In Release 12.1.3, Oracle Production Scheduling has added or changed the following features since its last release. For a complete list of new features within Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.3, refer to Document 561580.1, Release Content Document.
| Feature Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Documentation Enhancements | Major documentation updates to account for system changes and enhancements. |
| Maintenance Work Order Scheduling | The scheduling of maintenance resources at a maintenance depot can be quite complex and presents a significant challenge to customers looking to efficiently schedule these resources. Production Scheduling has been enhanced to consider Visits, Milestones, and Work Breakdown Structure to schedule maintenance work orders. |
| Disable multiple release from the same plan for the same order | This enhancement provides the ability for the Production Scheduling application to keep track of work orders which are sent back to source as "Released" and disable subsequent release from the same plan to prevent creating duplicate supply in the ERP system. |
| User-Defined Ideal Sequence |
In many environments, users simply wish to dictate this order of operations to the solver in lieu of having to construct a penalty matrix to influence this. While this is possible to configure using costs, this enhancement allows users to specify the sequence operations should be scheduled in CRO according to attribute (available for CRO resources only). This is an alternate sequencing strategy compared to the current CRO sequencing strategies of Cost or Time. Solver options are enhanced to indicate the Run Sequence as User Defined (by solve stage or in the global solver options). |
| PS Supply Tolerancing |
In some cases, it is acceptable for demands to be shorted by a small margin (e.g. such as a 1% tolerance on a 100,000LB order). The tactical planning system (i.e. ASCP) recognizes this and will create an appropriate statement of supply. When imported into Production Scheduling, the engine did not understand that the tolerancing calculation was performed and it was acceptable to short the demand by the calculated margin - the net result was that PS in some cases recommended additional production. PS uses the routing lot size to recommend new production - in some cases, this could be very large (such as 100,000lbs per run) and completely unnecessary as it is perfectly acceptable to ship 1lb less than order size. Instantiating net new production disrupts other production runs, steals capacity and materials - schedule quality is inevitably diminished. A feature has been added to Production Scheduling to be able to essentially "shut off" any PS created net new production suggestions to avoid these situations - respecting the stated supply / demand balance. |
| Ability to control whether purchase item order multiples are relaxed beyond lead time |
Items marked as "Purchased" in Production Scheduling must be associated with a source of supply (for example, a Supplier) and a corresponding order multiple must be modeled. It is important to note that Production Scheduling is not intended to plan procurement specifically, but to be constrained by lead time only. Beyond lead time, supply for these purchased items is essentially unconstrained - therefore the purchase item multiple is not especially relevant. However, customers do find these order multiples to be useful for various types of modeling approaches. A feature has been added to be able to control whether or not purchase item multiples are respected beyond supplier lead time or not. Keeping these "relaxed" helps solve performance and is generally recommended. |
| Improved Operation Status Logic in OPM integration |
If an OPM Batch Operation has a "firm start" resource but is still in pending state, the PS integration code was previously interpreting this operation as Active when importing into Production Scheduling. In order to address this, VCP collections introduced a new column entitled "operation_status". The OPM system will populate the operation status as Pending, WIP or Closed. The corresponding PS integration code has been modified to read this new status from this new column to set an operation as Open, Active or Closed in Production Scheduling. |
| Advanced Work Order Filtering |
Release 12.1.3 provides new work order filtering capabilities which allows planners to further "slice and dice" data in the various Gantt, Utilization, and Pegging views in a multi-dimensional fashion and filter the content of these views. This feature allows the planner to hone in on specific areas of the schedule only - for example: show me all work orders in from October 25 - November 5th running on Resource (or Group) which have a Firm Start status. The results are previewed in the bottom of the filtering view and planners can drill-down to the Work Order Editor directly from here as well if desired. Advanced Work Order Filter window has been modified to allow for Enterprise Asset Management criteria filtering. |
| Maintenance Exceptions |
In release 12.1.3.6, alerts are now referred to as Exceptions within Production Scheduling. A new Maintenance exception category is available to display Visit Late, Visit Production Start Delay, and Milestone Late exceptions. Like other exceptions, this feature helps identify potential root causes for scheduling issues. You can access the Production Pegging view and display critical path information by right-clicking a Maintenance exception from the Exception grid. |
| Maintenance Key Performance Indicators |
In release 12.1.3.6, the Key Performance Indicators view has been enhanced to provide a new category, Maintenance. This category provides visibility about maintenance specific metrics md provides a new metric, Visit Risk Index. This metric is used to assess the potential risk or impact a visit change can have on your schedule. The Key Performance Indicators windows has also been enhanced to provide streamlined navigation, the ability to apply Advanced Work ORder Filters to Key Performance Indicators view, and the ability to better display and sort comparison criteria. KPI information now appears in bubble help from the Production Scheduling view. |
| Critical Path Visualization |
Production Scheduling displays critical path information, which is the the sequence of activities that must be completed on schedule for the entire Visit to be completed on schedule. This is the longest duration path through the work plan. This enhancement allows you to quickly identify tasks that impact the overall schedule. Two toolbar shortcuts now appear on the toolbar to allow you to display critical path information, the Filter Visit Critical Path and Show Visit Critical Path. The critical path is determined by Production Scheduling by calculating a "slack" time for an operation. Any operations with 0 (zero) slack are on the critical path. Slack Time can be viewed in the Visit Operations properties or also available in the bubble help in the Gantt Views. A red line on the operation indicates the slack, or the amount of time the operation can move before being on the critical path. |
| Reservations |
In release 12.1.3.6, this feature allows pre-pegging of various supply / demand elements prior to scheduling. New tabs have been added to the Work Order Editor to handle and display supply and demand reservations. A new tab, On Hand, has been added to the Item Properties window to track on-hand to sales order reservations only. |
| Outside Processing (OSP) | In release 12.1.3.6, Production Scheduling supports Outside Processing (OSP). When OSP data is available in integration environment, an OSP folder is created in the Supply & Demand Editor to support information. |
| Enterprise Asset Management Integration |
In release 12.1.3.6, This enhancement allows you to import Oracle Enterprise Asset Management (eAM) Maintenance Work Orders into the Production Scheduling cMRO schedule to account for common materials and common resources. This includes EAM Rebuild work orders. Production Scheduling will respect the maintenance schedule and schedule around the EAM work orders. EAM work orders will not be scheduled by Production Scheduling and will continue to be scheduled by the EAM Scheduler. Production Scheduling permits release of EAM work order dates back into EAM to support user driven manual rescheduling. The Work Order Editor has been modified to display a new work order folder to account for this integration enhancements, Enterprise Asset Management. All imported eAM work orders appear under this new folder. Work Order header information has been modified to display specific EAM maintenance work order information. EAM Work Order Operations are highlighted in purple in schedule views, and a resource that is in maintenance is indicated by a solid purple line in the schedule views. A new object, Assets, appears in the Model Workspace to account for eAM assets. Asset attributes properties are also available within Production Scheduling. Note: The EAM maintenance organization must be the same as the CMRO organization and/or Discrete Organization, otherwise simulation sets must be used. Simulation sets only take down the resource and will not import the entire EAM Work Order. Scheduling of EAM work orders must still be accomplished with the EAM scheduler. They will not be scheduled by Production Scheduling. Troubleshooting Tips EAM can have "Parent Child" and "End at Start" relationships across work orders. For Production Scheduling, this translates to:
When manual scheduling, it is possible for a child work order to end after a parent (Starts after Start in PS). This will cause errors on publish. Routings that diverge to parallel operations and then converge (diamond shaped routings) are not supported for EAM. Schedule Sequence Number must be specified to ensure appropriate sequence is respected in Production Scheduling, otherwise precedence constraint violations are possible. In this case, Production Scheduling will move the operations appropriately to respect precedence relationships. EAM work orders should be scheduled by the EAM scheduler since concepts such as counters and meters are not concepts in Production Scheduling. To sequence appropriately the "Schedule Sequence" should be specified. |
| Oracle Complex Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul Integration |
In release 12.1.3.7, to support cMRO, new fields have been added to the Production Schedule Options form. The Scope tab now provides the options Schedule CMRO Work Orders and Import Closed Visit Work Orders. The Parameters tab also includes the option Enforce Horizon Start to set schedules with the defined horizon. For more information, refer to the Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning Implementation and User's Guide Supplement. |
| Display Work Order Descriptions |
In release 12.1.3.7, Production Scheduling can now import and display work order descriptions. To enable this feature, the Global Setting tab in the Options window provides options to set how work order are displayed in the Production Pegging view. For more information, refer to the Oracle Production Scheduling Implementation Guide. |
| Improved Firm Date Handling | In release 12.1.3.7,Production Scheduling now moves firm work orders to respect constraints with the timefence by default. The Global Setting tab in the Options window allow you to override this default using the new Respect Firm Dates in Timefence option. |
| Displaying Graphic Link between Related Work Orders |
In release 12.1.3.7, Production Scheduling provides a new toolbar button, Show Work Order Links, to display task dependencies between related work orders in the Production Pegging view. The link lines and attributes can also be modified from the Production Pegging view using new right-click menu options. For more information, refer to the Oracle Production Scheduling Implementation Guide. |
| Enforce Horizon Start |
In release 12.1.3.7, a new option has been added to the Production Schedule Options form. The Parameters tab also includes the option Enforce Horizon Start to set schedules with the defined horizon. This option, when set from the Production Scheduling Options form, can be viewed from the Availability tab in the resource Properties window. For more information, refer to the Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning Implementation and User's Guide Supplement. |
| Advanced Work Order Filter Window Enhancements | In release 12.1.3.7, numerous changes have been made to the Work Order Advanced Filter window. Three tabs now appear with the window and are used to define filter. These enhancements make the window easier to use and define criteria the pertains to specific work order types. Additional fields have also been added to the window to provide more visibility to Visit information imported from cMRO. |
| Display Work Order Descriptions | In release 12.1.3.7, if an operation description is included in the cMRO environment, then the operation description appears in the operation Notes field on the operation Properties window. |
| Support Alternate Items on Work Orders | In release 12.1.3.7, Production Scheduling supports alternate items imported from cMRO. During integration, the necessary item sets are created and available for display from the operation diagrams within Production Scheduling. Alternate items can be identified using the Planned Item Code and Actual Item Code fields in the Bill of Materials tab of the Work Order Editor window. |
| Support Shifts in the Resource Utilization View |
In release 12.1.3.7, calendars and shift patterns are imported from Oracle E-Business Suite into Production Scheduling during implementation. Shifts are defined through a calendar, and each shift has its own set of start and stop dates and times with relevant exceptions associated to it. The Calendar Editor, calendar Properties window, and the Availability tab of the resource Property window have been updated to display shifts. The Resource Utilization view now display calendars and shift and displays shift utilization reporting. |
| Improvements for Handling Zero Duration, Closed and Active Operations | In release 12.1.3.7, Production Scheduling operation views now display Zero Duration, Closed and Active Operations. The Work Order Editor - Operation tab displays new fields, Actual Start Date and Actual End Date, to support this enhancement. |
| Import Close Work Orders for a Visit |
In release 12.1.3.7, the Scope tab in the Plan Option screen provides options to schedule cMRO work order and import close visit work orders. For more information, refer to Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning Implementation and User's Guide Supplement. |
| Import and Publish Milestone/Stage Earliest Start and Target Completion Date | In release 12.1.3.7, Production Scheduling imports Milestone/Stage information from cMRO and now allows dates to be updated and then sent back to EBS when published. |
| Resource Sequence View | In release 12.1.3.7, a new view, the Resource Sequence View, is now available within Production Scheduling. it can be displayed in conjunction with other views. It allows operation data to be modified and the operation sequence to be modified. |
| Customizing Table Data in View | In release 12.1.3.7, in views where table data appears, you can customize the columns displayed and their order in the view. |
| Attribute Highlighting | In release 12.1.3.7, the Values tab in attribute Properties window allows you to assign colors to attribute values. To display attribute colors in the scenario, the Attribute Highlight Order tab has been added to the scenario Properties window. Use this tab to select attributes to be highlighted and the highlight sequence order. |
| Expand/Collapse Production Pegging View Order Tree | In release 12.1.3.7, the Production Pegging view has enhanced to expand or collapse the order tree at any level. This feature allows you to review your demands and work orders as needed, displaying the tree objects of interest to you. |
| Allow Firm Dates to Violate Earliest Start Date | In release 12.1.3.7, Production Scheduling has added a new option to the General tab of the Solver Options window. Use the Allow Firm Dates to violate Earliest Start Date if work order operations have firm start dates (Firm Start or Firm Range status) and you want to allow operations to be scheduled before the work order Earliest Start Date. |
| Customize Colors | In release 12.1.3.7, Production Scheduling improves the Color window to make it easier to customize the colors used within the application, views and editors. |
| Import Visit Status into Production Scheduling | In release 12.1.3.8. Production Scheduling imports the Visit Status from cMRO. The status of a Visit has very important ramifications in cMRO. A visit in Planning status essentially has all Work Orders in a draft status where changes can be made liberally. Non-Routine stage work orders are also a part of Visits in Planning. Once the Visit is pushed to Production it will be in an "Implemented" or "Partially Implemented" status. Work orders are no longer in draft status and non-routine estimates are replaced by actual non-routine work orders. The Visit Status now appears in the visit Properties window. It also appears in the Maintenance tab of the Work Order Advanced Filter window. |
| Control Item Offloading for Purchased Items | In release 12.1.3.8, Production Scheduling has add a new profile option, MSC: PS Allow WO Purchased Item Offloading, to provide item offloading control for purchased items. MSC: PS Allow WO Purchased Item Offloading has two possible values, No (default setting) and Yes. This feature is added because Production Scheduling allows alternate items on work orders consuming purchased items. This profile globally sets the work order allow offload flag to the appropriate value. The Bill of Material tab allows you to then set the Allow Offloading field to override the default as needed for those purchased items that have alternates. |

| Description |
The scheduling of maintenance resources at a maintenance depot can be quite complex and presents a significant challenge to customers looking to efficiently schedule these resources. Several new constructs have been introduced into PS to allow for this such as:
Scheduling visits must take into consideration numerous constraints such as complex task hierarchy relationships, logical groupings of work, maintenance capacity, calendars, etc. This becomes increasingly difficult when multiple visits are considered simultaneously and have competing priorities. Customers with maintenance scheduling problems have expressed the requirement to be able to be able to schedule visits taking into account:
To support these requirements, Production Scheduling now collects Oracle cMRO maintenance work orders as an option. |

| Description |
In some cases, it is acceptable for demands to be shorted by a small margin (e.g. such as a 1% tolerance on a 100,000LB order). The tactical planning system (i.e. ASCP) recognizes this and will create an appropriate statement of supply. When imported into Production Scheduling, the engine did not understand that the tolerancing calculation was performed and it was acceptable to short the demand by the calculated margin - the net result was that PS in some cases recommended additional production. PS uses the routing lot size to recommend new production - in some cases, this could be very large (such as 100,000lbs per run) and completely unnecessary as it is perfectly acceptable to ship 1lb less than order size. Instantiating net new production disrupts other production runs, steals capacity and materials - schedule quality is inevitably diminished. A feature has been added to Production Scheduling to be able to essentially "shut off" any PS created net new production suggestions to avoid these situations - respecting the stated supply / demand balance. |

| Description |
Items marked as "Purchased" in Production Scheduling must be associated with a source of supply (for example, a Supplier) and a corresponding order multiple must be modeled. It is important to note that Production Scheduling is not intended to plan procurement specifically, but to be constrained by lead time only. Beyond lead time, supply for these purchased items is essentially unconstrained - therefore the purchase item multiple is not especially relevant. However, customers do find these order multiples to be useful for various types of modeling approaches. A feature has been added to be able to control whether or not purchase item multiples are respected beyond supplier lead time or not. Keeping these "relaxed" helps solve performance and is generally recommended. |

| Description |
If an OPM Batch Operation has a "firm start" resource but is still in pending state, the PS integration code was previously interpreting this operation as Active when importing into Production Scheduling. In order to address this, VCP collections introduced a new column entitled "operation_status". The OPM system will populate the operation status as Pending, WIP or Closed. The corresponding PS integration code has been modified to read this new status from this new column to set an operation as Open, Active or Closed in Production Scheduling. |

| Description | This release provides new work order filtering capabilities which allows planners to further "slice and dice" data in the various Gantt, Utilization, and Pegging views in a multi-dimensional fashion and filter the content of these views. This feature allows the planner to hone in on specific areas of the schedule only - for example: show me all work orders in from October 25 - November 5th running on Resource (or Group) which have a Firm Start status. The results are previewed in the bottom of the filtering view and planners can drill-down to the Work Order Editor directly from here as well if desired. | ||||||

Oracle Production Scheduling utilizes Oracle E-Business Suite Diagnostics, a tool to help standardize data gathering and troubleshooting. This tool is delivered within the maintenance pack (product code IZU) and consists of two components:
Note: If no role is assigned using RBAC, and the "Application Diagnostics" responsibility is directly assigned to users (for example, via the System Administrator Users form), then all Diagnostics tabs open for those users. However, in the Diagnose tab, tests do not appear under any application except HTML platform, and users can neither run tests nor configure inputs for any other application.
Complete RBAC setup details for diagnostics are available through My Oracle Support Document 167000.1.
It is highly recommended that following the successful installation of the Release 12.1.3 maintenance pack for Oracle Production Scheduling, the following actions are taken:
After installation, review Document 783319.1, the diagnostic catalog, to identify other helpful tests that you can use for maintaining a healthy environment.
For questions about Oracle E-Business Suite Diagnostics or any issues using this tool, consult My Oracle Support Document 235307.1, which provides a FAQ with the latest answers and discussion.

Oracle Production Scheduling uses the common diagnostics features in Oracle E-Business Suite. This enables users and system administrators to use a centralized set of options to control logging level, as well as output destination. To run diagnostics, use the following profile options:
Setting the log level to Statement produces detail logging of code execution. To reduce the size of the output and make it more manageable, you can use <product short code>% as a module to restrict messages to those coming from Oracle Production Scheduling code.
The preceding profile options can be turned on at the user, function, responsibility, or site level. It is preferable, however, to set profiles at the user level to restrict the overhead they add to the system. If issues are experienced, logging profiles should be set at the user level experiencing the issue. For authorization servlet-related issues, you must set the diagnostics profile at the user level to ANONYMOUS.
To diagnose user interface issues, you can use the filter iby%,fnd.framework%,jbo% and set the diagnostics go-to screen by clicking the Diagnostics Global button. To enable this functionality, you must set the following profile option:
The FND: Diagnostics profile option controls whether the Diagnostics button is rendered. It also controls the display of the About this Page link.
For system issues, such as exceptions, timeouts, or unexpected behavior, you can turn on logging, based on where you are experiencing the issues, as follows:
You can also capture additional information about the system by printing the report from the About this Page link, as well as from the jsp: /OA_HTML/jsp/fnd/fndversion.jsp.
For more information on Logging, see the Oracle Applications System Administrator's Guide Documentation Set and the Oracle Applications Developer's Guide in the Release 12.1.3 Documentation Library.
