ASCP Collection Methods

Oracle ASCP Collection Methods:

There are three ways data can be collected into Oracle ASCP or APS or Value Chain Planning suite.

1) Standard Collections:

  • Complete Refresh: In this all existing collected data will be purged and new data is imported.
  • Targeted Refresh: Similar to Complete Refresh but for each object. You can selectively choose which objects require completed refresh, only those targeted objects will be refreshed.
  • Net Change refresh: Imports only the changes that happened since last refresh. This methods work for supply / demand changes.

Objects supported under Net change mode.

  • Reservations
  • Master Production Schedules demands
  • Master Demand Schedules demands

2) Continuous Collections:

Continuous collections systematically decides whether to run targeted refresh or net change based on a given threshold value (parameter). It runs based on snapshot data.

3) Legacy Collections:

This method is useful to import data from non-oracle ERP systems. Data is imported from flat files or from staging tables. Oracle provides the templates for each data/transaction objects, if data uploaded in that format, oracle imports data into planning server.

ASCP Standard Collections

ASCP Standard Collections

Oracle ASCP Collections pull the data from source (ERP) system for planning purpose. If your source system (ERP) is Oracle Apps, then out of the box collections programs will collect the data without any custom interface. Oracle ASCP supports any version (10.7, 11i, 12) of Oracle Apps ERP to collect the data. After data is collected ASCP Plan must be run with refreshed data to review the latest recommendations.

Data collections are done in two stages. During first stage (1) Data is pulled from ERP system and kept in Staging tables. During second stage (2) Data is loaded into ASCP instance.
