Today’s global supply chains increase manufacturers’ reliance on suppliers, contract manufacturers, and other trading partners. To be successful, companies must synchronize their activities across multiple tiers of trading parties. Oracle Supply Chain Collaboration Cloud enables companies to jointly plan supply, gain visibility into trading partner data, coordinate contract manufacturing execution, and measure performance across their trading networks. Trading partners are actively involved in the decision-making process, so they can exchange early warning signs and collaboratively resolve supply chain issues. Depending on the size and technical sophistication of each supplier, your company can interact using a portal-based user interface, standards-based B2B messages, or web services. Customers can also tailor Oracle Supply Chain Collaboration Cloud’s flexible, predefined business processes to their unique requirements. Enhanced collaboration results in more dynamic trading relationships, as well as increased reliability and efficiency of supply.
Integrate and Extend Supply Chain Collaboration Using REST Services
Oracle Supply Chain Collaboration Cloud provides web services to enable and simplify integration with external systems.
Manage Collaboration Planners Using a REST Service
Use a public REST API to create and manage collaboration planners. You can use this service to define collaboration planners at the ship-from/supplier level or the ship-from/supplier site level, depending upon whether you want the planners to have access to all sites and items collaborated with the specific supplier, or only to items from a specific supplier site.
Manage Collaboration Order Forecast Requests Using a REST Service
Use a public REST API to create and manage current collaboration cycle order forecasts from external planning applications. You can also use this service to submit mid-cycle updates to order forecasts, and to monitor the status of your forecast submissions.
Manage Collaboration Order Forecast History Using a REST Service
Use a public REST API to view and manage archived collaboration cycle order forecasts and commits received from external planning applications in addition to Oracle Planning Central Cloud and Oracle Supply Planning Cloud. You can use this REST API to retrieve the archived order forecasts for analytical purposes across multiple collaboration cycles.
Manage Collaboration Order Forecasts Using a REST Service
Use a public REST API to view and manage current collaboration cycle order forecasts from Oracle Planning Central Cloud, Oracle Supply Planning Cloud and from external planning applications. You can use this REST API to update the order forecast in the current collaboration cycle, or make mid-cycle changes.
Collaboration Messaging Framework
Business-to-business (B2B) messaging is a key component of collaborative relationships and can increase the quality, quantity, and frequency of information that can be exchanged between trading partners. However, the differences in B2B standards, technical capabilities of trading partners, and the diversity of trading partners can make this costly to establish and maintain. Oracle Supply Chain Collaboration and Visibility Cloud manages B2B communications with trading partners by leveraging the Oracle Collaboration Messaging Framework, a next-generation B2B messaging platform that maps and routes standards-based B2B messages through a B2B solution provider, on-premise B2B application, or direct to the trading partner. Oracle Collaboration Messaging Framework is a common infrastructure component that is included with all Oracle Cloud Applications environments at no additional charge. It is also tightly integrated with Oracle Cloud Applications, making it easy for Oracle Supply Chain Collaboration Cloud customers to set up and manage multiple trading partner connections.
Manage B2B Message Transactions Using a REST Service
Use a public REST API to view all B2B messages that Collaboration Messaging Framework processes. You can also view this information online by clicking the Manage Collaboration Messaging History task.
Support PEPPOL for European Regulatory Requirements
Support PEPPOL regulatory requirements by sending and receiving invoices using the UBL XML format. This B2B message is provided in addition to the standard OAGIS XML format.
Use Infolets to View Collaboration Messaging Status
Use new infolets available in the Collaboration Messaging work area to monitor the status of inbound and outbound B2B messages with your trading partners.
Send a B2B Message to Multiple Trading Partners
Send a B2B message to more than one recipient for situations when more than one trading partner requires the same type of information to complete your business process. For example, when you send a purchase order to a supplier, you may also want to send a copy of that PO to a third-party service provider that processes invoices received from suppliers.
Add Line-Level Detail to Outbound Acknowledge PO
Send customers an Outbound Acknowledge Purchase Order B2B message that includes line-level details such as item, quantity, price, ship-to.
Integrate and Extend Supply Chain Orchestration Using REST Services
Create and View Production Reports Using a REST Service
Use a REST service to send production report data, including material consumption and operation completion. You can use this service to cost-effectively get production updates from your contract manufacturers and avoid errors that are associated with manual entry. You can also use this service to retrieve previously reported production report data.
Create and View Supply Requests Using a REST Service
Use a REST service to create, view, or modify an interorganization or intraorganization material transfer request to an inventory or expense destination. You can use this service to streamline integration to external systems and reduce integration costs.
Manage Configured Items Using a REST Service
Use a REST API to expose a configured item structure to the calling application. The returned structure consists of customer-selected options (that is, the sales structure, including option classes and options), mandatory items, substitute items, and transactional item attributes. You can also use the public web service to provide item configuration details to manufacturers and buyers, and to help shippers prepare accurate customs-compliant shipping documents.
