Supply Chain Orchestration

Supply Chain Orchestration

Use REST API to Get Supply Sources for Internal Material Transfers

Use REST API to get the supply sources that can fulfill a request for an internal material transfer. Get the one source that can most effectively fulfill the request, or get a list of up to six sources, ranked according to how effectively they can fulfill the request. Get the actual quantity that's currently on hand in each source.

Include Reference Details for Supply Requests on REST API Error Messages

Add the value of the SupplyOrderReferenceNumber attribute and the SupplyOrderReferenceLineNumber attribute as a prefix on each error message that REST API returns when it processes a supply request. Use the prefix to troubleshoot problems with the request.

Use Service Mappings to Extend Supply Chain Orchestration's Integration with Inventory

Use a service mapping to help you integrate Oracle Fusion Cloud applications. Use the service mapping to help meet your specific integration requirements in your transfer order flow. Create a sales order in Oracle Order Management, orchestrate supply in Oracle Supply Chain Orchestration, then create a transfer order in Oracle Inventory Management. As an option, use an extensible flexfield to integrate data that's specific to your implementation. You can also use a service mapping to integrate data that travels from planning and purchasing, to supply chain orchestration, and then to inventory.

Collaboration Messaging Framework

Collaboration Messaging Framework

Log In-Process Inbound B2B Messages

Inbound B2B messages are now logged when their status is in-process. They're displayed in Collaboration Messaging History and are available for reprocessing in the case of unexpected errors.

Update Rules for Processing Complex Change Requests in Inbound Order Acknowledgments

Support additional PO acknowledgment scenarios, including automatically accepting promised ship and delivery dates, price updates as part of item substitutions, and supplier part number corrections.

Exchange B2B Messages with Your Trading Partners Using TIE Kinetix

Use the TIE Kinetix service provider for your B2B and electronic invoicing needs, including connectivity with your trading partners via the Pan-European Public Procurement Online (PEPPOL) network.

Define the File Extension for Your B2B Messages Delivered by Email or an Oracle Content Repository

Specify the file extension that meets your business process requirements when delivering B2B message files using email or the Oracle content repository.

Specify the Sender's Email Address for Outbound B2B Messages

Define the email address you want to use for sending B2B messages to your trading partners by email.

Retransmit Unsuccessful B2B Messaging-Enabled Purchase Orders

Review purchase orders that have B2B messaging enabled but were not transmitted and retransmit them in bulk.

Order Management

Order Management

Copy Order Lines in Revisions

You can already copy an order line in the Order Management work area when the sales order is in draft status. You can now also copy an order line when you revise the order.

Integrate Order Management with Subscription Management

Improve how you manage your order-to-cash flow for subscriptions. Fulfill each sales order more quickly when the order includes a physical item and a subscription or coverage item, such as an extended warranty, service level agreement, or preventive maintenance. Use REST API to import a source order that has physical items and subscriptions or coverages from your upstream order capture system, such as Configure, Price, and Quote. Use charges or rate plans to price the item. Use Oracle Order Management to orchestrate fulfillment for different order lines across applications, including Oracle Subscription Management, Oracle Supply Chain Management, Oracle Revenue Management, and Oracle Receivables. Use Order Management to create, update, or cancel each subscription or coverage item. Fulfill subscriptions and coverage items in a batch when you have a lot of them to process.

Copy Extensible Flexfield Values When You Copy Order Lines

Before update 23B, if a user copied an order line on the Edit Order page, and if the line had an extensible flexfield, then Oracle Order Management didn't copy the extensible flexfield value from the original line to the new line. After you update to 23B, if you enable the Copy Extensible Flexfield Values When You Copy an Order Line (ORA_FOM_COPY_EFF_ON_CPLN) profile option, then Order Management will automatically copy the extensible flexfield value.

Pricing

Use REST API to Manage Override Currencies for Pricing Strategies

Use the Pricing Strategies REST API to create, read, update, or delete an override currency for a pricing strategy. Use a finder to get all the override currencies that are currently active.

Use REST API to Manage Rate Plans

A rate plan is a collection of charges for a subscription and can include one-time charges, recurring charges, and usage charges. You can use REST API to create, read, update, or delete a rate plan on a price list. You can use a rate plan to determine the base price for a charge and apply a tier or attribute adjustment on a subscription. You can use a pricing matrix to specify the base price to use for each usage charge.

Configurator

Reduce the Startup Time for Large Configurator Models

Reduce the amount of time it takes Oracle Configurator to start when your configurator model references a large number of child models. If the model doesn't have any user-defined attributes or supplemental attributes, then Configurator won't attempt to load them into memory at run time.

Channel Revenue Management

Customer Channel Management

Creates and administers customer trade programs, which optimizes the execution and impact of programs and promotions across the supply chain.

Manage Customer Rebate Programs

Manage customer rebate programs to define the rules of a promotional agreement with your customers. Use configurable templates to create multiple programs. Define customer eligibility based on the customer, bill-to, or ship-to qualifiers. Define additional conditions based on an order type or a salesperson. Specify rebate amounts in terms of the percentage or the amount per unit.

Import Sales Orders and Calculate Accruals

Import sales orders data to a .CSV file. Channel Revenue Management uses this information to calculate rebate accruals according to the terms of the agreement with the customer.

Create, Resolve, and Settle Promotional Customer Claims

Create a claim to reimburse the customer for promotion-related earnings or to settle a deduction with promotion-related earnings. You can settle a deduction or claim by way of a credit memo.

View Checkbook for Customers

View and analyze the current financial status and performance of your customer programs. For a specific business unit and year, you can summarize by customer and drill down by program. You can view information about rebates that customers have earned, claims that are in-process and paid, and view the balance available for customer payment. Use the customer checkbook to understand how customers leverage your programs. Use the program checkbook to view the performance of individual programs.

Automate Accounting for Customer Program Accruals and Claims

Use Subledger Accounting to automate accounting of earned accruals and relief of claimed accruals. All accounting transactions are posted to the General Ledger.

Deductions and Settlement

Provides research, administration, analysis, and settlement functionalities to quickly resolve deductions and settle claims, improving customer relationships and overall financial performance.

Manage Deduction Claims Using Redwood Pages

Opt in to this feature to begin or to migrate your management of deductions to our new Redwood user interface. Use this feature to create manual claims, investigate, and settle all customer claims in Accounts Receivable.

Global Order Promising

Temporarily Reserve Supply While Shopping or Quoting

Temporarily reserve the supply for an item that you add to a shopping cart in an eCommerce application to prevent some other user from using that supply. You can also reserve supply for each of your sales quotes in your quote-to-cash flow.

High-Volume Order Promising

Order promising is a critical business process that must scale with demand and continue to operate even if hardware failures occur. Recent changes to Oracle Fusion Cloud Global Order Promising provide a scale-out architecture for availability checking and scheduling requests across a horizontal grid, enhancing capacity and resilience. The new architecture also reduces operational overhead, making supply and reference data updates immediately available, and eliminating the need to refresh/restart the order promising server.

Migration to the new architecture is continuing over several updates. Starting in update 24A, the C++-based order promising solution will be retired, and all order promising in Oracle Fusion Cloud will be performed using the high-volume order promising solution. You can transition to the new solution at any time by opting in to the High-Volume Order Promising feature. If you use capable to promise or allocated order promising, you must complete some setups before you make this transition. For details, see the Oracle Cloud Customer Connect Event SCM – Prepare for the Next Generation of Global Order Promising.

After you opt in to the feature named High-Volume Order Promising, you can use the feature described in this section.

Split Order Lines Only When Supply Meets a Minimum Threshold

Specify the minimum quantity of supply that must be available before you split a fulfillment line.
