Process Collaboration Customer Demands
The Process Collaboration Customer Demands scheduled process validates customer-demand data in the Supply Chain Collaboration interface tables and inserts the data into the Supply Chain Collaboration transaction tables for the end user.
When the process completes, it executes the "ESS job to create index definition and perform initial ingest to OSCS" process that adds the demand data to Oracle Search Cloud Service (OSCS) to facilitate fast retrieval in the application.
When to Use
The process initiates
- Automatically when the Publish Planning Data for Collaboration scheduled process.
- Automatically when customer demand is uploaded using Collaboration Customer Demand Uploads REST with the InitiateProcessingFlag attribute set to True.
- Through the Customer Demand Uploads UI.
You can schedule the process to run or run it manually. If you're scheduling the process, the best practice is to schedule it based on your business process. For example, if you expect all demands from your customers to be received within a short window on Monday, scheduling this process to run at end day on Monday might be appropriate.
