Feature Summary

Supply Chain Orchestration

Supply Chain Orchestration

Extend the View Manual Reservations for Your Back-to-Back Sales Orders Feature

Extend the View Manual Reservations for Your Back-to-Back Sales Orders feature so you can view all of the reservations that you create manually in a back-to-back flow. Before this release, you could view manual reservations only for lines that have an Unassigned supply type on the supply order. Now you can view the supply orders, transfer orders, purchase orders, and work orders that fulfill all of your manual reservations even while Oracle Supply Chain Orchestration is still processing that supply. Also, before this release, you couldn't cancel a manual reservation when you cancel the order line. Now you can.

If a manual reservation might cause excess supply, then the Supply Orchestration work area displays a new icon on the supply line. If you hover over it, you'll see the Excess Supply text.

Quickly see what excess supply you have reserved for each sales order in your back-to-back flows.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

• You must manually opt into the View Manual Reservations for Your Back-to-Back Sales Orders feature until update 24A.

• Supply Chain Orchestration doesn't automatically modify a manual reservation for a change in demand that it receives from Oracle Order Management. You must manually modify the reservation.

• The quantity for the work order, purchase request, or transfer order might be different from the reservation's quantity or the quantity on the supply or tracking line because other requests might also use the work order, purchase request, or transfer order.

Access Requirements

The feature is available to any privilege that can create and submit a sales order.

Users who are assigned a configured job role that contains these privileges can access this feature:

• Initiate Order (FOM_CREATE_ORDER_PRIV)
• Submit Order (FOM_SUBMIT_ORDER_PRIV)

Hold Changes from Manufacturing Until Purchase Orders Are Ready in Outside Processing Flows

Use Oracle Supply Chain Orchestration to temporarily hold the changes that you receive from Oracle Manufacturing. Use this feature in your outside processing flow when a work order or an operation undergoes change, but Oracle Purchasing hasn't created the purchase order or is revising it.

Here's how it works:

1. A work order or an operation undergoes a change in your outside processing flow, and then Oracle Manufacturing sends an update request to Supply Chain Orchestration. Manufacturing might send another request each time a work order or operation undergoes change.

2. If Purchasing hasn’t created the purchase order or is revising it, then Supply Chain Orchestration temporarily holds the update request.

3. Purchasing creates or finishes revising the purchase order, and then Supply Chain Orchestration automatically sends the most recent update request that it has received from Oracle Manufacturing to Purchasing.

Increase your processing efficiency and prevent failures that happen when you send an update request to Purchasing. Instead of having Supply Chain Orchestration send every request that it receives from Manufacturing to Purchasing, wait until Purchasing creates or finishes revising the purchase order, then send only the latest request.

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.

Use Redesigned Pages to Create Transfer Supply Requests

Use a redesigned page to help you create a transfer request on your desktop, tablet, or mobile device. Supply Chain Orchestration will display the supply source that provides the optimal fulfillment for your request, by default. You can accept the default supply source or pick another one from a list of sources when you create the request. You can create the request for a standard item or for an item that's part of a project.

Improve your user experience when you need to create a transfer request on your desktop, tablet, or mobile device.

Receive Streamlined Error Message Reporting for B2B Messages Sent Using Web Services

The validation process for inbound messages received through synchronous web service operations has been improved. Now, the caller receives only relevant and correctable errors that can be fixed before the message is processed. The refined process validates the following:

• Authentication:  The caller of the service is a valid user.

• Authorization: The caller of the web service is assigned a job role with the privilege Invoke Collaboration Message Inbound Service (CMK_INVOKE_INBOUND_COLLAB_DOC_SERVICE_PRIV).

• Sender party: The SENDER_ID and SENDER_ID_TYPE in the payload have a valid trading partner ID and ID type.

• External message definitions: The external message definition in the payload exists in Oracle Collaboration Messaging Framework.

• Invalid order numbers Inbound messages that reference a PO such as PO acknowledgments, invoices, and shipments, have valid PO numbers

Other B2B setup errors are logged and managed in the Collaboration Messaging work area. The asynchronous operation remains unchanged, with the credentials validated and errors returned for invalid credentials.

As the sender of B2B messages, you only receive errors that are in your control to fix. As the receiver of B2B messages, you can review errors in Collaboration Messaging Framework that you have access to correct, ensuring a more efficient process for troubleshooting any issues encountered during the exchange of B2B messages.

Steps to Enable

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

Key Resources

Order Management

Order Management

Split and Update Fulfillment Lines Using REST API

Use the Sales Orders for Order Hub REST API to split or update fulfillment lines across sales orders without having to revise them.

Assume only some of the item's quantity on the order line is available on the requested date in the warehouse. The remaining quantity is available on a different date or in another warehouse, or a substitute item is available. You have different ways to reduce the delay in shipping the item to your customer. For example, you can:

• Split the line into lines x and y, ship the available quantity on the requested date on line x, and then ship the remaining quantity on the next available date on line y. 

• Split the line into lines x and y, ship the available quantity from the warehouse on line x, and then ship the remaining quantity from another warehouse on the requested date on line y.

• Ship a substitute item.

You can now use the Update Scheduling Attribute action and the Split Fulfillment Line action in the Sales Orders For Order Hub REST API to update or split fulfillment lines across sales orders. You can update scheduling attributes on the lines, Order Management will compensate the fulfillment tasks, and then send the updated and split lines to your downstream fulfillment systems.

Update Attributes That Affect Scheduling

You can use the Update Scheduling Attribute action to update these attributes on the fulfillment line:

• Scheduled Ship Date
• Scheduled Arrival date
• Warehouse
• Supplier
• Supplier Site
• Shipping Method, including carrier, mode of transport, and service level
• Demand Class
• Item
• Shipment Set

If you use the Update Scheduling Attribute action to change the item on the fulfillment line, then Order Management will substitute the item on the line. If you use it to update the shipment set to an empty value, then Order Management will remove the fulfillment line from the shipment set.

REST Request to Update Scheduling Attributes

Here's how it works.

1. Order Management validates your values then updates the fulfillment lines according to your request. If the update is successful, then Order Management returns a success status for the lines.

2. The orchestration process on the fulfillment line uses the attribute that you updated to identify change for a fulfillment task, compensates the fulfillment task, and then sends the updated attribute value on the fulfillment line to the fulfillment system. For example, if you change a scheduled date, substitute the item, or remove a fulfillment line from a shipment set, then Order Management compensates the Schedule, Reservation, and Shipping tasks, and then sends the changes to Oracle Global Order Promising and Oracle Inventory Management.

3. Order Management displays the updated values in the fulfilment view.

Fulfillment View After Successfully Updating Scheduling Attributes

Guidelines

• You must include the fulfillment lines and an updated value for at least one of the scheduling attributes on each line. 

• As an option, you can include a reason when you update a scheduling attribute or substitute an item.

• If the item has a coverage, and if you want to substitute the covered item, then the substitute item’s Enable Coverage Contract attribute in the Product Information Management work area must equal Yes.

Configured Items, Kits, and Shipment Sets

• You must include all of the items that are part of a configured item, kit, or shipment set, and you must use the same values in the scheduling attributes on each line that's part of the configured item, kit, or shipment set.

• If you want to remove a fulfillment line from a shipment set, then include an empty value such as " ", or include the value null in the ShipSetName attribute in the fulfillment line entity.

• You don’t need to unschedule a fulfillment line to remove it from a shipment set. For example, you can remove a line that’s in the Awaiting Shipping status from a shipment set. However, if you use the Remove from Shipment Set action in a fulfillment view in the Order Management work area, then you must continue to unschedule the fulfillment line before you remove it from the shipment set. 

• You can't change the shipment set on a fulfillment line to another value. You can only change it to an empty value.

• You can update scheduling attributes when you remove a fulfillment line from a shipment set. For example, you can update the scheduled ship date, scheduled arrival date, warehouse, shipping method, and so on.

Substitutions

• If you want to substitute an item on the line, then specify the substitute item in one of these attributes: InventoryItemID, ProductNumber, or ProductDescription.

• You can update scheduling attributes when you substitute an item. For example, you can update the scheduled ship date, scheduled arrival date, warehouse, shipping method, and so on.

• You can substitute only a standard item. You can't substitute a configured item, kit, or the child item of a configured item or kit. 

• If the line is in a shipment set, then you can't substitute the item on the fulfillment line. Instead, you can remove the fulfillment line from the shipment set, and then substitute the item.

Split Fulfillment Lines

You can use the Split Fulfillment Line action to split a fulfillment line.

REST Request to Split Fulfillment Lines

Here's how it works.

1. Order Management validates your values, splits the fulfillment line according to your request, reduces the quantity on the fulfillment line that you're splitting, and then creates new fulfillment lines for each split line. If you update scheduling attributes on the original fulfillment line or the split lines, then Order Management also updates these values on the original and split lines. Order Management returns a successful request status for these lines. 

2. The orchestration process on the fulfillment line compensates the fulfillment tasks, and then sends the original fulfillment lines with the reduced quantity and the updated scheduling attributes to your downstream fulfillment systems. It also sends requests to create the split lines to these systems.

3. Order Management displays the updated values in the fulfillment view.

Fulfillment View After Successfully Splitting Fulfillment Lines

Guidelines

• You must include the reduced quantity on the original fulfillment line and the remaining quantity on the split lines. The sum of these quantities must equal the original quantity. Assume line x has a quantity of 10 and you split x into line x and line y. The sum of the quantities on x and y must equal 10.

• You can split a fulfillment line into more than two lines. For example, you can split a fulfillment line into four lines, then assign a different warehouse on each of those four lines.

• The values in the scheduling attributes on the split lines don't have to match the values on the original line. 

• You can update the scheduling attributes on the original fulfillment line when you split it. For example, you can include updated values for the scheduled date, warehouse, supplier, and so on.

• If you use the Split Fulfillment Line action in REST API, then you can split the line even if it isn't on a manual step. For example, you can split a line that’s in the Awaiting Shipping status. However, if you use the Split action on a fulfillment view in the Order Management work area, then you must make sure the fulfillment line is on a manual step. If you use the Check Availability action on a fulfillment view, then you must continue to unschedule the fulfillment line from the fulfillment view before you split it in the Check Availability dialog.

• You can't use a single request to split a fulfillment line and substitute an item on the original line at the same time. Instead, send one request that substitutes the item on the original line, then send another request that splits the line.

• If you create your own task and use a hold service on that task, and if your fulfillment line is on your task's wait step, then you can't split the fulfillment line. 

• You can’t use the Split Fulfillment Line action to split a fulfillment line that includes an inventory transaction.

• If you split a fulfillment line, and if the fulfillment tolerance on the line isn’t 0, and you ship the split line, then Oracle Shipping won’t consider the cumulative quantity that you already shipped across all of the order line’s fulfillment lines. Instead, shipping will consider only the quantity on the split line that Shipping is currently shipping.

Configured Items, Kits, and Shipment Sets

• You must include all of the items that are part of a configured item or kit, and you must use the same values in the scheduling attributes on each line that's part of the configured item or kit.

• You can’t split a fulfillment line that's in a shipment set. Instead, you can remove the fulfillment line from the shipment set and then split it.

• If you split a configured item or a kit, then the split must be in proportion. For details, see How Configure-to-Order Works.

Realize these benefits:

• Provide more flexibility in how you split a fulfillment line or update scheduling attributes on the line.
• Improve efficiency and performance when you split a fulfillment line or update scheduling attributes on the line.
• Improve usability and efficiency when you need to split or update fulfillment lines in more than one sales order.
• Avoid revising sales orders.

Steps to Enable

Review the REST service definition in the REST API guides to leverage (available from the Oracle Help Center > your apps service area of interest > APIs & Schema). If you are new to Oracle's REST services you may want to begin with the Quick Start section.

Tips And Considerations

You can’t use REST API's Split Fulfillment Line action or Update Scheduling Attribute action on:

• A return line, coverage, or subscription
• An item that you don’t ship
• A fulfillment line that's already undergoing change or that isn't on an active wait step.
• A fulfillment line that Order Management created while partially fulfilling a drop shipment.
• A remnant line of a configured item. 
• A sales order that you submitted before you opted into the Update Attributes on Split Order Lines for Partial Shipments feature.

Note

• If the update or split fails for a fulfillment line, then Order Management won't update or split the line and instead return an error status. If your request includes more than one fulfillment line, then the update or split might be successful for some lines but fail for the other lines. Order Management returns a success status for the successful lines and an error status for the failed lines. If the failed line is part of a configured item, kit, or shipment set, then Order Management won’t update or split any of the items that are part of the configured item, kit, or shipment set, and instead return an error on all the lines.

• The Update Scheduling Attribute action sets the Override Schedule attribute to Yes on the fulfillment line that you update, and the Split Fulfillment Line action sets it to Yes on the original fulfillment line and on the split lines.

• Order Management won't create a new revision for the sales order when you use these actions.

• You can use the processRequestOfflineAfter attribute to manage your REST request to split or update a fulfillment line. It works the same when you use REST API to split or update a fulfillment line as it does with holds. For details about using it, see Use REST API to Apply and Release Holds.

• If you use the Update Scheduling Attribute action on a fulfillment line that’s in the Manual Scheduling Required status because you set up scheduling as a manual task in the orchestration process or you unscheduled the line, and if you include a scheduled date and a warehouse attribute, or a scheduled date and a supplier and supplier site attribute in your REST payload, then Order Management will automatically schedule the fulfillment line. Order Management applies this same behavior when you use the Split Fulfillment Line action. For example, if you include these scheduling attributes in your payload, then it will automatically schedule the original line and the split lines. 

Other Features

You can also update or split a fulfillment line with other features and products. See:

• Split Order Lines to Reduce Delay During Rescheduling feature in the Backlog Management product.

• Split Scheduled Order Lines and Substitute Items in the Global Order Promising Work Area feature in the Global Order Promising product.

• Create Sales Orders Using REST Services (FOM_SALES_ORDER_REST_POST_PRIV)
• Split Orchestration Order Fulfillment Line (DOO_SPLIT_ORCHESTRATION_ORDER_FULFILLMENT_LINE_PRIV)

Use Order Management Extensions to Apply Holds on Order Headers

Use the On Start of Submission Request or the On Save extension point to apply a hold on the order header. Before update 23D, you could use an order management extension to apply a hold only on the order line.

Use an order management extension when you have a business requirement that you can't meet through Oracle Order Management's predefined hold behavior.

Increase your efficiency. Apply a single hold on the order header when your sales order has more than one order line instead of applying a separate hold on each line.

Steps to Enable

You must create a new profile option. Here's how:

1. Go to the Setup and Maintenance work area, click Tasks > Search, then search for Manage Profile Options.
2. On the Manage Profile Options page, in the search results, click Actions > New.
3. On the Create Profile Option page, set the values, then click Save and Close.

4. In the Profile Option Levels area, set the values.

5. Click Save and Close.

Tips And Considerations

You can continue to use your existing order management extensions to apply a hold on the order line. You don't need to create a profile option.

Selected Order Management Bug Fixes in This Update

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

Aggregate Drop Shipments According to the Number of Order Lines That Changed

Before update 23D, if you wanted to aggregate drop shipments according to the number of order lines that changed, you had to set the Aggregate According to Number of Order Lines That Changed profile option to Yes. Starting with update 23D, this profile option comes predefined with its value set to Yes, by default. For details, see the Aggregate Fulfillment Lines subtopic in Set Up Features, Manage Change, and More for Drop Ship.

You can also set the profile option to No to aggregate order lines according to time or to the number of lines in a routing rule. For details, see Aggregate Requests That Order Management Sends to Your Fulfillment System.

Recover from Errors That Involve Purchase Order Events

Recover from errors that happen when Oracle Order Management receives the PO_CO_IMPLEMENTED event or the PO_CO_RESCINDED event from Oracle Fusion Cloud Procurement.

Oracle Procurement raises the PO_CO_IMPLEMENTED event when it changes a purchase order, and it raises the PO_CO_RESCINDED event when it rejects a purchase order change. Before update 23D, if a failure happened when Order Management received one of these events, then you ended up with stuck sales orders. To fix the problem, you had to get payloads and data fixes from Oracle Support. Starting with update 23D, you can use the Recover Order action or run the Recover Errors scheduled process to fix the problem instead. For details, see Fix Errors in All Sales Orders.

For details about these events, see How Drop Ship Works in Order Management.

Global Order Promising

Plan Respecting Calendars Specific to Work Centers

In many manufacturing environments, different areas of the plant may run on different schedules. With this update, Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Management provides the ability to override the manufacturing calendar specified at the plant level with a more specific calendar for a work center. Previously, such situations had to be managed using shift exceptions which often led to increased overhead for data maintenance.

Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Planning honors these calendar specifications for work centers. Plans consider the resource availability hours for tactical supply planning, and work orders are scheduled considering the more detailed specifications for shift start and end.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

This feature is available to users if the corresponding opt in  feature in Oracle Manufacturing is enabled:

• Feature Name: Override the Plant Production Calendar with One or More Date-Effective Work Center Calendars  

• Feature Description: Specify one or more calendars with different date ranges within a work center to override the plant-level production calendar and model variations in shifts and resource capacity and availability. Each work center calendar is effective for a specified date range to facilitate more accurate manufacturing and maintenance work order planning and scheduling while minimizing data maintenance. 

• Feature ID: 16IL2A5

Key Resources

• Watch Plan Respecting Calendars Specific to Work Centers

Access Requirements

Users who are assigned a configured job role that contains these privileges can access this feature:

• Supply Chain Planner (ORA_MSC_SUPPLY_CHAIN_PLANNER_JOB)
• Materials Planner (ORA_MSC_MATERIALS_PLANNER_JOB)

These privileges were available prior to this update.

Multilevel Allocation In Order Promising

Allocation rules help you honor commitments and distribute high-demand items more fairly by ensuring that a specified quantity or percentage of supply is available to meet demand. When you’re opted in to this feature, enhanced supply allocation rules that use a hierarchy of attribute-based nodes to balance the allocation of supply across your network are enabled. Child allocations share supply allocated to the parent node when needed.

After you opt in to the feature named High-Volume Order Promising, opt in to the feature named Multilevel Order Promising. Then you can use the feature described in this section.

Allocate Real-Time Supply in Source Promising

Use an allocation rule in Oracle Global Order Promising to manage real-time supply when you use source promising. You can preserve a fixed amount or percent of supply for each customer, organization, region, demand class, or attribute according to your criteria. Use the rule to prevent earlier orders from consuming all the supply that's available. Before this update, you could use this feature only with database promising.

You can also specify a date range for shipments that you want Promising to include when it consumes the allocation. For example, to support a seasonal event, sales promotion, or other campaign.

Use this feature to help manage supply when you have potentially thousands or even millions of item and organization combinations.

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: Supply Chain Planning

Try it:

1. Opt into the High-Volume Order Promising feature and the Multilevel Allocation in Order Promising feature. If you’ve already opted in, then you don’t have to opt in again.

2. Set the Check ATP attribute to Source Based Promising. See Set Up Your Items in Product Information Management.

3. Enable the Respect Allocation Constraints attribute in your ATP rule. See Set Attributes on Your Supply Chain Search.

4. Set up the allocation node that you want to use with this feature. See Allocate Supply in a Hierarchy.

5. Set up the allocation rule that you want to use to allocate the item that you're promising with this feature. See Allocation Rule.

Tips And Considerations

• You don't need to collect data for items, supply, or demand.

• You can't use some of the pages in the Global Order Promising work area when you use this feature, such as the Review Supply Allocation page or the Review Supply Availability page. Instead, use the Check Availability action in the Order Management work area. See Order Management Analytics.

Key Resources

• Allocate Supply in a Hierarchy
• Source Promising
• Database Promising

Access Requirements

Users who are assigned a configured job role that contains these privileges can access this feature:

• Manage Allocation Attributes (MSC_MANAGE_ALLOCATION_ATTRIBUTES_PRIV)
• Manage Planning Allocation Rule (MSP_MANAGE_PLANNING_ALLOCATION_RULE_PRIV)

• View Planning Allocation Rule (MSP_VIEW_PLANNING_ALLOCATION_RULE_PRIV)
• Manage Projects (MSC_MANAGE_PROJECTS_PRIV)

High-Volume Order Promising

Order promising is a critical business process that must scale with demand and continue to operate even if hardware failures occur. Recent changes to Oracle Fusion Cloud Global Order Promising provide a scale-out architecture for availability checking and scheduling requests across a horizontal grid, enhancing capacity and resilience. The new architecture also reduces operational overhead, making supply and reference data updates immediately available, and eliminating the need to refresh/restart the order promising server.

Migration to the new architecture is continuing over several updates. Starting in update 24A, the C++-based order promising solution will be retired, and all order promising in Oracle Fusion Cloud will be performed using the high-volume order promising solution. You can transition to the new solution at any time by opting in to the High-Volume Order Promising feature. If you use capable to promise or allocated order promising, you must complete some setups before you make this transition. For details, see this Oracle Cloud Customer Connect Event: SCM – Prepare for the Next Generation of Global Order Promising.

After you opt in to the feature named High-Volume Order Promising, you can use the features described in this section.

Split Scheduled Order Lines and Substitute Items in the Global Order Promising Work Area

Use the Manage Order Promising Demands page in the Global Order Promising work area to split an order line into more than one line so you can ship from different organizations or on different days when you reschedule a sales order. Before this update, you could split a line only when you schedule the line, not when you reschedule.

If enough supply to meet demand is available only in more than one organization, then Promising will split the line. It will set the quantity on one line to the minimum quantity, and then set the remaining quantity on the second line according to the date when that remaining quantity becomes available.

You can also substitute an item to reduce delay in getting the item to your customer.

Fulfill items in a more timely way when you reschedule an order line.

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: Supply Chain Planning

Tips And Considerations

You must opt in to the parent High-Volume Order Promising feature. If you’ve already opted in, then you don’t have to opt in again.

Note these limitations when you use the Split Scheduled Order Lines and Substitute Items in the Global Order Promising Work Area feature.

• You can't use this feature with source promising. For details on source promising, see Source Promising.

• You can't split or substitute a pick-to-order model or kit.

• You can' split an item that's part of a shipment set.

• You can't substitute an assemble-to-order model.

• You can't use a single request to split an order line and substitute an item on the original line at the same time in Oracle Order Management. Instead, send one request to Order Management that substitutes the item on the original line, then send another request that splits the line.

• If Order Management receives a rescheduling request from Promising, and if the data in that request doesn't reflect the data that's currently in the execution system, then Order Management will reject the request. To avoid this problem, make sure you collect the order before you reschedule it in the Order Promising work area.

Key Resources

• Split or Substitute Fulfillment Lines

Access Requirements

Users who are assigned a configured job role that contains this privilege can access this feature:
