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.
Obsolete Tasks for Managing Undelivered and Failed Messages
Search for messages in Error, Failed, or Success statuses using the Manage Collaboration Messaging History task. You're no longer required to use the Manage Undelivered Collaboration Messages and Manage Failed Collaboration Messages tasks.
View XML Payload Sent to Trading Partners Without Wrapper
View the entire outbound message XML payload sent to trading partners using the Manage Collaboration Messaging History task. The XML payload does not include the internal processing wrapper that was used in earlier updates.
Integrate and Extend Collaboration Messaging Framework Using REST Services
Query Collaboration Message Definitions Using a REST Service
Use a public REST API to query collaboration message definitions set up in Oracle Collaboration Messaging Framework Cloud.
Query B2B Location Codes Using a REST Service
Use a public REST API to query B2B location codes that are set up in Oracle Collaboration Messaging Framework Cloud.
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.
Manage Drop Ship Collaboration Order Forecasts
Aggregate drop ship collaboration order forecasts, commits, and purchase orders at the organization level so that planners can view and manage them.
Create Aggregated Time Buckets Without Order Forecast Values at Week or Period Level
Simplify the process of entering order forecasts and commits values in future weeks or periods when no order forecast is available in that time bucket.
Download and Upload Order Forecasts and Commits in Horizontal Layout
Allow suppliers to download order forecasts, make commits, and upload data in a format that matches the online workbench, using rows of item-location-measure combinations and time bucket columns.
Use Planner's Preferred Date Format in Spreadsheet Uploads and Downloads
Format dates according to the collaboration planner's regional preference when uploading or downloading spreadsheets that contain vendor-managed inventory replenishment requests or collaboration order forecasts.
