How You Manage Collaboration Planners
As a Supply Chain Collaboration user you work with external suppliers and require profiles with security settings that aren't generally available in other Oracle Fusion applications. You can create and manage a Supply Chain Collaboration Planner and associate the collaboration planner with appropriate access to suppliers and supplier sites.
Supply Chain Collaboration supports two modes of data security:
-
An inclusive data access, where all order forecasts are treated as confidential and you need to explicitly associate a collaboration planner to access specific supplier sites.
-
An exclusive data access, where all order forecasts are treated as public until you explicitly associate a collaboration planner to supplier sites.
By configuring collaboration planner access, you can display only the:
-
Data from suppliers or supplier sites accessible to the collaboration planner on the Supply Chain Collaboration work area.
-
Order forecasts from the supplier sites that are associated with the collaboration planner on the Manage Order Forecasts and Commits page.
You can access the Manage Collaboration Planners page from the Supply Chain Collaboration work area by clicking the Manage Collaboration Planners task in the Tasks panel.
In the Manage Collaboration Planners page, you can perform the following actions:
-
Search for collaboration planners
-
Create new collaboration planners
-
Modify collaboration planners
You can view this page only when data access is enabled. For more information on data access, see the Implementing Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management guide.
