• JDE E1 9.1 and 9.2 (via AIA PIP)

Highlights
From 12.1.1 to 12.1.3.X

Minimum Remaining Shelf Life (MRSL)
• Critical to Food & Beverage, Pharmaceutical, and Process Industries
› Raw materials/Ingredients and sub-assemblies must be consumed before they age beyond their shelf life
› Finished goods must arrive at a customer site with equal to or greater than the remaining shelf life
specified by the customer with respect to arrival date or ship date.
• Item-customer or sales order level
› Measured in calendar days
› MRSL Support for Multi Echelon Supply Chain
› Consideration of MRSL in Making Sourcing Decisions
› Consideration of Safety Stock in Conjunction with MRSL
› Ingredient Based MRSL
• Caution
› Must use “Constrained (Without Detailed Scheduling)”

End Item Substitution Use-up
• Demand for primary SKU isn’t on-hand, recommend substitute SKU
› Recommendation can be released from ASCP and update the sales order (ASCP
sales order release process)
• Turn off “inference”
› If Item B is a substitute for Item A, and Item C is a substitute for Item B,
configure ASCP to not “infer” that Item C is a substitute for Item A.
• Caution: Not support for 12.0.X source EBS

Consume Purchase Order – FIFO Sequence
• Allocates/pegs purchase order dates based
on FIFO
• Reduces Purchase Order change
recommendations
› Simplifies plan execution / management Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday
Demand 100
PO 100 100
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday
Demand 100
PO 100 100
Default Functionality
• Allocated PO quantity of 100 on Thursday and cancelled
Monday’s PO
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday
Demand 100
PO 100 100
Optional New FIFO Functionality
• Allocate Monday’s PO quantity , and cancel Thursday ‘s
PO

Forecast Spreading Based on Shipping Calendar
• Prior functionality spread based
on only the manufacturing
calendar.
• New profile option
› “MSC: Forecast Spreading Calendar” -
spreads forecasts based on the shipping
calendar in addition to the
manufacturing calendar
• Or - User- defined Calendar
› Defined for each planned
organization
› Overrides the other two

Maximum Use-Up Substitute Components
• Use existing supply of substitute
components before using existing supply
of primary components
• Only available in Constrained Plan
(Without Detailed Scheduled) and
requires / works in conjunction with:
› MSO: Use up existing supply of primary
components before substitute
› MSO: Use Existing Supplies in Alternate
BOM/Subs.
› MSO: Postpone Use of Alternates to Latest
Possible Time
Default functionality
1. Use onhand and scheduled receipts of primary components
2. Use onhand and scheduled receipts of substitute components
3. Generate new planned orders for primary components
4. Generate new planned orders for substitute components
With Enhancement
1. Use onhand and scheduled receipts of substitute components
2. Use onhand and scheduled receipts of primary components
3. Generate new planned orders for primary components
4. Generate new planned orders for substitute components

Integration to Rapid Planning
• Rapid Planning can be leveraged to
perform simulations on top of your
ASCP plan
• Use ASCP as your daily or weekly
planning engine and use Rapid
Planning for intra-day or intra-week
simulations of changes to your
business such as changes to
demands / supplies and capacities.

New Material & Resource Plan
› Item / Product Category /Period
› Group of component orders for a supplier (e.g. For price
breaks)
› Consolidation (e.g. Container Size)
• Edits at a higher level are “proportioned” down based on
business rules to lower level planned orders which become
firmed.
• Resource Plan - Analysis of availability / requirements by
day/week/period
› In-line editing of availability and allocations down from
weekly/monthly buckets to days
• Much more user-configurability for Resource & Material
Plans (totals, page views/filters, coloring)
• Material Plan - In-line Editing with Supply / Demand Mass edits

Customized Export to Excel
• Enhanced and flexible export
› Enable pegging links in the export
› User-defined aggregation levels (categories)
› User-defined filters for export (based on attributes of an end
item, component or order)
› User-defined data (columns)
• Create/define multiple excel worksheet exports and
link to a single plan for immediate availability
› Plan Options -> reporting tab
• Excel worksheets are integrated as part of the plan
run

Note Worthy
• Release “recommendations” and quantity/ date changes for internal requisitions from the
workbench (corresponding ISO is also updated)
• Safety Lead Time
• Ability to add a custom, user-defined row and label to the Horizontal Plan
› Examples: View Projected on-hand in dollars, view supply/demand in alternate units of measure, create a custom calculation
• Supply Tolerance and Exclude Planned Orders from Tolerance Enhancement – targeted to the
process industry
› Example: Demand for 10,000 pounds but variation in the process produces 9,900……this is good enough to satisfy the demand
and there is not a need to create another production order for 100 lbs.
• Turn off “planned order creation”
› This feature is only available in the Constrained (Without Scheduling) planning mode

Note Worthy
• Distribution Planning supports the following order modifiers: Fixed Lot Mult., Min Order Qty, Max
Order Qty, and Round Order Qty.
• Forecast Explosion Enhancements
› ATO/Options – maps data into APCC
› Can Publish exploded forecast from Demantra
› Can publish planning percentages from Demantra and Explode in ASCP
• Post-Processing Lead-time for Make Items
› Allow time for quality activities, shipping preparation, long movement time to co-located warehouse / Distribution Center for
staging
› Profile Option (default No)
› Not utilized for DRP, or RP
• Critical Path Information displayed in EDD plan
› If MSO: Lead Time Control = “Do Not Violate minimum processing time”, Then Demands can be met late
› Can be viewed in the Critical Activities window as well as the Gantt chart

Technical & Integration (12.1.1 to 12.1.3.x)
Parallel Collections:
With an enterprise, a business group may wish to run its collections and planning processes completely
independently, without having to coordinate the timing of these activities across business groups and/or
regions.
• Enhancements enables independent collections/planning in a company with a single global EBS
source instance and multiple VCP planning instances.
› Parallel Collections – One Source, Multiple VCP Instances on One Shared Physical Destination Server
› Parallel Collections – One Source, Multiple VCP Instances Each on Its Own Physical Destination Server
• Note: Architecture needs to be thought through as there are several implications such as removing program
dependencies and profile option settings
• Include supplementary data via a legacy file within standard collections run

Technical & Integration (12.1.1 to 12.1.3.x)
• Production Scheduling as an input to ASCP
• Several new enhancements and integration around CMRO and EAM integration.
› Integration: E.g. Maintenance Plan / Work Orders, forecast budgets scenarios, repair bom / routings
› Returns forecast and repair planning functionality
• Enhanced exception messages, Horizontal Plan (Item & Resource)
• Several new order types; Maintenance work order, Planned Repair work order, Planned Part Demand, External
Repair Order, etc.,
• Several new Supply / Demand attributes to help plan and filter such as the name of the maintenance plan,
Operating Fleet, Part Condition, Activity Type, etc.

Highlights
From 12.2 to 12.2.4.1

Premium Resource Capacity Constraints
Many companies have the need to model two levels of capacity for production resources:
› A “regular” level of capacity and a “premium” level of capacity that is more expensive to use and
should be used only when required to prevent demand lateness
• Premium resources are allocated as a percentage of regular capacity and used by the plan to
improve demand satisfaction
• Resource Plan / Workbench
› View regular and premium capacity
availability and usage
› New “ Premium Resource
Capacity is utilized ”
exception message
Note: Specific configurations needed
not typically done in the source ERP

Warehouse Capacity Constraints
• ASCP will enforce warehouse capacity, entered as total volume (quantity / units of measure),
when planning MFG/Production or DRP
› Managed at the organization / item category levels
• New Material Plan view option
› “ Show Warehouse Capacity Details ” displays available and
consumed capacity
› New “ Warehouse Capacity Exceeded ” exception message
• Note: Configure only true bottleneck
warehouses/Mfg locations with in the supply
chain
› Otherwise, may adversely impact the
intended outcome and drive lower demand
satisfaction

Note Worthy
• Supplier capacity consumption
› Consume via all purchase orders or only acknowledged POs

Technical & Integration (12.2 to 12.2.4.1)
• Integration with Primavera P6 (project planning)
Project Scheduled Dates
(Demands)
ASCP – Plan resources & materials

JUST RELEASED (OOW)
From 12.2.5 to 12.2.5.1

Maximum Resource Utilization
Highly capital intensive industries are drive by asset utilization with high changeover costs. Such
companies need the supply chain planning process to maximize resource utilization at the
expense of building up inventory. This is also applicable to those industries that need to keep the
workforce utilized.
• Note:
› “Constrained (without detailed scheduling)”
› Day level buckets
› Pull-in Work Orders (non-firm) then Planned
Orders

• Project Netting Enhancement: hard peg specific supplies to demands as well as common
supplies across demands and apply order modifiers to both. Two new configuration options
› Use Common Supplies for Project Demands (Plan options)
› Apply Order Modifiers (Plan Options)

Note Worthy
• Expanded Reservations for Day level planning
› ASCP respects supply reservations for all supply types such as work orders, Batches, etc. when planning
› Supply hard reserved to a supply (on-hand, WO, PO, Batch, etc.) visible in the workbench and Pegging
• Ability to Firm Purchase Order Lines / Shipments from the ASCP Workbench. Two
new related profile options:
› MSC: Release PO Firm Flag to Purchasing
