MSC Vertical Plan - Case Study & Technical Analysis
Executive Summary
The MSC Vertical Plan provides a bucketed view of the plan, similar to the Horizontal Plan, but typically oriented to show the detailed composition of supply and demand within each bucket. It is often used to analyze the specific transactions that make up the totals seen in the Horizontal Plan.
Business Challenge
Planners see a total number in the Horizontal Plan (e.g., “Demand: 500”) and need to know what comprises it.
- Drill-Down: “The Horizontal Plan shows a huge spike in demand in Week 4. What orders are causing that?”
- Composition: “How much of this week’s supply is coming from Purchase Orders versus Work Orders?”
Solution
The MSC Vertical Plan lists the bucketed totals and can be used to drill down into details.
Key Features:
- Bucketed View: Shows data in time periods (Days/Weeks).
- Detailed Rows: Can break down the totals by transaction type or specific order.
- Comparison: Useful for comparing supply vs. demand side-by-side for each period.
Technical Architecture
The report queries the vertical plan view in ASCP.
Key Tables and Views
MSC_VERTICAL_PLAN_V: A view specifically designed to aggregate and present plan data in a vertical format.MSC_PLANS: Plan definition.MSC_PERIOD_START_DATES: Defines the time buckets.
Core Logic
- Aggregation: Groups supply and demand data by Item, Organization, and Date Bucket.
- Presentation: Lists the buckets vertically (hence the name), allowing for more detailed columns than the horizontal pivot.
Business Impact
- Root Cause Analysis: Helps planners quickly identify the specific orders driving aggregate plan results.
- Plan Validation: Used to verify that the bucketing logic is working as expected.
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.
If you would like to optimize your Oracle EBS implementation and or operational reporting you can visit www.enginatics.com to review great ideas and example usage in blog. Or why not try for yourself in our demo environment.
