Negotiation Flow and Fulfillment flow in Oracle Order Management

The negotiation flow represents the decision phase of the order process where a sale is discussed and agreed upon before the sale is confirmed. Once the order content is agreed upon, the negotiation moves into the fulfillment phase of the order where scheduling and shipping occur, resulting in invoicing through Receivables.

What is difference between the Negotiation flow and the Fulfillment flow

The distinction between the two flows is specific to the activities in the seeded flows. The negotiation flow is a header flow only and all the lines follow that flow : there are no independent line flows during the negotiation phase. The negotiation flow also has an expiration that is based on the start and end active date, and will expire if not converted to an order. Only when the transaction transitions to the fulfillment part of the order process are line flows associated with the lines and can be managed independently.

Negotiation flow is entered in the transaction type only when the transaction type is of type "Quote" or " Blanket Agreement".

Difference Between MTS, ATO, MTO ,PTO ,CTO and ETO.

Make-to-stock (MTS) In MTS environments, products are created before receipt of a customer order. Customer orders are then filled from existing stock, and then those stocks are replenished through production orders. MTS environments have the advantage of decoupling manufacturing processes from customer orders. Theoretically, this enables customer orders to be filled immediately from readily available stock. It also allows the manufacturer to organize production in ways that minimize costly changeovers and other disruptions. However, there are risks associated with placing finished goods into inventory without having a firm customer order or an established need. These risks tend to limit MTS environments to simple, low-variety, or commodity products whose demand can be forecasted readily. Assemble-to-order (ATO) In ATO environments, products are assembled from components after the receipt of a customer order. The key components in the assembly or f...

Scheduling ,Reservations and ATP in Oracle Order management

Before we start understanding scheduling we need to know certain terms and how they are derived in Oracle. Terminology Understanding the following terms will help you understand how scheduling works in OM. Actual Arrival Date - The date the order line arrives at the customer site. Actual Ship Date - The date the order line is shipped. This date is recorded by the ship confirm action. Arrival Set - A set of order lines which arrive at the same time at the destination. Available to Promise (ATP) - The quantity of current on-hand stock, outstanding receipts and planned production not already committed to sales orders or other sources of demand. ATP Date - The date that a requested quantity will be available to promise. Delivery Lead Time - Time (in days) for items to reach the customer once they are shipped.
