Considerations for Resolving Demand Fulfillment Recommendations

You take actions on the demand fulfillment recommendations by accepting recommendations. Five types of recommendations are associated with an at-risk demand. They are displayed in tabs under the Recommendations section on the Demand Fulfillment page.

Following are the recommendation tabs:

• Expedite Buy Orders

• Expedite Make Orders

• Expedite Transfer Orders

• Add Resource Availability

• Add Supplier Capacity

You can choose to view all recommendations associated with all at-risk demands, or choose to view the recommendations associated with the demands that you have selected.

Expedite Recommendations

You can review and accept three types of expedite recommendations:

• Expedite buy orders: This includes purchase orders, requisitions, and planned buy orders.

• Expedite make orders: This includes work orders and planned make orders.

• Expedite transfer orders: This includes transfer orders and planned transfer orders.

Expedite recommendations show when the supply is needed (expedite date) and how many days earlier (expedite days) the supply is required than currently planned.

Regardless of the type of expedite recommendation, many columns of an expedite recommendation are the same. For example, organization, item, order, expedite date, and expedite days are common to all expedite recommendations. However, some columns are specific to certain types of expedite recommendations. For example, processing lead time is specific to the make order recommendation tab.

When you accept an expedite recommendation, the order is firmed using the expedite date as the firm date. When the plan is run after accepting the recommendation, the planning process assumes the supply is available on the firm date.

Add Resource Availability Recommendation

The add resource availability and add supplier capacity recommendations are handled in similar ways. The add resource availability recommendation indicates how many hours a resource is overloaded. To resolve an add resource availability recommendation, you must increase the available hours through Oracle Fusion Cloud Manufacturing applications and then recollect the data.

If you have increased the available hours, but have not run collections yet, you can mark the recommendation as complete to indicate that you have taken action against the recommendation.

Add Supplier Capacity Recommendation

The add supplier capacity recommendation indicates how many additional units of capacity are required. To resolve an add supplier capacity recommendation, you must increase the supplier capacity. Use the CSV file method to upload an increased supplier capacity for the item.

If you have increased the capacity, but have not run collections yet, you can mark the recommendation as complete to indicate that you have taken action against the recommendation.
