Oracle SCM Cloud: Sales and Operation Planning Implementation

Course Description

Oracle SCM Cloud: Sales and Operation Planning Implementation prepares learners to work confidently with Oracle S&OP process design, planning cycles, data, measures, consensus demand, supply review, scenarios, executive decisions, approvals, analytics, and governance. Learners work within a cross-functional team implementing a monthly S&OP cycle that aligns demand, supply, finance, and executive decisions, linking configuration and process decisions to security, accuracy, availability, and operational ownership.

Four connected stages cover S&OP Process Design, Cycles, and Planning Context; Data, Measures, Hierarchies, and Consensus Demand; Supply Review, Scenario Comparison, and Executive Decisions; Approvals, Publication, Analytics, and Governance. Every stage produces practical evidence, a validation record, troubleshooting notes, and a reusable handover outcome.
