Past Due Sales Order Days Parameter

Past Due Sales Order Days parameter helps determine how far back from the collection run date, sales orders should be collected into Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Planning. It is defined in the Organization tab of the Maintain Supply Network task.

If a sales order's due date falls within the specified number of past due days, both open and shipped orders are collected in the planning process.

Let’s look at an example to understand the effect of this parameter on collections. In this case, the Past Due Sales Order Days is set to 30. Open and shipped sales orders with due dates within the last 30 days are collected into the Planning Data Repository when collections are run.

Now, let’s consider another example where the Past Due Sales Order Days parameter is not set. When collections are run, no past due open sales orders are collected. However, shipped sales orders with due dates within the past 40 days are collected due to the default settings.

Important Thing to Consider While Using the Parameter

If the Source for Including Past Due Demands field is set to Plan option values in the Supply tab of the Edit Plan Options page, and the Past Due Demand Bucket Type field is set to Month, you must ensure the value set for the parameter in the Maintain Supply Network Model task is large enough to have collected the necessary sales orders.

Let’s look at an example to understand this. Suppose you want to collect all open sales orders from June 1st, and the collections are run on July 31st. If you set the parameter to 31 and the Past Due Demand Bucket Type is set to Month, the collection will only consider open sales orders from July, not June. To collect the open sales orders from June, you need to set the parameter to 62. This ensures that all open sales orders from June 1st are collected in Oracle Supply Planning.
