Planned Items This parameter and the Plan Type field in the Supply
Chain Names window, control the items that are planned
in the supply chain plan. An item must satisfy conditions
imposed by both parameters before being included in the
supply chain plan.
Assignment The assignment set that holds the sourcing rules and bills
Set of distribution that define the rules for material flow
within your supply chain.
Material Choose from Operation Start Date or Order Start Date
Scheduling scheduling methods. If you choose Operation Start Date,
Method material is scheduled to arrive at the start of the
operation for which it is required. If you choose Order
Start Date, material is scheduled to arrive at the start of
the order for which it is required. Order State Date is
usually an earlier date than the Operation Start Date and
therefore this selection represents the more conservative
planning logic of the two options.
Demand When ASCP does detailed scheduling, it schedules
Priority Rule demands one by one. The rule specified here dictates the
order in which demands will be considered during
detailed scheduling, and thus which demands will get the
first opportunities to take up available materials and
resource capacities.
End Item If Decision Rules tabbed region > Use End Item
Substitution Substitution is selected, select a substitution set. You can
Set use a set of substitution relationships to be effective for a
given plan by selecting the substitution set as an option
for the plan. This allows you to run simulations of possible
substitutions and evaluate performance indicators given
possible future substitutions.
Overwrite Overwrite planned orders. For further details
Schedule By Set this option to instruct the planning engine to:
- Plan supplies based on sales order line request,
promise, or schedule dates for either ship or arrival
- Consume forecasts based on sales order line request,
promise, or schedule dates. You must provide forecast
dates that match your choice of this plan option; for
example, if you select Promise Ship date for this plan
option, make sure your forecast dates are in terms of
promise ship dates.
Select one of the following sales order line dates:
- Schedule Ship Date
- Schedule Arrival Date
- Request Ship Date
- Request Arrival Date
- Promise Ship Date
- Promise Arrival Date
The default is Schedule Ship Date.
For forecast consumption, the planning engine uses:
Schedule Date: If you select Schedule Ship Date or
Schedule Arrival Date
Request Date: If you select Request Ship Date or
Request Arrival Date
Promise Date: If you select Promise Ship Date or
Promise Arrival Date
Object Description
Global Demand Select the names of Oracle Demand Planning scenarios
Schedules that drive this plan. You can select demand planning
scenarios that do not reference an organization
(organization dimension set to All Organization).
Ship To Select a forecast consumption level for the Oracle
Consumption Demand Planning scenario. The global forecasting
Level process consumes forecast entries that have Ship To
value the same as this plan option.
You can select:
- Customer
- Customer Site
- Zone
- Customer Zone
- Demand Class
- Item
The choices in the list of values changes depending on
the published level of the scenario.
Org An organization which this plan should plan.
Description The name of the organization.
Net WIP Select to consider discrete jobs and other production
orders as supply in the planning demand/supply netting
process.
Net If checked, ASCP generates pegging of on-hand supply
Reservations to sales orders that matches the reservations recorded
in the source transaction system.
Net Purchases Select to consider purchase orders, purchase
requisitions, in-transit shipments and other
nonproduction order scheduled receipts as supply in
the planning demand/supply netting process. This
option covers all scheduled receipts not covered by the
Net WIP option.
Plan Safety Select to consider plan safety stock demand and supply
Stock in the planning demand/supply netting process.
Include Sales Select to invoke forecast consumption within ASCP for
Order the selected organization. Check this if the demand
schedules for the organization are unconsumed
forecasts. Uncheck this if the demand schedules for the
organization are consumed forecasts plus sales orders
in the form of master demand schedules.
Firm Planned Select this check box to indicate that the organization
Orders From can receive data from Production Scheduling to the
Production schedule specified in the Schedule Name field.
Schedule See Feeding a Production Schedule Back into ASCP.
Schedule Name Enter the name of the production schedule. Note that
this production schedule should be referencing this
ASCP plan within its schedule options. In other words,
the schedule name that is entered should reference the
ASCP plan on the Schedule Options page, Scope tab.
See Feeding a Production Schedule Back into ASCP.
Firm Horizon Enter the number of days for which the planned orders
(Days) from the feeding production schedule are considered by
the ASCP plan.
See Feeding a Production Schedule Back into ASCP.
Bill of Resource Select Bill of Resources from the list of values.
Simulation Set Select a Simulation Set from the list of values. A
simulation set is a set of adjustments to the base
availability calendar of a resource, and is defined via
the Oracle Bills of Material Department Resources form.
You can define different simulation sets to model
different availability scenarios (for example, the base
availability calendar reflects 5 day operations;
simulation set 1 reflects working 6 day operations;
simulation set 2 reflects 7 day operations). The
planning engine applies the simulation set to all
resources in the organization.
Oracle Enterprise Asset Management plans
maintenance activity and creates maintenance work
orders which may specify shutdown of equipment
resources. If you are using Oracle Enterprise Asset
Management, you can pass your maintenance
downtimes to the planning engine. To plan for these
shutdowns in Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning,
run the Oracle Enterprise Asset Management Load
Equipment Maintenance Downtime concurrent process.
The process creates a simulation set with the
downtimes recorded as capacity changes for reduced
hours. You can specify the simulation set in the
Organizations tabbed region of the Plan Options
window. When the plan is run, the planning engine uses
this simulation set to calculate the reduction in the
available capacity of resources due to maintenance
downtime. The planning engine plans production
activities for these resources after considering the
reduction in available capacity. You can view the impact
of this change on the resource availability and usage
profiles in the Planner Workbench.
Demand Select the names of demand schedules, forecasts, and
Schedules plans that drive this plan.
Include Targets You can select this option for a distribution plan that
you are using as a demand schedule. Distribution plans
may use target inventory levels and attempt to plan to
meet the target inventory demands. However, when
smoothing their production schedules and resolving
constraints, they may choose to produce some amount
less than required by the target inventory levels. In this
case, distribution planning distributes according to
safety stock inventory levels first and then allocates
the remainder using the target inventory levels.
Ship To Select a forecast consumption level for the local
Consumption forecasts in the demand schedule. The forecast
Level consumption process consumes forecast entries that
have Ship To value the same as this plan option.
You can select:
- Customer
- Customer Site
- Demand Class
- Item-org
Interplant If selected, the planning engine uses only
interorganization orders and demands from
interorganization planned orders. If cleared, the
planning engine uses demands from all planned orders.
Supply Select the name of supply schedules that participate in
Schedules this plan.
Subinventory Opens the Subinventory Netting window.

Enforce Select this plan option to instruct the planning engine
Purchasing to constrain the plan by purchased item lead-times
Lead-time (item attributes or approved supplier list).
Constraints Clear it to instruct the planning engine never to miss a
demand due date because of a purchased item lead-
time.
Minutes Bucket Specify the number of minute buckets in the Days
Size (in Days) bucket type. If the plan start time is not 00:00, the
planning engine schedules the remainder of the first
day in minutes even if the value for plan option Minutes
is 0. For example if you start the plan on 01-Jan 14:00,
the planning engine schedules in minutes from 01-Jan
14:00 to 02-Jan 00:00.
Hours Bucket Specify the number of hours buckets in the Days bucket
Size (in Days) type.
Days Bucket Specify the number of days buckets in the Days bucket
