, you might want to filter for product category when analyzing the plan, and then once you are done analyzing one product category, select another product category. You can now configure graphs to specify the filter criteria that will appear in the graph. When the graph is displayed, you can select the level value of interest from a set of values in a filter bar above the graph.

Configure Graph Layout Tab Filters on Graph

Watch a Demo

Configure filter criteria for your graphs to improve your planning productivity with more efficient filtering of graphs.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

Hierarchies available in the Layout tab are those selected on the Hierarchies tab.
- The hierarchies and levels selected on the Hierarchies tab can be selected for the X-Axis, Y-Axis, and Filters options.

Selections in the Filters panel appear as filters above the graph when displayed.
- You can select one or more levels of a hierarchy as filters if that hierarchy is also selected for the X-axis or Y-axis.
- However you can't select all the levels of a hierarchy as filters if that hierarchy is also selected for the X-axis or Y-axis.

Filters for graphs are similar to filters for tables, but they can't be dragged to the graph.
- Levels in the filter above the graph can't be dragged and dropped onto the X-axis or Y-axis.

Copy Measure Data Within a Plan

Copying data from one measure to another is a frequent task in the planning process. In a variety of situations, you might want to copy the entire set of data from one measure to another within the same plan. An example would be to copy a calculated measure to a stored measure not only for functional reasons, but also to reduce the time taken to recalculate and display a table or a graph. With this update, the existing functionality to copy a measure or set of measures from one plan to another has been enhanced to support copying within the same plan.

Watch a Demo

You now have more flexibility to copy measures to meet your functional needs as well as copy calculated measures to stored measures to improve your UI performance.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

When using the Load Measures from Other Plans option to copy within the same plan:

The source and target measures can't be the same measure.

Requirements for the target measure:
- Must be a stored measure
- Can't be a calculated measure
- Can be an editable measure

If the source measure is a shared measure, then it's recommended that the target measure also be a shared measure.

If you want to include historical measure values in the copy, then at least one of the measures selected for the target measures must be a shared measure.
- If all of the target measures are plan-specific, not shared measures, then only the forecast time buckets will be copied.

When copying from a calculated measure to a stored measure to improve performance:

Choose calculated measures where the resulting value doesn't change often:
- Measures that use collected, historical data, such as the Shipments History 1 Year Ago measure, are a good choice.
- Measures that use frequently changing values, such as the Final Shipments Forecast measure, which changes when a new forecast is generated or a planner does a manual override, aren't good choices.

Configure new measures to store calculated values.
- It's recommended that you create the stored measures this way: Duplicate the original, calculated measures, remove the expression, and keep the dimension selections and shared measure setting the same.

Modify existing tables and graphs to use the new stored measures instead of the calculated measures.

Modify existing measure expressions that reference the calculated measures to reference the new stored measures instead.

Modify existing measures that use the calculated measure as the disaggregation basis to use the new stored measure instead.

Schedule the Load Measures from Other Plans scheduled process to copy from the calculated measures to the stored measures.

Role Information

You have a couple options for giving people access to this feature, depending on whether you're assigning them predefined job roles or your own configured job roles.

Users who are assigned these predefined job roles are automatically able to access this feature:

Sales and Operations Planner (ORA_MSC_SALES_AND_OPERATIONS_PLANNER_JOB)
Demand Planner (ORA_MSC_DEMAND_PLANNER_JOB)

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

Load Measure Data from Other Plans (MSC_LOAD_MEASURES_FROM_OTHER_PLANS_PRIV) for access to the Load Measures from Other Plans task

Run Plan with Snapshot (MSC_RUN_PLAN_WITH_SNAPSHOT_PRIV) for access to the Orchestrate Load Measures Processes job in the Scheduled Processes work area

Extract Specific Measure Data from a Planning Table

In some instances, planning data can be a really large set of data that contains thousands of rows and hundreds of columns. You may want to extract only a portion of this data by applying filter criteria. The existing REST API, Planning Table Data, has been enhanced so that you can specify your filter criteria, and avoid having to do additional data manipulation of the extracted data.

You can now seamlessly integrate external applications with Supply Chain Planning Cloud applications by using filters to extract or update just the required set of data in planning tables for a small set of combinations, such as a single product category, or for a specific time period.

Steps to Enable

Review the REST service definition in the REST API guides, available from the Oracle Help Center > your apps service area of interest > REST API. If you're new to Oracle's REST services you may want to begin with the Quick Start section.

Tips And Considerations

The capability to extract or update a subset of the table data limited to specific combinations is enabled using a new attribute in the Planning Table Data REST service called Filter. The filter can be any ad-hoc list of levels and their values that are part of the planning table data set. These levels don't have to be specified in the pivot table as an explicit filter.

Role Information

There are no new security privileges needed to access this enhancement. Users who currently have access to the Planning Tables Data REST API will automatically be able to use this feature.

Access Tasks As Quick Actions on a Home Page

With this update, specific tasks are more immediately available as quick actions on the home page, so you don’t have to first navigate to the supply chain planning work area to take an action.

Several tasks that previously were only accessible using the tasks panel drawer in a supply chain planning work area are now also available from the home page. You can select the Show More link on the home page to display all the available quick actions for which you have access. In addition, there are new work-area-specific preferences that enable you to change your default page layout without having to first launch the work area. These preferences are useful if you have built a content-heavy default page layout that is taking too taking too long to load. In such cases you can change your default page to a different page layout that opens quicker and then edit the content-heavy page layout to make it perform better.

Supply Chain Planning Quick Actions

Access specific tasks more readily by using quick actions made available to you on the home page.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

Quick actions are only visible if you have the applicable privilege to the task. For example, if you have the Manage Planning Sourcing privilege, then you should see the Manage Sourcing Rules task in both the tasks panel drawer in the work area (as was previously available), and as a quick action on the Supply Chain Planning or Order Management (in the case of Global Order Promising) home pages.

When you close out of a task that was initiated from the Supply Chain Planning home page, you'll be returned to the Supply Chain Planning home page.

Update Planning Table Measure Data in Batch Mode

You might have instances when a large volume of data in a plan needs to be updated. You can now use a background scheduled process to update the measures in a plan as you continue to use the plan while the process is running. The Planning Tables Data REST API is now enhanced to support a new update mode to invoke the background process instead of updating the data synchronously.

This new asynchronous approach improves your productivity by enabling you to do other tasks in the application while data updates happen in the background. It simplifies application integration by enabling you to easily update large number of cells even at aggregate levels in an automated manner.

Steps to Enable

Tips And Considerations

The batch mode is enabled using a new attribute in the Planning Table Data REST service called Update Mode. In batch mode the POST operation launches a background scheduled process called Update Planning Table Data and returns with a response which contains the ESS Job ID. You can then track the progress of the update based on this ESS Job ID.

Role Information

There are no new security privileges needed to access this enhancement. Users who currently have access to the Planning Tables Data REST API will automatically be able to use this feature.

Sequence Planning Processes Using Job Sets

Planning processes, such as data collections and plan run, typically occur in sequence, and it’s highly desirable to automate these processes so that they run in sequence one after the other. Oracle Cloud enables the configuration of job sets, a collection of scheduled processes that are run in sequence. With this update, you can configure job sets that contain multiple supply chain planning scheduled processes.

Create job sets for scheduling planning process using the Manage Enterprise Scheduler Job Definitions and Job Sets for Financial, Supply Chain Management, and Related Applications task in the Setup and Maintenance work area. Add sequencing steps, as either serial or parallel, for planning processes in a job set.

Scheduled Processes

Use job sets to enhance your automation of planning technical processes.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

What you can select for the plan type and plans for the Batch Run Plan, Copy Plan, and Release Plan jobs depends on which job role and privileges you have.

When you submit the collection job set from the Scheduled Processes page, the collection template is a required parameter.

You can configure scheduling and notifications options for individual planning processes on the Scheduled Processes page in the Schedule Processes work area.

You can also configure scheduling and notifications options for job sets with multiple planning processes on the Scheduled Processes page in the Schedule Processes work area.

Manage Simulation Changes for Items Using REST Services

Oracle Supply Chain Planning Cloud applications may need to coexist with other enterprise applications that you have. You can use technologies, such as file-based data import (FBDI) or REST API, to enable integrations with other applications. With this update, you can add, change, or delete items in the context of simulation sets using the child resource Items under the REST API resource Simulation Sets using the REST operation POST, PATCH, or DELETE.

You can use this Items REST service to simplify integrations and support standards-based interoperability with your other applications and external systems.

Steps to Enable

Tips And Considerations

You can POST new items to a simulation set by specifying InventoryItemID and OrganizationID, or by specifying ItemName and Organization.

Other Demand Management Changes in This Update

This section includes details about additional changes in this update that can change the way Oracle Demand Management Cloud works.

Maintain Measure Order in Your Tables

Prior to this update, you could use reorder buttons on the Measures tab in the Selector Tool, but sometimes measures got unexpectedly reordered within a table. To eliminate this unexpected reordering, the reorder buttons have been removed from the Measures tab. With this update, you must use the Manage Measures or Reorder Measures actions from View menu on the Layout tab of the Selector Tool, or from the main table toolbar, to change your the order of your measures. Your changes to measure order are part of your layout, and you must save them to make them permanent.

Bug Reference: 30469888

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.

Extract Specific Measure Data from a Planning Table

In some instances, planning data can be a really large set of data that contains thousands of rows and hundreds of columns. You may want to extract or update only a portion of this data by applying filter criteria. The existing REST API, Planning Table Data, has been enhanced so that you can specify your filter criteria and avoid having to do additional data manipulation of the extracted data.

Steps to Enable

Tips And Considerations

Key Resources

Plan Items with Safety Stock Targets Even If There Is No Demand

In instances where there are no forecasts or actual demand yet, but the risk of not fulfilling any intermittent demand is too great, it’s prudent to plan for safety stock. You can now use the safety stock planning method safety stock quantity to plan safety stock for these instances. Oracle Cloud Supply Planning now plans for safety stock even if there is no actual demand, ensuring that there is stock on hand to support any unexpected demand that may occur.

Use this capability to minimize the risk of stockout in the event of unexpected demand:

Improves order fill rate.
Decreases lost sales by satisfying demand on time.

Steps to Enable

In the Product Information Management work area, use the Manage Items task to set the Safety Stock Planning Method item organization attribute to the Safety Stock Quantity value.
In the Supply Planning work area, Safety Stock tab for the plan options for your plan, set the options to one of the following:

Set the Safety Stock Planning Method field to the User-specified values for all items value.
Set the Safety Stock Planning Method field to the Statistical for end items, user-specified for all others value, and select the Apply the override quantities for safety stock option.
Set the Safety Stock Planning Method field to the Statistical safety stock for end items, none for all others value, and select the Apply the override quantities for safety stock option.

In the Supply Planning work area, Scope tab for the plan options for your plan, Supply Planned Item section, select the Include items with only safety stock as demand option.

Tips And Considerations

Consider the following when you plan to include items with safety stock targets even if there is no demand:

The risk of not fulfilling any intermittent demand for items with no forecasts or actual demand versus the cost of carrying additional inventory as safety stock.

Display Only Measures Meeting the Find Condition When Configuring Tables and Graphs

When the number of measures in a plan is more than a few, it’s imperative to efficiently search for the required measures when configuring tables and graphs. Previously, you could search, but all measures continued to be displayed, and the measures meeting the find condition were highlighted. With this update, only measures meeting the find condition will be listed.

You can use the Find condition to display only a subset of measures in both the Tree view, which displays measures in measure groups, and List view.

Other Supply Planning Changes in This Update

This section includes details about additional changes in this update that can change the way Oracle Supply Planning Cloud works.

No Effective Date Conversion During Safety Stock Data Upload

Prior to update 21A, when you uploaded safety stock using file-based data import (FBDI) and the Supply Chain Planning Safety Stock Levels template (ScpSafetyStockLevelImportTemplate.xlsm), the Effective Date column was interpreted as the date based on the source system time zone and was converted to the Oracle Fusion system time zone during upload. After the 21A update, this behavior is modified to assume that the effective date is already in the organization's local time zone. This change makes it consistent with how dates are interpreted for all other supply and demand orders. After the 21A update, if safety stock is collected or uploaded from an external system in net change mode, inconsistencies could result. Therefore, the first time you upload safety stock data after the 21A update, it’s strongly recommended that you upload safety stock data in targeted mode. After the first time you upload safety stock data, you can then proceed with uploading data in either collection mode.

Project-Driven Supply Chain

Project-Driven Supply Chain is an end-to-end, integrated solution across the Oracle Supply Chain Management and Project Management Cloud applications. This solution is designed to support various business processes of manufacturing and asset-intensive companies.

You can use the Project-Driven Supply Chain solution to manage your supply chain processes in the context of projects without creating separate organizations for each project. You can also capture supply chain costs as project expenditures.

After you opt in to the feature named Project-Driven Supply Chain, you can use the feature described in this section.

Analyze End Demands by Project Using Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence

When you are in a project-driven supply chain environment, you may have various business rules regarding how supply is pegged to demand. In a scenario where you allow the plan to share supplies across tasks or projects, you may have situations where the demand for a particular project or task is pegged to excess in another project or task. With this update, you can create an Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI) report that enables you to analyze the project group, project, and task of the end demand and all the available attributes of the supply at any level including the project group, project, and task.

Watch a Demo

You can create an OTBI report to understand how project supplies in the supply chain are pegged to end item demand projects, and to readily verify that the planned project-specific supplies pegged to end item demands have consistent project and task values.

Schedule Internal Sales Orders from External Source Systems

Some ERP systems, such as Oracle E-Business Suite, use internal sales orders to initiate transfers of material within a business. These internal sales orders link to internal requisitions for the supply to be transferred.

Oracle Cloud Supply Chain Management manages transfers differently, using transfer orders that can be scheduled as sales orders within Oracle Cloud Order Management. Previously there was no way to import the internal sales order and internal requisition document types from external systems to global order promising in the Cloud, preventing E-Business Suite users from being able to view and reschedule their internal transfers in the Oracle Cloud solution.

With this update, the collections process is enhanced to import internal sales orders and internal requisitions from external source systems. It maps them to sales order demands and transfer supplies respectively, enabling global order promising to view and reschedule transfers from external systems like other sales orders.

Note: Extraction of internal sales orders is not included in the E-Business Suite to Oracle Cloud Supply Chain Planning sample integration. You must develop your own extracts to populate the sales order comma-separated value file with the additional internal sales order details.

If you use Oracle Cloud Order Management with an external inventory management solution, you can now view and reschedule your internal sales orders along with your customer sales orders in the Cloud, better utilizing available supply to fulfill both types of demand.

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.

Offering: Supply Chain Planning

Use the latest version of the file-based data import (FBDI) template for the Transfer Order entity for populating details in the Fulfill Orchestration Required column.

Use the latest version of the file-based data import (FBDI) template for the Sales Orders entity for populating details in the Demand Source Type, Source Document Number, and Source Document Line Number columns.

Tips And Considerations

Additional Tips & Considerations:

For a transfer order for which an internal sales order exists, you must set the Fulfill Orchestration Required column to Yes in the ScpTransferOrderImportTemplate.xlsm template.
Only orders of type 94, the Transfer Order order type, that are open or not fully shipped, are considered when collecting their corresponding internal sales order.

You must set the Sales Order Demand Source Type to 1, 1 means internal material transfer fulfillment line, in the ScpSalesOrderImportTemplate.xlsm template for the demand to be considered as an internal sales order during data collection.
Establish the link between internal sales order and its corresponding transfer order by providing corresponding values:
- The value of the Transfer Order Header Number in the Transfer Order FBDI template as the value for the Source Document Number column in the Sales Order FBDI template
- The value of the Transfer Order Line Number in the Transfer Order FBDI template as the value for the Source Document Line Number column in the Sales Order FBDI template

Provide matching quantities for the transfer order and its corresponding internal sales order.

Create a Finite Capacity Production Schedule

When work orders with multistage routings and complex interdependencies are processed in a manufacturing facility with finite personnel, resource, or material capacity, the schedule generated is called a finite capacity schedule.

You can automatically generate a finite capacity schedule for your manufacturing facility over a time horizon of your choosing. The solution schedules production activities based on when customer orders are needed, respecting material availability limitations, resource calendars, and outside processing operations while loading work orders on resources.

Create the best possible schedule that meets order due dates while simultaneously minimizing changeovers and optimizing resource and labor utilization to maximize your business performance.

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.

Offering: Supply Chain Planning

Tips And Considerations

The best practice in finite capacity scheduling is to focus on key bottleneck resources and have those resources drive scheduling. Then, all work center resources will by default be treated as relaxed, meaning that calendar and capacity constraints won't be enforced, and you'll have to manually activate individual resource constraints. To do so, in the Production Scheduling work area, click Manage Scheduling Organizations> Actions> Resource Parameters. In the Resource Parameters UI, add resources and choose the desired constraint mode for each resource.

A work center resource can be set to one of three constraint modes:

Constrained: Both capacity and availability constraints are respected.

Relaxed for capacity only: Capacity constraints can be violated, meaning that operations can overlap and thus exceed available capacity. However, calendar down times are respected.

Relaxed: Capacity constraint can be violated, and work order operations can also be scheduled on over downtime events, violating availability constraints.

Set Up Production Schedules Using REST Services

Use REST services, Production Scheduling Item Class Attribute Groups, Production Scheduling Manufacturing Attribute Groups, and Production Scheduling Organizations to add, modify, or delete named production schedules. You can also use REST services to get updated shop floor master scheduling information on item parameters, resource groups, resource calendars, scheduling attributes, and changeover rules.

Use these REST services to import production schedules and most current master scheduling information from other applications and external systems into Oracle Cloud Production Scheduling.

Steps to Enable

These REST services are delivered to support the Product Scheduling feature, which requires opt-in. You must opt-in to the Production Scheduling feature in the Supply Chain Planning offering to successfully perform the REST operation described here.

Tips And Considerations

Organization-specific data, common to all production schedules for an organization, is contained in the Production Scheduling Organizations REST service. Within a Production Scheduling Organization REST you can access various child objects, like attributes and attribute values, attribute-based changeover rules, resource parameters; you can also accomplish all tasks pertaining to a scheduling organization, like adding, deleting, and refreshing organizations.

Manage a Named Schedule Using a REST Service

Use REST service, Production Scheduling Plans, to launch a named production schedule within Oracle Cloud Production Scheduling. You can modify resource calendars for availability and adding overtime, modify start times of work order operations, and offload work order operations to alternate resources when primary resources are overloaded. This REST services also automates the release of production schedules to Oracle Cloud Manufacturing for execution.

Use this REST service to launch and publish a named production schedule after suitably modifying scheduling parameters and constraints to reflect current shop floor conditions.

Steps to Enable

This REST service is delivered to support the Production Scheduling feature, which requires opt-in. You must opt-in to the Production Scheduling feature in the Supply Chain Planning offering to successfully perform the REST operation described here.

Tips And Considerations

All tasks related to a production schedule are contained in a single REST service, the Production Scheduling Plans REST service. Using this REST service you can access many child objects, like calendar events, changeover rules, demands, and items; you can also accomplish all tasks pertaining to a schedule, like creating, deleting, refreshing, solving, and releasing a schedule.

Copy Measure Data Within a Plan

You now have more flexibility to copy measures to meet your functional needs as well as copy calculated measures to stored measures to improve your UI performance.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

When using the Load Measures from Other Plans option to copy within the same plan:

The source and target measures can't be the same measure.

Requirements for the target measure:
- Must be a stored measure
- Can't be a calculated measure
- Can be an editable measure

If the source measure is a shared measure, then it's recommended that the target measure also be a shared measure.

If you want to include historical measure values in the copy, then at least one of the measures selected for the target measures must be a shared measure.
- If all of the target measures are plan-specific, not shared measures, then only the forecast time buckets will be copied.

When copying from a calculated measure to a stored measure to improve performance:

Choose calculated measures where the resulting value doesn't change often:
- Measures that use collected, historical data, such as the Shipments History 1 Year Ago measure, are a good choice.
- Measures that use frequently changing values, such as the Final Shipments Forecast measure, which changes when a new forecast is generated or a planner does a manual override, aren't good choices.

Configure new measures to store calculated values.
- It's recommended that you create the stored measures this way: Duplicate the original, calculated measures, remove the expression, and keep the dimension selections and shared measure setting the same.

Modify existing tables and graphs to use the new stored measures instead of the calculated measures.

Modify existing measure expressions that reference the calculated measures to reference the new stored measures instead.

Modify existing measures that use the calculated measure as the disaggregation basis to use the new stored measure instead.

Schedule the Load Measures from Other Plans scheduled process to copy from the calculated measures to the stored measures.

Display Only Measures Meeting the Find Condition When Configuring Tables and Graphs

When the number of measures in a plan is more than a few, it’s imperative to efficiently search for the required measures when configuring tables and graphs. Previously, you could search, but all measures continued to be displayed, and the measures meeting the find condition were highlighted. With this update, only measures meeting the find condition will be listed.

You can use the Find condition to display only a subset of measures in both the Tree view, which displays measures in measure groups, and List view.

Navigation: Create/Configure Table or Graph > Measures Tab > Find

Use the find condition to make the measure selection process easier and configure your tables and graphs more efficiently.

Steps to Enable

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