Review and Improve Your Demand Fulfillment

To improve the demand fulfillment of your plan, use the Demand Fulfillment table to review the at-risk demands in your plan and their related recommendations. You can take actions to accept recommendations from this page.

In the Demand Fulfillment UI, you can:

View prioritized at-risk demands based on order values weighted by the number of associated recommendations.

Take actions to accept or mark recommendations as complete.

Review summary information provided for the current demand fulfillment position of your plan to analyze the potential for improvement based on selected at-risk demands. The information also provides an understanding of the expected demand fulfillment position based on accepted and completed recommendations.

To review and improve your demand fulfillment:

In a Supply Planning, Planning Central, or Demand and Supply work area, select the Manage Plans task.

On the Manage Plans page, search for and open your plan.

In the Page Layout list, select Plan Summary.

Note that the tiles in the Plan Summary layout include a Demand at Risk in thousands tile.

In the Demand at Risk in thousands tile, click the Select Tile bar to review the Demand at Risk Summary data.

You can review the demand at risk data through a treemap view or a table view, the treemap view is the default. To switch to the table view, click the Show Table icon.

To review the demand at risk data:

Using the treemap: Click an area in the treemap. Typically, you want to start with the area that has the highest demand at risk value. From the Drill To actions, click Demand Fulfillment.

Using the table: Click the Show Table icon. In the Demand at Risk Summary table, click a cell. Typically, you want to start with the cell that has the highest demand at risk value. From the Drill To actions, click Demand Fulfillment.

The Demand Fulfillment UI shows the individual orders that are at-risk and their related recommendations.

Tip: You can open the Demand Fulfillment table directly without drilling from the Plan Summary. After you open a plan, click the Open button at the page level. In the Open Table, Graph, or Tile Set dialog box, search for and select the Demand Fulfillment table. In the Demand Fulfillment UI, you can search for at-risk demands by using the filter fields in the search panel.

The statement that “Supply plans ignore items with the ‘planning method’ attribute set to MPP” is incorrect. Items with this planning method are included as long as relevant configurations are active. All other statements are true, reflecting how item attributes interact with Oracle Planning Cloud functionalities​

QUESTION NO: 22

As Materials Manager, you are always attentive to Finance ' s concern about high inventory levels. To that end, you arranged to off-load procurement and storage of several expensive components to become the responsibility of your contract manufacturer. You modified the bills of material accordingly. You thought this would satisfy Finance, but they complained to you that even though production levels have remained flat, they are not seeing a reduction in inventory.

What is the problem?

A. The " supplier " box for the " Supply Types to Include " plan option of Manage Plans has not been deselected.

B. The " supplier " box in Manage Plant Parameters has not been deselected.

C. The supply type has not been changed to " supplier " for the affected components in the Item Structures of the contracted items.

D. The " supplier " box on the Organization tab in Maintain Supply Network Model has not been deselected.

Answer: C

When transitioning procurement responsibility to a contract manufacturer, it is essential to adjust the supply type of the contracted items to " supplier " within the item structures. This change ensures that the inventory associated with these components reflects their new procurement source, helping reduce your reported inventory levels. Without this adjustment, Oracle Planning may still consider these items as being managed internally, thus failing to reflect the reduction in inventory as anticipated​

To implement project-driven supply planning with demand and supply netting based on attributes such as country of origin, the “Manage Attribute and Project Netting Rules” task is necessary. This task allows combining attribute-based and project-specific criteria to meet complex planning requirements​

Key flexfields are not typically used as a source for planning attributes in Oracle Planning and Collaboration Cloud. Instead, extensible and descriptive flexfields are more commonly utilized as planning attributes for various transactions and items, such as sales orders and purchase requisitions​
