MSC Plan Order Upload
Description:
Report: MSC Plan Orders Upload Description: Upload to action Plan Order recommendations.
This upload can be used to either select for release or release Plan Order Recommendations from ASCP planning instances.
Currently supported recommendations that can be actioned by this upload are:
- Planned Order Releases
- Reschedule In/Out recommendations
Additionally, it allows the user to amend the recommended Implement Date and/or Quantity.
In the generated Excel the user can amend the following columns:
- Implement Date
- Implement Quantity
- Update Release Status
Update Release Status can be either
- Select for Release
- Release the Order
This is determined by the Report Parameter: Upload Mode
For plan orders not yet selected for release, to amend the implement date and/or implement quantity, the Update Release Status column must also be specified as ‘Select for Release’ or ‘Release the Order’ against the Plan Order. If a plan order is already selected for release, then the user can amend the implement date and/or quantity in the generated excel without specifying a value in the Update Release Status column.
The report parameter Upload mode determines the allowable action to be taken against the plan order recommendations in the upload (‘Select for Release’ or ‘Release the Order’)
The report parameter Auto Populate Release Status if set to Yes, will automatically populate the ‘Update Release Status’ column and set the status to pending validation against all downloaded plan order recommendations in the generated excel. In this scenario, the generated excel can be saved and uploaded without the user needing to manually review and select the specific plan orders to be updated in the generated excel

MSC Plan Order Upload - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
The MSC Plan Order Upload is a powerful tool that allows planners to “action” the recommendations from the ASCP plan in bulk. Instead of manually clicking “Release” on hundreds of planned orders in the Planner’s Workbench, users can download the recommendations to Excel, review/modify them, and upload the release actions back to Oracle.
Business Challenge
The “Planner’s Workbench” UI can be slow and cumbersome for mass updates.
- Mass Release: “I have 500 planned orders for next week. I want to release them all to Purchasing at once.”
- Modifications: “I need to change the dates on 50 orders before releasing them. Doing this one by one takes hours.”
- Review Process: “I want to review the plan in Excel, filter for my suppliers, and then mark the ones I approve for release.”
Solution
The MSC Plan Order Upload bridges the gap between analysis (Excel) and execution (Oracle).
Key Features:
- Action Support: Supports “Release”, “Reschedule In”, and “Reschedule Out” actions.
- Modification: Allows users to change the Implement Date and Implement Quantity before releasing.
- Auto-Release: Can be configured to automatically set the release status for all downloaded rows.
Technical Architecture
The tool uses a WebADI-style upload mechanism to update the plan tables.
Key Tables and Views
MSC_SUPPLIES: The table storing the planned orders.MSC_SYSTEM_ITEMS: Item validation.MSC_PLAN_ORGANIZATIONS: Plan context.
Core Logic
- Download: Retrieves Planned Orders based on criteria (Plan, Org, Planner).
- User Action: The user updates the “Update Release Status” column (e.g., to ‘Release’) and optionally modifies dates/quantities.
- Upload: The tool updates the corresponding records in
MSC_SUPPLIESwith the new status and values. - Execution: A subsequent concurrent request (in Oracle) processes these marked records and generates the actual WIP Jobs or Purchase Requisitions.
Business Impact
- Productivity: Reduces the time spent on administrative tasks (releasing orders) by 90%.
- Accuracy: Reduces manual data entry errors during the release process.
- Control: Gives planners a familiar environment (Excel) to review and approve the plan before execution.
Oracle E-Business Suite Reporting Library
We provide an open source Oracle EBS SQLs as a part of operational and project implementation support toolkits for rapid Excel reports generation.
Blitz Report™ is based on Oracle EBS forms technology, and hence requires minimal training. There are no data or performance limitations since the output files are created directly from the database without going through intermediate file formats such as XML.
Blitz Report can be used as BI Publisher and Oracle Discoverer replacement tool. Standard Oracle BI Publisher and Discoverer reports can also be imported into Blitz Report for immediate output to Excel. Typically, reports can be created and version tracked within hours instead of days. The concurrent request output automatically opens upon completion without the need for re-formatting.
The Filters, Columns, Rows and Values fields are used to create and deliver the data in pivot table format with full drill down to details.

The Excel template upload functionality in Blitz Report allows users to create their own layouts by uploading an Excel template with additional sheets and charts, automatically refreshed when the report runs again. This allows to create custom dashboards and more advanced visualizations of report data.

You can download and use Blitz Report free of charge for your first 30 reports.
The installation and implementation process usually takes less than 1 hour; you can refer to our installation and user guides for specific details.
