Publish PAR Policies
Use the Publish PAR Policies scheduled process to publish periodic automatic replenishment (PAR) policies from Oracle Replenishment Planning to Oracle Fusion Cloud Inventory Management.
When to Use
After the policies for the PAR level and PAR maximum quantity are calculated for locations that aren't tracked by quantity, run this scheduled process to publish the policies to Oracle Inventory Management.
After the scheduled process is successfully run, use the Manage Item Subinventories page in the Inventory Management work area to view the published values for the PAR level and PAR maximum quantity.

| Frequency |
As needed, depending on how often you compute PAR policies for your item-location combinations and how often you add new items to your inventory. Oracle recommends that you run this scheduled process at least once in a month if you've defined PAR policies for your item-location combinations. If your inventory has a large volume of item-location combinations, then it might be more beneficial to run this scheduled process during off-hours for performance reasons. This way, the scheduled process won't compete with other scheduled processes during normal hours. If the number of item-location combinations in your inventory isn’t enormous, and the impact to computing resources would be minimal, then run this scheduled process ad hoc to meet the immediate business needs of making new values for PAR policies available to your inventory. |
| Time of Day | After working hours if the number of item-location combinations is large. |
| Duration | The duration of the scheduled process depends on the number of item-location combinations having PAR policies. |
| Compatibility | There should be only one instance of the scheduled process running at any time, and there’s no current functional need to simultaneously run multiple instances of this scheduled process. |
