Scope Plan Options for Replenishment Plans

Scope plan options determine the replenishment plan's scope. Define or modify scope plan options on the Scope tab on the Plan Options page.

The Scope tab includes the following:

• Dimension Catalog field

• Plan Organizations section

• Plan Items section

• Plan Parameters section

Dimension Catalog

In the Dimension Catalog field, select the dimension catalog from which hierarchies are made available for the replenishment plan.

You can use the predefined Default Replenishment Planning Catalog or a dimension catalog that you have created for your requirements. The dimension catalog that you use contains the hierarchies that you can select for your replenishment plan.

Note that Oracle Replenishment Planning doesn't support the Customer or Demand Class dimension. Any dimension catalog that contains these dimensions isn't available in the Dimension Catalog field.

Plan Organizations

Specify a hierarchy, a level, and level members by which to filter the organizations for the replenishment plan. Only the Enterprise hierarchy can be selected.

You can select both organizations and subinventories as level members. Subinventories are listed in the <organization>:<subinventory> format.

Note:

If you select a subinventory as a level member, the Enable for OTBI reporting check box is grayed out. OTBI reporting isn't supported for subinventories.

Subinventories are available for selection only if their parent organizations are enabled for subinventory-level planning on the Organizations tab on the Maintain Supply Network Model page.

Also, select the source system to use for filtering legal entities, business units, and organizations. Ensure that the selected source system is the same as that for the segment group that you select in the Segment Group field under the Plan Items section.

Plan Items

Select the segment group and segments that must be included in the replenishment plan.

Only those segment groups for which the segmentation process has been successfully run and that don't use the Customer or Demand Class dimension are available in the Segment Group field.

Only those item-location combinations belonging to the selected segments and organizations selected as level members under the Plan Organizations section are included in the replenishment plan scope. Moreover, the MPS and MRP Planning Method attribute must be set to Replenishment planning for these items. If you selected legal entities or business units as level members, the organizations in these legal entities or business units are considered.

Note: The number of combinations of items, locations, and planning time buckets in the replenishment plan can't exceed 31 million.

Plan Parameters

The following table describes the plan parameters:

Parameter	Definition
Planning Calendar	Planning calendar. Only those planning calendars that are a part of the selected dimension catalog are available for selection. Moreover, the planning calendar can be of the fiscal, Gregorian, or organization type. You can select fiscal calendars when only the Generate forecast check box is selected on the Plan Options page.
Planning Time Level	Planning time level. The planning time levels you can select are day and month for a fiscal calendar, month for a Gregorian calendar, and day, week, and period for an organization calendar.
Number of Buckets	Number of planning time buckets that determines the planning time granularity. The planning time level and number of planning time buckets together determine the planning horizon that's represented by the plan start date and plan end date on the General subtab on the Supply tab.
Policy Assignment Set	Policy assignment set for the selected segment group. Policies are calculated on the basis of policy parameters defined in the policy assignment set. Note: If the Calculate policy parameters check box is selected, you must select a policy assignment set.
Measure Catalog	Catalog containing measures used in the replenishment plan output. By enabling only those measures that are needed for your replenishment plan, you can perform a focused analysis with improved performance. If the Enable for incremental planning and Calculate replenishments check boxes are selected on the Plan Options page, the Incremental Replenishment Planning Default Catalog is selected, and the field is grayed out.
Exception Set	Exceptions computed as a part of the replenishment plan. By enabling only required exceptions, you can improve the performance of the replenishment plan. You must create exception sets and exceptions because there aren't any predefined exception sets and exceptions for Replenishment Planning.
Simulation Set	Set of adjustments to item attributes. Apply a simulation set to your replenishment plan to model different business scenarios.
