Source : http://www.oracleug.com/user-guide/master-schedulingmrpscp/supply-chain-planning Oracle Advanced Planning Suite has a component architecture that separates the transaction data and associated processing (for example, inventory receipts and order entry) in a source instancefrom instancefrom the planning calculations done in a destination instance. instance. This allows planning calculations to be done on a different physical machine than the machine that performs transactions and re sults in better system response. It also allows planning calculations (demand planning, inventory planning, supply planning and order promising) to be applied simultaneously to information from across multiple source instances, which is useful when transaction information for a global supply chain is spread across multiple instances. Oracle Demand Planning also uses athird instance, anExpress an Express database, database, to hold data while multidimensional manipulation of demand data occurs. The source can be any ERP system, but out-of-the-box integration to the Oracle Advanced Planning Suite destination instance (planning server) exists in some cases but not in all cases. Set up for Oracle Advanced Planning Suite consists of steps for the source, steps for the destination, and steps for Express. APS may be implemented in t wo possible configurations: Centralized Planning A centralized configuration implies that the ERP applications and APS share the same Oracle instance on one server. Decentralized Planning A decentralized configuration implies that the ERP applications and APS are executing within two separate Oracle instances, possibly on the same server.
Both configurations are supported using a consistent architecture with the sole distinction b eing that the decentralized configuration requires the use of database of database links to pull data into the MSC data store. store .
APS nomenclature employs Source and Destination Destination when when speaking of the ERP transaction data store and the planning data. Data, at the source, is collected into the destination destination or operational datastore datastore (ODS (ODS)) where planning activities occur. If a centralized c onfiguration is implemented, both the source and destination are operating within the same Oracle instance.
In Oracle Advanced Planning, transaction processing and planning occur in separate database instances, the source instance and the destination instance. If you deploy any Oracle Advanced Planning module using this multi-instance configuration, please note the important restriction that b oth source and destination database instances must be on the same major release of the Oracle database; either both instances must be on Oracle 8i or both instances must be on Oracle 9i. The configuration source on 8i with destination on 9i is not supported and the configuration source on 9i with destination on 8i is not supported. The following figure is a flowchart illustrating the source and destination setup steps. Multti-Machine Implementation
For small implementations, source, destination, and Express can reside on the same machine and be in the same instance.
For larger implementations where system throughput is more important, the various instances can be deployed on separate machines. A two-machine deployment configuration is appropriate when the size of the demand planning data is relatively small. A three-machine deployment allows for the manipulation of high-dimensionality, large-scale demand planning data to occur on a machine separate from the planning calculations done on the planning server. The following figure illustrates this configuration. The Advanced Supply Chain Planning concurrent manager may also be deployed on a separate machine. Setup Flowchart
Implementing APS in centralized mode is only possible when collecting from an 11i source.A centralized implementation does not require database links. Since the planning flexfields are included in 11i, submitting the concurrent process, Create Planning Flexfields is not required. All other setup discussed in this document are required.
This section describes the flows of information between the components of the Oracle Advanced Planning Suite and provides an overview of how these components are to be used together in order t o accomplish several key business flows. Topics covered in this section include the following:
APS Information Flows
The Demand-to-Make / Demand-to-Buy Business Flow
The Inquiry-to-Order Business Flow
APS Information Flows The major information flows between the components of the Oracle Advanced Planning Suite and the rest of Oracle Applications are shown in the figure b elow.
The Demand-to-Make / Demand-to-Buy Business Flow The demand-to-make /demand-to-buy business flow begins with the establishment of independent demands that will drive the activities of the supply chain. On the basis of sales h istory from Oracle Order Management, Oracle Demand Planning generates statistical demand forecasts. After adjustment by planners, these forecasts and their variability as estimated by Oracle Demand Planning are then input into Oracle Inventory Optimization.
Using user-supplied information about the variability of this forecast demand and the variability of supplier lead times, Oracle Inventory Optimization generates an optimal time-phased safety stock plan. Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning (hereafter, Oracle ASCP) considers three streams of independent demand: the safety stock planned demand from Oracle Inventory Optimization, forecasts from Oracle Demand Planning, and sales order demand from Oracle Order Management. Oracle ASCP outputs a time-phased supply plan (planned orders) that can then be released directly to the appropriate execution systems: Oracle Purchasing, Oracle Work in Process (for discrete manufacturing), Oracle Process Manufacturing, Oracle Fl ow Manufacturing, Oracle Project Manufacturing, or Oracle Shop Floor Management (for semiconductor manufacturing). The Inquiry-to-Order Business Flow The demand/supply picture output by Oracle ASCP serves as the basis for the order promising results calculated by Oracle Global Order Promising. Oracle Global Order Promising can be called either from a customer-facing order capture application such as a web store or from Oracle Order Management. In the inquiry-to-order business flow, an inquiry for a potential order is sent from Oracle Order Management to Oracle Global Order Promising. The fulfillment date r eturned by Global Order Promising, if later than the original request date, is populated as the new request date of the order. This request date validation process is called scheduling. Once an order is successfully scheduled, then it can be booked and made visible to Oracle ASCP for supply planning purposes. Planning Cycle This section describes an end-to-end planning flow that a planner might perform during the course of a planning cycle. The flow demonstrates the key features of Oracle ASCP that a typical planner would use in the course of their work. The general flow that occurs during a planning cycle is shown in the figure below.
Setup Steps for the Source 1. Install the source instance patch
Before beginning the functional setup of the source instance(s), a patch must be applied that will create several new concurr ent programs, flexfields, profile options, and database objects on t he source database. The patch that is required is determined by the versions of the application and database on the source instance. When successfully applied, the patch should create the Create Planning Flexfields, Create Global ATP Flexfields, and Refresh Snapshot programs under the All SCP Reports Request group. 2. Create a database link pointing to the planning server.
Note: Before beginning the installation of the source patch, count all (if any) invalid database objects. If after the patch is installed there are more invalid objects than before, there was a problem with the patch application. A database link must be established on the source instance that points to the destinat ion (planning) instance. This database link will be referenced in a newly cre ated profile option, MRP: ATP Database Link. 3. Create an Advanced Supply Chain Planner responsibility. You must create a responsibility in the source instance with the
name 'Advanced Supply Chain Planner'. The responsibility name must match Advanced Supply Chain Planner exactly. During the data collection process which runs on the destination server, the Refresh Snapshot program is launched automatically in the source from this responsibility. The refresh snapshot process will not complete properly if the responsibility name is not correct.
The Create Planning Flexfields concurrent program creates new segment definitions in existing descriptive flexfields to hold data that may be required for constrained and/or optimized planning. The program also populates profile values with the value corresponding to the descriptive flexfield attribute number for each attribute (planning parameter) created. 4. Launch the Create Planning Flexfields report from the newly created Advanced Supply Chain Planner responsibility. The
parameters that must be set for the report are the attributes that you wish to utilize for the new flexfield definitions. The list of values for each parameter lists only the available attributes in the subject descriptive flexfield. After submitting the program, eleven additional processes should be spawned. These jobs are compiling the descriptive flexfield views. Check that the profile values corresponding to each flexfield attribute were populated with the correct attribute number. Some profile values may retain the value of unassigned after the Create Planning Flexfield program completed. You must change any unassigned profiles to the attribute number corresponding to the flexfield attribute where the new segment was defined. 5. Create the Global Order Promising flexfields.
The Create Global ATP Flexfields is very similar to the Create Planning Flexfields program. It creates new fl exfield segments to hold global ATP data at the item, BOM, routing, and re source levels. The same process, including warnings and suggest ions, applies for the Create Global ATP Flexfield program. 6. Set up source data with BOMs, resources, routings, supplier data, flexfields, purchasing information, item masters, Oracle
BIS targets, and any other data required by your plans. 7. Set profile values.
If Global Order Promising is going to be utilized, the following two additional profile options must be set. The MRP: ATP Database Link profile option must be set with the database link. The profile value is the name of the database link that resides on the source and points to the destination. There is no validation on this profile value. If Global Order Promising is not utilized, this need not be set. The INV: External ATP profile must be set to Global ATP. This is a choice from the list of values. If Global ATP is not utilized, this need not be set. 8. Execute the Refresh Snapshot concurrent program.
The Refresh Snapshot process must be run on the sou rce. This concurrent program is available i n the Advanced Supply Chain Planner responsibility created earlier. The process has no parameters t o be set at run time. Verify that the process complete s without error. Setup Steps for the Destination
1. Install the destination instance patches. 2. Create a database link pointing to each source. These links will be needed when defining instances later on in this setup procedure. 3. Define the source instances to be collected from. The define instances setup establishes the means of communication between the source and destination instances. It also specifies the organizations in the source database for which data will be pulled. 4. From the Navigator, choose Setup > Instances. Do not access this form while the collections process is running; it locks a table that the collections process needs to complete successfully. The Application Instances window appears. Enter each of the Application instances for which you would like the Planning Server to plan. Complete the fields and flags in the Application Instances window as shown in the table below.
Enter the organizations on each of t he instances from which to collect the Planning data and plan for on the Planning Server by clicking Organizations. The Organizations window appears. Select the organizations for a particular instance. Be sure to select the master organization.
Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning (ASCP) is a comprehensive, Internet-based planning solution that decides when and where supplies (for example, inventory, purchase orders and work orders) should be deployed within an extended supply chain. This is the supply planning function. Oracle ASCP addresses the following key supply planning issues: • How do I plan my supply chain in the least amount of ti me possible? • How do I minimize the number of plans and iterations? • How do I plan my entire supply chain? • How do I involve my trading partners? • How can I access my plan from anywhere? • How do I keep improving my plans? • How can I plan all manufacturing methods? The key capabilities of Oracle ASCP are: • Holistic Optimization, Planning, and S cheduling. Oracle ASCP can plan all supply chain facilities simultaneously. Short-term detailed scheduling and long-term aggregate planning are supported within a single plan. This single plan also supports mult iple manufacturing methods, including discrete, flow, project, and process manufacturing. • Finite Capacity Planning and Scheduling . Oracle ASCP generates feasible supply chain plans that consider both resource and material constraints. • Optimization. Users can easily configure Oracle ASCP to optimize specific business criteria. No programming is necessary to access Oracle ASCP‘s powerful mathematical optimization capabilities. • Backward Compatibility. Oracle ASCP‘s component architecture allow it to be deployed against any combination of Oracle 11 and Oracle 11i transaction systems. • Workflow-Driven Exception Messaging. Oracle ASCP‘s exception messages alert planners to critical issues across the extended supply chain. Workflows that drive these exceptions route data to and feedback from trading partners as required, thus effectively involving them in the supply chain planning process. • Global Accessibility. Oracle ASCP‘s database-centric architecture stores plan data in a central planning server database. These data are accessible from Oracle Advanced S upply Chain Planning anywhere via a simple browser. It is possible for multiple planners to simultaneously access data from a single plan. • Integrated Planning and Execution. Oracle ASCP‘s A dvanced Planner Workbench user interface not only displays plan results, but also allows planners to execute planning recommendations. Planners do not have to move to the transaction system to perform plan execution. • Simulation Capability. Oracle ASCP allows many types of changes to supply, demand, plan options, and resource profiles to simulate changing business conditions. You can generate a plan considering all the changes that have been entered via the Planner‘s Workbench. Unlimited numbers of scenarios can be simulated and compared using online planning, copy plans, and exceptions. Objective The objective of this document is to provide technical instructions of implementing a distributed multi node Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning system on your existing Oracle Application 11i System.
Assumption / Pre implementation requirements Oracle Advanced Planning Suite has component architecture that separates the transaction data and associated processing (for example, inventory receipts and order entry) in a source instance from the planning calculations done in a destination instance. This allows planning calculations to be done on a different physical machine than the machine that performs transactions and results in better system response. It also allows planning calculations (demand planning, inventory planning, supply planning and order promising) to be applied simultaneously to information from across multiple source instances, which is useful when transaction information for a global supply chain is spread across multiple instances. The source can be any ERP system, but out-of-the-box integration to the Oracle Advanced Planning Suite destination instance (planning server) exists if the source is Oracle Applications Release 11.0 or 11i. The planning server is an 11i instance. Both source and destination database instances must be on the same major release of the Oracle database; We are going to do a two machine ASCP implementation. The basic requirement for both the machines is that of Oracle 11i E Business Suit. Source System also called as ―ER P System‖ and ―Transaction System‖. Destination System also called as ―ASCP S ystem‖ and Planning System‖. Both the Oracle Applications 11i E-Business Suite are on release 11.5.10.2. Patching the Source System (ERP System) and the Destination (ASCP system) Task By: Apps DBA Before beginning the functional setup of the source instance(s) and destination, the following patches must be applied that will create several new concurrent programs, flexfields, profile options, and database objects on the database. If these patches have any prerequisite patches, you will have to apply all the prerequisite patches before applying the main patches. Note that these patches can be applied at the same time on both the systems. Also note that most of the patches are to be applied on both the systems. Note that we are using Oracle Applications 11.5.10.2 E Business suite and hence most of the patches may not be required to be applied. To confirm this use the following sql script connected to the Oracle Application Database as ―APPS‖ user.
SET LINESIZE 120 COLUMN APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME FORMAT A20 SELECT BUG_ID, APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME, BUG_NUMBER, CREATION_DATE, ARU_RELEASE_NAME FROM AD_BUGS WHERE BUG_NUMBER LIKE ‗%&BUG_NUMBER%‘ ORDER BY 4 Pass the patch number when asked for the Bug Number and check whether the bug / patch exist in the Or acle Application database. If the query returns row (showing the presence of the patch) then you don‘t require applying this patch. Before applying patches please go through the readme files and associated notes (if present) for each patch. Before beginning the installation of the source / destination patches, count all (if any) invalid database objects. If after the patches are installed there are more invalid objects than before, there was a problem with the patch application. First try to resolve them before going to next step. Do the required pre install steps before applying each patch and then after applying do the post-installation steps. Patch the Source System (ERP System) The following patches are required to be applied on the Source system: 1. 4185358 2. 2700001 3. 3551142 4. 4183434 5. 4240365 6. 4039921 7. 4392144 8. 4366346 9. 4863176 Prepare a work sheet to identify whether the patch is required to be applied on the Oracle Application Source system using above given sql script and whether it requires any pre-requisite patches.
