According to the Mock Exams: Oracle SCM Business Process Foundation Associate document3, sales forecast is the measure that is required to import data from an external source. Sales forecast is an estimate of future sales based on historical data, market trends, customer demand, etc. Sales forecast can be imported from an external source, such as a spreadsheet, a database, or a third-party application, using the Load Planning Data from Files task in Oracle SCM Cloud.

According to the Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud: Plan to Produce training course1, procure-to-pay is the process that is responsible for the requisitioning, purchasing, receiving, paying, and accounting of goods and services from an outside supplier. Procure-to-pay covers the entire lifecycle of a supplier relationship, from sourcing and contracting to invoicing and payment. Manufacturing (A), sourcing (B), and inventory management © are not processes that are responsible for the requisitioning, purchasing, receiving, paying, and accounting of goods and services from an outside supplier, but rather sub-processes that are part of the plan-to-produce or order-to-cash processes.

According to the Oracle SCM Business Process Certified Foundations Associate Rel 2 document1, WIP, Contract Manufacturing, and Supply type are three item attributes that belong to the Manufacturing Attribute group. The Manufacturing Attribute group contains attributes that define how an item is manufactured or procured. WIP is an attribute that indicates whether an item is enabled for work in process (WIP) transactions, such as creating and releasing work orders, reporting material and resource usage, etc. Contract Manufacturing is an attribute that indicates whether an item is manufactured by a contract manufacturer (CM) or by an original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Supply type is an attribute that determines how material is issued to a work order, such as push, pull, bulk, supplier, etc.

According to the Business Process Training and Certification - Oracle University document2, forecast accuracy is a measure of how closely the forecast matches the actual demand. Two types of analysis that can be used to compare forecast accuracy of a plan in a given time period are: waterfall analysis and trend analysis. Waterfall analysis is a graphical representation of how forecast accuracy changes over time due to various factors, such as demand changes, forecast updates, plan adjustments, etc. Trend analysis is a statistical method of identifying patterns or trends in historical data and projecting them into the future.

According to the Business Process Training and Certification - Oracle University document2, variance cost is the difference between input and output costs treated as. Variance cost is calculated by subtracting the output cost from the input cost for each work order operation. Variance cost reflects the efficiency or inefficiency of the production process. It can be positive or negative depending on whether the input cost is higher or lower than the output cost.

According to the Oracle Supply Planning Cloud User Guide2, while defining a supply plan, a planning administrator can select any of the four forecast process options, which include forecast spreading (B), forecast consumption ©, sales order explosion (D), and past due demands based on plan option values (E). Forecast spreading is the option to spread forecast demand across time periods based on a predefined pattern. Forecast consumption is the option to consume forecast demand by sales orders or other sources of demand. Sales order explosion is the option to explode sales orders into their component demands based on the bill of materials. Past due demands based on plan option values is the option to include or exclude past due demands in a supply plan based on the plan option settings. Past due demands based on supply network model (A) is not a forecast process option, but rather a supply network model parameter that determines how past due demands are handled in a supply network model.

According to the Mock Exams: Oracle SCM Business Process Foundation Associate document3, exceptions are generated not only against new planned orders but also against existing supply and demand in Oracle supply plans. Exceptions are messages that alert the user about potential issues or opportunities in a supply plan, such as excess inventory, late orders, unmet demand, etc. Exceptions are generated based on predefined or user-defined rules that compare the supply and demand data with certain thresholds or criteria. Exceptions can be generated against any type of supply or demand source, such as planned orders, purchase orders, sales orders, transfer orders, work orders, etc.

 According to the Oracle Demand Management Cloud User Guide, the Demand Planner role is responsible for performing what-if analysis (A), reviewing product mix (B), and approving demand plan (E). These are major activities that come under the Demand Planner role. Resolving exceptions © and generating forecast (D) are not major activities that come under the Demand Planner role, but rather tasks that are performed by other roles such as Demand Analyst or Demand Administrator.

According to the Oracle SCM Business Process Certified Foundations Associate Rel 2 document1, backflush, auto transact, and auto charge are three settings that do not allow the Contract Manufacturer (CM) to report the completion of an operation to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). These settings are used to automate the material transactions and cost accounting for an operation. Backflush means that material is automatically issued to an operation when it is completed. Auto transact means that output is automatically reported for an operation when it is completed. Auto charge means that costs are automatically charged for an operation when it is completed. These settings reduce the manual intervention and data entry by the CM.
