Supply Chain Supply and Demand Schedules

Oracle Supply Chain Planning employs an advanced planning logic to enable you to systematically and simultaneously generate distribution and material requirements plans across the supply chain in a single planning run. Oracle Supply Chain Planning can also support regional, decentralized planning activity. Owning organizations may be responsible for certain links in the supply chain.

For each organization controlled by the plan, the planning engine loads firm planned orders, supply and demand schedules, and sourcing information. Planned order demand from one organization automatically and immediately appears in the schedules of the supplying organization. The controlling plan can combine the demand from multiple organizations, make rescheduling recommendations, and generate exception messages on their behalf.

The netting process nets supply and demand for all items in your schedules, for all organizations in your plan. In addition to creating and rescheduling planned orders, the netting process assigns sources to the planned orders and generates dependent demand. You can assign multiple sources to an item or category of items, with split percentages, and these assignments can be phased in and out over time.

DRP plans include intransit lead times when creating time-phased demand and create the corresponding demand in the shipping organization.

Demand Schedules

Demand schedules in Supply Chain Planning includes the master demand schedules, and by extension all valid sources of demand. (See: Master Schedule Types for a list of valid sources.)

Supply Schedules

Supply schedules can include MPS/MRP/DRP plans. If you include one of these supply schedules in your supply chain plan, firm planned orders (along with orders for their components) from the supply schedule will be treated as supply in the plan. Material plans generated by the controlling organization can produce net requirements for all organizations controlled by the plan. Distribution plans include distribution requirements for all included items across multiple organizations. Included items can be DRP planned, DRP/MPS planned, or DRP/MRP planned.
