How You Configure Global Order Promising to Support Back-to-Back Fulfillment
This topic provides supporting documentation for a step in the Setting Up Back-to-Back Fulfillment roadmap. If you have a requirement to build products to meet your supply demand for back-to-back orders, you must configure Oracle Global Order Promising.
The Global Order Promising Rules tasks that you configure in the Order Promising work area in the Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management offering are:
-
Manage ATP Rules
-
Manage Sourcing Rules
-
Manage Assignment Sets
Configuring Global Order Promising to support back-to-back fulfillment is similar to configuration for standard order promising. However, there are additional needs specific to back-to-back order promising. The following table provides the configuration settings you must apply.
Task Name |
Settings |
Comments |
---|---|---|
Manage ATP Rules |
Select Supply chain availability search for the Promising Mode |
NA |
Manage ATP Rules |
Enable Search Components and Resources |
This is mandatory for back-to-back make recommendations. |
Manage ATP Rules |
Select the Supply Types you want supported |
NA |
Manage ATP Rules |
Set the Infinite Availability Time Fence Definition to a large value |
If the flow is required to support long-lead items, set this attribute. Otherwise, make this value consistent with the planning time fence for the enterprise. Note:
If Global Order Promising doesn't find sufficient supply until the Infinite Time Fence, it assumes there's an infinite supply for the manufactured item. Therefore, Global Order Promising doesn't generate any recommendations. |
Manage Sourcing Rules |
Choose Local for the Organization Assignment Type |
Depending on the general setup, ranking of sources, and the ability to provide supply in the required lead time, Global Order Promising recommends make, transfer, or on hand supply recommendations. |
Manage Sourcing Rules |
(Optional) Enter the Start Date and End Date for Sourcing Rule Effective Dates |
NA |
Manage Sourcing Rules |
Define supply sources in the Sources table |
NA |
Manage Assignment Sets |
Provide the following attributes:
|
Global Order Promising supports assignment at multiple hierarchical levels. |
For a manufactured item, you must associate the item with a "Make At" sourcing rule specified for the organization for which the item will be manufactured.
Global Order Promising looks through sourcing to determine what type of supply recommendation to generate at the fulfillment organization. The following table shows the supply generation recommendations for various scenarios.
Scenario |
Supply Recommendation |
---|---|
Available-to-promise (ATP) supply available at fulfillment organization |
Generate ATP (on-hand) recommendation |
Supply available at upstream organization defined in the local sourcing rule |
Generate transfer recommendation |
Supply available through components and resources at fulfillment organization |
Generate make recommendation |
Supply available at supplier defined in local sourcing rule at fulfillment organization |
Generate buy recommendation |
