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.

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.

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.
