Enable Contract Manufacturers to Manage Order Forecasts on Behalf of Upstream Suppliers

Contract manufacturers are organizations associated to a supplier site. You can enable a contract manufacturer to view order forecasts, edit forecast quantities, and commit on behalf of their upstream suppliers.

To modify a collaboration relationship:

1. From the Supply Chain Collaboration work area, click Manage Supply Collaboration Network in the Tasks panel.

2. On the Manage Supply Collaboration Network page, search for the collaboration relationship.

3. Select a row in the search results and click Actions > Edit.

4. On the Edit Relationship page, the Trading Partner Access section, set View Order Forecasts to one of the following values:

   • Yes to enable supplier site contacts to view forecasts for items shipped to their site.

   • No to disable supplier site contacts from viewing forecasts.

   Note: The Trading Partner Access section is enabled only when the ship-to organization is associated with a supplier site in the Supply Chain Planning Supply Network model.

5. If View Order Forecasts is set to Yes, you can set the following values:

   • Adjust Order Forecasts to enable or disable supplier site contacts from entering and submitting forecast quantity changes and republishing the order forecast.

   • Adjust Commits to enable or disable supplier site contacts from entering and submitting commit quantities to the enterprise.

6. Click Save and Close.
