Supply Collaboration Flow

The supply collaboration process flow includes the following steps:

1. A Supply Chain Planner uses Oracle Fusion applications, such as Oracle Supply Planning or Oracle Planning Central to create supply plans. The supply plans can use organizations and items defined within the Oracle Fusion product data model or imported from an external source system.

2. The Supply Chain Planner decides which supply plan data to send to Oracle Supply Chain Collaboration. The data can be filtered by attributes such as suppliers, items, and so on.

3. Supply Chain Collaboration receives the supply plans and stores the supply plans in interface tables.

4. Supply Chain Collaboration decomposition process decomposes the supply plans and creates order forecasts.

5. The orchestration process publishes the order forecasts to the suppliers through Oracle Supplier Portal, B2B Messaging using Oracle Fusion Collaboration Messaging Framework, or web services.

6. The Supply Chain Collaboration Planners and the Supplier Demand Planners can view the open collaboration tasks.

7. The Supply Chain Collaboration Planners and the Supplier Demand Planners can view the exceptions that potentially need attention arising due to various reasons, such as past due commits, forecast changes, and forecast commit mismatches.

8. The Supplier Demand Planners can review each time bucket request and commit to supply the requested item quantity in Supplier Portal. The Supply Chain Collaboration Planners can search and view all the published order forecasts and commits on the Manage Order Forecasts and Commits page. The Supply Chain Collaboration Planners can also update order commits on behalf of a supplier.

9. The orchestration process triggers decomposition of the order commits from suppliers and stores the order commits in interface tables.

10. The Supply Chain Planners can pull supplier commits back into Supply Planning or Planning Central Cloud Service as supplier capacity.
