Introduction

The elements of doing business are constantly changing. Interest rates rise and fall,

customer preferences change, suppliers go out of business, and the list goes on and on. As

the factors that affect business change, the company forecasts must also change. In this time

of rapid change, accurate and timely forecasts have become even more important.Recognizing this is the first step in becoming a successful organization.

In Oracle ASCP, constrained master production plan that includes all manufacturing

facilities and all distribution facilities, drives plan with global forecasts to capture both sales

orders and forecasts.

Global forecasts are forecasts with no pre-specified ship from Organization associated to

forecasts. Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning supports global forecasting by using

Oracle Demand Planning scenarios as global forecasts. The forecasts from Oracle Demand

Planning are fed into the planning engine as demand schedules, which can be consumed

without any reference to a ship from organization. Sourcing rules can be used to distributethe consumed forecasts and sales orders to appropriate shipping facilities. This helps in

using existing supplies across multiple shipping organizations effectively and making more

accurate forecast consumption.

Problem Statement

Individual organization forecast gives wrong forecast quantities which lead to

overstating the demands. For this problem, global forecast consumption will be the best

solution.

Business Requirements

Sales orders from all manufacturing and distribution facilities should beconsidered in forecast consumption (i.e. Global forecast consumption).

Forecast from all orgs less shipment quantities will be loaded through customprogram (BPEL) every month in Global forecast set.

This net forecast is exploded by SI Forecast Consumption & Load program. This program will consume forecast by sales orders based on consumption

rule set in Global org and then spread it in weekly buckets.

This unconsumed forecast will be stored in automatically generated Globalforecast set.

ATP plans are copied from ASCP and DRP plans (Tick ATP flag) with noforecast set defined in plan options.

Run SIATP-1 request set under BV Advanced Supply Chain Planning SuperUser. This will collect data and run DRP-ATP plan.
