Launch Supply Chain Plan

Hi All:
I am using Advanced Supply Chain Planning tool in conjunction with Oracle Process Manufacturing for material & resource level planning. As part of the process I did all the needed setups and got to the point of Running the Supply Chain Planning Process. However After I launch the process, the parent process has triggered a bunch of child concurrent requests in the background. And I have been stuck with the concurrent requests running forever in the last 8 hours without completion. The status is "normal" and "running" for all concurrent requests..
Navigation:
Advanced Supply Chain Planner
Navigate: Supply Chain Plan - Workbench
Any idea why ?

Hi,
for what I saw many reasons can cause this kind of stuck.
1) Check if there are some locks on the MSC tables, maybe is the reason why it does not go through.
Usually the concurrent (I suppose you are stuck at the memory based snapshot) creates a BIG log file. Check if the log file goes on.
2) Once the Snapshot was incredibly slow due to some loop in the BOM. Since you are working on process manufacturing the loop should be in the recipe. You should see if there is a loop in the log.
3) Stop the concurrent if he goes beyond any acceptable time and try to create a very small plan, with just few item, a week of planning time and one demand. Try to use some dummy supersimple data. If the plan goes fine it means that probably you have some issues on the data you feed the system. (i.e. Loop or too much things).
4) I am not sure if this apply but maybe you have some sort of limitation on the maximum number of concurrent that can run simultaneously. We had something similar and if I well remember some concurrents where waiting for other to finish but the others could not start do to a limitation on the maximum concurrent. (check in sysadmin for this).
Hope it helps

  • Launch Supply Chain Planning Process - Significance of Anchor Date

    While Launching plan, there is a parameter Anchor date. It defaults to current. We can change this to any past date. What is the significance of this?
    Our client has a requirement - They want to see the forecast demand for current month (though today's date is 6th Mar, they want to see from 1st Mar). I tried changing Anchor date to 01-Mar. This did not pull past data.
    Past forecast is pulled only when I change "Past Due Forecast Days" in ASCP Parameters.
    Can some one exaplain what change is supply/demand we can see by changing anchor date?
    Thanks,

  • Mobile supply chain planning

    Where can i get details about oracle mobile supply chain planning?
    Thanks in advance.
    G.R.RAMESH

    Dear Amr,
    When dealing with Oracle concerning the planing process, we can use one of the following methods:
    1- Traditional Planning (Forecast>MDS>MPS>MRP); this is the favor method when you have one organization setup in the system.
    2- Oracle Supply Chain Planning method; this is used if you have more than one organization setup in the system; i.e. if you have distribution inventory organization, raw material inventory organization, and finished good inventory organization separates from each others.
    3- Advanced Supply Chain Planning.
    My question is how to setup the second type (Supply Chain Planning)? , any body has an idea?

  • Supply Chain Planning

    Dears,
    Any one has any document; rather than Oracle official docs, dealing with the supply chain planning not the traditional planning.
    I deal with a situation, that is implementing oracle for an organization that has three separate inventory organizations; one for raw material, one for finished products and the last one is for the scrap.
    From my own point of view the suitable implementation is use the supply chain planning. Please advice?

  • SNP resource overload alerts not appearing in Supply Chain Cockpit

    I am using APO 5.1.
    We use APO SNP for capacity planning, and can see various capacity overload alerts in the alert monitor.
    But even though the Supply Chain Cockpit is linked to the correct alert profile, we do not see these alerts attached to the respective objects in the Supply Chain Cockpit.
    Any ideas on why this should be?...

    Hello,
    If you want to use the Alert Monitor within the Supply Chain Cockpit (SCC) in SAP APO, you must assign application-specific alert profiles to your SCC user profile. In the upper right area of the SCC, you can see the existing alerts for the applications.
    Please look into the below link for more information:

  • Sales Order Stock Configuration across the Supply Chain

    Dear Colleagues,
    here's my query. This is more related to configuring Make To Order on R/3 Side.
    As a Requirement, my client would want that across the supply chain, to trace the stocks relevant for a particular Sales Order. One way I came across was using Sales Order Stock.
    The Product Flow Network is like :
    Plant > BSR > WH1 > WH2 > Invoicing Point.
    (- No Planned Movement Doc in Plant-BSR) > STO(B-W) > InterCo PO(W1-W2) > STO(W2-Inv. Point)
    What I would like to know is that using MTO strategy and Sales Order Stock, how can we configure the following scenario?
    1. Sales Order is Created with Account Assignment
    2. InterCompany STO and InterPlant STO can be created with Account Assignment Category Type 'E' and reference to the Sales Order-Item No.
    3. Using STOs at BSR, Propogate the Demand to Plant, create a Planned Order with Account Assignment and Sales Order Reference.
    4. Production and subsequent GR to Sales Order Stock at BSR
    5. Subsqeuent Deliveries only against the Relevant STOs and GR to Sales Order Stock at all locations in the network.
    I would like to highlight that the need for identification of linking SO to Production Order is only from the stage of SKU-production order at the plant to utpo final delivery from the Invoicing plant.
    regards,
    Sudhir
    Edited by: Sudhir  Gulati on Jul 23, 2008 12:05 PM

    Typically MTO situation is better modeled in PPDS since it does pegging through the network. In SNP we typically do dynamic pegging and hence it will be difficult to link the sales order all the way to production order. Having said that SNP does take into account available resource for planning some of which could have been consumed by MTO orders. This perhaps may not be helpful to your scenario.
    As I said dynamic pegging is done with SNP. So when you use SNP in the network, you can basically check the product view to see the supply-demand links. (/sapapo/rrp3) These links are indicative and you should be able to use them for tracing purposes.

  • Supply chain modeling of subcontraction process using SNP

    Dear Experts,
    I am in the phase of designing my  supply chain business process  in APO
    We have two plants
    Plant u2013 A (manufacturing )
    Plant u2013 B (distribution center)
    Subcontractors  - for Plant A
    Subcon-1 
    Subcon-2 
    Subcon-3
    Subcon-4
    Subcon-5
    Subcon-6
    Subcon-7
    Demand planning /forecast is done on the basis of 
    Customer
    Products
    And Plant
    When forecast is done in demand planning an send to SNP , system must give planned order on the basis of  available capacity , low cost of production  of the my subcontractor  ,I believe I need to use SNP optimization
    Does SNP Optimizer can serve my requirement
    Also how do I need to define my subcontractor  either as DC location or just a MRP area
    Please do not hesitate to ask more details if you are not clear my requirement
    Thanks & Regard
    Raj

    Hi Raju,
    The Optimizer should serve your requirement as it considers the capacity constraints and can be used for finite planning. Regarding subcontracting location , you can map it as either a DC location or a Subcontractor location. Better way would be to map it as a subcontracting location. Mapping it as just MRP area would not serve as you want it to consider during the finite planning runs for optimizer.
    Let me know if it helps

  • Multilevel Supply Chain ATP

    Hi,
    I like to understand the setup for checking inventory one step level up from 3 primary distribution center which currently configure for global avaliability, by customer region instance assignment set.
    We collect data by planning output . We do have DRP plan .
    How can I promise inventory to any of the PDC from the main org , which can transfer inventory to the Primary distribution centers?
    Note: we do not want to source from main org to customer.
    Ex: No product avaliable in any of the distribution centers. Main Org have sufficient product. If the customer place order for that particular product to any one of the PDC..Can I promise a date ( a week or so ) which includes the time to place a transfer order + lead time ?
    What are the primary steps involved. Please explain ?

    Today, any integrated system must include 'supply chain' as a part of the system. It has to have a 'chain link' to the extent of input suppliers & output customers, and beyond.

  • Use of Supply Chain Engineer

    Hi,
      What's the use of Supply Chain Engineer (Tcode:/SAPAPO/SCC07)? Does the APO implementation project really needs it?
    And let me know in which case do we generally use it.
    - Ram.

    Hi Ram,
    This is fully integrated APO component for creating models
    which performs planning functions which covers network
    chain, supplier, customer.
    We can use this functionality to create & maintain models
    in a network in a typical supply chain.   A model in turn can
    link to various versions (both active and simulations). 
    We can also have an eye watch of supply chain elements
    like various products, master data like lanes, quota, resources,
    ppm etc., 
    We can also use this tool to execute queries so that it comes
    with information about individual data.

  • Supply Chain Cockpit

    Hi all,
    can any one please explain me the purpose, working and application of the SCC in detail ???
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    PP

    Hi PP,
    The Supply Chain Cockpit (SCC) consists of a highly intuitive, graphical interface that acts as the top enterprise planning layer covering all planning areas such as manufacturing, demand, distribution, and transportation.
    All employees in the Plan -> Source -> Make -> Deliver cycle of supply chain management can use it to their advantage
    As the gateway to SAP APO, the SCC makes dealing with a vast supply chain easier and more manageable. SCC allows you to:
    Create individual work areas so several planners can work simultaneously on different parts of a supply chain.
    View the supply chain from all angles, down to the smallest detail, to minimize the complexity of the relationships among supply chain components.
    Measure supply chain performance with KPIs (key performance indicators) that are stored in SAP Business Intelligence (SAP BI).
    Respond immediately and accurately to new developments by tracking alert situations.
    The SCC can be configured to suit conditions within a wide variety of industries and business situations.
