Key Changes and Benefits

Key Changes Benefits
▪ Standardized supply plans and forecast templates across brands, ▪ Enable online sharing of supply forecast and collaborating
regions and sourcing offices capacity with vendors
▪ Common capacity buckets: VF fiscal month and week ▪ ONE view of supply forecast vs capacity match
▪ Harmonized production end date concept for capacity view
▪ New attributes and season indicator, e.g. construction type ▪ Dedicated supply plan to cater different phases and needs of
▪ Each sourcing office and brand run the process individually forecast from MHP, pre-season to in-season
▪ No change on process for raw materials planning and master ▪ Supply Plan enables auto PO netting functions
data management – continue as is
▪ Eliminate a portion of offline and manual Excel exchange
▪ Supply plan supports online capacity collaboration on platform
enabled with reason and dialogue ▪ Facilitate buy guidance discussion with one view of supply
▪ Infor supply plan is not a planning tool, offline capacity planning forecast by regions/markets, confirmed and unconfirmed PO
tools will still continue as is, mitigation plans continue to be done and capacity
offline until ETE ▪ Create visibility - Accessibility for supply plan and capacity
▪ Capacity view in supply plan can be downloaded from Infor situation across brands, planning teams and divisions
▪ Aggregating capacity view across different attributes to be done
offline in short to mid term, e.g. capacity offered for vulcanized all
VF brands, with VFAP being a mid term solution

Overview
• Supply Plan Collaboration allows VF to collaborate with the vendors/factories on forecasts and capacities.
These plans follow distinct tracks/processes.
Forecast Time Frequency of SKU Level Plan
Plan Purpose
Span Vendor Commitment availability
MHP Long-term forecast based on regional requirements for the vendors to confirm. Multiple years. Once per month. No
Pre-Season Seasonal supply plan for the vendors to confirm capacity commitments and Up to three years. Once per month. Yes*
Development pre-build quantities.
Forecast
Pre-Season Reconfirmation of the capacity commitments and pre-build quantities in a Up to three years. Once per month. Yes*
Production shorter horizon than the Development Forecast.
Forecast
In-Season Reconfirmation of the capacity commitments and pre-build quantities on a Up to three years. Once per week. Yes*
Forecast more granular basis.
*Note: The SKU level plan information is stored in a plan that is not collaborated on, Synchronized with PO QTYs, nor includes any System Calculated fields.
The SKU level plan will include Key Item attributes that are not in the related collaborative plan, e.g., SKU attributes are dropped in the collaborative plan.
• VF will send/upload the data of the Supply plan to the Infor Nexus platform for the designated party to collaborate.
The designated party will negotiate or confirm the plan.
• The Primary PO date is the Planned Production Date on the Supply Plan.
• VF and the vendor can use either the system UI or the Work In Excel function to perform batch updates.
Overview
• Multiple Supply Plan Views have been implemented for VF Forecasts.
• New Supply Plan is created via the Upload Process.
• Different Views to Supply Plan are used by VF or the vendor to maintain and review forecasts and capabilities.
• SKU level Supply Plan is stored and aggregated to generate Collaboration level plans, in Pre-Season and In-
Season Forecasts.
• Via Supply Plan, all PO Quantity matches the Supply Plan’s Item Attributes and Period (a.k.a. Position):
• Primary PO date is the Planned/Revised Production End Date.
• The Unit of Measure (UOM) will be the lowest quantity available, e.g. if the UOM for 3 pairs of socks is 1 Each,
then the Collab values (Forecast, Capacity, etc.) will be at the lower level, i.e. Pair.
• POs will also have quantities at the same level and will be used to sum up the PO quantity in the Supply Plan.
• Supply Plans can be filtered by:
• Item Attributes
• Non-Period Key Fields
• Date Periods: User defines an anchor date at their discretion, from this period the system will return up to 51
periods (25 forward and 25 backward from a given date)
• Period Key Fields
• Notifications
• Vendor/Factory Code (VF users only)
Supply Plan Views

In the supply plan forecast template, data format and options must strictly follow the design; otherwise, plan upload may fail
The following data formats, among others, must be correctly inputted:
▪ Forecast Indicator: MHP/Pre-Season/In-Season only
▪ Brands should always be upper case
The followings are the VF Supply Plan Views:

Supply Plan Collaboration: Specific Instructions for

Vendors/Factories
• The vendors/factories will manually update the supply plan using either the Excel download functionality or directly
using Infor Nexus UI.
• The vendors maintain data in the plan for each time period, e.g.:
- Max Capacity
- Committed Capacity
- Factory Internal Prebuild Volumes
- Reason Codes
- Comments etc.
• If a value in Capacity quantity is deleted in the UI or Work in Excel, it will be populated with 0.
Note: This only applies if there was a previously entered value that is more than 0.
• The vendor users can only enter a positive value (including "0") in Capacity/Production Line Output, or there will
be an error.

What is the zerolizing feature in SPC ?
• The Zerolizing feature enables SPC user to reset fields in Supply Plans.
• In business context, zerolizing of forecast is needed as forecasts from past uploads may no longer apply and
forecasts shift to a different PED bucket may cause duplication of forecast values.
• The Zerolizing feature is available for following fields:
o Monthly Plan \ Maximum Capacity, maintained by vendor only
o Monthly Plan \ Committed Capacity, maintained by vendor only
o Weekly Plan \ Maximum Capacity, maintained by vendor only
o Weekly Plan \ Committed Capacity, maintained by vendor only
