Supply Chain Orchestration

Supply Chain Orchestration

Improve Supply Tracking for Sales Orders in Your Back-to-Back Flows

Oracle Supply Chain Orchestration no longer closes the supply order when the first shipment happens for a partial shipment in a back-to-back flow. The supply order remains open until shipping ships all of the supply or until Oracle Order Management cancels the request. Orchestration will also continue to orchestrate changes in demand and supply as long as the supply order remains open.

Procurement Common

Common Procurement

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.

Get News Feed Suggestions On Your Next Likely Actions

Get suggestions on your next likely actions in your news feed layout. This feature is currently in Controlled Availability and is available in Oracle Fusion Cloud Procurement. Artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms predict and suggest the actions each user is most likely to take during a session. The algorithms use historic navigation behavior and patterns of each user and users like them to determine which navigation target they’re most likely to visit.

Self Service Procurement

Self Service Procurement

Project Cost Distribution Using Award Funding Patterns

Define funding patterns to distribute project costs to awards and funding source combinations. Specify an expenditure item date range and task level to apply distribution rules that automatically split sponsored project costs. Automating the distribution throughout the procure-to-pay lifecycle ensures charging accuracy and removes the need to manually enter the award charging instructions. Grants administrators manage the funding patterns to ensure proper cost distribution throughout the duration of the sponsored project.

Resend Approval Email Notifications

Leverage the ability to resend email notifications for any in-progress transactions in the Transaction Console.

Archive Reminder in Transaction Console

The Transaction Console work area now displays a yellow banner that reminds users to archive completed transactions. The banner displays when the archive process hasn't been run in the past 3 months.

Diagnostic Log Availability and Attachments in Transaction Console

Take advantage of these enhancements to diagnostic logs in the Transaction Console work area:

• Transaction Console administrators can now download the diagnostic log for healthy pending transactions as well.
• The diagnostic log now also includes details of all the attachments added at any stage of the transaction.

Responsive Self Service Procurement Application

Manage Requisition Preferences Through the Responsive Self Service Procurement Application

Manage requisition preferences using the Responsive Self Service Procurement application. You can now view, create, or update requisition preferences such as requisitioning business unit, delivery location, and favorite charge accounts while procuring goods and services using the Responsive Self Service Procurement application. Before this update, you could only use the Oracle Self Service Procurement application to manage requisition preferences.

Shop for Master Items and Items Available on Blanket Agreements from a Punchout Site through the Responsive Self Service Procurement Application

Integrate punchout catalogs with an external marketplace. You can now shop for master items and agreement-based catalog items from a punchout site instead of only description-based expense items through the Responsive Self Service Procurement application.

Capture Notes to Supplier in the Responsive Self Service Procurement Application

Add specific requests or information to various Suppliers involved in the procurement process. Before this feature, as a requester, you couldn’t add specific instructions or requests on a requisition line except through attachments.

Project-Driven Supply Chain

Project-Driven Supply Chain is an end-to-end, integrated solution across the Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM and Oracle Fusion Cloud Project Management 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.

Apply Budgetary Control on Internally Sourced Requisitions Expensed to Projects

Check for funds availability and reserve funds against control budgets when you raise internally sourced requisitions that are expensed to projects.
