5 DEMAND MANAGEMENT FILTER TABLES BY CONFIGURE-TO-ORDER MODEL Focus your analysis on one model and the relevant options using the new pivot table filter. STORE PLAN DATA AT AGGREGATE TIME LEVELS Store the demand signal data at aggregate time levels, such as week or month, and avoid disaggregating to the daily level for forecasting. FORECAST AND CONSUME INTERNAL ORDERS Model transfer orders as independent demand. You can model transfer orders as independent demand during the forecasting and forecast consumption processes when only the source location, not the destination location, needs to be planned. UPDATE PLANNING TABLE DATA FOR SUPPLY CHAIN PLANS USING A REST SERVICE Ensure interoperability of Oracle Supply Chain Planning Cloud with other applications by allowing for updates of plan data in a table using a REST API. SUPPLY PLANNING FILTER SUPPLIES AND DEMANDS BY COMPARING DATE ATTRIBUTES Filter orders on the Supplies and Demands page using the query conditions that compare date attributes on the order. FORECAST AND CONSUME INTERNAL ORDERS Model transfer orders as independent demand. You can model transfer orders as independent demand during the forecasting and forecast consumption processes when only the source location, not the destination location, needs to be planned. CALCULATE SAFETY STOCK BASED ON MULTIPLE DEMAND SCHEDULES Calculate the safety stock levels by incorporating all demand schedules that are configured in the supply plan. CONFIGURE MEASURES TO REDUCE PLANNING CYCLE TIMES Decide which dimensions are applicable to measures to increase the planning performance. By calculating supply planning measures only in the dimensions you require, you can optimize data volumes and significantly improve query times. 5

6 UPDATE PLANNING TABLE DATA FOR SUPPLY CHAIN PLANS USING A REST SERVICE Ensure interoperability of Oracle Supply Chain Planning Cloud with other applications by allowing for updates of plan data in a table using a REST API. SALES AND OPERATIONS PLANNING CONFIGURE SALES AND OPERATIONS PLANNING CYCLE STAGES Modify the names of the predefined S&OP planning cycle stages and select which stages apply to your S&OP process. Oracle Sales and Operations Planning Cloud contains process templates for five commonly used stages of the S&OP process, such as Demand Review. You can now configure these stages to tailor them to your company-specific S&OP process. UPDATE PLANNING TABLE DATA FOR SUPPLY CHAIN PLANS USING A REST SERVICE Ensure interoperability of Oracle Supply Chain Planning Cloud with other applications by allowing for updates of plan data in a table using a REST API. PLANNING CENTRAL CALCULATE SAFETY STOCK BASED ON MULTIPLE DEMAND SCHEDULES Calculate the safety stock levels by incorporating all demand schedules that are configured in the supply plan.

SALES AND OPERATIONS PLANNING GENERATE SUPPLY PLANS THAT AUTOMATICALLY RESPECT CAPACITY CONSTRAINTS Generate plans that enforce resource and supplier constraints in aggregate supply planning. You can automatically generate feasible supply plans and reduce the need for manual adjustments and replanning. 7

8 CLASSIFY PLAN NOTES BY TYPE Label and display plan notes with attributes, such as Assumption, Risk, and Possibility, to clarify their purpose for your colleagues and for future reference. ANALYZE AGGREGATE SUPPLY PLANS ACROSS THE ENTIRE SUPPLY CHAIN View all the critical components and resources needed for each end item at multiple levels to identify potential supply bottlenecks. LOCK CELLS WHEN EDITING OR ALLOCATING VALUES Lock selected cells in pivot tables to prevent manual edits or changes resulting from the edits made at a more aggregate level. You can make selective adjustments to forecast data, while preventing such adjustments from being allocated down to the locked child cells. INTEGRATE WITH E-BUSINESS SUITE Integrate Oracle Sales and Operations Planning Cloud with your on-premises Oracle E-Business Suite application. The integration enables you to plan in the cloud, while you continue to execute in Oracle E- Business Suite. INTEGRATE AND EXTEND SALES AND OPERATIONS PLANNING USING REST SERVICES EXTRACT PLANNING MEASURE DATA USING A REST SERVICE Use a REST service to extract measure data from Oracle Supply Chain Planning Cloud. MANAGE PLANNING DATA COLLECTIONS FROM ORACLE CLOUD USING REST SERVICES Use REST services to automate the collection of data from Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud.

DEMAND MANAGEMENT VIEW TABLE HEIGHT IN SHORT OR TALL MODE AND SAVE THE SETTING Tailor the table height to your display resolution for easier data analysis in tables, such as the Material Plan table. The default table height setting is set to Tall, which maximizes the number of table rows displayed. You can change the table height setting to Short and save the setting to accommodate devices with a lower display resolution. SALES AND OPERATIONS PLANNING CREATE AND EDIT BILLS OF RESOURCES FOR SIMULATIONS Manage new bills of resources within a simulation set. After creating a simulation set, you can edit bills of resources within the same user interface. This feature simplifies the process of managing bills of resources used for running new supply simulations. SPECIFY DIFFERENT ITEM CATALOGS FOR DIFFERENT SOURCING RULES Select the product catalog to be referenced in an assignment set when making sourcing assignments. This feature allows you to flexibly define your supply chain structure using assignment sets. For example, you can specify two different product catalogs for two different assignments sets: one for order promising, and the other for supply planning. SUPPLY PLANNING IDENTIFY PLANNERS BY NAME IN THE SUPPLIES AND DEMANDS TABLE Display both planner name and planner description in the Supplies and Demands table so that the planner can be easily determined. This feature makes it easier for you to identify planners, if the planner names are expressed in codes and the planner description contains more information about the planner. You can display planner name, planner description, or both, based on your preference. 14
