11 Receipts by Size Task

The Receipts by Size task enables planners to break approved style-color receipt quantities into size or SKU-level receipt quantities before downstream execution. This optional workflow supports retailers that require purchase orders, commitments, allocation, or replenishment processes to operate at SKU level rather than only at style-color level.

Approved receipt quantities are created in Item Flow, Item Flow Exceptions, or In-Season Item Flow at the style-color, store, and week level. Receipts by Size applies size profile contribution percentages from Oracle Retail AI Foundation Size Profile Optimization (SPO), or another external size optimization source, to distribute those approved style-color receipts into SKU-level receipts. Planners can review the resulting size-level quantities and rounding impacts before approving the SKU-level receipt plan for export to downstream systems such as MFCS and IPO.

Create the Receipts by Size Segment

When working in a segment, it is a common practice to keep the wizard selections for the segment size limited to what will be worked on, to facilitate navigation and increase UI responsiveness.

Wizard selection is pre-raged to only include unelapsed weeks, active stores, and style- colors that are non-placeholders with Cp Assorted Options set to true.

To create the Receipts by Size segment:

  1. From the Oracle Home page, navigate to the Oracle Retail icon to open the task selection panel.
  2. Locate the Receipts by Size task using the available navigation options or by entering Receipts by Size in the search field.
  3. Select the Receipts by Size task. The wizard dialog opens.
  4. Click Create New Plan.
  5. Enter a plan label and click OK.
  6. In Select Calendar, choose the timeframe to review and click Next.
  7. In Select Location, choose the locations to review and click Next.
  8. In Select Product, choose one or more departments and click Next.
  9. Click Finish.

Step: Receipts by Size

The Receipts by Size step is used to break approved style-color receipt quantities into SKU-level receipt quantities using size profile contribution percentages. Planners review the size profile, generate receipts by size, evaluate rounding impacts, and approve the resulting SKU-level receipt plan for downstream export.

Tab and Views in this Step:

Application Actions

Create Receipts by Size

Generates SKU-level receipt quantities by applying size profile contribution percentages to approved style-color receipt quantities for the selected store and week combinations.

Approve Receipts by Size

Copies the Working Plan (Wp) SKU-level receipt quantities to the Current Plan (Cp) version, making the approved size-level receipts available for downstream export.

Receipts by Size Tab

The Receipts by Size tab enables planners to review size profile contribution percentages, generate SKU-level receipt quantities from approved style-color receipt plans, and approve the resulting size-level receipts for downstream export.

Receipts by Size View

The Receipts by Size view enables planners to generate and review SKU-level receipt quantities by applying size profile contribution percentages to approved style-color receipt quantities. Planners can select the size break method, execute the Create Receipts by Size application action, review the resulting SKU-level receipt quantities and rounding variance, and approve the receipts by size for downstream export.

The steps to complete this process:

  1. Review approved style-color receipt quantities by week, store, and style-color in IF Cp Receipts U measure.
  2. Select the size break method to determine whether the size break is calculated across the total receipt quantity or separately by week.
    1. If Wp Total Buy Size Breaks Boolean measure is True, the size profile contribution percentages are applied to the style-color’s total receipt quantity across all weeks in the workspace.
    2. If Wp Total Buy Size Breaks Boolean measure is False, the size profile contribution percentages are applied to each week’s receipt quantity separately.
  3. Select the Wp Create Receipts by Size Boolean measure for the style-colors to be processed.
  4. Execute the Create Receipts by Size application action to generate SKU-level receipt quantities.
  5. Review generated SKU-level receipt quantities and rounding variance in Wp Receipts U var IF Cp %.
  6. Select the Wp Approve Boolean measure for the SKU-level receipt quantities to be approved.
  7. Execute the Approve application action to copy Working Plan (Wp) SKU-level receipt quantities to the Current Plan (Cp) version for downstream export.
Review SPO Size Profile View

The Review SPO Size Profile view displays size profile contribution percentages used to distribute approved style-color receipt quantities into SKU-level receipt quantities. Planners can review the expected size or SKU contribution by location before executing the Create Receipts by Size application action.
