Gain Insights on Lead Times for Purchased Items
What does it do?

This Planning advisor provides the ability get

timely variance alerts:
• Lead-time anomalies and recommendations

- Informs about deviations of purchase lead times from

their planned lead times

- Provides deeper insights into variance performance

at an item level for all suppliers

- Highlights the orders impacted due to deviation

- Allows variance events to be reviewed periodically

- Applicable to Demand and Supply and supply plans

Gain Insights on Lead Times for Purchased Items
What does it do?

This feature provides the ability to review

detailed variance performance:
• Lead time variances by Supplier and Category

- Provides insights on the severity of variances

ordered by Supplier, Category and Items with
variance

- Allows you to review variance details at an Item-

Supplier-Supplier site level

- Filter results based on a date criteria and user-

adjustable variance threshold
Gain Insights on Lead Times for Purchased Items
What does it do?
Review item-supplier performance

The Supplier tab enables in-depth analysis of

variance performance:
• Historical and Suggested lead time Review statistics

- A summary of Item Supplier level delivery

performance indicating planned vs historical lead
time, min and max range of variance, variance Adjust lead times
percentage and variance days Save to simulation sets
- Review suggested lead times and adjust lead
time to reflect historical lead time and feed it
back to planning through simulation sets
Gain Insights on Lead Times for Purchased Items
What does it do?

This Order details page provides the ability to

investigate shipment receipts over time:
• Order details table and lead-time trend chart

- Investigate historical order level details for item,

supplier and supplier site for a category

- Review an item’s historical lead time and

variance to plan, with details of purchase order
lines and their order, ship and receipt dates

- Understand the trend of shipment history and

determine the accuracy of planned lead time
as compared to actual performance

Lead-time insights – Computation of Historical Lead-time and variances

• The Lead-time insights are computed based on historical variances in comparison to the Processing
Lead-time(LT) maintained in the Approved Supplier List(ASL) table
• The Historical Lead-time(LT) is the calculated as the mean of all receipts for an Item-Supplier-
Supplier Site combination and is the difference between the actual Order date and the actual Ship
date less Pre-processing Lead-time(LT)
• The lead time calculation considers the Supplier Capacity Calendar which respects the non-working
days

Key considerations

• For EBS source systems, the standard integration does not include the purchase order shipment
receipts history. However, you can use the hooks in the extraction process to extract the receipts
history into ScpPurchaseOrderRcvHistoryImportTemplate.csv (Purchase Order Receipt History
Import Control File) and upload the same into SCP Cloud using Load Planning Data Files.
• The Generate Insights job process from the Configuration UI executes the new ‘Generate Data
Insights for Planning’ ESS job and may be scheduled like other ESS jobs
• Access to the lead-time insights page is controlled using the below privileges:
• MSC_MANAGE_LEAD_TIME_INSIGHTS_PRIV

• FND_MANAGE_SCHEDULED_JOB_DEFINITION_PRIV

• All users who have access to this page have full access to all the data and data security filters are not applied
