This update also provides seamless navigation across other E2open applications, including Partner Performance Incentives.
Demand Sensing
- More flexible engine to model complex supply chain and business use cases with improved forecast quality. The new engine flexibilities include DSU/DFU grouping, additions to parameter hierarchy, past due orders by horizon, and similar demand profile for holidays.
Demand Planning
- A robust and accurate forecast with an enhanced user experience, Demand Planning now provides more options to set up and configure a scenario run, such as time-phased sourcing location profiles. An estimated scenario run time is provided after users set up a scenario. They can then load and review historical scenario forecast results into Analytics Module for comparison.
Supply Planning and Response
- A user-friendly UI-based configuration replaces manual XML configuration. Users can include or exclude the key constraints of lot sizes, target inventory, and firm supply to/from the calculation, ultimately calculating the Latest Feasible Date.
Sales & Operations Planning
- Forecast lock allows users to fix a confident forecast, ensuring better demand-supply reconciliation. The lock retains the forecast values irrespective of user adjustments or changes at other aggregate planning levels. Better Transition Planning with the flexibility to perform supersession at the aggregate level of product hierarchy. This allows planners to conveniently phase out Product families or brands with a single or multiple Product families or brands.
Collaborative Manufacturing
- Specify hold instructions for proactive corrective actions on the lots with quality problems.
- Enhanced Workflow Permissibility helps control user/user groups that can view/act on specific workflow instances.
- Improved yield calculation accounting for move out, scrap and rework conditions on a lot.
Supply Management
- Performance enhancements provide up to 10 times improvement in data upload speed for measures such as forecast, commit and inventory and a baseline download speed of up to two times. This allows for improved User Forms and better Exception Workflows.
Data Exchange
- Diagrammatic visual message workflow editing via the all-new BPMN standards-based Message Flow editor. Administrators can quickly define cross-application message flows using standard or custom templates.
