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.

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.
