Key Setups
Item Attributes / Catalogs / Categories

Set up Item attributes for

– Manufacturing Specification- Item Structure, WIP
– Inventory Specification- Material Control
– Sales and Order Management Specification: Order Management , Order
Orchestration, Fulfillment , Invoicing
– Planning Specification – General Planning , MRP/MPS Planning
– Purchasing Specification – Purchasing
– Assign Items to Master controlled Catalog - Categories

Copyright © 2018, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | 7

Key Setups
Item Attributes / Catalogs / Categories

GOP Catalog created in

Product Hub

Since Catalogs are "Master" Controlled, Categories are associated to items only at Item-Master
Organization level.

An item will always be associated to a unique Catalog-Category combination for all child Inventory
organizations of an Item-Master Organization.

While loading item-category association from external source systems ensure not to have multi category
association for an item in a catalog

Copyright © 2018, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | 8

Key Setups
Calendars and Transportation Schedules

Order Promising respects Calendar Constraints.

Calendars used in GOP should have "Length in Days" as 7

Users can specify number of working / non working days for a 7 - day week pattern.

Calendars in GOP should

have “Length in Days” as 7

Copyright © 2018, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | 9

Key Setups
Calendars and Transportation Schedules

GOP respects Transportation Schedule modeled in Oracle Fusion Shipping.

Schedules are associated to partners by providing its usage.

Customers configure Transportation Schedules, for GOP to recommend ship dates based on the carrier –
calendar and carrier associated to a lane
Transportation Schedules for
different Partner types and usages

Copyright © 2018, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | 10

Key Setups
Calendars and Transportation Schedules
Following table provides an example of the Transportation Schedule usage in GOP.

• In the above scenario, GOP would use the calendars associated with carriers for deriving a valid ship date
from the organization (organization-shipping)
• This calendar and carrier would be applied to the lane used by GOP based on sourcing / in transit setups.

Key Setups
ATP Rules

ATP rules define order promising behavior by allowing to
specify
– Promising Mode (How supply availability is to be considered)
– Supplies and demand source types to be considered during promising
(on-hand etc.)
– Enabling Advanced Promising features: Capable to Promise,
Profitable to Promise

ATP rules can be assigned flexibly to items, item-

organization, organization, or categories

ATP Rules can be used to configure order promising
behavior for fulfillment lines of different items

Manage ATP Rules screen allows you to search, copy or
delete an existing ATP Rule

Key Setups
Based on Modes of ATP
Item Structures / Work Definitions

Item Structures and Work Definitions are used in Supply chain availability search mode
of ATP

Define Item Structures for Standard and Model items

Substitute items are assigned to components in an item structure. These are considered by GOP during Order
promising process if substitution is enabled

Availability check is performed for components in the Item structure if "Search Components and resources" is
checked within the ATP rule

Define Work Definitions for Standard and Model items

Resource availability is considered by GOP if a make CTP is being performed in Supply chain availability search

Assignments sets are created to implement the

supply chain networks for your sourcing
strategies.

Specify a Sourcing catalog in the Assignment
Set

Based on Modes of ATP Zones for creating
Regions and Zones
Regions and Zones

Regions and zones are widely used in GOP while performing a
Supply Chain availability search.

Regions and Zone sourcing are used in Global Sourcing and
Assignments.

A request to GOP to determine fulfillment organization based
on customer location would rely on sourcing rules assigned at
the region or zone level

Regions and Zones are part of Trading Community Model
defined in Oracle Fusion Shipping Cloud

Region based sourcing rules are assigned based on ten -
level region and zone hierarchy

Copyright © 2018, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | 24

Key Setups

Regions and Zones – additional setup details

Navigate to "Manage Zone Types" to create a zone type

Specify Zone type is bounded by Country or World

For zone type bounded by Country, specify a zone creation level to add a geography

Navigate to task : "Manage Geographies", enable Geography Validation at the desired level

Submit ESS : "Validate Geographies of Addresses Against Master Geographies" with relevant parameters

ASL is required for drop ship order promising flow in Supply chain availability search mode of ATP

ASL links Supplier and supplier site with Item

ASL supplier should be available in Buy from sourcing for the item in GOP Assignment Set

For GOP to consider Supplier capacity in Order Promising , load Supplier capacity using FBDI

Trouble Shooting
• Back to Back - No Supply Recommended
– Check if BACK_TO_BACK flag is enabled for the item
– Check if sourcing rule exists for item-org combination and is available in GOP Assignment Set
• Back to Back – “Release Planning recommendations” not creating supplies in Source
– Check for correct Assignment set in the GOP Profile. Without a correct Assignment Set, GOP would provide an
Sourcing error as well
• Calendars are not honored
– Review if all necessary Calendars are collected and organization-calendar association are available in collected
data
• GOP shows error - "Missing Sourcing rule" or 'Sourcing failed"
– Review Sourcing assignment hierarchy for the item in GOP Assignment Set
– Review if the Shipping method specified in the transfer from sourcing rule is assigned to the inter organization in
transit times setup

Copyright © 2018, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | 33

Trouble Shooting
• GOP Error - "Invalid shipping organization”
– Review Valid ATP rules and Sourcing rule assignments for Item-organization
• GOP Error - “Invalid Supplier"
– Ensure ASL is defined for item and supplier
– Review if buy from sourcing exists for Supplier (required for drop ship flow)

• GOP shows error - Invalid item on model parent line, expecting item type model
– Review Model item attributes setup like replenish to order flag or PTO flag

• Unable to create work order for a new model item

– Review ATP rules assignment for model, option class, options and mandatory components
– Ensure that Item Structures and Work Definitions are collected for model/option/option class items

Copyright © 2018, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | 34

Trouble Shooting
• Updated on hand not available in GOP , Updated Sourcing rule/ATP rule not honored in GOP
– GOP is an in-memory engine and requires (a) data to be collected and (b) GOP engine to be restarted to reflect in
changes
– Since GOP is in-memory, a restart every day is required to update the in-memory Sysdate
• Difference between On-Hand Availability within Oracle Inventory Cloud and Item Availability returned
by Global Order Promising (GOP) Cloud
– When GOP returns the item availability of an Item, it is returning the “ATP Supply” of the Item
– ATP Supply = on hand + Scheduled receipts(purchase Orders/Requisitions + Work orders + Inbound transfers)
• Key Information to analyze GOP issues
– Export Check availability with pegging details to an excel to review the output
– Drill to Sourcing and ATP rule for a given context to review GOP output
– Perform a inquiry in MOPD UI for problematic scenario and review the check availability results
