This document provides an overview of implementing Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning (ASCP). It discusses the key capabilities of ASCP and how it differs from MRP. The implementation process involves initial setups like defining instances, organizations, and item attributes. Critical steps include collecting sales order demand, defining the master demand schedule and plan, setting plan options, executing the plan, and accessing the planner's workbench. Potential issues that could arise are also reviewed.
