Overview of Attribute-Based Planning

Your enterprise enables attribute-based planning to maximize supply availability for specific planning attributes. As a supply planner who uses attributes in planning, you can control the granularity with which supplies are netted with demands.

Here's an overview of the tasks you need to conduct attribute-based planning:

  1. Create segment groups and carry out item segmentation.

  2. Create planning attributes and corresponding attribute dimensions.

  3. Associate planning attribute values with dimension levels.

  4. Add attribute dimensions to measures by configuring attribute measure contexts.

  5. Create attribute-based netting rules and add planning attributes.

  6. Create an unconstrained plan and associate a measure catalog, measure context, and netting rule to the plan.

  7. Run the plan and review planning results.

Note: This chapter calls out the features of planning with attributes, but existing planning setup and processes continue to apply.

The release of planned orders with planning attribute values to Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM flexfield segments is based on the planning attribute mapping. Here's how your planning results are used:

  • The release of a make planned order with planning attribute values to Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM creates a work order with attribute values in work order header descriptive flexfield segments.

  • The release of a buy planned order with planning attribute values to Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM creates a purchase requisition with attribute values in purchase requisition line descriptive flexfield segments.

  • The release of a transfer planned order with planning attribute values to Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM creates a transfer order with attribute values in transfer order line descriptive flexfield segments.

Here's how the release of planned orders with planning attribute values to external sources happens:

  • Make or Buy or Transfer planned orders with planning attribute values released from planning creates release CSV files with planning attribute values.

  • Planning attribute values are updated in the release CSV files in the planning attribute number column.

  • The planning attribute number column updated in the release CSV file will be the attribute number of the corresponding planning attribute in the planned order released.
