Expire Current Collaboration Cycle

Use the Expire Current Collaboration Cycle scheduled process to expire the current collaboration cycle for the specified demand collaboration object in Supply Chain Collaboration.

This applies only to forecasting measures that participate in expiration. Current seeded forecasting measures are Order Forecast and Supply Forecast. This doesn't apply to the consumption history measure.

When expiration runs, current cycle data is set to the previous cycle, and previous cycle data is deleted.

When the process completes, it executes the "ESS job to create index definition and perform initial ingest to OSCS" process that adds the collaboration data for Oracle Search.

When to Use

Schedule the Expire Current Collaboration Cycle process based on the business process you use to define your collaboration cycle. For example, if you receive new customer demand for all customers each week starting on Monday, you can schedule this process to run every week on Sunday at 11:59 in the evening.

Privileges Required

• Manage Demand Collaboration (VCS_MANAGE_DEMAND_COLLABORATION_PRIV)
