Redwood: Use Additional Capabilities to Manage Demand Fulfillment

The demand fulfillment page provides an at-a-glance view to the issues preventing on-time fulfillment of time including recommended actions such as expediting supplies. The Redwood version of the page now has improvements such as the ability to dynamically drill down to the recommendations with just one click to mitigate the demand at risk that is of interest to you. Other improvements include the ability to add notes to the supplies or demands of interest and a new counter to show the number of recommendations available.

The Redwood: Manage Demand Fulfillment Using a New User Experience feature was delivered in Update 25D. In this update, this feature has been further enhanced.

Recommendation Counts

With this update, you can see the number of recommendations available for each recommendation type. For example, Expedite Buy Orders and Expedite Make Orders in the Demand Fulfillment Recommendations visualization. You can also view the total number of recommendations across different recommendation types, and the number of accepted recommendations.

View and Edit Notes

You can view, add, edit, and delete notes against a demand or supply in At-Risk Demands and Demand Fulfillment Recommendations. The notes capability can be invoked in the following ways:

• Select a single row in either At-Risk Demands or Demand Fulfillment Recommendations and click the notes icon in its toolbar to create or edit a note.
• Click the notes icon in the Notes column to edit or add a note, or click the Add icon to create one.

At-Risk Demands Notes column

When you click the Notes icon, the Notes drawer opens. In the Notes drawer, you can add a note by clicking the Add button or can edit an existing note.

Notes Drawer

Notes created in either At-Risk Demands or Demand Fulfillment Recommendations are associated with a demand or supply. They aren’t plan-specific. For example, if you add a note to a sales order in At-Risk Demands, then that note is visible in Supplies and Demands, Plan Inputs, or in any Simulation Set or Plan that contains that sales order.

To know more about how notes work, refer to Redwood: Manage Planning Notes Using a New User Experience feature in the Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Planning 25B What’s New.

Dynamic Linking

With this update, you can dynamically (one-click) drill down to the recommendations to mitigate the demand at risk. On the Demand Fulfillment page, when you select a demand in the At-Risk Demands, it automatically shows the corresponding recommendations in the Demand Fulfillment Recommendations without a manual drill-to.

Column Filters for At-Risk Demands

Steps to Enable and Configure

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

• The count of a recommendation type in Demand Fulfillment Recommendations doesn’t change when you further filter the records after drilling from another visualization such as At-Risk Demands or opening in a standalone mode.  
• The dynamic linking is available only when you select one or more demands in the At-Risk Demands to show its corresponding recommendations and not vice-versa. To view which all demands that are at risk for a particular recommendation, you need to manually drill-to At-Risk Demands from Demand Fulfillment Recommendations.
• Dynamic linking is available only within the Demand Fulfillment page.
• Manage views and column filters aren’t part of Demand Fulfillment Recommendations visualization.
