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 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. Oracle Demand Planning also uses athird instance,
anExpress 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 two 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 being that the
decentralized configuration requires the use of database links to pull data into the MSC data store.
APS nomenclature employs Source and Destination when speaking of the ERP transaction data store and the
planning data. Data, at the source, is collected into the destination or operational datastore (ODS) where
planning activities occur. If a centralized configuration 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 both 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 to 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 below.

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 history 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 leadtimes, 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 Flow 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 returned 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 concurrent programs, flexfields, profile options, and database objects on the 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 destination (planning)
instance. This database link will be referenced in a newly created 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 flexfield segments to hold global ATP data at the item, BOM, routing, and resource levels. The
same process, including warnings and suggestions, 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 source. This concurrent program is available in the
Advanced Supply Chain Planner responsibility created earlier. The process has no parameters to be set
at run time. Verify that the process completes 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 the 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 time 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 Scheduling. 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 multiple 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 ASCPs powerful mathematical optimization capabilities.
Backward Compatibility. Oracle ASCPs component architecture allow it to be deployed against
any combination of Oracle 11 and Oracle 11i transaction systems.
Workflow-Driven Exception Messaging. Oracle ASCPs 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 ASCPs database-centric architecture stores plan data in a central
planning server database. These data are accessible from Oracle Advanced Supply 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 ASCPs Advanced 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 Planners 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 ERP System and Transaction System.
Destination System also called as ASCP System 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
Oracle Application database. If the query returns row (showing the presence of the patch) then you
dont 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 postinstallation steps.
Patch the Source System (ERP System)
