Profile Option Codes and the Collection of Resources and the Resource Availability

This topic explains how the collection of resources and the resource availability for modules of Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Planning is affected by the use of profile option codes.

Note these points about the use of profile option codes while you collect resources and the resource availability:

  • When resources are based on hours, you must define the applicable unit of measure (UOM) for hours using the MSC_HOUR_UOM profile option code. Examples of hour-based UOMs are Hour and HRS.

    When you're collecting resources and the resource availability from Oracle Fusion Cloud Manufacturing, if the profile value for MSC_HOUR_UOM isn't set, the profile value set for the ORA_RCS_HOUR_UOM profile option code in Oracle Manufacturing is considered.

    When you're collecting resources and the resource availability from Oracle E-Business Suite or a third-party system, you must set the profile value for MSC_HOUR_UOM.

    The UOM you set for the profile value of MSC_HOUR_UOM or ORA_RCS_HOUR_UOM should belong to the UOM class specified in the administrator profile option code called RCS_DEFAULT_UOM_CLASS_CODE_FOR_SVC_DURATION.

  • When resources are based on units, you must define the applicable UOM for units using the MSC_DEFAULT_UNIT_UOM profile option code. Examples of unit-based UOMs are EA and Each.

    If you're not collecting unit-based resources, ensure that the profile value for MSC_DEFAULT_UNIT_UOM isn't defined.

  • If your resources are using a UOM that's different from the profile value defined for MSC_HOUR_UOM/ORA_RCS_HOUR_UOM or MSC_DEFAULT_UNIT_UOM, you've to define a conversion between the base UOM of the UOM class associated with the profile value and the UOM that your resources are using.
    • If you're collecting resources and the resource availability from Oracle Manufacturing, you'll use the Manage UOM Standard Conversions task in the Setup and Maintenance work area to define the conversion.
    • If you're collecting resources and the resource availability from Oracle E-Business Suite or a third-party system, you'll define the conversion using the file-based data import (FBDI) template named Supply Chain Planning Units of Measure (ScpUOMImportTemplate.xlsm).
  • No conversion is possible between hour-based and unit-based UOMs.
  • Don't enter the same profile value for MSC_HOUR_UOM and MSC_DEFAULT_UNIT_UOM. Otherwise, the resource availability for unit-based resources will also be generated in hours, and the generated information will be incorrect. For example, don't select the HRS profile option for both profile option codes.

    The profile value for ORA_RCS_HOUR_UOM shouldn't also match the profile value for MSC_DEFAULT_UNIT_UOM.
