This chapter covers the following topics:
The Advanced Planning Command Center (APCC) is designed to be the single repository of all planning data generated by multiple Advanced Planning applications. This planning data is the collection of all planning facts and dimensions. It is organized into several functional groups at an aggregate level so that users can analyze key metrics. This enables the user to quickly identify problem areas in any planning scenario and drill to the cause of the problem.
This diagram illustrates the overall architecture of the Advanced Planning Command Center’s analytical framework:
The analytical framework provides this functionality:
It cleanses the data so that all facts have a common set of conforming dimensions.
It pre-builds aggregates on most of the facts to enable fast and easy reporting.
It extracts, transforms, and loads the facts into the repository.
It archives different versions of each measure for trend comparison.
It combines different facts into composite metrics, or ratios, that are available for users.
The analytical framework delivers the metadata on all the facts, dimensional hierarchies, and the inter-relationships using the Oracle Business Intelligence - Enterprise Edition (OBI-EE) format. This format is saved as an .rpd file. System administrators can use the OBI-EE administration tool, which is not part of this application, to:
View or modify the metadata.
Enhance or customize the facts, calculations, and so on.
Create new facts based on custom data.
Please refer to the most current version of the Oracle Business Intelligence Server Administration Guide for more information on how to use this tool.
Important: Please contact Oracle Support before using the OBI-EE Administrator tool and making any changes to the APCC metadata. Some changes may not be supported during subsequent upgrades.
The analytical framework is designed to answer top business questions such as, “What is the overall impact of a new product launch, by my competitor, on my supply chain?” The analytical framework provides model data from Demand Management and Strategic Network Optimization (SNO) to answer these operational questions in a specific functional area:
Operational Question | Functional Area |
---|---|
Are my inventory levels at the right location, for the right products, within the required levels, and are they stable? | Inventory Analysis |
How efficient is my supply chain in minimizing costs and maximizing profits? | Supply Chain Costs |
How efficient is the utilization of my manufacturing capacity? | Manufacturing Efficiency |
The applications that contribute to the APCC planning facts are:
Advanced Supply Chain Planning (ASCP).
Inventory Optimization (IO).
Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP).
Strategic Network Optimization (SNO).
Demantra Demand Management.
Demantra Real-Time Sales and Operations Planning.
The primary objectives of the APCC application are:
To provide a consolidated view of all planning-related data.
To enable a holistic view of the planning problem.
Not just demand-focused or supply-focused.
To enable an analytical platform to compare all key metrics together such as financial, sales, manufacturing, and so on.
To enable a unified user interface that provides the ability to drill into individual applications for detailed analysis.
To bring together all stakeholders, which enables fast reconciliation of conflicting business priorities.
The key features of the APCC application are:
A single repository of all data across all planning applications.
A unified dimension model that is harmonized for all metrics.
A rich collection of more than 200 metrics and more than 20 dimension hierarchies.
Real-time data aggregation, currency conversions, and calculated KPIs.
Role-specific, prebuilt dashboards that can be customized at the user-level.
Analysis of multiple scenarios in parallel for what-if simulation.
Plan archival, which lets users analyze the trends of key metrics in a plan.
Interactive graphs and pivot tables that can be exported to Microsoft Excel or Adobe Acrobat.
The analytical framework is based on these building blocks:
Roles.
Subject areas.
Dashboards.
Measures or facts.
Dimensions and hierarchies.
Each user role has direct access to one dashboard that is available by default. This dashboard is customized with the appropriate analytical content and the primary measures that the role would want to analyze. From the dashboard, users can navigate to multiple areas based on their needs.
Each page in the dashboard contains a set of metrics that analyze a functional area such as inventory analysis.
Dashboards contain all primary measures from a set of work areas and are specific to a user role. For example, the dashboard for an inventory analyst contains primary measures from work areas such as inventory analysis, supply chain costs, and profitability.
The dashboards can be customized at a user level. For example, a vice president of supply chain can have a dashboard consisting of analytical work areas with different levels of aggregation, while a supply chain analysts’ dashboard can have more detailed data that is needed for detailed analysis.
When logging into the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) application, the user can quickly navigate to one of the two seeded dashboards, using the seeded role responsibility.
This table lists the seeded role or responsibility and the associated dashboard:
Role or Responsibility | Dashboard |
---|---|
Sales and Operations Planning Analyst | Sales and Operations Planning Dashboard |
Supply Chain Analyst | Supply Chain Analyst Dashboard |
The APCC analytical framework uses a set of common conforming dimensions that are related to the relevant facts.
This diagram illustrates the dimension model that is used to drill into primary and secondary measures:
Note: Each fact or measure supports only a subset of these dimensions.
In addition to the standard dimensions, APCC supports the following optional dimensions that are enabled only as needed.
End item
Parent Model (in a Configure to Order environment)
In some cases planners need the ability to analyze components by the specific end item or the model in which they are used. End item and parent model dimensions support this requirement. These are enabled only for Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning (ASCP) Plans and not for other supply plan types, for example then are not enabled for SNO, etc. These are enabled only for 2 supply measures, Order Quantity and Total Supply.
These End Item and Parent Model dimensions enable APCC to analyze a few supply facts of key components or options for Parent Model.
The end item dimension is enabled only for key components that require analysis by the planners using this new dimension.
The key components are identified by a specific category set. All the items that have an item-category assignment in that category set are treated as key components. The name of the category set is set up or defined in the new profile option "MSC: APCC Key Component Category Set". Items that are not critical and do not need this analysis should not have any assignment in this category set.
The following is an example of how to use the category set:
Category Set: INV_ITEMS | Category Set: NEW KC CATEGORY SET |
Category: Category 1
|
Category: Category KC1
|
Category 2
|
In this case, the category set Inv.Items is the general category set used by APCC for all category based reporting and the category set New KC Category Set is for identifying the subset of items that need the End Item dimension enabled. The profiles are set as follows:
MSC: APCC Category Set 1 = Inv.Items
MSC: Key Component Category Set = New KC Category Set
Using this setup,all the items that are not part of the New KC Category Set will not have this new dimension enabled.
The ETL that is necessary to populate this new dimension in the APCC repository is triggered only when the new profile option, MSC: Enable Model & End Item dimensions in APCC, is enabled. If this profile is turned off or is not setup, the necessary ETL is not triggered. The new ETL program is applicable and is triggered only for ASCP plans and Total Supply and Order Quantity facts.
The end item dimension splits the above facts using ASCP's full pegging information by the end item. For example, if there is a Planned Order of 100 on Day1 end pegged to multiple end items, the fact repository contains the appropriate splits. This enables allows users to build a pivot table report of these types.
Below is an example of reports that have been built by using the new End Item dimension:
Org | Item | End Item | Measure | Wk 1 | Wk 2 | Wk 3 |
TST:M1 | CM66321 | AS66313 | Planned Orders | 1000 | 1000 | 1000 |
TST:M1 | AS18947 | Planned Orders | 1000 | 1000 | 500 | |
TST:M1 | AS66312 | Planned Orders | 200 | 100 | 400 | |
TST:M1 | CM66321 (Total) | CM66321 (Total) | CM66321 (Total) | 2200 | 2100 | 1900 |
Org | End Item | Component Item | Planned Orders | Total Supply |
TST:M1 | AS66313 | CM66321 | 1000 | 1000 |
TST:M1 | CM66666 | 1000 | 1000 | |
TST:M1 | CM66111 | 200 | 100 |
In an assemble to order environment, it is important to understand how the supplies of different options are being driven by the different models.
The following setups are required to enable this dimension in APCC.
If the forecast is based on Demantra Demand Management consensus forecast fed into Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning, the publish process from Demantra must be configured appropriately. It should publish only the independent forecasts at the Model level, and any other independent demands at lower levels. It should also publish the Planning percentages for the options. The standard seeded data integration profile does not do this.
The ASCP Plan that is using the forecast as a demand schedule should have the plan option Explode Forecast set to Yes, that is, checked.
All option classes and options should have the forecast control attribute set to "Consume and Derive".
Users can also combine the two dimensions, Parent Model and End Item, and build reports to slice and dice not only the options but also the components under them, in case the options are make items.
This analysis is limited to the immediate parent model. In case of a multi-level model, this feature gives the ability to analyze only by the immediate parent model.
Using a simple structure, an example is shown below:
Top Model
Parent Model
Option Class
Option (Make item)
Key Component
Key Component | Parent Model | Shipments | Planned Orders | Total |
8GB PC2-5300 240-PIN RDIMM RAM | Sun Sparc M4000 | 100,000 | 200,000 | 300,000 |
Sun Sparc M5000 | 30,000 | 10,000 | 40,000 | |
Sun Sparc M8000 | 500,000 | 1.000.000 | 1,500,000 | |
630,000 | 1,210,000 | 1,840,000 |
New Dimensions Profile Options
Two new profile options support the new dimensions:
MSC: APCC Key Component Category Set
Description: The name of the category set that identifies the items (like key components) and their categories that will have new dimensions of End Item and Parent Model enabled in APCC repository.
Site: Can be set at site, responsibility or user level
MSC: Enable Model & End Item dimensions in APCC
Description: Enables or disables the ETL processing required to populate the end item and parent model dimensions in the APCC. When set to ‘Yes’, the ETL is enabled. When set to ‘No’, the ETL is disabled.
Site: Can be set at site, responsibility or user level.
Measures are grouped into functional areas in order to keep them organized.
The functional areas are:
Inventory Analysis.
Overall Plan Health.
Supply Chain Costs and Profitability.
Replenishment Planning.
Demand Satisfaction.
Manufacturing Efficiency.
Sourcing Efficiency.
Forecasting.
Network Design.
Integration with Oracle Rapid Planning

Dashboards are designed for specific user roles. Each role has a predefined, customized dashboard that has the appropriate content and the appropriate dimension levels.
Each dashboard consists of related pages in a tab format. Each page corresponds to a single functional area such as inventory, manufacturing, sourcing, and so on. Each page has several reports. Each report reflects one or more measures with different dimensions that a user can analyze.
In addition to page level filters, some reports have report filters. Examples of report filters are: View, Measure, and so on.
Some reports provide a legend that displays the color used for the measure.
When placing your mouse pointer over a bar or line node, a tool tip appears with the value.
When using a left-mouse click on a linked value or measure, a menu displays all the secondary, drill-down reports that are available. Secondary, drill-down reports provide additional, detailed analysis for the selected measure.
The APCC analytical framework supports archiving planning scenarios and the plans.
A planning scenario is a collection of related plans that constitute a specific business condition.
Archiving scenarios archives all plans within the scenario. Archiving a plan is a snapshot of subset of the plan output that includes summary data, key performance metrics, and so on. Archiving a plan is not a snapshot of the entire plan output.
Each plan can be archived multiple times, resulting in multiple plan versions. A version is a snapshot of that plan at that point in time. It can be used later as a baseline for comparison to a later plan run. This comparison gives the planner an immediate feedback of the health of a plan over time.
Each version is labeled <plan name> - <archived date><sequence number>.
The label for the current version is <plan name> - Current.
The method in which a user invokes the archive option depends on whether it is for a composite scenario or for a specific plan. It also depends on the plan type.
Archiving a complete scenario, and all its associated plans, can be performed from the Scenario page. When a scenario is archived all plans that are associated to that scenario are also archived. This includes Demand Management, ASCP, and IO plans.
ASCP and IO plans can be individually archived from their respective applications. The plan launch program in the Planner workbench has an option called Archive current version of plan summary. The defaulted value of this option is No. If this option has a Yes value before launching the plan, then the system creates an archived version of the current plan output before it runs and generates the plan output. If this option has a No value before launching the plan, then the plan summary is always overwritten with the latest run and the results are always for the current version.
For SNO facts the application has a publish option called Publish to Dashboard (APCC). This option publishes the SNO facts to the APCC repository and automatically creates an archived version of each published plan or scenario.
Archived plans are purged whenever the overall scenario is purged. Also, the Purge Plan process in ASCP and IO purges the plan and all of its archives, or versions, in the APCC repository.
For additional information of planning scenarios, see Understanding Scenario Planning.
Example – Trend Analysis
This example uses a scenario containing a Demantra forecast, or plan, which feeds an ASCP supply plan.
This diagram illustrates the Demantra Plan D1 and the ASCP Plan S1 being archived on multiple days, which enables a user to compare the versions of the plans:
The plans were archived on dates shown in the diagram. Therefore the archived versions that are available in the APCC repository are named:
Demantra Plan | Supply Plan |
---|---|
D1 (Day1)(1) | S1 (Day2)(1) |
D1 (Day2)(2) | S1 (Day4)(2) |
D1 (Day4)(3) | S1 (Day7)(3) |
D1 (Day7)(4) |
These versions are available to the users in the dashboards. They are available for analysis on several what-if simulations depending on the assumptions that were made in each of the plan runs.
For example, the supply chain analyst can select the three S1 versions in the Comparison Plans field, within the Supply Chain Analyst Dashboard, and any version as baseline in the Baseline Plan field. This enables the user to analyze the exceptions, inventory levels, and so on over the different plan runs.
Although there is no limit on the number of versions that a plan can have, it is expected that a periodic maintenance and a purge are performed to eliminate unnecessary volume in the repository tables. This provides maximum performance from the framework.
The analytical framework and the related dashboards use profiles. These profiles must be set up so that the repository has the right facts and dimensions.
This table lists the profile options and provides information about each option:
Profile Option Name | Level | Valid values | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
MSC: APCC Calendar Code | Site | All Calendar codes | None | The analytical layer and the dashboards that display the time hierarchy of manufacturing days, weeks, and periods use this. It is expected that this has the same value as the MSC: Bucketing Calendar profile that is used in the plan runs. |
MSC:APCC Key Component Category Set | Site, responsibility, user level | The name of the category set that identifies the items, such as key component, and their categories that will have new dimensions of End Item and Parent Model enabled in the APCC repository. | ||
MSC: APCC Period Set name | Site | All BIS (Business Intelligence System) Period set names | None | The analytical layer and the dashboards that display time in the hierarchy of days, fiscal periods, quarters, and year use this. |
MSC: APCC Currency Code | Site | All currency codes | None | The analytical layer to convert the values in functional currency to a common reporting currency uses this. This profile is used as the reporting currency for APCC. Please note that if this profile is changed the plan must be republished to APCC repository to see the data in the new currency. |
MSC: APCC Category Set 1, MSC: APCC Category Set 2, MSC: APCC Category Set 3 | Site | All category sets | None | These profiles govern which category set the analytical layer when displaying the item-category hierarchy uses. It precomputes the data for all three hierarchies, but displays the data using only the MSC: APCC Category Set 1 value. Therefore, if the user wants to view using the value in MSC: APCC Category Set 2, the values in these two profiles must be switched. The user can then see the results using the new category set, which is now in the MSC: APCC Category Set 1 profile. There is no need to rerun the plan or republish it to APCC However, if user decides to use a completely new category set, which is not currently in these three profiles, then the profile values must be updated, and the plans must be rerun, or republished, to APCC for the change to take effect. |
MSC: Enable Model & End Item Dimensions in APCC | Site, responsibility, or user level | Yes or No | No | Enables or disables the ETL processing required to populate the end item and parent model dimensions in the APCC. When set to ‘Yes’, the ETL is enabled. When set to ‘No’, the ETL is disabled. |
