Scheduling in Order Management

-


Scheduling is a concept, which helps to place the demand in the inventory based on the availability.

Scheduling helps with the following:
•        Find the availability of the item
•        Populate the Schedule Ship Date, Arrival Date and the Last Acceptable Date based on the calculate ATP date
•        Performs the reservation based on Scheduled Ship Date
•        Calculates the delivery lead time based on ship method
•        Prevents over demand by setting the items attribute Check ATP.

Scheduling is a communications tool that helps balance customer demands with your ability to fulfill that demand.

Key Features:
Scheduling in Order Management includes the ability to:
•        Schedule at multiple points - either manually or automatically as the line is entered, when the order is booked, or later using a back ground process.
•        Determine the best warehouse for an order line using sourcing rules. This includes using ATO models.
•        Define by customer whether the request date is the requested ship date or requested arrival date.
•        Automatically set the scheduled ship and arrival dates based on the calculated ATP date.
•        Define a shipping network and determine the number of days required for delivery based on the transit time.
•        Automatically reserve on-hand inventory to order lines.
•        Control, based on order transaction type, the level of scheduling which should occur.
•        View availability for multiple warehouses at one time.
•        Group lines into arrival sets which may be shipped from different warehouses on different days but should arrive at the customer site on the same day, or group lines into ship sets which ship on the same day from the same location.
•        Reserve scheduled lines from multiple orders using the Reserve Orders concurrent program. Optionally, you can use reservations strategies such as Fair Share, Percentage, and Partial. You can choose whether to simulate or commit the reservations. An API Hook is provided for those who want to write an API to tailor reservation logic for business-specific processes. Reserve Orders can be run either from the concurrent request menu or from Scheduling across Orders.
•        Override Available to Promise (ATP). This feature allows authorized users to override ATP schedule date from the sales order window as needed for exceptions.
•        Perform scheduling actions on multiple lines across orders.
•        Scheduling can be updated based on the latest planning output for planned items.
•        Configured items can be matched at scheduling for planned items.
•        Flexible scheduling parameters allow users to control the use of Promise Date, the impact of Request Date and Shipping Method on Schedule Date, the behavior of the LAD with manual scheduling, and whether to allow partial reservations for manual reservations and the reservation time fence.
•        ATP/Scheduling uses Transportation calendars like Shipping Calendar, In-transit (Carrier) Calendar, and Receiving Calendar to calculate the ship/arrival dates
•        The ATP window displays the scheduling results for all recent (related to the current order) scheduling actions- successes as well as failures.Check the blog post on Available to Promise (ATP)

Scheduling happens during any one of the following events:
•        Automatic scheduling upon entry
•        Manual scheduling upon entry
•        Scheduling during booking
•        Scheduling after booking


Different ways of Auto Scheduling

1.    Auto Schedule through “OM: Auto Schedule” Profile Option
2.    Auto Schedule Check box on Transaction Type window on the Shipping Tab

Select the Auto Schedule check box if you want automatic scheduling for this order type. This is applicable only to order transaction types.


3.    Auto Schedule using the Tools Menu when entering the Order


The Scheduling level on the order transaction type determines what type of scheduling is allowed. The possible values are:
•        ATP Only
•        No Reservations
•        Allow All Scheduling Actions
•        Inactive Demand With Reservations
•        Inactive Demand Without Reservations

    Hi Kishore,

    We have request date column in sales order header level, when we select copy option in Actions button, the copied Order(New Order) should have the request date to be null, even though the Source order has request date

Sub Ledger Accounting SLA (Complete Functional Information)

SubLegder Accounting in R12 SLA Part -1 In these article, we will explore the very basics of SLA and why it exists. Firstly, what exactly does SLA do? SLA is a module which now sits between the SubLedgers like AP/AR etc and the General Ledger. Have a look at this diagram below.  As you will notice, SLA can act as a mediator between the subledgers and Oracle General Ledger. Before we progress, some terminologies of R12 must be revisited. In 11i we had set of books, and in R12 we call them Ledgers. Likewise in R12 we also have secondary ledgers and reporting ledgers. Hence from 11i perspective think of Ledger as Set of Books. As for Subledger, a Subledger is nothing but a module like AP/AR/PO/Inventory etc. In the diagram below, the second scenario is explained whereby let's say that payables module generates a charge account segment combination for an invoice distribution line as A.B.C.D. In such case, if SLA module is not customized, then the very same A.B.C.D

Difference between ATO and PTO in oracle apps

Difference between ATO and PTO in oracle apps 1) MAKE TO ORDER: This is based on Customer specification, you make the product and supply it to them. This is applicable for Engineering items or any Product which you can make based on Customer order Example: Engineering Items 2) ASSEMBLE TO ORDER: This is you have items in parts and it needs to be assembled according to customer requirements For example you have Laptop coming with standard configuration of 160GB Hard disk and 1 GB RAM. But there are customer orders coming in asking for 200GB Hard Disk and 2 GB RAM and if you can assemble them to suit Customer Requirement 3) CONFIGURE TO ORDER: This is Configuring the Product itself to suit Customer requirements Example. The Thread Manufacturing unit Machineries are configured. I have seen Laxmi Machine Works in INDIA which manufactures textile Machineries configure the machineries based on No.of spindles 4) PICK TO ORDER: This is same as Computer Example in ATO. But the  difference is
