Solution Applications
iSupplier
iSupplier structures supplier communication through a secure internet-based portal, provides access to real-time information such as purchase orders and invoice payments, and enables supplier response with order acknowledgment and shipment notices.
Highlights
- Allows real-time, integrated view of supplier information: PO, ASNs, shipments, receiving, and invoice and payment status
- Supplier self-registration (by invitation) and self-service to maintain your own data (eg banking, contacts)
- Direct Material suppliers will also view demand forecast in Collaborative Planning within iSupplier
- Direct Material suppliers will enter and maintain lead times, MOQ, etc for production parts
- Services suppliers must enter work confirmations when they have completed services to trigger the receipt

Collaborative Planning
Collaborative Planning (CP) is a web-based application that provides advanced capabilities for communicating, planning, and optimizing supply and demand information.
Highlights
- Oracle Collaborative Planning will replace Trading Partner Collaboration (TPC) for demand sharing and supplier commitments
- Planning horizon will be 13 months at Go-Live vs. current TPC horizon of 12 months. The Planning horizon will be expanded to 18 months later.
- In Collaborative Planning, suppliers will receive net demand in the form of planned orders. These planned orders are defined as supply required by the planning module in Oracle and already consider safety stock
- Forecasts (Planned Orders) are shared in the Collaborative Planning application. Suppliers are expected to plan and build per Planned Orders. MSI will issue Purchase Orders for Supplier to ship and invoice against. MSI's liability is limited to the lead-time of Planned Order items.
- Suppliers are required to provide commitments throughout the horizon - against open POs in iSupplier and then CP for the balance
- Mass update capability is available in Collaborative Planning.
