Analysis and Adjustment Using Inbound Supplies

Use the Inbound Supplies table to review the impact of inbound material constraints on the schedule. You can adjust dates and add supplies to influence schedule results and evaluate different inbound supply scenarios.

• You can filter data by items, orders, suppliers, supplier numbers, or by a selection in the Gantt chart. Selection in the Gantt chart is only possible on single-capacity resources.
• When you select an order in the table, its consuming operations are highlighted in the Gantt chart. Highlighting is possible on single-capacity resources only. This readily helps you note the scheduling impact of unexpected supply delays. Click the Clear Pegging Highlights button to remove the highlighting.

Note: Filtering data by Gantt chart selection and operation highlighting are accurate only after a solve action.

Open the Inbound Supplies Table

1. In the Production Scheduling work area, on the Production Schedules page, click the required schedule.
2. In the Details section, select Inbound supplies from the View drop-down list.

Analyze

Review inbound quantities and their requested dates for purchase orders or transfer orders to know whether they'll arrive on time. Orders are included for scheduling based on the schedule options.

• Purchase orders are included if their requested date falls within the schedule horizon and the horizon to include past-due supplies. In addition, the purchase order line status must be open. Click the deep link to view the corresponding Purchase order details in Oracle Fusion Cloud Procurement. The link is accessible only if you've logged in as a user with Purchase Analysis role.
• Transfer orders are included if their Expected Delivery date or Need-By date falls within the schedule horizon and the horizon to include past-due supplies. In addition, the fulfillment line status must be open.
• For In-transit shipments, the Expected Receipt Date in Supply Chain Execution is used to determine availability and inclusion in the Production Schedule.

Adjust

Here's what you can change to influence the schedule result and evaluate different inbound supply scenarios.

• To change the request dates of an existing supply:
  1. Double-click the content in the Override for Requested Date cell.
  2. Specify the new date and time in the Override for Requested Date cell.
  3. Click Solve to solve the schedule if you’re ready to solve, otherwise continue to other adjustments.
• To add new supplies for items manually:
  1. In the Inbound supplies table, click the Add button.
  2. In the Add Supply dialog box, specify the item, quantity and requested date.
  3. Click Solve to solve the schedule if you’re ready to solve, otherwise continue to other adjustments.

  The solve process uses the new supply of the item, and schedules dependent work order operations accordingly.

Consider these two points when making your adjustments:

1. Supplies you add manually exist only in Production Scheduling and not in Supply Chain Execution. As a result, deep links for these supplies aren't displayed
2. Override for Requested Date values and inbound supplies that are added manually aren't released to Supply Chain Execution.
