This lesson develops Sources, Constraints, Calendars, and Inventory Policies within Oracle SCM Cloud: Supply Planning Implementation.
The work is anchored to a supply-planning team configuring a focused plan to balance demand with inventory, purchasing, and production capacity, so each decision is connected to a measurable operational result and an accountable owner.
The instructor traces sourcing rules, assignment sets, suppliers, transfer paths, and make/buy choices, then connects it to lead times, capacities, resources, calendars, order modifiers, and constraints. The demonstration captures the exact configuration, transaction, command, query, log, or screen evidence needed to prove intended behavior and the applicable control boundary.
Learners execute a guided lab focused on lead times, capacities, resources, calendars, order modifiers, and constraints and safety stock, service levels, min/max, lot sizing, and inventory policy. The exercise introduces a realistic exception related to invalid sources, calendar gaps, infeasible capacity, and data correction and requires a reversible correction supported by before-and-after evidence.
Acceptance requires accurate handling of safety stock, service levels, min/max, lot sizing, and inventory policy, traceable proof for sourcing rules, assignment sets, suppliers, transfer paths, and make/buy choices, and a repeatable recovery path for invalid sources, calendar gaps, infeasible capacity, and data correction. Results must be understandable to both implementers and operational support teams.
Learners compare symptoms, logs, state, dependencies, and recent changes when invalid sources, calendar gaps, infeasible capacity, and data correction occurs. The final diagnosis must separate the immediate fix from the preventive control.
The completed output is a tested sources, constraints, calendars, and inventory policies implementation or analysis, with validation evidence, troubleshooting notes, rollback guidance, and a concise operational handover.
