This chapter describes the integration of Oracle iStore with Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning.
Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning is a comprehensive, Internet-based planning solution that decides when and where supplies such as inventory, purchase orders, and work orders should be deployed within an extended supply chain. It performs the supply planning function.
Set up Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning for Global ATP if you want to provide global inventory availability information to your customers. As part of the rules for determining availability, you can provide sourcing rules that encompass orders already placed, open purchase orders, and other availability factors.
For more details, refer to Oracle Advanced Planning and Scheduling Implementation and User's Guide, Oracle Inventory User's Guide, and Oracle Order Management Implementation Manual.
You must also set up Oracle Material Requirements Planning. See Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Oracle Supply Chain Planning User's Guide for more information.
Oracle iStore can provide regular available to promise (ATP) information on inventory items without customization. For more information, see the chapter, Implementing Products.
If you want to enable global ATP for Oracle iStore, you must install Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning and Oracle Material Requirements Planning.
