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.


34/48

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

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 categoryorg or category level.

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 Needby Date for Default Autocreate grouping

Yes indicates that the needby date on the requisition is included with the defaults to

group requisition lines.

PO: Use PCards in Purchasing

Set this profile option to Yes if you use procurement cardalso known as PCard or

corporate credit cardnumbers 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 arent 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 this only applies when creating a new purchase order.

PO: Use Shipto for Default Autocreate grouping

with the defaults to group requisition lines.

PO: VMI Enabled

Oracle Vendor Managed Inventory: Yes or No indicates whether Vendor Managed

Inventory (VMI) is enabled in Oracle Purchasing.

PO: Warn if RFQ Required before AutoCreate

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


46/48

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.
