R12.2.9 Oracle Advanced Supply Chain Planning Fundamentals — Lesson 1: VCP Architecture, Planning Data, and Collection Strategy

Technical Scope

• Value Chain Planning architecture, source/target instances, planning server, and responsibility model
• items, organizations, bills, routings, resources, suppliers, sourcing, and demand data
• standard/continuous collections, net change, complete refresh, and collection parameters
• collection logs, missing entities, data quality checks, and source reconciliation

Instructor Demonstration

The instructor configures and validates Value Chain Planning architecture, source/target instances, planning server, and responsibility model, then connects it to items, organizations, bills, routings, resources, suppliers, sourcing, and demand data. The demonstration captures the exact configuration, transaction, command, query, log, or screen evidence needed to prove intended behavior and the applicable control boundary.

Applied Workshop

Learners build and verify an implementation covering items, organizations, bills, routings, resources, suppliers, sourcing, and demand data and standard/continuous collections, net change, complete refresh, and collection parameters. The exercise introduces a realistic exception related to collection logs, missing entities, data quality checks, and source reconciliation and requires a reversible correction supported by before-and-after evidence.

1. Confirm scope, identities, data, dependencies, controls, and expected result.
2. Perform the product-specific configuration or analysis and record exact steps.
3. Validate functional behavior, security, data integrity, and operational observability.
4. Introduce the defined failure condition, diagnose the cause, and apply a safe correction.
5. Document rollback, acceptance evidence, unresolved risk, and ownership.

Validation Standard

Acceptance requires accurate handling of standard/continuous collections, net change, complete refresh, and collection parameters, traceable proof for Value Chain Planning architecture, source/target instances, planning server, and responsibility model, and a repeatable recovery path for collection logs, missing entities, data quality checks, and source reconciliation. Results must be understandable to both implementers and operational support teams.

Failure Analysis

Learners compare symptoms, logs, state, dependencies, and recent changes when collection logs, missing entities, data quality checks, and source reconciliation occurs. The final diagnosis must separate the immediate fix from the preventive control.

Practical Outcome

The completed output is a tested vcp architecture, planning data, and collection strategy implementation or analysis, with validation evidence, troubleshooting notes, rollback guidance, and a concise operational handover.
