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.
Accept Complex Change Requests in Inbound Purchase Order Acknowledgments
Accept complex change requests at the line or schedule level in inbound purchase order acknowledgments. These changes can include promised ship and delivery dates, price, quantity, and partial backorders.
Exchange B2B Messages Using the AS2 Protocol
Send and receive B2B messages using the AS2 message exchange protocol via Oracle B2B, which improves security and reliability. Security is enhanced using digital certificates and encryption.
Simplify B2B Setup for Suppliers
Set up your suppliers for B2B messaging on Oracle Business Network using a simplified task flow.
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.
View VMI Items Needing Replenishment in Requiring Attention Infolet
Display vendor-managed inventory items that require attention, such as out of stock, or violating minimum quantity, in the Requiring Attention infolet making it easier for your suppliers to identify items requiring replenishment.
View Supplier On-Hand Quantities
Enable planners to have full visibility into a supplier's on-hand quantity by item.
Simplify Republishing of Order Forecasts for New Relationships
Republish order forecasts automatically when new collaboration relationships are created from collaboration candidates.
Use a Spreadsheet to Request Transfer Orders That Include Project Data and Descriptive Flexfields
Use a spreadsheet to create supply requests for transfer orders that include project data and descriptive flexfields on transfer order lines.
Close Supply Orders in Outside Processing and Plan-to-Produce Flows
Use a scheduled process to close supply orders that are open but that don't have pending actions.
Create Supply in Response to a Request for an Internal Material Transfer
Automatically create supply in response to a request for a single internal material transfer. Use a reservation to link supply to the transfer order. Global Order Promising determines the supply source to use for the transfer, such as a work order in manufacturing, a purchase order, or a transfer order from a different warehouse.
Use an Alternative Supply Source to Fulfill Sales Orders in Back-to-Back Flows
If the original supply source for a sales order gets canceled in a back-to-back flow, then use an alternative supply source to fulfill the sales order.
