value of 5 upon installation.

MRP:Maintain Original Schedule Version

Indicates whether to maintain the original master schedule version. The original schedule version is the

earliest copy of schedule dates and quantities, and often may not serve a useful purpose. This gives you

the ability to disable the original schedule version if you do not intend to use it as part of your business

procedures and do not want to contend with the additional overhead required by Oracle Master

Scheduling/MRP to maintain it. If you change this profile option, you must start the concurrent manager

performance indicator used to calculate performance in a plan for Business Intelligence reports. This

profile can be a value between 0 and 100, decimal values are permitted.

MRP:Plan Revenue Price List

Specifies the sales order price list that is applied to items in a plan. This value is used to calculate the plan

margin key performance indicators for Business Intelligence reports.

MRP:Planning Manager Batch Size

Indicates the batch size for the number of rows in a set that the planning manager processes. You use this

profile option during a forecast and master schedule load to determine the number of rows to process in

batch. Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP also uses this profile option during forecast consumption and

master schedule relief to determine the number of items to process. A larger batch size is more efficient,

because a process needs to make fewer database hits. For example, if there are 1000 rows or items to

process, and you have set the profile to 100, the process needs to access the database 10 times to retrieve

information on all 1000 rows or items. Setting the profile to 200 means that the process needs to access

the database only 5 times. A smaller batch size means that the work may be divided across more workers.

Using the example above, a value of 100 means that the Planning Manager could divide the work across

10 processes, while a value of 200 means that only 5 processes could operate simultaneously.

MRP:Planning Manager Max Workers

Indicates the maximum number of workers to be launched by the planning manager. If there are many

rows processing, the planning manager continues to spawn more workers, until all rows have been

processed, or the number of Planning Manager Workers running or pending matches or exceeds the value

of MRP:Planning Manager Workers.

A larger value for this profile means that the Planning Manager can use more workers to process tasks.

However, a larger value could also mean that the concurrent manager queue becomes filled with workers,

and other processes do not run. In general, do not define a value that exceeds the maximum number of

concurrent programs that can run simultaneously. This profile has a predefined value of 10 upon

installation.

MRP:Purchasing by Revision

Indicates whether to pass on item revision to the purchase requisition.

MRP:Purge Batch Size

Indicates the batch size for the number of rows that the planning purge process deletes between commits.

The larger the number, the faster the purge processes performs. The lower the number, the smaller the

rollback segments required. This profile has a predefined value of 25000 upon installation.

MRP:Requisition Load Group Option

Indicates the group by option used when loading requisitions using the Planner Workbench form.

Available values are listed below: Create one purchase requisition for all recommended orders. Create one

purchase requisition for buyer. Within each requisition, create one line for each planned order for the

buyer. Create one purchase requisition for each category of items. Within each requisition, create one line

for each planned order for the category. Create one purchase requisition for each inventory item. Within

each requisition, create one line for each planned order for the item.

All on one Buyer Category Inventory item

Create one purchase requisition for recommended order. Create one purchase requisition for each

planner.

Indicates the number of minutes to pause execution of the Snapshot process while waiting to acquire

locks on tables.

This profile has a predefined value of 5 upon installation.

MRP:Snapshot Workers

Indicates the number of workers that are launched during the execution of the Snapshot process. A larger

value means that more tasks are performed in parallel. Too many workers, however, can result in system

degradation and diminishing performance benefits. In general, do not define a value for this profile that

exceeds the maximum number of concurrent programs that can run simultaneously. This profile has a

predefined value of 5 upon installation.

MRP:Sourcing Rule Category Set

Indicates the category set used when Oracle Supply Chain Planning or Oracle Purchasing creates sourcing

assignments at category–org or category level.

MRP:Time Fence Warning

Indicates whether to receive a warning if you modify a master production schedule within the planning

time fence or master demand schedule within the demand time fence. Available values are listed below:

One each Planner Supplier

Receive a warning modify a master production schedule within the planning time fence or master demand

schedule within the demand time fence. Do not receive a warning if you modify a master schedule within

the planning or demand time fence. This profile has a predefined value of Yes upon installation.

predefined value of No upon installation. You can update this profile at all levels.

MRP:Use Ship Arrived Flag

Indicates how to treat sales orders shipped to customers. You can automatically treat sales orders as

“arrived” at a customer site after the intransit lead time has expired, or you can manually update the

ARRIVED_FLAG in SO_PICKING_HEADERS. This profile is used by the Memory–based Planning

Engine when a customer is modelled as an organization. This profile has a predefined value of No upon

installation. Available values are listed below:

Use arrived flag in SO_PICKING_HEADERS.

Use intransit time between source and the destination organizations.

notification will be sent to the requester.

PO: Archive Catalog on Approval

Yes or No indicates whether Purchasing archives blanket purchase agreements in a price/sales catalog

submission upon approval. You need to consider this profile option only if you receive price/sales catalog

submissions from your suppliers through the Purchasing Documents Open Interface. This profile option

comes into effect only if Archive on Approval is chosen in the Document Types window in Purchasing and

you import the documents with a status of Approved; if you then choose No for this profile option,

Purchasing does not archive the price/sales catalog agreements.

Note: If a document update is pending review in the Exceeded Price Tolerances window, the revision of

that document is not

updated until you accept all line updates.

PO: AutoCreate GL Date Option

Indicates the date used on purchase orders generated by AutoCreate: The autocreate date is used as the

purchase order

date.The GL date on the requisition distribution is used as the purchase order date.

PO: Automatic Document Sourcing

Yes means that Oracle Purchasing automatically defaults source document and pricing information for an

item from the most recently created purchase agreement or quotation. No means that this source

document information comes from the Approved Supplier List window, where you must specify which

A Null setting (default value) indicates that the functionality continues as in the past (AutoCreate of

releases from a requisition will fail with different UOMs, but the Create Releases concurrent program will

convert UOMs and create a release). If set to Yes, users can create requisitions in a different UOM from

the UOM on the blanket agreement line and the conversion will be done by Purchasing when the release is

created. No means the UOM on the requisition must match the UOM on the blanket purchase agreement

for a release to be created by any process.

generates a database trace file; if you need help with an error that occurs while the

Receiving Transaction Processor runs, Oracle Support Services may ask you for this trace file. This profile

option should be set to Yes only while debugging the Receiving Open Interface or for generating a trace

file. The Receiving Open Interface validates receipt transactions from other systems and uses the

Receiving Transaction Processor to import the validated data into Purchasing.

PO: ERS Aging Period

The value in this profile option indicates the number of days between the receipt date and the Payment on

Receipt automatic invoice creation date. For example, a value of 2 means that Payment on Receipt creates

invoices only for receipts that are 2 or more days old. Any corrections or returns you make against a

restricted to those in this UOM class.

PO: Use Document GL date to Unreserve

Yes or No indicates whether the GL date of the document is used for encumbrance reversal actions that do

not support entry of a GL date (Reject/Return) and as a default for actions that do allow entry of a date

(Cancel/Final Close/Unreserve).

PO: Use Need–by Date for Default Autocreate grouping

Yes indicates that the need–by date on the requisition is included with the defaults to group requisition

lines.

PO: Use P–Cards in Purchasing

Set this profile option to Yes if you use procurement card—also known as P–Card or corporate credit

card—numbers on requisitions in iProcurement. Set this profile option to Yes to display the procurement

card number in the Purchase Orders, Releases, and Purchase Order Headers summary windows. Set this

profile option to No if you do not have iProcurement installed or do not want to display the procurement

card field to buyers. Purchasing windows can physically display the procurement card field even if

iProcurement is not installed and procurement cards aren’t used. Therefore, set this profile option to No if

you are not using procurement cards.

PO: Use Requisition Line Numbers on Autocreated Purchase Order Lines

Yes indicates that the requisition line numbers are used on autocreated purchase order lines. Note that

PO: Warn if RFQ Required before AutoCreate

Yes or No indicates whether you are given a warning message and an opportunity to cancel autocreate if

one or more of the requisition lines selected for inclusion requires an RFQ and has not been placed on an

RFQ. If you use the PO Create Documents workflow to create purchase orders automatically from

approved requisition lines, note that setting this

profile option to Yes can affect the workflow. If it is set to Yes and the requisition line is not on an RFQ

(but RFQ Required is checked for the requisition line), the workflow stops automatic document creation

because it is unable to issue the warning. (The requisition line will still be available in the AutoCreate

Documents window.) Even if an RFQ is required for the requisition line, as long as this profile option is

set to No, the workflow will continue creating the document.

PO: Workflow Processing Mode

Affects the performance of the Purchasing approval workflow processes:

Online :-Completes an entire approval workflow process before letting you proceed to the next activity,

but provides you with an updated Status (for purchase orders) as soon as it finishes.

Background : Enables you to proceed to the next activity while the approval process completes in the

background.

Whichever option you choose, you can always view the current status of a requisition or purchase order

through the Requisitions Summary or Purchase Orders Summary windows.

The default value is Background.

Note: When this profile option is set to Background, you must start the Workflow Background Engine,

which you access

through the System Administrator responsibility. It is recommended that you set this process to run

frequently, if you

are using it for Background mode approvals.

PO: Write Server Output to File

Yes or No indicates whether log details are written to a flat file rather than to the standard concurrent

manager details log viewable through the View Log button in the Submit Request window when running

the Purchasing Documents Open Interface program. Yes means log details are written to a flat file. No

means log details are written to the concurrent manager log screen, which can cause overflow problems

for large catalogs. Leaving this profile option blank means log details are not written at all, which

improves performance. You need to consider a value for this profile option only when debugging a

price/sales catalog submission from your supplier through the Purchasing Documents Open Interface.

RCV: Allow routing override

Yes or No indicates whether the destination type assigned during requisition or purchase order entry can

be overridden at receipt time.

RCV: Debug Mode

If set to Yes, and RCV: Processing Mode set to Immediate or Batch, debug messages will be printed to the

concurrent log file.

RCV: Default Include Closed PO Option

If it is set to Yes, a search in the Enter Receipts window and the Receiving Transactions window

automatically select the Include Closed POs checkbox. Your search results will then include closed orders.

The Receiving Open Interface (including ASN) will allow a receipt against orders with the status of Closed

for Receiving if this profile is set to Yes. Any setting other than Yes prevents receiving against orders using

the Receiving Open Interface with the status of Closed for Receiving.

RCV: Fail All ASN Lines if One Line Fails

If you choose Yes, you can reject an entire Advance Shipment Notice (ASN) if any ASN line fails validation

or processing. If you choose No, then you can accept an ASN if at least one ASN line is successful.

RCV: Print Receipt Traveler

Yes or No indicates whether Purchasing automatically prints the receipt traveler when you perform a

receipt or a receiving transaction, and when you match unordered receipts. You can always print receipt

travelers from the Submit Requests window.

RCV: Processing Mode

Indicates the processing mode used after you save your work for receiving transactions: The transaction

goes to the interface table, where it will be picked up the next time the Receiving Transaction Processor

runs. The transaction goes to the interface table, and the Receiving Transaction Processor is called for the

group of transactions that you entered since you

last saved your work. The Receiving Transaction Processor is called directly.
