Feature Summary

Order Management

Specify How Long to Wait Before Giving Control to Users After Submitting Sales Orders

Specify the number of seconds to wait before giving control back to the user for sales orders that have a lot of order lines.

Improve your user's efficiency and experience. Give the user control to navigate away from the sales order while Order Management processes the submit instead of having to wait.

Steps to Enable

1. Go to the Setup and Maintenance work area, then go to the task.

• Offering: Order Management
• Functional Area: Orders
• Task: Manage Order Management Parameter

2. On the Manage Order Management Parameters page, set the value for the Response Time in Seconds parameter.

Tips And Considerations

• Response Time in Seconds doesn't come predefined with a value.

• You can specify a value of 5 seconds to 240 seconds.

• If you set a value, then Order Management returns control according to the time it takes to finish processing the submit, not according to the number of order lines.

• If you don't set a value, then Order Management gives control back to the user only after it finishes submitting all the order lines in the order.

• If Order Management finishes submitting the order to fulfillment before the time that you specify elapses, then Order Management displays the same success message or error message that it displays when you don't use Response Time in Seconds.

• If Order Management doesn't finish submitting the order to fulfillment before the time that you specify elapses, then the Order Management work area displays a dialog that you can use to navigate away from the sales order while Order Management continues to process the submit. If you're still on the order page, then you can refresh the page to get an updated order status. If you navigate away from the order page, then you can search for the sales order and get a status update. If you encounter an error or warning, you can edit the order or discard the draft just like you can if you don't set a value in the parameter.

• This feature works only when you click Submit in the Order Management work area to create, revise, or cancel a sales order. It doesn't apply during order import.

• This feature applies to all users and all business units.

Use Credit Card Tokens to Improve Security When You Import Sales Orders Through REST API

Order Management sends token details to Oracle Fusion Payments to validate, authorize and process the payment. You can send details about the credit card token on the order header and the order line. Use this feature to get the value that identifies the authorization request and the authorized amount from the CyberSource payment gateway.

Use these new attributes in your REST API payload.

Resource	Attribute	Description
payments	CardTokenNumber	Token number from the service that provides the token for the card number. If you import a token and an authorization, then you must include a value for CardTokenNumber.
payments	CardFirstName	First name of the card holder.
payments	CardLastName	Last name of the card holder.
payments	CardExpirationDate	Expiration date on the credit card. Provide a value in the format YYYY/MM/DD.
payments	CardIssuerCode	Abbreviation that identifies the organization that issues the card, such as Visa or MasterCard.
payments	MaskedCardNumber	Masked format that displays only the last four digits of a card number, and replaces all other digits with an X, for security purposes. The length of the value for MaskedCardNumber must match the length of the number on the card. For example, for a Visa card with number 4123456789012345, set MaskedCardNumber to XXXXXXXXXXXX2345.
payments	AuthorizationRequestId	Value that uniquely identifies the authorization request that you receive from the token service. If you don't want to use CardTokenNumber to authorize your import, then you must provide a value for AuthorizationRequestId or VoiceAuthorizationCode. If you provide a value for both of these attributes, then the import uses AuthorizationRequestId.
payments	VoiceAuthorizationCode	Abbreviation that identifies the voice authorization. If you don't want to use CardTokenNumber to authorize your import, then you must provide a value for AuthorizationRequestId or VoiceAuthorizationCode. If you provide a value for both of these attributes, then the import uses AuthorizationRequestId.
payments	PaymentServerOrderNumber	Number that identifies the card payment that Oracle Payment Server authorized.
payments	AuthorizedAmount	Amount that the token service authorized for the transaction. If you provide a value in the AuthorizationRequestId in your import payload, then you must also include a value for AuthorizedAmount.

Here's an example of a REST API payload that imports credit card details.

Example of a REST API Payload That Imports Credit Card Details

Here's a summary of how it works.

1. You import your REST API payload.
2. Order Management Cloud calls Oracle Fusion Payments.
3. Payments communicates with CyberSource to validate and store the details that you import.
4. Payments sends the Payment Transaction Extension Identifier to Order Management.
5. To view credit card details, go to the Order Management work area, open your sales order, go to the Billing and Payment Details tab, then use the Payment Status dialog on the order line.

Payment Status Dialog on the Order Line

Meet the Data Security Standards (DSS) that the PCI Security Standards Council specifies. Specify exact, credit card details in a secure way to pay for the transaction. Use the card token without handling any sensitive credit card details.

Send a value that identifies the authorization request to your upstream source system.

Steps to Enable

Use the FOM_ENABLE_CARD_PAYMENT order profile. For details, see the Use Order Profiles to Control Order Management Behavior topic on Oracle Help Center.

Tips And Considerations

• You can process credit card details in Oracle Fusion Applications only under controlled availability.

• Credit card processing is available only for Oracle Fusion Applications services that use Oracle Fusion Payments.

• Credit card processing is available only in data centers where Fusion Applications Payments is certified for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS v3.2.1).

• You can use Oracle Fusion Payments only with payment gateways that can process tokens and credit card payments.  For details about the certified data centers and payment gateways that you can use, see Is Credit Card Processing Supported In Oracle Fusion Applications? (Doc ID 1949941.1) on My Oracle Support.

• Send tokenization attributes for the credit card only when the Payment Method attribute equals Credit Card. If you don't use this method, then Order Management won't create the sales order.

• The Credit Card Token attribute is required only if your import payload includes the token attributes for the credit card.

Warnings

• You must never send credit card numbers to Oracle Fusion Cloud Service that aren't tokenized. If they aren't tokenized, then you must modify them so they don't reveal the actual card number. For example, you can truncate the number so that you send no more than the first six digits or the last four digits of the number.

• You must never send the credit card data, including credit card tokens, outside the supported business flows through a file, attachment, email, descriptive flexfield, or any other attribute.

Recover Sales Orders That Fail When Updating Advanced Shipment Notices in Drop Ship Flows

Oracle Order Management Cloud uses one of these flows to manage a drop shipment:

• Advance Shipment Notice (ASN)
• AP Invoice Match

Oracle Receiving Cloud raises a business event for these flows to publish the shipment details, and Order Management uses that event to update fulfillment details on the sales order.

In some situations, Order Management can’t process the event, the status on the sales order remains in Awaiting Shipping status, but the status on the purchase order is different depending on what fulfillment shipped.

What Fulfillment Shipped	Status on the Purchase Order
The entire sales order	Closed for Receiving
Only part of the sales order	Open

Now, the status on the sales order isn't synchronized with the status on the purchase order. Currently, to fix this problem, you send an updated advance shipment notice through a web service payload to move the sales order to Awaiting Billing status, and then to invoicing.

Use this feature to prevent order lines from being stuck when Order Management processes an advance shipment notice.

Order Management will automatically attempt to fix the problem five times in approximately 120 minutes. Each attempt will try to recover from technical errors that occur in the environment when processing the advance shipment notice. If these retries fail, then you can use the Recover Errors scheduled process or the Recover Order action.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

You can only recover some errors when you use the Recover Order action. If you can't use Recover Order, then run the Recover Errors scheduled process.

Key Resources

Configurator

Revise the Quantity of an Existing Configuration Using a REST Service

Use a REST API to change the root quantity of an existing configuration and receive a new revision of that configuration. You can maintain the previous configuration and use the new revision going forward.

You can quote a single configured product to your customers and change the ordered quantity as the business requirements change when booking the order for your customers.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

Consider the following sample JSON input payload to revise the quantity of an existing configuration:

{

   "quantity": 3

}

This payload provides the quantity attribute that will be used when invoking the custom action reviseQuanity on an existing configuration.

Key Resources

• Refer to the REST APIs for Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud documentation, available on the Oracle Help Center.

Unrelease Models in Production from the Configurator Modeling Work Area

From the Configurator Models work area, you can now unrelease the latest version of models in production to revert to their previously released versions. Models can now be unreleased from workspaces containing modified snapshots. The set of models being unreleased no longer needs to include referring models.

Channel Revenue Management

Supplier Channel Management

Creates and administers supplier trade programs, optimizing the execution and impact of programs and promotions across the demand chain.

Manage Supplier Rebate Programs

Manage your supplier rebate programs to define the rules of rebate promotions from your suppliers. You can create the supplier rebate program from a program type, which acts as a template for the program. You can define supplier terms including date effectivity on 1 of 5 date contexts (including requested delivery date, purchase order date, receiving transaction date, requested ship date, and actual ship date). You need to define the supplier site, product eligibility, as well as the discounts provided (either percent and amount-based rebates), and which of your bill-to or ship-to locations are eligible. You can also identify alternate distributors or supplier sites.

Calculate Accruals for Supplier Rebate Programs

You can create accruals for supplier rebate programs using the scheduled process, Create Accruals for Channel Batch. This process checks to see if an accrual can be recorded for each receiving transaction in a channel batch.

Based on the channel setting, Event for Triggering Supplier Rebate Accrual, you can either choose to record accruals upon receipt of supplier invoice for received goods; or record accruals immediately upon receipt of goods. If you choose to record accruals on supplier invoicing, then the application checks to see if goods received have been invoiced through Payables. Channel Revenue Management uses this setting to trigger accrual events to Subledger Accounting.

Potential accruals that are eligible, but not yet earned are also tracked. If eligible for a rebate and earned, then an earned accrual is tracked and interfaced to Subledger Accounting. Potential and earned accruals can be viewed from within the program checkbook or the supplier checkbook.

Additional Steps:

• Manage Channel Settings 
  • Supplier Rebate > Event for Triggering Supplier Rebate Accrual at the business unit level

Tips And Considerations

• Manage Channel Setting
  • Category: Supplier Rebate
  • Setting: Event for Triggering Supplier Rebate Accrual
  • Based on this setting, you can choose to record accruals upon the receipt of supplier invoice for received goods, or record accruals immediately upon the receipt of goods.

• Understand how your implementation wishes to trigger earned accruals for supplier rebates in each business unit. Generally, most organizations trigger earned accruals upon the receipt of supplier invoice for received goods; because it validates that the received goods were not delivered in error, and there can be no doubt which received goods are being accrued and claimed with an invoice number. 

• There are no potential accruals if the setting is to record accruals upon receiving goods because the accruals will be immediately earned and not require waiting for the invoice from the supplier.

Extract Available Sources for an Item Organization Using a REST Service

Oracle Cloud Supply Chain Planning applications may need to coexist with other enterprise applications that you have. You can use technologies, such as file-based data import (FBDI) or REST API, to enable integrations with other applications. With this update, you can extract available upstream sources, and their attributes, associated with a sourcing rule assignment using the resource Supply Sources.

While querying this REST resource with the finder called findSources, you need to provide values for three parameters:

• Assignment Set Name
• Item Name
• Organization Code

The REST service will then provide the most specific set of sourcing rules for the combination of these parameters.

You can use this Item Sources REST service to simplify integrations and support standards-based interoperability with your other applications and external systems.

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.

Key Resources

• The Extract Available Sources for an Item Organization Using a REST Service readiness training available on Oracle Cloud Readiness for Supply Chain Planning.

• The Supply Chain Planning section of the REST API for Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud guide on the Oracle Help Center.
