Manage Business Unit Resolution Rules

Use the business unit resolution rules to assign a unique procurement business unit to order forecasts when publishing externally sourced collaboration plans.

Why You Use Business Unit Resolution Rules

A supplier site can serve multiple procurement business units, which can lead to incorrectly assigning a procurement business unit to order forecasts and supplier commits. If your supplier site names aren't unique across procurement business units and you're not specifying the procurement business unit when you publish your order forecast data, you will need to implement these rules to derive accurate order forecasts and supply commits.

How Business Unit Resolution Rules Work

When you publish a supply plan and you don't specify procurement business units, the business unit resolution rules are applied and the procurement business units specified in each rule are used.
