Release Project-Specific Supply Recommendations

Supply chain planning generates plan recommendations with project and task details to suggest actions for balancing supplies and demands. The planning process can either suggest requesting new supplies to fulfill unmet demands or suggest rescheduling or canceling existing supplies to balance excess supplies.

Planned Order Recommendations

When the planning process recommends a new planned order, the order can be released to an Oracle Fusion source system or an external source system, including Oracle E-Business Suite. The planned order can be a make planned order, a buy planned order, or a transfer planned order.

If you have an Oracle Fusion source system, the planning process releases your planned orders with project and task attributes to Oracle Supply Chain Orchestration. The planned orders are validated with additional project-related details and then released to these execution systems:

Release of a make planned order creates a work order with project and task attributes in Oracle Manufacturing.
Release of a buy planned order creates a purchase requisition and then a purchase order with project and task attributes in Oracle Procurement.
Release of a transfer planned order creates a transfer order with project and task attributes in Oracle Inventory Management.

If you have external source systems, the plan release process generates respective CSV files for planned orders with project and task attributes.

For planned orders with the Project hard pegging level value, the planning process recommends supplies only with project. If you release a planned order to a source system without any task attribute, the planning process assigns the first task of the project for supply recommendation.

The planning process can also reschedule in, reschedule out, or cancel a purchase order, transfer order, or work order to balance supplies and demands.

Note: Supplies aren't rescheduled in within the time fence. The project-specific plan nets firm supplies within the time fence by following attribute-based netting sequences.

Planned orders with project and task attributes can't be released for these organizations:

An organization for which the Project Enabled attribute is set to No on the Maintain Supply Network Model page.
A Contract Manufacturing organization.
An organization for which the Plan External Manufacturer Supplies is enabled.
A drop ship validation organization.

Note: Publish of order forecasts won't be striped with project and task.

By default, the planning process releases buy planned orders with project and tasks attributes after grouping them at the project level. The process does that by automatically selecting Project for the Requisition load group by option in the Supply: Advanced Options dialog box when you select a netting rule for your plan.

You can either manually review and release each project-specific planned order recommendation or set up automatic release rules.
