Set up your Oracle Cloud applications so you can order, price, receive, pick, pack, and ship an item that you enable with primary and secondary UOM tracking. You might need to order, transfer, outsource, or buy an item in a unit of measure that's different from the unit of measure that you use to price, invoice, and cost it.
For example, you might stock and sell meat in cases, but price it in pounds. Each case of meat has a different price because the total weight in pounds varies from one case to the next, but you need to give your buyers an estimated price for each case.
You can use the dual UOM solution to meet this requirement. It's an end-to-end, integrated solution that works across the Oracle Cloud applications and helps you:
- Simultaneously track an item in the primary UOM and secondary UOM throughout your order-to-cash process and procure-to-pay processes.
- Capture the actual weight of the item that you sell, transfer, or purchase, so you can accurately price, invoice, and cost the item.
- Provide a price estimate at the time of sale or purchase and maximize value according to the exact weight that you ship or receive.
Here are the Oracle Product Lifecycle Management Cloud enhancements to the dual UOM solution that are available in this update:
- Update Pricing UOM for Dual UOM Items
- Define and Use Dual UOM Items and Substitutes Effectively by Leveraging New Validations
Update Pricing UOM for Dual UOM Items
Allow changes to the pricing UOM for items that are defined as having dual UOMs.
Define and Use Dual UOM Items and Substitutes Effectively by Leveraging New Validations
Leverage new validations when creating substitute relationships for your dual UOM items. The validations ensure an accurate substitute is defined.
Leverage a Unique Number Attribute for Proposals
Identify each product proposal with a unique, autogenerated number to ensure that a consistent value is available for reference.
Extend Innovation Management REST Services
Use REST services to manage solution alternatives for concept components and to get the next status for product proposals.
Quickly Enter Reference Designators
Enter reference designators inline with the item component directly on the item structure tab. Use a comma-separated list of values, or a range, or a mix of both, to enter multiple values.
Allow Suppliers to View Only Item Structure and Where Used Reports
Use a new duty role to give suppliers granular access only to the Item Structure and Where Used reports.
Export and Import Item Class Attribute Group Assignments
Export and import item class attribute group assignments. You can now assign Product Hub Portal attributes and attribute groups for the Functional Item, Matching, and Overview pages.
Purge Automatically Generated Import Maps
Use the Upgrade Product Management Data scheduled process to delete import maps that are automatically created when you edit items using a spreadsheet.
Leverage New Item Attribute for Controlling the Supply Creation Date
Leverage a new item attribute that is used to control the date after which, the item can be used to create supply for Oracle Fusion Supply Planning.
Use Enhanced Import Map Smart Spreadsheet User Interface
Use the enhanced import map smart spreadsheet to easily create and update items. The smart spreadsheet layout has been improved for better usability.
Query Additional Attributes Using the Items List of Values REST Resource
Use the Items List of Values REST resource to query additional item attributes, item category associations, and item relationships.
NOTE: This feature was also made available in a monthly update of 21C.
Product Development & Product Hub Common
Accelerate Error Debugging for Changes
Improve error logging to enable quick debugging and resolution of change order errors.
Enrich Supplier-Specific Item Attributes Using Product Hub Portal
Add supplier organization association details in Product Hub Portal. Suppliers can now associate a supplier address and enrich its corresponding extensible flexfield values while creating or editing the products.
Product Lifecycle Management Common
Use Assignee Role As Backup for Assignee
Specify the assignee role in addition to the assignee so that anyone from the role can take over the assignee's tasks if the assignee becomes unavailable. You can do this for change orders, change requests, problem reports, and corrective actions.
Identify Who Assigned a Change Task
See who assigned a change task and when it was assigned. New attributes in the Tasks table and in notifications now capture these details.
Control Role Expansion: New Item Request Definition
Avoid automatically expanding a role to show its members in the Definition status table if only one response is required on behalf of the role. A flat list replaces the tree table for quicker loading and readability. All members of the role will receive approval notifications, and you can still keep track of who signed off on behalf of the role.
