Create a Collaboration Plan

On the Manage Collaboration Plans page, you can create a new collaboration plan.

When a supply plan is published from Oracle Planning Central or Oracle Supply Planning for a collaboration plan, Oracle Supply Chain Collaboration sets the Source System attribute. If the supply plan has organizations and items collected from an external source system, then the collaboration plan Source System attribute is set to External. If the supply plan has organizations and items collected from Oracle Fusion applications, then the collaboration plan Source System attribute is set to Oracle. Once the collaboration plan's source system is set it can't be changed. Create a new collaboration plan if the source system changes in Supply Planning.

Note: A supply plan that's partly defined in an Oracle application and partly in an external application isn't supported.

To create a collaboration plan:

In the Supply Chain Collaboration work area, click Manage Collaboration Plans in the Tasks panel.
On the Manage Collaboration Plans page, click Actions >Create.
On the Create Collaboration Plan dialog box, select the source of the supply plan. The supply plans are created using Oracle Supply Chain Planning or an external application.
Select the supply plan. The default collaboration plan name is same as the supply plan. If required, enter a new name for the collaboration plan.

Note: Only the collaboration plan name is available to the suppliers using Oracle Supplier Portal.
Select the initial status of the collaboration plan.
Select the frequency.
- When you select a weekly frequency, you can define the Duration value and Start Day with a value of Monday to Sunday.
- When you select a monthly frequency, you can either define the Duration value and Start Date with a value of 1 to 28 or a Start Day with a start day ordinal of First, Second, Third, Fourth, or Last and start day with a value of the name of the day (Monday to Sunday).
Click Save and Close to save the new collaboration plan.
