Key Features

Promise accurately and reliably You can promise order more

accurately when you take all the constraints of your supply chain into
consideration (substitutes, alternates, lead times, network, capacity). In
addition, you can have a more responsive and reliable promising process
when the system is available 247 with zero downtime. By combining a
database-driven architecture with manufacturing, supplier, and logistics
constraints, you can ensure improvements in customer service levels and an
increase in fill rates.

Manage key customer and channel commitments You can also

manage allocations of supply to key customers and channels, thereby
ensuring that you can meet contractual agreements and service levels in the
priority that yields most profitability. Planners can easily configure the
system to vary allocations in line with priorities that flow out of your Sales
and Operations Planning process

Promise complex multi-level configurations Tight integration

with Oracle Configurator and Order Management enables accurate order
promising of complex configurations. Sourcing and availability can be
dependent on the options selected during the configuration process. Multiple
levels of models and options, including outsourced configurations are
supported, whereas match-and-reserve can quickly identify availability for
existing configurations.

Respond to changing conditions Extensive backlog management

enables you to (re)promise a group of orders in a priority sequence. You can
also leverage the filtering and manual override capabilities to take care of
your most important customers first rather than following the systemsuggested recommendations.
