Implementing Unconstrained Planning

 Install ASCP using the 11i rapid install process

1 Install
 Decide on deployment (one instance, distributed)

 Link Planning instance to ERP source instance

2 Setup
 Define profile options (optional)

 Run data collection process to collect ERP data for planning

3 Collect
 Collect from one or more source instances (optional)

 Define plan and plan options

4 Plan
 Run plan

5 Analyze  Launch Planner Workbench to analyze plans

Similar effort as deploying MRP – Reuse all existing

setups !
