Oracle Order Management - Version 12.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide Oracle Customers with a good understanding of the Scheduling process and the profiles and setup steps required to obtain the desired scheduling
results.
SCOPE
This document helps the Support Engineers and Oracle Customers to understand basic scheduling concepts within Order Management and also addresses the functionality of scheduling in
detail along with business scenarios.
This page describes in detail about the various profile options and setups which affect Scheduling.
Screen shots and testing of sample insert scripts in this page were done in a 12.1.2 Oracle Vision Instance.
DETAILS
Introduction:
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 items
* Populate the Schedule ship date, arrival date and last acceptable date based on the calculated ATP Date
* Performs the reservation based on Scheduled Ship Date
* Calculates the delivery lead time based on as ship method
* Prevents over demand by setting the items attribute Check ATP
Scheduling also allows you to check ATP (Available to Promise), and display availability automatically as soon as the line is entered. Setup is required to perform ATP on an item. A sample
scenario is provided in the testflow for ATP item below. From the availability window, ATP availability button guides to APS's Global ATP window to view availability across the global supply
chain.
This page describes in detail about the various profile options and setups, which affect the scheduling.
Functional Overview
Sales order line would be scheduled for both the ATP as well non-ATP items based on the availability of the item. When scheduling is not performed during sales order entry (either manually
or automatically), then as part of standard functionality, scheduling will be done by the workflow process.
Scheduling is done by the workflow process associated with the order line (OEOL). For example: Considering the Line Flow Generic work flow Once the order is Booked, the workflow
completes the Booking activity and proceed to the next stage i.e. Scheduling. This is when Scheduling is performed.
Open the process 'Line Flow - Generic' in the Workflow Builder. The 'Line Flow - Generic' process looks as below
* 'Line Flow Generic' Process

Double click on the 'Enter - Line'subprocess, it will open the subprocess which looks as below
* 'Enter - Line' Subprocess

Order will wait at "Wait for Booking" till booking action is performed. The work flow will progress to next stage.
Double click on the 'Schedule - Line' subprocess in 'Line Flow - Generic' process. Double clicking opens 'Schedule - Line' subprocess which looks as below
* 'Schedule - Line' Subprocess

Once the line is scheduled, SCHEDULE_SHIP_DATE is populated into the OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL.
The SCHEDULE_SHIP_DATE should be a value between the REQUEST_DATE and the LATEST_ACCEPTABLE_DATE.

Table Level Changes
Scheduling sets the VISIBLE_DEMAND_FLAG, SCHEDULE_STATUS_CODE as soon as the lines are scheduled. The two columns are independent and are not based on the setups
Scheduling controls following sets of data along with the above.
SCHEDULE_ARRIVAL_DATE
SCHEDULE_SHIP_DATE
LATEST_ACCEPTABLE_DATE
SHIPPING_METHOD, if the shipping network is set up
DELIVERY_LEAD_TIME, if the shipping network is set up
SHIP_FROM_ORG_ID (Warehouse)
VISIBLE_DEMAND_FLAG is set to yes when the line is scheduled. Demand is visible to the planning applications when the line is scheduled.
SCHEDULE_STATUS_CODE is set to the SCHEDULED

Events Controlling Scheduling
Scheduling happens during any one of the following events
1. Automatic scheduling upon entry
2. Manual Scheduling upon entry
3. Scheduling during booking
4. Scheduling after Booking

Automatic scheduling upon entry
OM: Auto Schedule
If the profile OM: Auto Schedule is set to Yes, then line is scheduled at the time of saving. i.e. Scheduling is done at the moment if cursor is moved from current line or Block, to next line or
Block, manual save.
Ship Sets and Arrival Sets
You can include lines in Ship Sets or Arrival Sets depending on how you want to group them. Ship Sets and Arrival Sets are based on similar dates: Ship Set (Schedule Ship Date) and Arrival
Set (Schedule Arrival Date). Refer to the documentation for further details.
Go to the Shipping tab of the order lines and notice the Ship Set and Arrival Set fields. The following methods can be used to set a value in these fields.
1) Enter a value directly in one of these fields.
2) Right click on the order line and go to Sets > New > Ship Set to create a new ship set, or Sets > Add to Set > Ship Sets to add to an existing set.
3) When entering the order header, enter either Ship or Arrival in the Line Sets field (Others tab). This will set the ship set or arrival set field in the order lines by default.
4) To set a default value in the Line Sets field from the Others tab, set up Defaulting Rules for the entity 'Order Header', Attribute 'Line Sets'.
Following screen shot shows one of the places the default value can be set up Customer Level. Navigation is Customers > Standard Customers > Query Customer > Click on Customer link >

Order Management Tab
When lines are entered into a Ship Set or Arrival Set, the scheduling would be done on saving the lines.
Why does the scheduling happen while using the Ship Set or Arrival Set?
All of the lines in the set would have the same value for Schedule Ship Date. However we do have option to include
lines of same order in different ship set / Arrival set.
Order entry processing uses the warehouse, ship to location, shipment priority, and shipment method for scheduling
If the default Order Header value for sets is set to Ship, and
a. if the profile option, "OM: Assign new set for each line," is set to "N," Order Management will automatically determine the earliest Scheduled Ship Date, based upon your setup, and create a
common ship set for all order lines in that order.
b. if the profile "OM: Assign new set for each line," is set to "Y," Order Management will automatically determine the earliest Scheduled Ship Date, based upon your setup, and create a unique
ship set for each line in an order.

Tools > Auto Schedule
If the Auto Schedule flag is set from the sales order line, the lines will get scheduled when they are saved.
The Auto Schedule set flag can be set by following ways:
1) Setting the profile OM: Auto Schedule to Yes
2) Setting the Transaction Type > Shipping Tab > Auto Schedule flag

Verify the Scheduling Levels on Transaction Types:
8/29/13 Document Display
https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_adf.ctrl-state=lzxw9q0cg_203 5/30
The scheduling level on the order transaction type determines what type of scheduling is allowed. The possible values for this are:
ATP Only - You will not be able to schedule or reserve lines on the order. This could be used for Bill-Only or Bill-Only with Inventory Interface flows, or possibly for quoting scenarios.
No Reservations - You can perform all scheduling functions except for reserving inventory.
Allow All Scheduling Actions - All scheduling actions can be performed.
Inactive Demand With Reservations - You can manually enter any schedule date, but the system does not schedule. The line can be reserved. The schedule date is not visible to MRP /
APS. This functionality is only for standard items, and it does not support ship or arrival sets.
Inactive Demand Without Reservations - You can manually enter any schedule date, but the system does not schedule. No reservation can be placed on the line. The schedule date is
not visible to MRP/APS. This functionality is only for standard items, and it does not support ship or arrival sets.
3) Manual checking
If profile OM: Auto Schedule is set to No and the Transactin Type Auto Schedule is not checked, then Auto Schedule needs to be manually checked. Navigate to Tools > Auto Schedule from
the Sales Order forms.

Manual Scheduling Upon Entry
If the profile OM: Auto Schedule is set to No, then line is not scheduled at the time of order entry. This would require manual scheduling or this is postponed till booking activity. Three ways to
do manual scheduling
1) Tools > Scheduling > Schedule
2) Enter the Schedule Ship Date (or the Schedule Arrival Date if the Order Date Type in order header is 'Arrival')
3) Keep the cursor on the line > Right Click > Scheduling > Schedule
Scheduling during Booking
When scheduling is not performed during sales order entry (either manually or automatically), then as part of standard functionality, scheduling will be done by the workflow process at the
time of booking.
Scheduling is done by the work flow process associated with the order line. For example: Consider the Line Flow Generic work flow. Once the order is Booked, Workflow completes the
Booking activity and proceed to the next stage i.e. Scheduling. This is when Scheduling is performed.
Open the process 'Line Flow - Generic' in the Workflow Builder. The 'Line Flow - Generic' process looks as below
* 'Line Flow Generic' Process
Double click on the 'Enter - Line' subprocess, it will open the subprocess which looks as below
* 'Enter Line' Subprocess
Order will wait at Wait for Booking until Booking action is performed. Workflow will progress to the next stage. Double click on the 'Schedule - Line' subprocess in 'Line Flow - Generic'
process. Double clicking opens 'Schedule - Line' subprocess which looks as below
8/29/13 Document Display
https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_adf.ctrl-state=lzxw9q0cg_203 6/30
* 'Schedule Line' Subprocess
The Schedule activity attempts to schedule the order line. If the Schedule activity returns a result of Incomplete or On Hold, the process moves to the Schedule - Eligible, activity. From there
the process must be manually progressed to return to the Schedule activity.
'Schedule' activity has the function OE_OEOL_SCH.SCHEDULE_LINE which performs the scheduling.
Scheduling after Booking
Scheduling after Booking can be achieved by two different work flow process, which has deferred activity before 'Schedule - Line' activity.
Deferred Scheduling
'Schedule - Line, Deferred' subprocess is identical to the 'Schedule - Line', except two new activities. An activity to determine whether the line is scheduled, and a defer activity.
The 'Schedule - Line, Deferred subprocess begins with the Start activity. The 'Is Line Scheduled' activity checks whether the line is scheduled or not.
If scheduling is complete or if the line is not eligible for scheduling, then the process ends and the work flow moves to next activity in the parent flow. If scheduling has not yet been completed,
the process moves to the 'Schedule - Deferred' activity. This activity moves scheduling to the background engine.
Manual Scheduling
From Release 12, a new scheduling sub-process named 'Schedule-Line, Manual' is introduced to control scheduling manually after the order is booked. If the new sub-process is used in the
line workflow, then after booking the order, lines are blocked at the 'Schedule - Eligible' activity. From 'Schedule - Eligible' activity the lines can be progressed from Sales Orders window or the
Schedule Orders concurrent program can be used to schedule the lines.
Scheduling Groups of Lines
The following table explains how does the ATP calculation, scheduling and reservations happens for different types of item.

Business Scenarios (Test Flows)
This section includes testflows to understand some common business scenarios around scheduling.
How does one control Scheduling after booking an Order?
As we have already seen either the lines get automatically scheduled or these are scheduled when the order is booked. But if you want to postpone scheduling still further
This can be achieved by two ways.
a. Changing of workflow definition
b. Applying hold at the time of order entry

Changing of work flow definition
Along with 'Schedule - Line, Deferred' a new sub process 'Schedule - Line, Manual' is introduced.
Deferred scheduling work flow process to be used in place of the default 'Schedule - Line' activity.
8/29/13 Document Display
https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_adf.ctrl-state=lzxw9q0cg_203 8/30
Deferred scheduling work flow process to be used in place of the default 'Schedule - Line' activity.
One of the above sub-process can be copied and customized to the generic line process.
For example let us consider Schedule - Line, Deferred here The process Schedule - Line, Deferred should be used in place of Schedule Line in the Line work flow.
1. Copy Line Flow Generic to some other name for example XX Line Flow -Generic.
2. Copy Schedule - Line Deferred sub process into the new work flow process XX Line Flow -Generic.
3. Replace this with the new one.
The new workflow would look as below:

Understanding Schedule Line, Deferred
Once booking is done then the workflow stops at Schedule Deferred status and this would remain at Schedule Deferred activity. Since this is a deferred activity, we need manual
intervention to push this further and this is done using the Workflow Background process request.
Applying hold at the time of order entry
Apply hold once the line is saved and when booking Could not Schedule. Line on Hold processing message pops up. Please apply the hold which is not an workflow activity-specific hold.
Note: If the hold is specific to workflow activity, then the Workflow Activity attached should be 'Line Scheduling' for Workflow Item 'OM Order Line' or Workflow Activity attached should be
'Book Order' for Workflow Item 'OM Order Header'
Sample Test case showing the above
1. Create an Order and apply the hold at the time of order entry.
2. Book the Order following error message pops up:

8/29/13 Document Display
https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_adf.ctrl-state=lzxw9q0cg_203 9/30

See the Order is Booked but Schedule Ship Date is not populated (Scheduling not done) and Order Line is on Hold.
Workflow status diagram shows:
Once the hold is released, one would need to select Actions > Progress Order on the line, or run the Schedule Order concurrent request to schedule the order.
Note: OM: Schedule Line on Hold should be set to No. If the profile is Yes, then the workflow would complete the scheduling activity.

Calculation of Latest Acceptable Date (LAD)
LAD is populated only when the Latest Schedule Limit (LSL) is provided at the time of order creation. Latest Schedule Limit is defaulted from the site level or customer level based on defaulting
rules.
Latest Acceptable Date (LAD) = Request Date + Latest Schedule Limit (LSL)
a. Set the Latest Schedule Limit
At Customer level:
b. Set Defaulting Rules:

Calculation of Schedule Arrival Date
Schedule Arrival Date = Schedule Ship Date + Delivery Lead Time
Delivery Lead Time needs to be calculated in order to calculate the Schedule Arrival Date. Delivery Lead Time is the Transit time taken. There are two possible ways to set this: Internal
Location Assigned to the Customer or by setting up Regions and Zones.


Internal Location Assigned to the Customer
Step 1
Identify the Ship To Address for which Delivery Lead time is to be specified

Test flow for ATP Item (calculation of Schedule Ship Date/ Available Date)
Available Date / Schedule Ship Date = Request date + Use defined time fence in ATP Rule i.e. For ATP items.
Scenario explains how to Schedule Ship Date / Available date for the ATP item is Request date + 1 day. Schedule Ship Date is the date on which the item can be shipped. It is based on the
material availability.
Create an ATP item
ATP item needs to be created i.e. Check ATP and ATP Rules needs to be set in Order Management.

In infinite Supply, select the option as User-defined time fence and days as 1.
Once the setups are completed
Usage of Calendars
Available date in the availability window would be populated based on the ATP Rule and Calendar.
For example make changes to the workday calendar for a period 01-Jan-1990 to 31-DEC-2015 to show infinite supply date is +1 (no weekends to consider).
To reflect the changes rebuild the calendar.

In this case Available Date / Schedule Ship Date = Request date + 1 day(s) (Use defined time fence in ATP Rule).

Timestamp Calculation
In scheduling time stamp is not considered, normally it would be 23:59:00 i.e. EOD. One exception to this is for Non ATPable items, the profile 'MSC: Retain Time for Non-ATPable Items,
which governs display of timestamps for only Non ATPable items only. When this profile option is 'Yes', then time stamp is copied from Requested Date.
Note: At the time of rescheduling it would consider the first scheduling time stamp
In case if the profile option is 'No' then for both ATPable and Non ATPable items, resources will be considered till end of day and always SSD will be end of the day i.e. 23:59:00.
Testflow for Reservations
If OM: Reservation Time Fence is set to a number greater than zero, then the reservation is created for the item as soon as the order is scheduled, if the schedule date is within the
reservation time fence window. The time fence is the system date plus the number of days specified in the profile. For example, if the profile is set to 30 days, then as long as the Schedule
Ship Date for the order is within the system date plus 30 days, then reservation is created.
The reservation is created once the line is scheduled either by manually or automatically.
To view the reservation details Click Tools > Scheduling > Reservation Details
Attributes Related to Scheduling
The following is a list of line attributes related to scheduling.
Request Date
Schedule Ship Date
Schedule arrival date
Warehouse
Ordered Quantity
Ordered Quantity UOM
Shipping Method
Delivery Lead Time
Demand Class
Customer
Inventory Item
Ship Set
Arrival Set
If there is a change in any of the above attributes rescheduling would happen, since they are dependent on each other. The exception for the above scenario is Request Date and Ship Method.
The Request Date and Ship Method can be controlled by two system parameters:
Reschedule with Request Date Change
Reschedule with Ship Method Change
If the above mentioned parameters are set to No, then Rescheduling will not happen even if the Request Date and Ship Method are changed and vise versa
Profiles and System Parameters related to Scheduling
1. Profiles
Following are profile options related to Scheduling. Refer to the documentation for further information.

Troubleshooting
How to link the OM debug file with ATP session debug?
a. Set the OM debug level and MSC: ATP Debug Mode to 'Debug and Database Trace' or 'Debug Only'. If you are currently using a decentralized instance, then the profile should be set at the
User level on the source (ERP) instance and the Site level on the destination (Planning) instance.
Use Tools > Debug and check the box to enable debug and get the file name returned in the popup.
b. After performing the ATP Scheduling or Availability check, use View >Requests > Submit a new request Diagnostics: OM Debug log file Retrieval - enter the log file name (lnumber.dbg)
c. After the request completes open the OUTPUT File and search using CTRL-F to find MRP API
d. The line should appear like the following in this example from an OM Debug log file:
