Schedule Order Lines for Make or Buy Supply in Source Promising

Check availability and schedule an order line in source promising so it uses make or buy supply when demand exceeds the supply that's available or is in transit. Use this feature with an item that isn't in a back-to-back flow.

You can schedule an item's purchase or production in source promising when there isn’t enough supply available to meet the scheduled dates:

• The dates can also incorporate preprocessing, processing, postprocessing, and transit lead times.
• Use this feature to create new supply through a make or a buy sourcing rule that you assign at the organization or category and organization level in your assignment set. Promising will use it when supply isn't sufficient for an item that isn't in a back-to-back flow.

Buy Items

If you set up a buy rule for the item, then Promising will use:

Total lead time = preprocessing lead time + processing lead time + postprocessing lead time

Note:

• If you specify a pick and pack lead time, then Promising will use it.

• Promising won't consider your supplier's capacity or calendar.

• Promising considers calendars such as supplier's shipping, organization's shipping, carrier, customer receiving, and so on.

Manufactured Items

If you set up a make rule for the item, then Promising will use:

Manufacturing lead time = (fixed lead time) + (order quantity * variable lead time)

Note:

• Promising considers the relevant calendars, such as organization's shipping, manufacturing, carrier, customer receiving, and so on.

• If you specify a pick and pack lead time or a post processing lead time, then Promising will use them.

• Promising won't consume component supply and it won't consider your bill of resources.

Buy Example

Assume you ship the item from a retail store and you use upstream transfers from your regional and national warehouses. If the national warehouse doesn't have any supply, then Promising will procure it from your supplier, and it will use this flow:

• Buy from supplier, ship to national warehouse, ship to regional warehouse, ship to retail store

Assume the item has these lead times:

Preprocessing Lead Time at National Warehouse	Processing Lead Time at National Warehouse	Post processing Lead Time at National Warehouse	Transit Time, Supplier to National Warehouse	Transit Time, National Warehouse to Regional Warehouse	Transit Time, Regional Warehouse to Retail Store
1 Day	3 Days	2 Days	1 Day	1 Day	2 Days

Assume:

• Today is day 14.
• You submit the sales order with a requested ship date of day 14.
• Your carrier is open Monday through Friday, and closed on Saturday and Sunday.
• Your supplier's shipping calendar is open only on Tuesday. Note that source promising assumes the supplier's calendar is open every day.
• Promising will return a result where you ship the order from the retail store on Day 28, after a delay of 14 days.

Note:

	D14	D15	D16	D17 Sat	D18 Sun	D19	D20	D21	D22	D23	D24 Sat	D25 Sun	D26	D27	D28
Order at Supplier	X
Start Order		X
Ship from Supplier	Closed	Closed	Closed	Closed	Closed	Closed	X	Closed	Closed	Closed	Closed	Closed	Closed		Closed
Arrive at National Warehouse				Closed	Closed			X			Closed	Closed
Transfer at National Warehouse				Closed	Closed					X	Closed	Closed
Arrive at Regional Warehouse				Closed	Closed						Closed	Closed	X
Transfer at Regional Warehouse				Closed	Closed						Closed	Closed	X
Arrive at Retail Store				Closed	Closed						Closed	Closed			X
Scheduled Ship Date				Closed	Closed						Closed	Closed			X

D means day. For example, D14 means day 14.

Make Example

Assume you manufacture the item, and:

• Today is day 10, Monday.
• Fixed lead time is 3 days.
• Variable lead time is 0.5 days.
• Pick and pack lead time is 2 days.
• The factory is open Monday through Friday, and closed on Saturday and Sunday.
• You submit the sales order with a requested quantity of 10 and requested date of day 10.

Promising will use:

Lead time = fixed lead time + (order quantity * variable lead time) + pick and pack lead time

For example:

= 3 + (10 * 0.5) + 2
= 10 days

So, the scheduled ship date is calculated by Promising as day 24, Monday.

Steps to enable and configure

1. Go to the Product Management work area, then set your item's Check ATP attribute to Source Based Promising. See Set Up Your Items in Product Management.
2. Set up a make or buy sourcing rule for the item and assign it at the organization level or the category organization level in your assignment set. See Assign Your Sourcing Rules.

Tips and considerations

This feature:

• Doesn't consider the available-to-promise time fence.
• Can only use transactions that come from an Oracle source system, such as Oracle Order Management. You can't use it with a transaction that happens outside of an Oracle application.
• Doesn't support configure-to-order items. It will support them in a future release.
• Supports all other source promising functionality. See Source Promising and Global Order Promising Cloud Enhancements.

For the assignment levels that you can use, see Use Source Promising.
