Overview of User-Defined Exceptions

You can create your own exceptions to improve supply planning capabilities using specific conditions in the supply chain.

Use the Configure Exception task to create a user-defined exception.

You can create and use exceptions for these modules:

Module	Exception Type
Oracle Demand Management	Measure-based exceptions
Oracle Replenishment Planning	Measure-based exceptions
Oracle Sales and Operations Planning	Measure-based exceptions
Supply Planning (constrained and unconstrained)	Order-based exceptions Measure-based exceptions

Note: User-defined exceptions aren't available for Oracle Planning Central.

For user-defined exceptions that are measure based, the measure forms the foundation for that exception. After you select a measure, you can specify the dimension hierarchy and level for that measure, and the threshold value or measure to generate the exception. You can create an exception based on the following thresholds:

• Value: Set the value and the specific operation, such as less than, equal, and larger than, against the base measure.

• Measure: Select the measure based on your business requirement and select the specific operation that meets the condition against the base measure.

For example, you can create a date-type, measure-based exception such as launch date or discontinuation date. You then can set the threshold value with date and select a date-type measure from the Measure parameter.

Consider the Forecast Start Date before Launch Date date-type exception. You can define the parameters as:

• Base Measure = Forecast Start Date
• Operation = Before (Available values for date type exceptions are: After, Before, Equals, On or after, and On or before)
• Threshold Measure = Product Launch Date
