Timeline

In Scope

Technical: TIMELINE | ID: OR-MFCS-TIMELINE

Stores one row for each timeline that can be defined within Oracle Retail. A timeline is used to create a series of dates (held on the TIMELINE_STEPS table) which can then be used to attach to an order to track certain dates (e.g., supplier confirmed receipt of order, on suppliers dock, received at dock, received at reconditioning center, etc.) to be assigned to facilitate tracking throughout the life cycle of the purchase order.

Use Cases

Initial load, rehearsal loads, cutover

Sequencing

Load during Open Transactions to stage transactional records only after prerequisite master data and opening positions are stable. Load once prerequisite cross-domain reference data is available so TIMELINE can be established cleanly. Sequence this object with its purchasing peers so MFCS processing can consume it without synthetic defaults. (Inferred from vendor object description, current scope dependencies, and Oracle Retail MFCS documentation.)

Cutover

Load during Stage 2 / .

Data Governance

Requires business ownership and source-to-target crosswalk governance.
