Project-Driven Supply Chain is an end-to-end, integrated solution across the Oracle Supply Chain Management and Project Management Cloud applications. This solution is designed to support various business processes of manufacturing and asset-intensive companies.
You can use the Project-Driven Supply Chain solution to manage your supply chain processes in the context of projects without creating separate organizations for each project. You can also capture supply chain costs as project expenditures.
Create Supply in Back-to-Back Flows for Sales Orders That Include Project Details
Create a sales order that includes project details. You can now use supply that's specific to the project when you fulfill the item in a back-to-back flow. Send project details to the purchase order, transfer order, or work order. You can also collect expenditure details for the project in Oracle Project Financials Cloud.
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.
Automate Processing of Inbound Order B2B Messages
Initiate scheduled processes to automatically import inbound order B2B messages into Oracle Order Management Cloud.
Exchange Messages with Oracle Business Network Using the cXML B2B Protocol
Use predefined cXML message definitions to exchange B2B messages with Oracle Business Network.
Manage B2B Messages to Synchronize External Supply Information with Supply Chain Planning
Receive B2B messages from external organizations and process the information in the messages to synchronize on-hand balances, purchase orders, and work order details with Oracle Supply Chain Collaboration Cloud and Oracle Supply Chain Planning Cloud. This helps you to automate the update of multitiered supply plans that identify upstream material availability.
Cancel Supply Lines for Work Orders That Involve Outside Processing
Keep your supply lines up to date with your work orders. If Oracle Fusion Purchasing hasn't created a requisition for or cancels the purchase order for a work order, then you can use the Supply Orchestration work area to cancel the supply line that fulfills the work order. Canceling the supply line allows manufacturing to resend the request.
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.
