The value set in the Item Restriction Limit parameter will override the value specified in profile option.

Running This SQL Without Blitz Report

Some Oracle EBS SQL reports in this library require functions from the utility package xxen_util. Install it before running the SQL directly against your Oracle EBS database.

MSC Horizontal Plan - Case Study & Technical Analysis

Executive Summary

The MSC Horizontal Plan is the ASCP equivalent of the MRP Horizontal Plan. It provides a time-phased, bucketed view of supply, demand, and projected inventory across the entire supply chain. It is the fundamental tool for visualizing the flow of materials over time.

Business Challenge

Planners need to see the "big picture" of inventory flow, not just a list of orders.

  • Inventory Projection: "What will our stock level be at the end of each week for the next 6 months?"
  • Supply/Demand Balance: "Are we consistently producing more than we are selling?"
  • Safety Stock: "When do we dip below our safety stock target?"

Solution

The MSC Horizontal Plan aggregates planning data into time buckets.

Key Features:

  • Bucketing: Aggregates data into Daily, Weekly, and Monthly buckets.
  • Row Types: Displays rows for Gross Requirements, Scheduled Receipts, Planned Orders, Projected On Hand, and Safety Stock.
  • Flexibility: Can include or exclude specific supply/demand types based on user preference.

Technical Architecture

The report mimics the Horizontal Plan view in the ASCP Planner's Workbench.

Key Tables and Views

  • MSC_PLANS: Defines the plan.
  • MSC_SUPPLIES / MSC_DEMANDS: The core tables storing all supply and demand transactions.
  • MSC_CAL_WEEK_START_DATES: Used to aggregate daily data into weekly buckets.

Core Logic

  1. Aggregation: Sums the quantities of supply and demand for each item within each time bucket.
  2. Calculation: Calculates the Projected Available Balance (PAB) cumulatively: Previous PAB + Supply - Demand.
  3. Presentation: Pivots the data to display time periods as columns.

Business Impact

  • Strategic Planning: Helps identify long-term trends in inventory and capacity.
  • Inventory Optimization: Visualizes excess inventory and potential stockouts.
  • Communication: Provides a standard format for sharing the plan with stakeholders.
