Organization Specific Collections

Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning supports organization-specific collections, which

helps you in maintaining independent planning processes in independent business units of a company
that is running a single instance of the Oracle e-Business Suite.

You can run collections for collecting data from only specified organizations of a source
instance. This helps you in elimination of unnecessary data collection from organizations that are not
planned in your planning process and reduce the processing time.

Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning allows organization-specific collection for:

 Standard collections:
o Complete refresh method
o Net change refresh method
o Targeted refresh method
 Continuous collections

Note: Organization-specific collection is not available for legacy collections.

Creating Supply Chain Plans

You can have multiple supply chain plans. Before you launch a plan for the first time you must name it.

In addition to creating a plans by creation, you can create a new plan by copying information from one
plan to it. Do this if you want to:

 Save the results of a particular plan run before you re-run the plan
 Begin using a new plan name with the results of the latest run of another plan.
 Create a new plan with the same plan options as an existing plan

To create a global supply chain plan

1. From the Navigator, choose Supply Chain Plan > Names.

The Supply Chain Names window appears.
