Supply Chain Orchestration

Supply Chain Orchestration

Use REST API to Process Supply Request Lines that Pass Validation

Use the Create Supply Request REST API to process supply request lines that pass validation. If your supply request includes more than one supply request line, and if you set the AllowPartialRequestFlag attribute to Y in your REST API payload, then REST API will process the lines that pass validation. It won't process the lines that don't pass validation and mark them in error. If you set AllowPartialRequestFlag to N, and if any line in the supply request doesn't pass validation, then REST API will reject all lines in the request, including the ones that do pass validation. The default value for AllowPartialRequestFlag is N.

Use the Supply Chain Orchestration Work Area to Synchronize Supply Documents

Use the Supply Chain Orchestration work area to synchronize supply documents between Oracle Supply Chain Orchestration and Oracle Procurement. Use this feature in your outside processing flow when Supply Chain Orchestration can't record a purchase requisition or purchase order because of a technical failure.

Use Your Own Group Codes to Manage Purchase Requests in Buyer Planning

Use your own group codes to manage purchase requests in the Buyer Planning work area. You can already use predefined codes such as Buyer, Category, Item, Location, Supplier, and None. This new feature allows the buyer planner to create their own group code, and then use it to organize purchase requests into a group and take advantage of price breaks, order minimums, and so on. Supply Chain Orchestration will send the group code for each purchase request to Oracle Procurement. Procurement will group these purchase requests into purchase requisitions according to the value in the Group Code attribute.

Extend Supply Chain Orchestration's Integration with Inventory Management

Use a service mapping to help meet your specific integration requirements in your transfer order flow.  You can now include a change entity and other attributes when you map attributes between Oracle Supply Chain Orchestration and your inventory management system.

Prevent Duplicate Supply Requests for Back-to-Back Sales Orders

Prevent Oracle Supply Chain Orchestration from creating duplicate requests for supply when there's a problem in communicating the request from Oracle Order Management to Supply Chain Orchestration.

View Manual Reservations for Your Back-to-Back Sales Orders

View the reservations that you create manually in a back-to-back flow. View the supply orders, transfer orders, purchase orders, and work orders that fulfill these reservations even while Supply Chain Orchestration is still processing that supply.

Use High-Volume Order Processing with Supply Chain Orchestration for Configured Items

Use High-Volume Order Processing with Supply Chain Orchestration to orchestrate the supply that you need to fulfill configured items when you have a high volume of sales orders to process.

Integrate and Extend Procurement Using REST Services

In this update, Oracle Fusion Cloud Procurement and Oracle Fusion Cloud Self Service Procurement deliver new and modified REST APIs to enable and simplify integration with external systems.

Worklist: Notifications and Approvals Work Area Includes New Task Filter

In the Worklist: Notifications and Approvals Work Area, a drop-down list has been added to filter tasks by when they were created. This additional filter applies only to the default My Tasks view, showing tasks created in the last seven days by default. The filter's options include 7, 14, or 30 days. Select All to display a complete list of tasks for you and your groups. The filter drop-down is also available in BPM Worklist if the My Tasks view and Me & My Groups filter are selected, which is the default.

Procurement

Purchasing

Process Requisitions into Purchase Orders in the Invoice Currency of the Supplier Site

Use the invoice currency of the supplier site when creating purchase orders from requisitions. You can now create requisitions where the price is negotiated in a foreign currency and release purchase orders to fulfill them in the local currency of the business unit.

Generate Reports on Purchase Orders Where B2B Communication Was Overridden

Generate reports and inquiries on purchase orders for which B2B communication was overridden for another communication method by the buyer.

Supplier Model

Next Generation User Experience for Supplier Self-Service Registration

Next generation supplier self-service registration streamlines supplier onboarding; improving completion rate and reducing support from your organization.

Sourcing

Add Requisitions to an Existing Negotiation

When processing requisitions, you can add new requisitions to a draft or active negotiation. When adding requisitions to an active negotiation an amendment is created.

Create Purchasing Documents from a Large Negotiation

Use a background process to create purchasing documents when awarding large negotiations.

Capture New Supplier Items in Negotiations

Capture new supplier items in supplier responses and pass them to purchasing documents created during award. Automatically add these new supplier items to item relationships in Product Information Management using BU configuration.

Allow Scoring Only Members to Message Suppliers

Control whether a scoring only member can send or receive supplier messages during negotiation.

Copy Requisition Header Attachments to The Negotiation Header

Copy requisition header attachments to the negotiation header instead of each negotiation line.

Spend Classification

Create Reports in OTBI with Data from Expenses and Oracle Spend Classification

Use real-time data from Spend Classification that is now provided in the Expense Transactions Real Time subject area within Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence. Create new reports or update your existing reports, by adding approved category predictions from Spend Classification to further your analysis and improve your reporting.

Procurement Contracts

Display Header and Footer on Downloaded Word Document

You can add images, logos, and contract attributes such as the contract number, contract type, party name and so on, to the header or footer of your layout template. If you download the contract to Microsoft Word in DOCX format, the header and footer content is now displayed which provides contextual information to easily identify to which contract the document relates. This improves the consistency of the contract when viewed across different formats such as RTF, Word, or PDF.

Option to Review and Accept Changes When Checking In

When you check in a structured terms document from OCM, you can choose to review and accept the changes in the contract application instead of overriding the contract terms directly.
