Inventory Management

SCM Common Components

Extend SCM Redwood Application Pages Using Visual Builder Studio

Tailor a seamless experience for the users in your enterprise using Oracle Visual Builder Studio. You can use business rules in Visual Builder Studio’s Express mode to:

• Make the fields and regions on a page required or optional.
• Make the fields and regions on a page read-only or editable.
• Show or hide fields and regions depending on specific criteria.
• Configure Redwood pages to best meet your specific business needs. For example, you can control which actions are visible on the Receipt Deliveries page, or you can set the default date range that's available on the PAR Counts Overview page.

The types of changes you can make to a page depend on the page you're modifying.

NOTE: In this update, business rules aren't yet supported on all SCM Redwood pages.

To determine whether you can extend a specific page using Visual Builder Studio, go to the page and open the Setting and Actions menu. Look for the Edit Page In Visual Builder Studio task:

Settings and Actions Menu

If you don’t see the Edit Page in Visual Builder Studio task, then you can’t use Visual Builder Studio to edit the page, either because you're not assigned the necessary privilege to edit pages in VB Studio, or because the page can't currently be edited in VB Studio. 

When you open a page in Visual Builder Studio, use only the Express mode to extend the page. Advanced mode isn’t supported. If Express mode isn't available when you open the page in VB Studio, then you can't extend the page in VB Studio. You can find the Express mode in the Visual Builder Studio header region:

Header Region in Visual Builder Studio

See Extending Oracle Cloud Applications in Visual Builder Studio Express Mode for details about how to extend your application pages in Express mode.

Steps to Enable

Leverage the Visual Builder Studio to expose your applications. To learn more about extending your application using Visual Builder, visit Oracle Help Center > your apps service area of interest > Books > Configuration and Extension.

Before you can start working with Visual Builder Studio, a systems administrator must complete some initial setup. For instructions, see Set Up VB Studio to Extend Oracle Cloud Applications.

Tips And Considerations

Keep the Pages list closed while you work in Visual Builder Studio Express mode. Closing the list gives you a cleaner view of the page you’re extending.

In Visual Builder Studio Express mode, you might see capabilities that support defaulting and validation of field values. The features aren't supported in SCM Redwood pages in update 24B. You'll be able to use defaulting and validation for selected SCM Redwood pages in future updates.

Inventory Management

Default Lot Uniqueness Inventory Organization Parameter to Unique Across Items

When using lot control in your organization, selecting the appropriate lot uniqueness setting can be crucial to meeting external or internal compliance. For example, you're regulated by a national agency that requires you to record and track unique lot numbers that can't ever be repeated in your organization. To ensure this regulation is followed, the lot uniqueness parameter can default to Unique across items so users don't forget to change the setting and cause additional work for users to correct later.

Manage Inventory Organizations Page

This feature helps ensure the proper settings are in place for your organization to prevent noncompliance or extraneous extra work for your users when lot uniqueness is required in your business.

Monitor PAR Counts Across Your Organization

For healthcare providers, Periodic Automatic Replenishment (PAR) is an essential process to support timely medical procedures and patient care. Because PAR locations are typically not quantity tracked areas that hold regularly used consumable items, PAR counting and the replenishment requests these counts create are critical to maintaining day-to-day operations. Such a critical activity requires an easy way to monitor the status of your PAR counts and replenishments so you can quickly and proactively take steps to prevent stockouts and operational disruptions. Using the new PAR Counts Overview page, you can view the recently completed counts for your PAR locations and then drill into the details to see additional information about the replenishment status of a specific count.

The PAR Counts Overview page provides the ability to search by a variety of search criteria including PAR Location, Item, and Counted By. For example, you can search by an individual counter to review the PAR counts that were performed for a specific date range. You can also view the details of a PAR count such as PAR location, item, count quantity, and reorder quantity. You can click the Details button on the PAR Counts Overview page to further examine the details of the PAR count.

PAR Counts Overview Page

Clicking the Details button opens the PAR Count Details panel drawer where you can view additional details associated with the PAR count. The panel drawer is segmented into several regions including Supply details, PAR location details, Item PAR location details, and Sourcing details. 

PAR Count Details

In the Supply details region, you have the ability to view the replenishment document details. PAR replenishment documents include purchase requisitions, transfer orders, and movement requests. In the event the replenishment document is a purchase requisition or transfer order, you can view the supply request details within Oracle Supply Chain Orchestration. Additionally, you can view movement request details within Oracle Inventory Management.

Print Item or Location Labels and Define Barcode Configurations for Scanning Labels

When receiving or transacting goods from different suppliers or manufacturers, it's possible that each one uses their own concatenated barcode layout. In these instances, you need the ability to define specific layout and delimiters to ensure the proper data is parsed when scanning the respective barcodes. Now, you have the ability to define barcode layouts and the appropriate delimiters to ensure that the correct data is parsed into the right fields when scanning with a mobile device. Similarly, when performing transactions using a mobile device within your warehouse or stockroom, you need barcode labels for the storage locations and items to make use of mobile scanning capability. Now, you can print barcode labels for items, subinventories, and locators to affix in the appropriate places within your warehouse or stockroom so users can easily scan the information when performing a transaction.

This feature provides you with these capabilities:

• You can scan barcodes encoded with multiple data elements, such as those specified in the GS1 standard. For instance, if a barcode conforms to the GS1 standard and contains structured product information like (01)01234567890128(10)ABC123, where 01 is the identifier for GTIN and 10 is the identifier for the lot, scanning the barcode on the item field will extract the item number associated with GTIN 01234567890128. Similarly, scanning the barcode on the lot field will extract the lot ABC123.

• You can define multiple barcode formats that you scan with a mobile device. You can also define how to parse the data when scanned for a specific field within the mobile page.

• You can populate multiple fields by scanning a barcode with multiple data elements within a single field. This functionality is supported for item, lot, and serial number fields when they are on the same page. When scanning a barcode that contains item, lot, and serial number in any of these fields, the system will extract the respective item, lot, and serial numbers and populate them in their corresponding fields.

• You can print item, location, and delivery labels using the template layout defined in Oracle BI Publisher.

• Alternatively, you can print item, location, and delivery labels using an external printing application by listening to the business event generated when a print label request is submitted.

Configure Barcode Formats

The Configure Barcode Formats setup task is used to define multiple barcode formats that you scan with a mobile device, specifying how to identify the barcode format, the type of data encoded in each format, and outlining how to parse and extract the data when the barcode is scanned for a specific field within the mobile page. For instance, you can utilize this configuration to define and scan a barcode with product information like +P+AS54888|L+ABC123, where +, P+, and L+ are identifiers for the barcode, item number, and lot number, respectively, and | is used as the delimiter between the data elements.

NOTE: The application has a predefined configuration to support GS1-128.

Configure Barcode Formats

Sample Barcode Format Configuration

Print Labels

You can print item and delivery labels while receiving goods using a mobile device. For items, select the item label to print only item information, the lot label to include both the item and lot information, and the serial label to include both the item and serial information. Specify the name of the printer responsible for label printing and utilize Oracle BI Publisher to configure the printer. Additionally, indicate the desired number of labels to print.

Receive Goods

You can print item labels while putting away goods using a mobile device.

Put Away Goods

You can print ad-hoc item and location labels using the Print Inventory Labels scheduled process. This table describes the parameters for this scheduled process.

Print Inventory Labels Scheduled Process

The labels are printed using Oracle BI Publisher's predefined template layouts by default. Here are the navigation paths to access the seeded reports:

• Delivery Label Report: /Shared Folders/SupplyChain Management/Warehouse Operations/Receipts
• Item Label Report: /Shared Folders/SupplyChain Management/Warehouse Operations/Inventory
• LocationLabelReport: /Shared Folders/SupplyChain Management/Warehouse Operations/Inventory.

Item Label

Location Label

Alternatively, you can print labels through an external printing application by listening to the business event generated when a print label request is submitted.

• Use the Manage Inventory Business Event Configurations task to enable the business event. 

• Use Oracle Integration Cloud Service to listen to the Print Label Request Event, call the Print Label Requests REST API to retrieve the print request details, and map and invoke the external printing application's web service to print labels.

This feature provides you the flexibility to scan multiple, different barcode layouts and ensure that the proper data is parsed to the appropriate fields in the application.

Steps to Enable

Perform Mass Maintenance on Subinventories and Locators

In industries with constantly evolving goods or a large number of storage locations, managing key parameters of your subinventories, locators, and the items associated with both can be key to optimal operational efficiency. For example, subinventories represent Periodic Automatic Replenishment (PAR) locations for healthcare providers. Many of these PAR locations contain the same goods, and exactly which goods need to be stocked in all of these PAR locations can change often. When there can be hundreds of PAR locations, manually associating or disassociating goods to each and every PAR location quickly becomes a time-consuming task. In this update, you can now create and update multiple subinventories, locators, and item associations with subinventories or locators simultaneously.

The Redwood pages delivered as part of the Manage Subinventories and Locators on Redesigned Pages 24A feature has been enhanced to enable users to create and update multiple subinventories, locators, and item subinventory and locator associations. The new enhancements are accessible using the Configure Subinventories task from both the Inventory Management work area and the Setup and Maintenance work area. In this release, subinventories and locators can be created by copying them from an existing subinventory and locator.

You can also disassociate items associated with subinventories and locators.

These pages are enhanced to enable you to create and update multiple subinventories, locators, and item associations with subinventories or locators by uploading .csv files in a drawer component:

1. Subinventories
2. Subinventory Details
3. Locator Details
4. Associate Item with Subinventory
5. Associate Item with Locator
6. Item Details
7. Associate Locator with Item

Subinventories Page

Create Subinventories from Existing

These new Redwood pages will help you in mass maintenance of subinventories and locators:

1. Item Associations
2. Item Associations: Item Details
3. Action Status

Item Associations Page

Item Details Page

Action Status Page

You may now also use the Configure Subinventories in Spreadsheet task, which will download a seeded spreadsheet template using the Oracle Visual Builder for Excel plugin, for creating and updating subinventories and locators. You may also create and update item associations and disassociate items with subinventories and locators.

Configure Subinventories in Spreadsheet Task

These new scheduled processes are also introduced:

1. Perform Mass Maintenance on Subinventories and Locators: This process creates and updates multiple subinventories, locators, item subinventory associations, or item locator associations simultaneously. The process isn't available to be run manually by users, and it will be submitted automatically once a user submits the mass maintenance tasks.

2. Purge Subinventories and Locators Mass Maintenance Staging Records: This process purges mass maintenance data for subinventories and locators from the staging tables. The process can be run occasionally by customers once after they have created or updated large volumes of subinventories, locators, or item subinventory and locator associations.

These two processes are secured by the Manage Subinventory and Locator privilege.

This feature provides you a more efficient way to create or update multiple subinventories, locators, or the items associated with either.

Shipping

Cancel Sales Order Backorders Automatically and Enforce Single Shipment

In many industries, customer contracts dictate specific fulfillment terms which can include whether or not the customer accepts backorders or multiple shipments. Prior to this update, if your customer didn't accept backorders or multiple shipments, you'd have to manually cancel quantities you couldn't fulfill by the promised delivery date. Now you have the option to automatically cancel any quantity that can't be fulfilled due to on-hand quantity shortages during pick confirm or ship confirm. Additionally, you can choose to automatically cancel any remaining open quantity after the first shipment even if you have the available on-hand quantity to fulfill the order, for instances where your customer only accepts a single shipment per order.

With this feature, these attributes are added in Oracle Order Management and Oracle Shipping:

• Cancel Backorders: Set this option to Yes if you want to automatically cancel any quantity that can't be fulfilled due to on-hand quantity shortages while releasing picks, confirming picks, confirming shipments, or creating outbound shipment requests to the external execution system.

• Enforce Single Shipment: Set this option to Yes if you want to automatically cancel any remaining open quantity on the order after the first shipment is confirmed and closed.

You can set these attributes on an order line using the Create Order page in the Order Management work area, Order Management extension, Sales Orders for Order Hub Requests REST API, or Import Sales Orders File-Based Data Import (FBDI through REST backend).

Create Order

Once the line is interfaced with Shipping, you can view the attribute values on the Manage Shipment Lines page in the Inventory Management work area.

Manage Shipment Lines Page

When a line is set to Cancel Backorders:

• The Create Pick Wave process automatically cancels any shipment lines that are backordered due to on-hand quantity shortages.

• The Generate Shipment Request process automatically cancels any shipment lines that can't be interfaced with the WMS or 3PL due to on-hand quantity shortages.

• If the Enforce Shipment Set shipping parameter is enabled for the organization and a line within the shipment set is canceled due to on-hand quantity shortages, all lines within the shipment set will be canceled.

• During pick confirmation, if less than the requested quantity is picked and the quantity exception reason is of the backorder type, the remaining quantities will be canceled. 

• Any quantities specified as backordered on the shipment line will be canceled when shipments are confirmed.

• When a shipment line is interfaced with WMS or 3PL and the Shipment Line Change Requests REST API is used to backorder a shipment line, the backordered quantities will be canceled.

• When a shipment line is interfaced with WMS or 3PL and the Shipment Transaction Requests REST API or Perform Shipping Transaction Import FBDI is used to perform shipping transactions, any quantities specified to be backordered will be canceled.

These scenarios outline instances where setting the line to cancel backorders won't result in the cancellation of the shipment line:

• When the shipment lines belonging to a PTO model or kit are partially backordered.
• When the shipment line is part of a shipment set and is backordered during pick confirmation.
• When the shipment line is backordered using the Backorder or Submit for Cycle Count action on the Manage Shipment Line and Shipment pages.

When the lines in an order are set to Enforce Single Shipment:

• In the event of partial shipment of an order, any unshipped quantities and lines within the order will be canceled.

• In scenarios involving WMS or 3PL, if the order is partially shipped using the Shipment Transaction Requests REST API or Perform Shipping Transaction Import FBDI, any shipment lines not interfaced with WMS/3PL will be canceled. However, if a shipment line is already interfaced with WMS/3PL, it won't be canceled.

• Shipment confirmation, sending manifest requests, and fiscal document generation aren't allowed when multiple shipments are assigned to an order.

• When utilizing Oracle Transportation Management or other transportation management systems for transportation shipment planning, assigning multiple transportation shipments to the order isn't allowed.

Once the shipment line is canceled in Shipping, the Process Responses from Order Fulfillment scheduled process is initiated to update the cancellation details on the fulfillment line.

• Ordered and canceled quantities are updated on the order. A seeded cancellation reason Cancel Backorders is used for cancellations initiated from Shipping.

• The charge components for the order line are recomputed with the new order quantity.

• The order header totals are updated by running or scheduling the Update Sales Order Totals scheduled process.

• If credit authorizations are applicable for the order lines, the amounts are adjusted based on the new ordered quantity. The Adjust Amounts for Credit Authorizations scheduled process should be run or scheduled to adjust the customer credit amounts.

• If the Cancel Supply When Canceling Backorders Order Management parameter is set to Yes, the supply orders are updated in the case of partial cancellation. Cancel or close the supply order and also the backing supply documents like purchase order and work order for the pending quantities.

• If the Cancel Backorders business event is enabled in the Manage Business Event Trigger Points task, then an event will be raised when the cancellation is initiated from Shipping.

This feature makes it easier for you to comply with your customer's fulfillment contracts by automatically canceling unfulfilled quantities and reducing your manual effort.

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 24D

Tips And Considerations

• Watch the Cancel Sales Order Backorders Automatically and Enforce Single Shipment Demo.

• The Cancel Backorders and Enforce Single Shipment options can only be set at the line level and can't be defaulted from the header.

• Once the order is submitted, you can't update the Cancel Backorders and Enforce Single Shipment settings. However, you can add a new line and set the attributes as needed.

• If a custom orchestration process is utilized, you must include Canceled along with Shipped in the exit criteria for the Shipment Wait task. Otherwise, the Shipment Wait task instance may remain active in the case of full cancellation.

• Once the shipment line is canceled in Shipping, the Process Responses from Order Fulfillment scheduled process is initiated to update the cancellation details on the fulfillment line. If the process isn't automatically submitted, check if the user performing the Create Pick Wave, Generate Shipment Request, Pick Confirm, and Ship Confirm actions is assigned to a configured job role containing one of the following privileges:
  • Manage Shipment Interface (WSH_MANAGE_DELIVERY_INTERFACE_PRIV)
  • Process Fulfillment Response (DOO_PROCESS_FULFILLMENT_RESPONSE_PRIV)

• If the Process Responses from Order Fulfillment scheduled process couldn't update the cancellation detail on the order, resubmit the scheduled process. We recommend that you set up the process to run on a schedule at regular intervals to process the cancellation details that couldn't be processed from the Oracle Order Management interface tables when it was initially submitted.

Send Shipped Details to Oracle Fusion Cloud Order Management More Efficiently

Updating sales orders with the details of what shipped is an integral part of your overall fulfillment process. This is especially true for partially filled orders or high-volume environments to ensure proper supply management. Now, Oracle Shipping uses the high-volume integration approach to send shipped details to Oracle Fusion Cloud Order Management for all orders, even if Oracle Order Management's high-volume order processing feature released in update 23C isn't enabled.

Prior to this feature, when the shipment was closed, the Manage Shipment Interface scheduled process submitted the Send Shipment Advice scheduled process to interface the shipment details to Oracle Order Management. With this feature, the Manage Shipment Interface scheduled process adds the shipment details to an Oracle Order Management interface table and submits the Process Responses from Order Fulfillment scheduled process. The Process Responses from Order Fulfillment scheduled process updates shipment details on the fulfillment line and moves the shipped line to the next fulfillment task.

This feature improves performance between Oracle Shipping and Oracle Order Management and makes the overall order to cash process more efficient. 

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

We recommend that you set up the Process Responses from Order Fulfillment scheduled process to run on a schedule at regular intervals to process the shipment details that couldn't be processed from the Oracle Order Management interface tables when it was initially submitted.

• Set the Task Type to Shipment.

Redwood Experience

These features were built in Redwood, Oracle’s next-generation user experience. Redwood brings state-of-the-art, consumer-grade user experiences across devices to the sophisticated enterprise scenarios that Oracle enables.

Monitor and Manage Deliveries Across Your Organization

Hospitals, office campuses, or any large building with multiple employees typically face a similar challenge when it comes to getting goods delivered to the specific people who order them. Typically, these facilities use a single location to receive all goods regardless of their destination. Once received, the goods are processed and organized for final delivery to the person who requested them. Now you can use delivery management to help organize and track these deliveries across your organization. 

You can have deliveries automatically created after you receive an expense destination order or an inventory destination order that specifies a destination subinventory set up as a Periodic Automatic Replenishment (PAR) location. Alternatively, you can manually create deliveries from the delivery workbench when you need to deliver goods that don't have a source document. For example, when employees have personal packages delivered to the office or you need to deliver gifts to patients in a hospital. 

After deliveries are created, you assign them to a delivery cart using the delivery workbench, and then they are available for your employees to take to their final destination using a mobile device. Additionally, from the delivery workbench, you can search for and view open, pending, and completed deliveries. For open and pending deliveries, you can assign or update the delivery cart and add pertinent attachments or notes. For completed deliveries, you can review who completed the delivery, when it was completed, who received the delivery, and view any attachments or notes that were added.

Receipt Deliveries Page

Selecting a delivery card allows you to add it to a delivery cart or print a delivery label. You can sort the delivery cards by deliver-to person or deliver-to location. If you need to create a delivery because you have goods to deliver that weren't received against a purchase order or other document type, under the Actions menu you can select Create Delivery to manually create a delivery.

Receipt Deliveries Update

Clicking on a delivery card opens the drawer where you can view more details about the delivery. If the delivery is in open or pending status, you can make updates to certain fields or add notes and attachments.

The delivery management workbench provides you the ability to efficiently manage and review deliveries to requesting employees and PAR locations within your organization

Steps to Enable

You must enable delivery management by setting attributes on the Receiving Parameters page.

Receiving Parameters

Select one or both of the following attributes on the Manage Receiving Parameters page to enable delivery management:

• Autocreate deliveries for expense destination receipts
• Autocreate deliveries for PAR location receipts

Once you select these parameters, a delivery will be automatically created upon receipt.

View On-Hand Quantity and Stocking Locations for Your Goods

When performing various tasks in your warehouse, there are times when you need the ability to quickly find an item or where it could be stocked. For example, in the middle of picking goods to fulfill an order, you find that there isn't sufficient quantity in the location to fulfill the order because some goods are damaged. Because this is a critical order, you want to see if the goods are stored in another location. Now you can view the on-hand quantity of an item in all locations and the on-hand quantity of all items in a location using a mobile device. Additionally, when your items are associated with a specific location, a search by item provides the list of locations where the item is associated, and a search by location provides a list of all the items associated with that location, even when you have zero on-hand quantity.

This feature provides you the flexibility to view the on-hand quantity and stocking locations for your goods in real time when you're performing tasks on the move around your warehouse.

Complete Cycle Counts Using a Mobile Device

Cycle counts serve as a key way to ensure that your physical on-hand quantity matches the on-hand quantity reflected in Oracle Fusion Cloud Inventory Management. Now you can record cycle counts in real time while counting the items physically for a quantity-tracked subinventory using a mobile device. You search the cycle count definition and choose the specific subinventory for which you want to record cycle count entries to bring up cards for all cycle count sequences corresponding to a cycle count. Then you select a card based on the location for which you want to enter the count quantity.

In order to record the count quantity for an item, you need to confirm the subinventory and locator. For a lot-controlled item, you also need to confirm the lot number to record the count quantity corresponding to a lot. Likewise, for a serial-controlled item, you need to confirm the serial number. You can choose to skip an item or lot during cycle counting. The skipped item or lot appears in the list of uncounted items. You can skip counting for specific serial numbers when a single count sequence is generated for each serial number. This will make the serial number count sequence appear in the list of uncounted items. The cycle count for a serial number is recorded with zero quantity when you choose to skip a serial number during cycle count, which is set up to generate a single count sequence for all the serials.

The Confirm Cycle Count process submits the cycle count entries for a cycle count definition and gives a toast confirmation message.

Deliver Goods Using a Mobile Device

When your organization has a single receiving location for perpetually tracked goods, expensed goods ordered by employees, and nonwork-related packages and gift orders, you need the ability to make sure those expensed goods and personal orders are delivered to whoever requested them. Now, you can make these types of deliveries within your organization using a mobile device to record who physically received the goods, take and attach a picture of the delivery, capture the recipient's signature, and add any pertinent delivery notes. 

Deliveries can be automatically created after receipt of an expense destination order or an inventory destination order that specifies a destination subinventory set up as a Periodic Automatic Replenishment (PAR) location. Alternatively, they can be manually created from the delivery workbench for goods that don't have a source document. Once deliveries are created, they need to be assigned to a delivery cart from the Receipt Deliveries page. After being assigned, they are eligible for you to deliver using a mobile device.

Deliver Goods Page

You can deliver by cart or location. Once you have selected the cart or location, you can choose the deliveries to be delivered.  

Enter Delivery Details and Confirm

Enter delivery details such as the recipient's name, capture a signature, or attach a picture or notes. Once details are entered, you confirm the delivery to complete the process and return to the Deliveries page.  Here you can select any remaining deliveries that are outstanding for this location.

This feature provides you a way to efficiently make physical deliveries to your employees and PAR locations in real time using a mobile device.

Product Recall Management

Redwood Experience

These features were built in Redwood, Oracle’s next-generation user experience. Redwood brings state-of-the-art, consumer-grade user experiences across devices to the sophisticated enterprise scenarios that Oracle enables.

Perform Recall Counts Using the Recall Count Responsive Application

Record recall counts using a mobile device by scanning the barcode data using either a camera-based or device-based scanner.

Initiate the new mobile flow by clicking the Inventory Management (New) option under the Supply Chain Execution tab. Alternatively, you can directly navigate to different mobile pages using quick actions. For example, click the Recall Count quick action to directly navigate to the Recall Count mobile page.

Inventory Management (New)

You can record recall counts using the mobile device in real-time, as well as in an offline mode. You can scan the perpetual and PAR locations, items, lot numbers, and serial numbers using an external barcode device. Use the camera on your mobile device to scan or enter these attributes manually from a list of values. You can record the counts by selecting the tasks specific to your locations. You can enter the counted quantity for the recalled items or against the recalled lots. The count quantity can be entered in stocking unit of measure if it is defined for the item subinventory combination or for the item org combination. If the stocking unit of measure is not defined, you can enter the count quantity in primary unit of measure.

Record Recall Count

You can also record the counts by scanning the recalled serial numbers.

Scan Serial Numbers

You'll receive a confirmation message when you do a Confirm and Close action after recording the counts for the selected count tasks. This action automatically initiates a transaction to move the counted quantity into a default quarantine location configured for the inventory organization in the recall parameters.

You also have an option to load the defective parts that are counted and pulled from the respective locations into a pick subinventory and drop them in the default quarantine location. You can easily do this pick and drop by scanning the pick subinventory and recall subinventory which aligns with the physical material movement. The drop action initiates a transaction to move the counted quantity into the quarantine location.

Using Pick Subinventory During Recall Count

You can configure the recall parameters for an inventory organization to decide whether or not the intermediate step of pick and drop is required while recording the recall counts.

The offline mode capability lets you seamlessly perform recall counts for locations that don't have internet connectivity. You must be connected to Oracle Cloud at the time of choosing the organization before you begin to record your recall counts in an offline mode. This caches the data for all the locations in the chosen organization allowing you to work offline. You can record your recall counts the same way as you do in the online mode while you work offline. The recorded recall counts are synced with Oracle Cloud as soon as your mobile device is connected to the internet.

Offline Mode

This feature increases your organization's efficiency by providing the flexibility to perform your recall counts in real-time.

Steps to Enable

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

Use the Enhanced Period Costing Account Balances Report by Supporting References for Account Reconciliation

You can view cost accounting balances in summary and detail mode to reconcile the Cost Accounting subledger with the General Ledger. The Period Costing Account Balances by Supporting References Report can be generated from the Scheduled Processes work area.

Scheduled Processes: Period Costing Account Balances by Supporting References Report

The following are some of the new reconciliation reporting capabilities introduced as part of this update:

• The report serves as a Trial Balance for the Cost Accounting subledger.

• You can view and reconcile account balances in the context of the Cost Accounting subledger. This can be especially useful during reconciliation if you use same accounts for multiple journal sources.

• You can view and reconcile summary and detail balances for a period at the ledger level or for each cost organization and cost book depending upon your enterprise structure and the level at which you reconcile accounts.

You can view and reconcile account balances at the following levels: 

• Accounting Line Type:  View summary opening balance, period activity (debits and credits), and closing balance for each cost accounting type.

Summary of Costing Account Balances by Accounting Line Type

• Accounting Line Type and Account: View summary opening balance, period activity (debits and credits), and closing balance for each cost accounting line type and account.  Use this view to review balances at account level for an accounting line type. Pay attention to same account being used for multiple accounting line types and confirm this as per expectation. Drill down to Period Activity Details to view transaction information and ensure transactions are correctly classified.

Summary of Costing Account Balances by Accounting Line Type and Account

• The Period Activity details view provides a clear link between Inventory and Costing transaction attributes, cost distribution and General Ledger accounting information distributions to help in reconciliation.

• View Period Activity Details to understand change to account balance during the period to substantiate account balances. Review transaction information to ensure transactions are classified correctly from an accounting perspective and flag any reconciliation issues.

Tips And Considerations

• Important: This report works on the basis of supporting references defined in Subledger Accounting for each journal line rule. By default, all predefined journal line rules for costing have the supporting references listed here:
  • Cost Organization
  • Cost Book
  • Inventory Organization
  • Item
  • Journal Line Rule

• Important: If you define custom journal line rules for Cost Accounting, you must ensure that the above supporting references are updated against each journal line rule associated with the active journal entry rule set (JERS). Journal lines rules seeded in the application already have supporting references updated.

• Important: If the above supporting references aren't enabled against the journal lines, this report won't display balances for the corresponding accounting line types and accounts. The report, however, will provide information on such journal lines missing supporting references in the parameters tab of the report. You must:
  • Update supporting references for journal line rules identified as exceptions in the parameters tab of the report.

View Journal Line Rules Missing Supporting References in the Parameters Tab of the Report

• Updating supporting references won't fix account balances retrospectively.
  • Use the ready-to-use Subledger Accounting functionality to update correct balances against each of the supporting references for the latest period:  SUPPORTING REFERENCE BALANCE INITIALIZATION USING A SIMPLIFIED TEMPLATE

• All account balances are displayed only in the context of Cost Accounting subledger. When reconciling accounts, certain account balances may require reviewing balances across multiple subledgers or at the General Ledger level.
  • To get a complete picture of the balances and period activity, you must review the additional balances in Receipt Accounting subledger for the accounting line types listed here; these are appended with a double asterisk (**) in the report:
    • Clearing
    • Trade Clearing
    • Receiving Inspection
    • Interorganization Receivables
    • Consigned Clearing
    • Consigned Inspection
    • Consigned Receivables
    • Trade In-Transit Valuation
  • To get a complete picture of the balances and period activity, you must review the additional balances in other subledgers or at General Ledger level for the accounting line types listed here; these are appended with an asterisk (*) in the report:
    • Material Overhead Absorption: Contains only credits when overheads are absorbed into inventory or expense in Cost Accounting. The debits to book the expenses may be recorded in a different subledger or directly in the General Ledger.
    • Resource Absorption:  Contains only credits when overheads are absorbed into WIP inventory or expense in Cost Accounting. The debits to book the expenses may be recorded in a different subledger or directly in the General Ledger.
    • Offset
• When Summarization level is Period Activity, use the commit interval in days to optimize performance. Default value is 5 and a change from default should be done only on advise from Oracle to optimize performance of the report background process.

Create Cost Distributions in a Period that is in the Future Enterable Status in GL

Typically, you might close the General Ledger (GL) period a couple of days later than the Cost Accounting subledger period close. As a result, the GL will be open for the current period but in Cost Accounting you might have opened the next period. Prior to this update, you could create cost accounting distributions only in the GL period with the Open status.

You can now process transactions and create cost accounting distributions when the GL period is in the Future Enterable status. This helps you to continue with your GL closure process for the current period while in Cost Accounting you process and cost supply chain transactions for the next period.

While the GL period is in the Future Enterable status, you can run the Create Cost Accounting Distributions process in Cost Accounting, but posting the transactions to GL will be performed only after the GL period is in the Open status.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

• The cost accounting period must be closed before closing the corresponding GL period.

• It is recommended to run the Create Accounting process for the Cost Accounting subledger only after the corresponding GL period is set to the Open status.

• As a best practice, keep only one Cost Accounting period open at a time. Don't have multiple costing periods open at the same time.

Key Resources

Use the Enhanced Inventory Valuation Page to Include Operational View of Inventory Value at the Inventory Organization and Subinventory Level

You can now review and analyze inventory value at the inventory organization and subinventory level, where the on-hand quantity and unit cost at that level is used to determine the inventory value. The Inventory infolets have been enhanced to also display the Inventory Value instead of the Costed Value.

NOTE: This feature was also made available in the February monthly update of 24A.

New Option to View Inventory Value at Inventory Organization, Subinventory Level

Here are some of the advantages this feature provides:

• Prior to this update, inventory value was only displayed at the valuation unit level. Costed and accounted value was displayed when viewing valuation information by inventory organization and sub inventory.  From this update, the Review Inventory Valuation page will by default display inventory value when viewing data by inventory organization and subinventory at summary level and for each individual item when you drill down to the item level details.

Item Level Inventory Value by Inventory Organization and Subinventory

• The Period Inventory Valuation Report has also been enhanced and a new inventory valuation template has been introduced to view inventory value by item category, inventory organization, and subinventory.

New Template for Viewing Inventory Value by Item Category, Inventory Organization, Subinventory

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

• The new views will help nonaccounting users to get an operational view of inventory value which may be different from the accounting view in the following instances:

  • Valuation unit is at the cost organization level and user views item level inventory valuation at the inventory organization level.
  • Valuation unit is at the inventory organization level and user views item level inventory value by subinventory.

• Use the Costed and Accounted Value view when performing account reconciliation at the inventory organization or subinventory level.

Analyze Rolled-Up Costs for Supply Chain Cost Rollup Using New Subject Area

If you use supply chain cost rollup to calculate the costs of your manufactured items, you can now analyze these costs using the Costing - Supply Chain Cost Rollup Real Time subject area in OTBI. Using this subject area, you can validate your costs by reviewing the following information for your items:

• Sourcing Rules (Buy From, Make At, Transfer From)
• Work Definitions
• Work Definition Operations
• Work Definition Materials
• Work Definition Resources
• Work Definition Outputs (if you use process manufacturing)
• Component Costs
• Resource Rates
• Overhead Rates

Supply Chain Cost Rollup Real Time - This subject area helps you to create personalized analysis reports to verify the rolled-up costs of manufactured items. Using this subject area, you can design the layout of the report and include information that's relevant to your business. You can also apply specific functions over the exposed attributes to report on metrics crucial for your business.

Supply Chain Rollup Costed BOM Report - This seeded report helps you readily analyze the rolled-up costs for your manufactured items. If you want to see additional information, you can save this report locally and make necessary changes to include information for your business users.

Supply Chain Rollup Costed BOM Report

Here are some of the benefits provided by this new subject area:

• Expedite your cost planning process by efficiently analyzing the rolled-up costs of manufactured items across organizations.
• Reduce errors by exporting the rolled-up costs information for offline analysis.
• Make better decisions for your business by tracking specific metrics. 

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

This feature is useful for customers who use supply chain cost rollup to calculate the costs of their manufactured items. If you don't use supply chain cost rollup, continue to use the Cost Rollup Details Real Time subject area for analytics and reporting of the costs of your manufactured items.

Key Resources

Enable Parallel Processing for Cost Distribution Processor

The Create Cost Accounting Distributions process calculates the costs and generates distributions for all supply chain transactions such as inventory material transactions resulting from purchase order receipts or work order completions, resource transactions from work orders, and so on. You can now enable parallel processing in the Create Cost Accounting Distributions process so that the eligible transactions are spread across multiple subprocesses to achieve a much higher throughput during the distribution processing stage.

When enabled, during the distribution processing stage of the Create Cost Accounting Distributions process, multiple subprocesses are automatically spawned to process the distributions in parallel. The main process groups the cost layers such that each of the subprocess can independently process those layers to generate distributions without any contention with the other subprocesses that may be running in parallel. The feature is specifically tailored for high to very-high volume cost processing and the throughput improvements will be significant in those scenarios. For low to medium volume cost processing, there will be improvements in throughput, but it might not be noticeably higher as the current processing times will usually be optimal to begin with.

After you opt in to the feature, you will see a new column Maximum Number of Workers indicating the maximum number of subprocesses that would be used by the Create Cost Accounting Distributions process. You can enter a value between 2 and 20 to indicate that you want to use parallel processing.

Create Cost Accounting Distributions

To ensure that the Create Cost Accounting Distributions process doesn't consume a lot of resources that will otherwise be required for other processing elsewhere in the system, some restrictions are placed on the number of workers that will be launched by the system. Regardless of the value for maximum workers set in the run control parameter, during runtime, the system dynamically reduces the number of concurrent workers that are run based on the data volume being processed to ensure that the processing times are optimized. Currently, the threshold is set to 100,000 distribution lines and a maximum of 20 workers.

The table shows how the system decides on the number of workers dynamically during processing.

* - Actual subprocesses may vary slightly from the number indicated based on actual volume and mix of transactions processed.

The main advantage from such parallel processing is to allow for dividing the load irrespective of the cost organization structure or variations in data volume in the cost organization or set of cost organizations. The parallel processing will also make better use of the available hardware. Customers that have a very high volume of transactions and are running a consolidated process will benefit through significant improvement in processing times with this feature. Ultimately, the reduced processing time will help speed up period close processing.

Steps to Enable

Discrete manufacturing processes sometimes involve production of more than one output at the end of an operation. For example, cutting multiple sheets of metal from a larger sheet, or capturing a by-product while making the main product which can be sold as a separate item. The completion of primary product and reporting of rejected quantity or disposal of scrap was allowed. However, for scenarios involving multiple outputs, these additional outputs need to be reported into inventory as supply, as reusable material  for subsequent work orders or recoverable scrap sold as a separate item. 

With this new update, you can now report additional co-products and by-products as ad hoc outputs during the execution of an operation, for standard, discrete manufacturing work orders. An ad hoc output can be reported as an output completion transaction into a specified completion subinventory  from the Review Dispatch List page. You can use the output reverse transaction to correct the output completion transaction. This capability is also available through File-Based Data Import (FBDI), ADFdi data import correction, and REST web service. The ad hoc output completions will use a fixed cost that is set up in the Manage Standard Costs page. The primary product is reported along with the operation completion transaction at the last operation.

Reporting Ad Hoc Output at a Discrete Work Order Operation

File-Based Data Import (FBDI) Changes:

The FBDI Discrete Manufacturing Work Order Material Transactions Import, WorkOrderMaterialTransactionTemplate.xlsm, has been enhanced to enable reporting of ad hoc outputs in count point in-house operations for standard work orders. The Transaction Type Code column in Material Transaction Header worksheet will show two new values PRODUCT_COMPLETION and PRODUCT_RETURN for reporting output completions and output returns. Use the latest FBDI template after the 24B update.

You can reverse the reported outputs to correct any errors. The transactions reported through FBDI that failed validations can be corrected and resubmitted through ADFdi.

REST API Changes:

You can now report outputs for standard discrete manufacturing work order operations using the Work Order Material Transactions REST API.

Discrete manufacturers will achieve accurate recovery and valuation of scrap or any unplanned outputs, leading to maximum value realization from items produced.

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 24D

Tips And Considerations

• Ad hoc negative component quantities can't be reported as outputs. For more information about negative material transactions, refer to the 23C feature Remove a Component During Discrete Manufacturing Work Execution.

• Ad hoc outputs are generally unplanned outputs and aren't considered in supply planning.

• Outputs can be optionally enabled as lot or serial-controlled to support product genealogy.

Key Resources

• Watch the Report Ad hoc Outputs During Work Order Execution in Discrete Manufacturing Demo.

• Refer to the Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM: Using Manufacturing guide, available on the Oracle Help Center.

• Refer to the Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM: Implementing Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management guide, available on the Oracle Help Center.

Access Requirements

This privilege was available prior to this update.

Selected Cost Management Bug Fixes in This Update

This update includes some bug fixes that can change the way Oracle Cost 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.

Roll Forward Inventory Valuation Balances to Current Period When There Are no Cost Transactions

Before update 24B, the cost reports processor rolled forward inventory valuation balances to the current period as long as there was at least one cost transaction in the current period for the cost organization and cost book.

Starting with update 24B, the cost reports processor rolls forward the inventory valuation balances to the current period even when there are no transactions. Ensure that you run the Create Cost Accounting Distributions process with:

• The cost reports processor selected
• The cost cut-off date set in the current period
• A system date in the same period

Redwood Experience

These features were built in Redwood, Oracle’s next-generation user experience. Redwood brings state-of-the-art, consumer-grade user experiences across devices to the sophisticated enterprise scenarios that Oracle enables.

Create and Update Resource Rates Using Redwood Pages

As a manufacturing or maintenance enterprise user, you need to define resources in your manufacturing or maintenance organizations. When you set up work definitions for your manufactured items, these resources are used in different operations. Finally, as you complete the work orders in the shop floor, resource transactions are generated based on their usage. You need to establish resource rates to cost these transactions and accurately calculate your production costs.

You can now create, modify, delete and search for resource rates using the Redwood pages. You can verify the resource rate details for an existing resource rate and also download the existing resource rates information into a spreadsheet for offline analysis and collaboration.

You can also perform advanced edit actions for selected records by using the mass edit capability.

The Manage in Spreadsheet functionality helps you download the Oracle Application Development Framework Desktop Integration (ADFDI) spreadsheet enabling you to manage a high volume of resource rates using the native Excel interface. You can search for existing resource rates, modify them, or create new resource rates by using this interface.

You can manage the resource rates only for the cost organizations you've access to.

Search resource rates

When you navigate to the Resource Rates page, by default, you can view existing resource rates that haven't been published. The resource rates are sorted by their effective start date with the most recent rates displayed at the top. You can also sort the rates by these attributes:

• Total Rate
• Effective Start Date
• Effective End Date
• Effective Start Period (if you use Periodic Average Cost method)
• Effective End Period (if you use Periodic Average Cost method)

Screenshot to Display Resource Rates Page

You can change the search criteria by selecting suitable filters available on the page, or by keywords.

View Resource Rate Details

You can view the breakdown of resource rates by clicking the Total Rate attribute.

Screenshot with View Resource Rate Details

Edit Resource Rate

You can select an unpublished resource rate (status = In Process) and modify the rate details. You can add a new resource rate detail, modify an existing resource rate detail, or even delete an existing resource rate detail. You can only use cost elements of type Resource or Overhead to modify resource rates. The Total Rate attribute automatically reflects the changes.

Screenshot to Edit Resource Rate Details

Screenshot to Add New Resource Rate Detail

Perform Mass Edit

You can select multiple unpublished resource rates and perform mass edit on the selected resource rates simultaneously. You can:

• Increase cost
• Decrease cost
• Replace cost
• Add cost element
• Delete cost element
• Substitute cost element
• Substitute expense pool

You can only use cost elements of type Resource or Overhead.

Screenshot with Mass Edit Capability

Create Resource Rate

You can create a new resource rate for cost scenarios that haven't yet been published.

Screenshot to Create Resource Rate

You can only use cost elements of type Resource or Overhead to create resource rates.

When creating a resource rate, the cost element and expense pool should belong to Common Set or the set associated with the cost organization selected to enter resource rates.

Here are some of the benefits of this feature:

• Fast track your resource rate management activity by focusing on yet to be published resource rates for organizations you manage.
• Expedite your decision making process by searching for resource rates using search keywords or relevant filters.
• Reduce data entry errors by quickly verifying the resource rate details without losing context.

Steps to Enable

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, search for and select the Manage Administrator Profile Values task.

2. On the Manage Administrator Profile Values page, search for and select the ORA_CST_RESOURCE_RATES_REDWOOD_ENABLED profile option code.

3. In the Profile Values section, set the Site level to Yes. The default value is No.

• Yes = enables the feature
• No = disables the feature

4. Click Save and Close. Changes in the profile value will affect users the next time they sign in.

Screenshot Displaying the Setup Profile

After you've set the profile value correctly, the task pane under Cost Accounting would show the task menu link as Resource Rates. Using this link, you can access the Redwood page.

Tips And Considerations

• Note that when you're navigating from the Cost Scenarios page, you'll be taken to the existing Manage Resource Rates page, irrespective of the profile value.

• In update 24B, the Resource Rates page doesn't allow users using Periodic Average Cost method to modify published resource rates (status = Published), even though the cost accounting period isn't  in the Closed or Permanently closed status. This issue will be fixed in a subsequent update. It is recommended that users using Periodic Average Cost method continue to use  the existing Manage Resource Rates page for their business processes.

• In update 24B, the Resource Rates page doesn't allow users using Periodic Average Cost method to create new resource rates under a published cost scenario, even though the cost accounting period isn't  in the Closed or Permanently closed status. This issue will be fixed in a subsequent update.

Supply Chain Financial Orchestration

Derive Transfer Price Using Country of Origin and Project Number

For intercompany shipments and internal transfer flows, the financial orchestration process is modified to derive the transfer price considering the additional transaction attributes Country of Origin and Project number for Item cost basis.  If the item cost profile is configured based on these parameters and when the transfer pricing rule is set to item cost basis, the financial orchestration process will derive the transfer price considering these transactional attributes.

This screenshot shows the attributes when they are captured during the execution transaction. The attribute will be taken into consideration to derive the transfer price if the item cost is configured appropriately.

You can now use the additional qualifier attributes to help configure rules based on these new parameters to orchestrate your financial flows. You can model tax-efficient intercompany accounting using the new qualifier attributes for your financial flows.

IMPORTANT Actions and Considerations

Replaced and Removed Features

From time to time, Oracle replaces existing Cloud service features with new features, or removes existing features. Replaced features may be put on a path to removal. As a best practice, you should use the newer version of a replaced feature as soon as the newer version is available.

This section identifies the features in this Cloud service that have been replaced or will be removed.

Set Up the Responsive Self-Service Receiving Application

The Oracle Responsive Self-Service Receiving application lets you receive your goods using a mobile device, tablet, laptop, or desktop web browser.

If you’re interested in these features, the capabilities will appear under the My Receipts (New) work area icon on the home page for several predefined job roles, such as Procurement Requester, Procurement Preparer, Advanced Procurement Requester, and Employee.

You can add these responsive self-service capabilities and the My Receipts (New) work area icon by following these steps:

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, search for and select the Manage Receiving Profile Options task.

2. On the Manage Receiving Profile Options page, search for and select the ORA_RCV_SELF_SERVICE_RECEIVING_REDWOOD_ENABLED profile option code.

3. In the Profile Values section, set the Site level to Yes. The default value is No.

• Yes = enables the feature
• No = disables the feature

Manage Receiving Profile Options Page

4. Click Save and Close. Changes in the profile value will affect users the next time they sign in.

If you are a Procurement or Inventory Management customer and you do not see the My Receipts (New) icon even after you enable the profile option, that means you previously made changes to the Navigator menu in your implementation. In this case, you can add the responsive self-service receiving capabilities and the My Receipts (New) work area icon by following these steps:

1. Activate a Sandbox with the Structure tool.
2. Enter the Sandbox and click the Structure link under Tools.
3. Expand the Procurement node and click My Receipts (New).
4. From the Show on Navigator list, select Yes.
5. Click Save and Close.
6. Publish the Sandbox.

After you enable the profile option and take the additional steps to expose the My Receipts (New) work area icon (if necessary), you'll need to perform the steps outlined in Create Index Definition and Perform Initial Ingest to OSCS.

NOTE: After you enable the My Receipts (New) icon, the My Receipts icon won't display anymore.
