Redwood: Manage Order Promising Demands from External Source Systems

You can use the Redwood user experience to manage order promising for sales order lines collected from an order management system. Use search criteria to filter and select order lines, then prioritize and schedule them in required sequence. You can also review key details for selected order lines, including item availability, supply availability, allocation information, and scheduling diagnosis reports. In addition, the page provides streamlined access to common setup and configuration tasks.

The Manage Order Promising Demands (MOPD) page offers the ability to search, and view promised and collected sales orders, perform Check Availability simulations, review various Planning and Oracle Global Order Promising configurations and setups, and access Scheduling Diagnostics information in a new Redwood user experience.

View Collected Sales Orders

You can view sales orders that are either loaded from an external source system through the file upload process or collected directly from a Fusion source system.

You can search for orders using the following filter criteria:

  • Organization
  • Item
  • Customer
  • Days of Delay
  • Scheduling Diagnostics
  • Demand Class
  • Order Number
  • Source Order

From the Actions menu for the selected item, you can access the following reports:

  • Supply Availability Report
  • Item Availability Report
  • Supply Allocation Report

Check Availability and Order Simulations

You can select one or more orders from MOPD and click Check Availability in the Actions area. This opens the Check Availability Redwood page, where you can perform related tasks such as scheduling priorities, reviewing reports, creating simulation demands, editing line settings, and rescheduling orders.
