Feature Summary

Collaboration Messaging Framework

Retrieve Large Purchase Order Payloads for B2B Messaging

Configure Oracle Collaboration Messaging Framework to process large purchase orders (typically more than 2,000-lines) when you initiate B2B communication. The payload for a large purchase order is retrieved in small parts from Oracle Purchasing and then combined and delivered as one purchase order, resulting in improved performance. This feature is available in the May monthly maintenance pack for update 22B.

After you enable the feature, enter a value in the Large PO Processing section of the Manage Collaboration Messaging Configuration page in the Large PO Minimum Line Count field to specify the minimum number of lines in a large PO. Then enter a value in the PO Lines Retrieved in a Single Query field to specify the number of lines to retrieve from Oracle Purchasing in each part (1000 lines by default). The values you set in the Large PO Delivery Duration (30 minutes by default) and Large PO Delivery Attempt Interval (3 minutes by default) fields indicate how long and how often to attempt delivery of the PO.

Inventory Management

Project-Driven Supply Chain

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

After you opt in to the feature named Project-Driven Supply Chain, you can use the feature described in this section.

Release Recommendations for Transfers of Project Supplies

In a variety of project-driven enterprises, only a subset of supplies of an item can be used to satisfy the demand for that item. The typical approach is to dedicate supplies to particular projects or tasks by striping the supplies and demands by project and task attributes. For example, on-hand inventory or purchase orders would be striped by project and task. In this scenario, only the on-hand or purchase order supply that match the project and task requirements can be used to satisfy say, a sales order demand. However, this approach may lead to situations where you have excess supplies for some projects.

To reduce inventory costs, it’s useful to check for excess supplies across projects prior to ordering new supply for a project. You can set up flexible rules to enable this type of search when plans are created using the Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Planning work area.

With this update, the result of such a plan will produce a recommendation to move supplies from one project or task with excess to another with a shortage. Planners can choose to reduce excess in your project supplies by releasing recommendations from the plan to change the project attribution on the following documents, and the subsequent execution steps will proceed accordingly:

• Purchase order schedules that aren't received or invoiced
• Transfer order lines that aren't shipped
• Work orders with unreleased status
• On-hand inventory  which is either striped with project and task or not striped with project ans task common inventory

Example of how you can configure plan options to release recommendations for transfer of project supplies:

Example of how you can release recommendations for transfer of project supplies from Supply Planning:

Example of how you can release recommendations for transfer of common supplies to a project from Supply Planning:

After opt in is enabled, perform these steps to begin consuming forecasts by planning attributes including project and task:

1. Create an unconstrained supply plan or demand and supply plan
2. Assign an attribute-based netting rule with Project Group, Project, and Task planning attributes
3. Select the Enable movement of supply between projects and tasks option in the General subtab of the Supply tab
4. Run the plan
5. Release recommendations for transfer  of project supplies to Oracle Cloud SCM

Tips And Considerations

• Common supplies reserved to project demands can't be released for transfer of project supplies to Oracle Cloud SCM.

• Common and project In-transit shipments, shipments in receiving, and purchase requisition supplies pegged to project demands with a different project and task can't be released for transfer of project supplies to oracle Cloud SCM.

• Common transfer orders interfaced to order management pegged to project demands can't be released for transfer of project supplies to Oracle Cloud SCM.

• On hand project transfers in Inventory will be transacted in First In First Out basis

• The Number of Days to Calculate Pegging plan option should be either null or equal to plan horizon. Release of recommendations for transfer of project supplies is supported for supplies and demands for which pegging is computed by the plan.

Inventory Management

Reserve Common Inventory for Project Orders Using Inventory Reservation FBDI

When using the Inventory Reservation file-based data import (FBDI) template to create project-based order reservations in bulk, you need the ability for these reservations to consider your common on-hand balance. Previously, when importing reservations using the FBDI template, the reservations process only considered on-hand material for the exact designation provided. This meant that a reservation for a project-based demand never considered your common on-hand balance for that material even if you enabled the use of common material.

Now, when importing project-based order reservations using the FBDI template, if you allow the use of common on-hand goods, the reservation process first reserves against project material. If there isn’t enough on hand for project-designated material, the process reserves against your common on-hand balance.

Here's part of a sample template to reserve a project-based sales order.

Inventory Reservation FBDI Template to Automatically Reserve Project-Based Order to Project and Common Inventory

This feature provides you the ability to more efficiently use both your project-designated and common on-hand material when importing a large number of reservations using the Inventory Reservation FBDI template.

Watch a Demo.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

You can pick from common inventory to fulfill demand if the item definition is set up for usage of common inventory.

Key Resources

• Watch the Reserve Common Inventory for Project Orders using Inventory Reservation FBDI Demo.

Role And Privileges

You have a couple of options for giving people access to this feature, depending on whether you're assigning them to predefined job roles or your own configured job roles.

  • Inventory Transactional Analysis Duty (FBI_INVENTORY_TRANSACTION_ANALYSIS_DUTY)

Use the Inventory Attribute Transaction Requests REST Resource

Changes in project demands or schedules can leave you with unbalanced supply across your projects. If you’re using an external project planning system that recommends reallocating your goods across projects to ensure you meet your project deadlines, you need the ability to quickly adjust the project designation of your on-hand balances. Now, you can use the Inventory Attribute Transaction REST resource to update the project and task assignments for your on-hand goods.

The Inventory Attribute Transaction Requests REST resource only requires you to specify the organization, item, quantity, unit of measure, source project and task, and destination project and task. Then, Oracle Fusion Cloud Inventory Management uses FIFO logic to move the specified quantity from your source project and task to your destination project and task. Additionally, the Inventory Attribute Transaction Requests REST resource supports moving common material into a project and task designation, and project material into a common designation.

The Inventory Attribute Transaction Requests REST resource lets you quickly and easily execute project transfer recommendations from an external project planning system.

Steps to Enable

Review the REST service definition in the REST API guides, available from the Oracle Help Center > your apps service area of interest > REST API. If you're new to Oracle's REST services you may want to begin with the Quick Start section.

Reserve Unreleased Orders Using FBDI

Unforeseen emergencies or natural disasters can generate demand spikes that quickly drive your on-hand quantities well below what's required to meet demand, or possibly even down to zero. When this happens, you need a way to reserve supply for priority orders before releasing the order to your warehouse. Previously, you had to create these reservations manually using the Manage Reservations and Picks page, but now you can create these reservations using the file-based data import process.

Here's part of a sample template to create a reservation for an unreleased sales order using FBDI.

Create Reservation for Unreleased Sales Order Using Reservation FBDI Template

This feature helps you effectively create a larger number of reservations to incoming supply when on-hand quantity unexpectedly runs out. You can now efficiently and proactively plan your supply chain by reserving supplies against priority demands before releasing the order to your warehouse to manage unexpected changes. As a result, you have increased control of the fulfillment process.

Watch a Demo.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

If you invoke the Manage Reservation Interface process and the Generate Shipment Request REST service concurrently for the same set of orders or for the same set of organization or item combinations, then we recommend you use the INV_RSV_CONCURRENCY_CHECK profile and set it to Y. With the profile set to Y, only one process at a time can acquire the lock and process the reservations. The other process must wait in a queue to acquire the lock and process the reservations in a sequence.

Selected Inventory Management Bug Fixes in This Update

This update includes some bug fixes that can change the way Oracle Inventory Management works. This isn't a full list of all the bug fixes in this update. This list includes the bug fixes that can cause a noticeable change in application behavior.

Create PAR Replenishment Requisition in Ordering UOM    

The PAR replenishment purchase requisition is now created in the ordering UOM instead of the item's primary UOM. Additionally, the purchase requisition is only created when there's a corresponding purchase agreement in the ordering UOM.  

Oracle reference: 33519211

Relax Restrictions for Locator Control Changes for the Inventory Organization    

We've relaxed restrictions for locator control changes to improve flexibility when business requirements change. You can now update the locator control setting for the inventory organization from no locator control to locator control, which is determined at the subinventory level.     

Oracle reference: 33567700

Prevent Overreservation in Steps Using FBDI    

File-based data import (FBDI) no longer lets you reserve quantity over the demand quantity when you perform a reservation in steps. Let's say you have a sales order for 10. At first you create reservation for 6 using FBDI. In a subsequent run, when you attempt to create another reservation for 5 using FBDI, it errors the reservation record because you can't reserve quantity in excess of the demand quantity.    

Oracle reference: 33819451

Transfer Reservation from Purchase Order to On-Hand Quantity Only for the Demand Quantity    

When you reserve an unreleased sales order to a purchase order for a quantity that's more than the demand quantity, on putaway, the transfer of reservation to on-hand quantity is now only allowed for the demand quantity.     

Oracle reference: 33819451

Reuse Reservation Batch ID in Reservation FBDI Template to Reprocess Error Reservation    

You can now reuse the reservation batch ID (reservation_batch_id) to reprocess an error reservation interface record.  

Oracle reference:  33819451

Add Column to Inventory Reservation Interface for Error Details     

The new Error Explanation column in the Inventory Reservation Interface provides additional details on an error.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Receiving

Capture Lot and Serial Numbers for Work Order Destination Receipts

When receiving goods procured for a specific work order, there are instances when you need the ability to capture specific lot and serial information for those goods. For instance, while performing repairs on a piece of company equipment that is asset-tracked, you realize that a major component needs to be replaced. You submit a purchase requisition and indicate that the goods are specifically for the work order you are using to perform the repairs. Because this major component is serialized and the equipment you are repairing is asset tracked, you need the ability to capture the component's serial number when it arrives from the vendor to ensure the asset hierarchy is updated to reflect the replacement. Now, you have the ability to capture a good's lot or serial number information for work order destination receipts during put away for standard and inspection-based receipts, or during receipt for direct delivery receipts in warehouse receiving. The lot and serial information then passes to Oracle Fusion Cloud Installed Base if the item is enabled for asset tracking and product genealogy if the item is enabled for genealogy tracking.

Key enhancements for this feature include:

• Capture lot and serial numbers for work order destination receipts on the Receive Lines and Put Away Lines pages.

• Return or correct receipts for work order destination purchase orders with specific lot and serial numbers. You must use the Return Receipts and Correct Receipts pages in Receiving.

• View lot and serial numbers on the View Transaction History page in Inventory Management.

Receive Lines

Additional key enhancements include:

• Return or correct outside processing items from the Manufacturing and Maintenance pages.

• View lot and serial numbers for work order destination receipts of manually procured items in the Review Production Transaction History and Review Maintenance Transaction History pages in Manufacturing and Maintenance respectively.

Review Production Transaction History

This feature lets you capture your lot and serial information for work order destination receipts and automatically associates that data with the respective installed base and genealogy records for more accurate and efficient asset tracking. This helps in efficient maintenance of assets based on lot and serial numbers.

Watch a Demo.

Steps to Enable

Use the Opt In UI to enable this feature. For instructions, refer to the Optional Uptake of New Features section of this document.

Offering: Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management  No Longer Optional From: Update 22D

Tips And Considerations

• Once you opt into the feature, you are required to capture lot and serial numbers for lot and serial controlled items during work order destination receipts of purchase orders.

• On-hand inventory balances aren't maintained for items during work order destination receipts.

• The status of serials received for work order receipts is Issued out of stores.

• Lot and serial numbers can be entered for work order destination receipts or returns and corrections using Receiving, but they aren't available using Self-Service Receiving.

• Lot and serial numbers can't be captured for ASNs for work order destination purchase orders.

• Work order destination receipts that include lot and serial numbers aren't supported for a one-time address.

• Returns and corrections of outside processing purchase orders aren't allowed using the Receiving pages.

• Material status isn't applicable for use for lot and serial numbers received using work order destination receipts.

• The Receipt of Issued Serial Numbers Restricted Inventory Management profile option must be set to Yes to prevent reuse of the same serial numbers during receipt of work order destination receipts.

• If set to No, the Receipt of Issued Serial Numbers Restricted profile option enables reuse of the same serial numbers received against work order destination receipts, and could result in incorrect data.

• The Requests for Receiving Transactions and Receiving Receipt Requests REST services are enhanced to capture lot and serial numbers for work order destination purchase order receiving transactions.

• The Receiving Open Interface V2 SOAP service is enhanced to capture lot and serial numbers for work order destination purchase order receiving transactions.

• The Receipts FBDI is enhanced to capture lot and serial numbers for work order destination purchase order receiving transactions.

• Once you opt into this feature, for any item that is procured directly for the work order, the Correct, Return to Supplier, and Return to Receiving buttons in the Receiving Details region of the Review Purchased Item Details page aren't displayed, and you can't return or correct receipts for these items from this page. You must use the Correct Receipts and Return Receipts tasks in Inventory Management to correct or return receipts for work order destination purchases.

When receiving an expense-based purchase, there are times when you need to capture a good's lot or serial number information. For instance, when you procure a new forklift for your warehouse that you'll retain on your balance sheet as an enterprise asset for accounting purposes. Now, you have the ability to capture a good's lot or serial number information for expense destination receipts during put away for standard and inspection-based receipts, or during receipt for direct delivery receipts in warehouse receiving. The lot and serial information then passes to Oracle Fusion Cloud Installed Base if the item is enabled for asset tracking and product genealogy if the item is enabled for genealogy tracking.

Key enhancements for this feature include:

• Capture lot and serial numbers for expense destination receipts on the Receive Lines and Put Away Lines pages for purchase orders and transfer orders.

• Return or correct receipts for expense destination purchase orders with specific lot and serial numbers.

• View lot and serial numbers on the View Transaction History page in Inventory Management.

• Automate creation of assets for asset and genealogy tracked items in Asset Lifecycle Management.

Put Away Lines

This feature lets you capture your lot and serial information for expense destination receipts and automatically associates that data with the respective installed base and genealogy records for more accurate and efficient asset tracking.

Selected Receiving Bug Fixes in This Update

This update includes some bug fixes that can change the way Oracle Receiving works.This update includes some bug fixes that can change the way Oracle Receiving works. This isn't a full list of all the bug fixes in this update. This list includes the bug fixes that can cause a noticeable change in application behavior.

Prevent Return and Correction of Outside Processing Items from Receiving Pages and Services    

You should always initiate the return and correction of outside processing items from the work order. With this update, Oracle Receiving customers can no longer return or correct receipts for outside processing items using Receiving REST APIs, FBDI, or the Self-Service Procurement Manage Receipts page.    

Oracle reference: 33607349

Add Employee ID to Header and Transaction Worksheets of Receipts FDBI    

Prior to this update, receiving transactions performed with the Employee Name attribute using the Receipts FBDI gave an error if there were two employees with the same full name. To resolve this issue, we added an Employee ID column to the Receipts FBDI. You can now process transactions using this new attribute, which is unique for each employee.    

Oracle reference:33536346

Create Receipt Without Context Segments for Receipt Header and Receipt Transaction Descriptive Flexfields    

Prior to this update, if you selected a context for the Receipt Transaction and Receipt Header descriptive flexfields on the Oracle Receiving pages, you also had to define at least one context-sensitive segment to prevent an error. Now, you don't need to define a context-sensitive segment. You can use the Receipt Transaction and Receipt Header descriptive flexfields on all Receiving pages, and validation only occurs when segments are defined for the context.    

Oracle reference:33615100

Add New Attributes to the Receipt Advice Lines REST Resource    

The new LotsCount, SerialCount, and ExpirationDate attributes have been added to the Receipt Advice Lines REST resource for integration purposes.     

Oracle reference:33736050

Identify In-Transit Shipments Against Closed Purchase Orders    

Prior to this update, if we overreceived quantities against an advance shipment notice or purchase order, and then adjusted the overreceipt quantity using a correction, we were creating supply for the adjusted quantity as in-transit shipments incorrectly. Now, with this update, we no longer create supply for an adjustment quantity using a return or correction.    

Oracle reference:33640031

Validate Item, Line ID, and Lot Number Combination for Transfer Order and In-Transit Shipment Receipts    

Prior to this update, if two inbound shipment lines for the same item had different lots, it was possible to receive the lot for the first line using the lot for the second line. Now we ensure that when receiving a lot-controlled item, we compare the shipment header, line, item, and lot combination with what was shipped.

Allow Changes to Locator Settings on Inventory Organizations That Have a No Locator Control Setting

Enable changes to locator settings on inventory organizations that are set to have no locator controls. For existing inventory organizations that have no locator control settings, you can now update the settings to change the locator control to be determined at the subinventory level. Existing subinventories aren't altered and can't have their locator control changed. Only new subinventories created in the organization can use the new locator controls.

Warehouses that need to enable locators after initial set up may now define new subinventories that support locators.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

Existing subinventories that do not use locators can't be updated to use locators as part of this new feature.  You will need create new subinventories that are locator controlled.  This may involve additional follow up work if the existing subinventories are no longer going to be used as part of altering the locator behavior of the warehouse.

Use the New High-Volume Inventory Valuation Subject Area in OTBI

Use the high-volume inventory valuation subject area in OTBI for your analytics if your business has huge volume of inventory transactions. With this subject area, you can get insights into the inventory value of your business by the period to identify key metrics.

You can filter out the data by different parameters such as inventory organizations, item categories or specific items for granular analysis of your inventory value by the period.

To access the new subject area:

1. In the Navigator, select Tools, then Reports and Analytics.
2. Click Browse Catalog.
3. Click Create, and select Report or Analysis. 
4. In the search bar enter: Costing - Period Inventory Valuation Real Time.
5. Select the new subject area and click Continue to include it in your deliverable.

If you have a high volume of inventory transactions, you can take advantage of the high volume valuation subject area in OTBI. You can use this subject are in your reports to analyze your inventory value. Inventory value is key information for any enterprise because it helps you identify:

• Inventory turnover: How many times have you replaced inventory sold.
• Inventory aging: What inventory is slow-moving and how much of your working capital is invested.
• Inventory carrying costs: What percent of your total inventory value does toward maintaining your inventory in storage. 

Steps to Enable

Leverage new subject area(s) by adding to existing reports or using in new reports. For details about creating and editing reports, see the Creating and Administering Analytics and Reports book (available from the Oracle Help Center > your apps service area of interest > Books > Administration).

Tips And Considerations

To use the high volume inventory valuation subject area, make sure you are running Cost Reports Processor when you run the Create Cost Accounting Distributions process. To run the Cost Reports Processor, select the Cost Reports Processor check box in your run control.

Use Sales Order Line Close Date as the COGS Recognition Transaction Date for Ship-Only Orders

If you use a third-party billing system and rely on a proof of delivery, or a similar event, to recognize revenue and cost of goods sold, you can use the new profile option to use the order line closed date as the date for cost of goods sold recognition for Ship Only sales orders. Ship-only orders are marked as such, have no billing information, and normally have a wait task for the proof of delivery confirmation. Once the proof of delivery is received, the sales order line is closed. If this profile option is not created and set, the cost processor will continue to use the shipment date as the transaction date for the cost of goods sold recognition.

Using this profile option ensures that the cost of goods sold and the revenue recognition both use the order line close date as the accounting date.

Steps to Enable

Create a new profile to enable this feature:

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the Manage Profile Options task:
   • Offering: Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management
   • Functional Area: Cost Accounting
   • Task: Manage Profile Options
2. Click Add to create a new profile option with the following values:
   • Profile Option Code: CST_USE_ORDER_LINE_CLOSE_DATE
   • Profile Display Name: Use Order Line Close Date for Cost of Goods Sold Recognition
   • Application: Cost Management
   • Module: Cost Management
3. Click Save.
4. On the Manage Profile Options page, search for the newly created profile (CST_USE_ORDER_LINE_CLOSE_DATE) and select Y at the site level.

NOTE: You can use this profile option only for Ship Only flows.

Fiscal Document Capture

Use Period End Accruals for Domestic Purchases in Brazil

Purchase order schedules for an expense destination may be accrued at receipt or accrued at period end. For example, description-based purchase orders are routed as expense destination purchases and could be accrued at period end. Receipts against such purchase orders are accrued as expenses in receipt accounting in an accounting period where the invoice is usually not yet received and accounted before the period end. Previously, you could only create fiscal documents associated to expense destination purchase orders that accrued at receipt. You can now create fiscal documents for expense destination purchase orders that accrue at period end also.

This simplifies accounting requirements for enterprises that want to accrue their expense destination purchase orders at period end.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

• Only expense destination purchases are supported for accrue at period end.

• Taxes calculated on the fiscal document are accounted and reported from Accounts Payable.

• Since period end accruals are reversed at the start of the next period, the accrual is recorded using the estimated price available on the purchase order.

Key Resources

• For more information about this feature, see the Using Fiscal Document Capture Guide, available on the Oracle Help Center.

Role And Privileges

  • Capture Fiscal Document (CMF_ENTER_FISCAL_DOCUMENT)

• Job Role Name and Code:
  • Fiscal Document Specialist (ORA_CMF_FISCAL_DOCUMENT_SPECIALIST)

Perform Direct Delivery in Fiscal Document Capture for Expense Destination Purchase Orders

A purchase order for an item or a service can be routed to an expense destination. For example, description-based purchase orders are routed as expense destination purchases with a receipt routing of direct delivery. Previously, when you captured an inbound fiscal document for expense destination purchases, you had to manually put away (deliver) the receipt. With this feature, you can capture an inbound fiscal document for expense destination purchases and directly deliver to an expense destination without going through the delivery step. Fiscal Document Capture automatically creates the receipt and the delivery when the receipt routing is flagged as a direct delivery.

This eliminates a manual step when capturing inbound fiscal documents for expense destination purchased.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

• Purchase Orders must have single distribution and receipt routing as direct to use this feature. If there are multiple distributions on the purchase order line, you must manually put away to record delivery transactions.

• Items that are enabled for lot or serial capture at receipt require the manual delivery step.

Key Resources

• For more information about this feature, see the Using Fiscal Document Capture Guide, available on the Oracle Help Center.
