Exception Messages
1. Past Due Sales Orders
This exception message appears for past due sales order lines. A past due sales order
line is a sales order line with a schedule date earlier than the plan horizon start date.
2. Past due orders
This exception message appears when the planning engine detects supply orders and
planned orders that have order (start) dates and due dates in the past (before the
planning horizon start date).
3. Late supply pegged to sales order
This message appears when a supply due date is later than the demand due date to
which it is pegged; the demand can be independent demand or dependent demand.
This usually occurs because of time fences.
4. Late supply pegged to forecast
This message appears when a supply due date is later than the demand due date to
which it is pegged; the demand can be independent demand or dependent demand.
This usually occurs because of lead times and time fences.
5. Orders to be rescheduled out
This exception message appears when the planning engine suggests that you
reschedule an existing supply order (scheduled receipt) to a later date to avoid carrying
excess inventory. It occurs when the planning engine detects a non-firm existing supply
order with a due date that is earlier than it suggests (suggested due date).
6. Orders to be cancelled
This exception message appears when the planning engine suggests that you cancel an
existing supply order. It occurs when the planning engine detects a non-firm existing
supply order that you do not need to satisfy demand or safety stock requirements.
38

7. Orders to be rescheduled in
This exception message appears when the planning engine suggests that you
reschedule an existing supply order to an earlier date. It occurs when the planning
engine detects a non-firm existing supply order with a due date that is later than it
suggests (suggested order date).
8. Orders with compression days
This exception message appears when the planning engine detects that a supply
order needs to be completed in less time that its minimum processing time in order
for it to meet a demand. If the planning engine plans the order according to its lead
time, it would start in the past (before the planning horizon start date).
9. Items with a shortage
This exception message appears when projected available balance for a planning
bucket is negative and is within the exception set Shortage Exceptions exception
time period. Projected available balance is Previous bucket projected available
balance + Sum of supply quantities with due date in this planning time bucket - Sum
of demand quantities with due date in this planning time bucket.
10. Items below safety stock
This exception message appears when projected available balance for a planning
bucket is below the specified safety stock level for the planning bucket. Projected
available balance is Previous bucket projected available balance + Sum of supply
quantities with due date in this planning time bucket - Sum of demand quantities with
due date in this planning time bucket.
11. Items with excess inventory
The planning engine generates this message when projected available balance for a
bucket is greater than the exception set Excess Quantity value for the item and
within the exception set Excess Exceptions exception time period. Projected
available balance is Previous bucket projected available balance + Sum of supply

Oracle Inventory Reorder Point Report
ASCP Planning Detail Report

44

Oracle Supply Chain Planning Detail Report

A comprehensive planning report to understand the
material plan
Includes the following sections:
Horizontal Listing
Vertical Listing
Detail sections showing

Gross requirements

Scheduled receipts

Planned orders

Bill of material and engineering changes

Expired lots, and

Byproduct information

45

OPM MPS Enhanced Material Activity Report

A revised OPM report against source transaction data
Lists (in chronological order):
Pending inventory transaction activity for an item in a
specific warehouse, or
All warehouses over which the planner has authority

Helps buyers decide which requisitions and suggested

purchases should be approved
Helps planners decide when to convert firm-planned
orders to batches
Indicates when batches should be rescheduled,
consolidated, or canceled

46

OPM MPS Enhanced Bucketed Material Report

A revised OPM report against source transaction data

Lists pending transaction information for a single item
in one or more warehouses in specified time buckets
Groups transactions into categories such as purchase
order receipts and planned production
Time bucket-based format

47

Oracle Inventory Reorder Point Report

An existing report replacing OPM Reorder Point Report

Suggests a new order for an item when the available
quantityonhand quantity plus planned receipts
drops below the items safety stock level plus forecast
demand for the item during its replenishment lead time.
Improves overall customer service by reducing stockout probability.

48

ASCP Planning Detail Report

OPM users now have access to this existing report by

virtue of the merging of OPM MRP into ASCP.
This report requires Oracle Discoverer
For a given supply chain plan, the report includes the
relevant details about items, resources, gross
requirements, scheduled receipts, planned orders, plan
constraints, and exceptions in separate worksheets
The report gives detailed information to help you
understand and analyze the supply chain planning
results by presenting the data selectively and
coherently
