Enhance Policy Calculations for Items in a Supersession Relationship

For items in a bidirectional supersession relationship, Oracle Demand Management calculates the revision start and end dates based on the item relationship’s effectivity dates. If a supersession chain has current and latest revision items with calculated start and end dates, then such items may not be effective or have forecast throughout the plan horizon.

With this update, Oracle Replenishment Planning will compute the inventory policy values for items with calculated start and end dates by considering the forecast only for the period the items are effective.

Note that the inventory policies are only computed and effective within the item revision start and end dates.

To enable enhanced policy calculation for items in a supersession relationship, you must select the forecasting profile for your plan in which you generate forecast as shown in this example:
