ORACLE Advanced Planning Suite has a component architecture that separates the transaction data and associated processing (for example, inventory receipts and ORDER ENTRY) in a source instance from the planning calculations done in a destination instance. This allows planning calculations to be done on a different physical machine than the machine that performs transactions and results in BETTER system response. It also allows planning calculations (demand planning, inventory planning, supply planning and order promising) to be applied simultaneously to INFORMATION from across multiple source instances, which is useful when transaction information for a global supply chain is spread across multiple instances.
