According to the Oracle Demand Management Cloud User Guide2, demand planning KPIs are metrics that measure the performance and accuracy of demand planning processes. Demand planning KPIs include sales vs shipments (B), new product forecast (D), and shipment history (E). Sales vs shipments compares the actual sales orders with the forecasted shipments. New product forecast measures the forecast accuracy of new products that have no historical data. Shipment history shows the historical shipment data by product, customer, or channel. Demand planning exceptions (A) and simulation set © are not demand planning KPIs, but rather features that help users to identify and resolve issues or compare scenarios in demand planning.

According to the Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud: Plan to Produce training course1, procure-to-pay is the process that is responsible for the requisitioning, purchasing, receiving, paying, and accounting of goods and services from an outside supplier. Procure-to-pay covers the entire lifecycle of a supplier relationship, from sourcing and contracting to invoicing and payment. Manufacturing (A), sourcing (B), and inventory management © are not processes that are responsible for the requisitioning, purchasing, receiving, paying, and accounting of goods and services from an outside supplier, but rather sub-processes that are part of the plan-to-produce or order-to-cash processes.

According to the Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud: Plan to Produce training course3, contract manufacturing is the process of outsourcing the production of goods or services to a third-party supplier. Contract manufacturing process in an organization requires four tasks to be set up: define contract manufacturing organization (A), define contract manufacturer supplier ©, define contract manufacturing items (D), and define work definition of the finished good item (E). A contract manufacturing organization is an inventory organization that represents the location where the contract manufacturer performs the production activities. A contract manufacturer supplier is a supplier that provides contract manufacturing services to the buying organization. A contract manufacturing item is an item that is produced by a contract manufacturer based on a work definition provided by the buying organization. A work definition is a document that defines the operations, resources, materials, and output for producing an item. Define contract manufacturer customer (B) is not a task that is required to be set up to execute contract manufacturing process in an organization, as it is not relevant to the buying organization.

According to the Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud: Plan to Produce training course2, sourcing rules and item attributes are two parameters that determine the release of planned orders in Demand Forecast to Supply Plan Process. Sourcing rules define how to replenish inventory or fulfill demand (A), and item attributes specify planning-related information such as make or buy, lead time, lot size, etc. ©. Demand schedule, sales orders, and external forecast are not parameters that determine the release of planned orders, but rather sources of demand that can be included in a supply plan.
