Overview of Project-Specific Supply Planning

Project-specific supply planning is one of the features of the Project-Driven Supply Chain solution.

Project-Driven Supply Chain is an end-to-end, integrated solution across the Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain & Manufacturing and Oracle Fusion Cloud Project Management applications that supports business processes to plan supplies based on projects.

Prerequisites

The following points must be true for project-specific supply planning:

  • The Project-Driven Supply Chain and Plan Project-Specific Supply features must be enabled. These features can be enabled even if you're not using other Oracle SCM Cloud Applications for your supply chain executions. For details on how to enable these features, refer to the Implementing Supply Chain Planning guide, Enable Supply Chain Planning Features chapter on the Oracle Help Center.

  • You can use the Project-Driven Supply Chain feature in the Supply Chain Planning work area by opting in attribute-based planning.
    Note: Opt in Project-Driven Supply Chain to enable attribute-based planning in Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain & Manufacturing.

  • You must create your plans in the Unconstrained supply planning mode.

  • You must define an attribute-based netting rule so that you can associate the rule to your supply plan.

Project-Specific Supply Planning Capabilities

Project-specific supply planning improves your order fulfillment accuracy by ensuring components availability to build and fulfill orders. It also ensures completion of projects on time without excessive inventory. Here's how you can use project-specific supply planning capabilities:

  • Plan project-specific supply based on your project-specific forecast, demand, on-hand supply, and incoming supply.

  • Enable attribute-based netting to net project-specific supply or net excess project supply in a project group or a project within the project group or net common supply.

  • Create project and task-specific planned orders for hard pegged items. Also, create planned order for items for which the hard pegging level is set to none. You can view the pegging of supplies and demands with project and task attributes.

  • Configure attribute-based netting rules to net supplies from certain designated tasks within a project.

  • Plan project-specific safety stock.

  • Create project-specific manual demands or planned orders and use simulations to analyze what-if scenarios.

  • Review order-related exceptions and exceptions related to shortage of supply in a project and task.

  • Use Oracle REST API services to manage supply and demand with project references.

  • Enable Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI) reporting for your project-specific supply plans to analyze key metrics such as planned orders with project group, project, and task details.
