Optional Uptake of New Features (Opt In)

Oracle Cloud Applications delivers new updates every quarter. This means every three months you'll receive new functionality to help you efficiently and effectively manage your business. Some features are delivered Enabled meaning they are immediately available to end users. Other features are delivered Disabled meaning you have to take action to make available. Features delivered Disabled can be activated for end users by stepping through the following instructions using the following privileges:

• Review Applications Offering (ASM_REVIEW_APPLICATIONS_OFFERINGS_PRIV)
• Configure Oracle Fusion Applications Offering (ASM_CONFIGURE_OFFERING_PRIV)

Here’s how you opt in to new features:

1. Click Navigator > My Enterprise > New Features.
2. On the Features Overview page, select your offering to review new features specific to it. Or, you can leave the default selection All Enabled Offerings to review new features for all offerings.
3. On the New Features tab, review the new features and check the opt-in status of the feature in the Enabled column. If a feature has already been enabled, you will see a check mark. Otherwise, you will see an icon to enable the feature.
4. Click the icon in the Enabled column and complete the steps to enable the feature.

In some cases, you might want to opt in to a feature that's not listed in the New Features work area. Here's how to opt in:

1. Click Navigator > My Enterprise > Offerings.
2. On the Offerings page, select your offering, and then click Opt In Features.
3. On the Opt In page, click the Edit Features (pencil) icon for the offering, or for the functional area that includes your feature.
4. On the Edit Features page, complete the steps to enable the feature.

For more information and detailed instructions on opting in to new features for your offering, see Configure Offerings.

Opt In Expiration

Occasionally, features delivered Disabled via Opt In may be enabled automatically in a future update. This is known as an Opt In Expiration. If your cloud service has any Opt In Expirations you will see a related tab in this document. Click on that tab to see when the feature was originally delivered Disabled, and when the Opt In will expire, potentially automatically enabling the feature. You can also click here to see features with Opt In Expirations across all Oracle Cloud Applications.

Feature Summary

Supply Chain Orchestration

Supply Chain Orchestration

Improve Processing After Supply Chain Orchestration Updates Supply or Demand

Manually reduce or cancel the quantity that remains open on a transfer order or purchase order even when only part of the supply is available. Reduce the errors that might come up when you make these adjustments. Let Oracle Order Management know when Oracle Inventory Management closes a transfer order that's within the shipment tolerance but under the quantity that you requested. Use this functionality in your back-to-back flows.

Manage the response that you get from your fulfillment systems when Oracle Supply Chain Orchestration closes one transfer order but the supply order has other transfer orders that remain open. Use this functionality with your internal material transfers when you might have more than one transfer line in a single supply order.

Reduce errors and user interaction when changes are required to supply or demand.

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 24B

Key Resources

• Using Supply Chain Orchestration
• Supply Chain Orchestration

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)

Users who are assigned a configured job role that contains these privileges and can create a supply order in the Supply Orchestration work area can access other parts of this feature.

• Create Supply Request (DOS_CREATE_SUPPLY_REQUEST)
• View Supply Line Details (DOS_VIEW_SUPPLY_LINE_DETAILS)

Add Postprocessing Days When You Modify Ship Dates in Your Back-to-Back Flows

Add postprocessing days to the supply's requested delivery date when you modify the sales order's scheduled ship date. Use this feature to help you reliably meet that ship date in your back-to-back flow.

Here's how it works:

1. You update the sales order's scheduled ship date, then submit the sales order for scheduling and fulfillment.

2. Oracle Global Order Promising calculates the scheduled ship date and updates the sales order. Promising adds the postprocessing days to the scheduled ship date because the shipping warehouse will need them when the item arrives at the warehouse.

3. Oracle Order Management sends the update on the requested delivery date to Oracle Supply Chain Orchestration. The requested delivery date includes the postprocessing days.

4. Promising subtracts the postprocessing days from the scheduled ship date to calculate the recommended requested delivery date that it sends to Supply Chain Orchestration so Supply Chain Orchestration can make the supply available in the warehouse. The warehouse manager can then do the postprocessing activities before shipping the item to the customer. For example, if the scheduled ship date is November 30, and if the postprocessing days is 5, then Promising will recommend November 25 as the requested delivery date.

5. Supply Chain Orchestration picks the requested delivery date from Global Order Promising's recommendation, then sends an update to your downstream application, such as Oracle Manufacturing.

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.

Common Technologies and User Experience

Approvals

Approvals Work Area with Enhanced User Interface and Adaptive Search

Instead of the Worklist: Approvals and Notifications work area, use the Approvals work area, which provides an enhanced user interface and adaptive search functionality. Tasks can be filtered by approval type, task type, or sender, or be searched by keyword.

The application is limited in functionality and isn’t a complete replacement for the Business Process Management (BPM) Worklist. For this reason, it’s available to set up at a site or user level.

If the application is set up, you can click Navigator > Tools > Approvals to open it, instead of Navigator > Tools > Worklist to open the Worklist: Approvals and Notifications work area.

The Approvals work area has three views.

Approvals Tasks

The Approvals Tasks page shows a list of the tasks assigned to the current user, including business attributes depending on approval type. You can organize your work using supplied filters, search on keywords, and approve or reject approvals.

Supplied filters include:

• Task type, for example Approval, FYI, or Request
• Approval type, for example, expense reports
• From, or the person who sent the approval

You can also search by keywords on other attributes of the tasks. Any combination of search and filters can be bookmarked and shared.

You can quickly address your tasks without waiting for each to complete before moving to the next approval. Supported actions include:

• Approve
• Reject
• Dismiss (FYIs)

You can also comment on approval or rejection actions in a drawer if required.

Quick View

Click a task in the list to open the Quick View, which displays additional information about the approval and allows you to approve or reject it. You can click the arrow to navigate to the next task in the list.

To get more information or take an action that isn’t yet available in the Quick View, click View More Details to open the Analytics Publisher or Application Development Framework (ADF) notification.

Click the Approvals Tasks link to navigate back to the list.

Approvals Status and History

Click Approvals Status and History to view the current status and assignee for approvals that you’ve either submitted or been an approver for.

Use the supplied filters and search by keyword to find historic approval information.

The Approvals work area is designed and built with performance as a priority. The user experience is improved for both desktop and tablet or mobile users, making it easy to act quickly on approval tasks and notifications.

Steps to Enable

1. Ensure that your environment has been patched before enabling the work area.

2. In the Scheduled Processes work area, run the Create Search Index for Worklist scheduled process once and ensure it has completed.

3. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the Manage Applications Core Administrator Profile Values task in the Application Extensions functional area. Set the Approval Requests UI Enabled (ORA_FND_APPROVALS) profile value depending on whether you want the Approvals work area to be available to all users or only some users.

Tips And Considerations

The Approvals work area doesn’t replace the BPM worklist or change the behavior of the Notifications icon. You still click Show All from the notifications list in the global header, then click Worklist to open the BPM Worklist and use these tools with the application. Setting up the application doesn’t impact the BPM Worklist or Notifications icon and data remains consistent.

The Tasks List view isn't currently configurable. It includes two attributes for each approval type, and the remaining attributes are shown in the Quick View.

As a new application, not all BPM Worklist use cases are yet supported. You can choose to set up the application at the site or user level. If you have some users who would benefit from this application, but want to keep others using the existing Worklist for all tasks, you can enable this feature for specific users by setting the profile option at the user level.

Here are some of the uses that aren’t yet met with the Approvals work area.

• Extensively modified approvals in terms of either notification or actions
• Approvals with heavy use of comments and attachments, and Requests for Information (RFIs)
• Managers who manage their teams’ tasks
• Approvals requiring digital signatures
• Support for proxy users
• Support for some workflows

For these uses, wait to set up the application. Here are some examples.

• The Approvals work area shouldn't be enabled if you require Electronic Records and Electronic Signatures (ERES) in industries regulated by the Federal Drug Administration.

• If you’re using Project Management, Channel Claim, or Channel Program approvals, it’s recommended that you wait until the next release.

Only supported actions are currently available. If you have considerable custom actions, you should consider implementing later.

Not all approval types have attributes available. Test to see if it works for your important workflows.

Key Resources

• Set Up the Approvals Work Area (available January 5)
• Use the Approvals Work Area to Manage Approvals (available January 5)
• Update Existing Setup Data
• Set Profile Option Values

Order Management

Order Management

Cover Assets and Renew Coverages and Subscriptions in Order Management

Integrate Oracle Order Management with Oracle Subscription Management so you can use Order Management to create a coverage that covers an asset that already exists in Oracle Asset Management, and then integrate the coverage with Subscription Management.  Use this integration to help manage your assets. For example, manage assets when your customer orders several serialized items on an order line, but later calls and wants to cover only one of these serials. For another example, provide a coverage on an asset that you don't sell. You can now specify the asset as the covered item, and you can do this through the Order Management work area, REST API, or FBDI with REST API. This allows you to use a single integration to manage all of your sales orders that involve assets.

You can also use Order Management to renew your coverages and subscriptions through REST API. Subscription Management creates a draft subscription when the subscription is up for renewal, and uses a business event to notify the upstream system that it's up for renewal. You can then negotiate the renewal in your upstream system, approve it, then use REST API to send it Order Management. Include a reference to the subscription that you're renewing. Next, use Order Management to send it to Subscription Management as a renewal. Subscription Management will create a new subscription, and that new subscription will have a reference to the old subscription that you just renewed. This allows all subscription integrations to now come through Order Management as one source for all ordering actions.

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: Sales

If you need to manage only assets, then opt into the Integrate Order Management with Subscription Management to Process Coverages feature.

If you need to renew, then opt into these features depending on whether you're renewing subscriptions or coverages. You can opt into both features:

• Integrate Order Management with Subscription Management to Process Subscriptions
• Integrate Order Management with Subscription Management to Process Coverages

Tips And Considerations

Cover an Asset That Already Exists

1. Set up the integration. See Integrate Order Management with Subscription Management.
2. Create a sales order in the Order Management work area.
3. Add a coverage to the sales order. 

You use the Select Covered Item dialog to add coverage to an asset that already exists in Asset Management. 

Here's that coverage on the order line.

You can also set other values on the order line that affect the coverage. For example, add a pricing term, override a charge, and so on. The values that you can set depend on how you set up pricing.

Use Order Management to Renew a Subscription in Subscription Management

1. Set up the integration. See Integrate Order Management with Subscription Management.

2. Create a REST API payload that references the renewal. For details, go to REST API for Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud, expand Order Management, then click Sales Orders for Order Hub.

3. Submit the payload and create the sales order.

NOTE:

• You can use this feature only with order lines that you create after you opt into the feature.
• Order Management won't apply this feature to order lines that you create before you opt in.

You can use different orchestration processes to send the coverage to Subscription Management:

• If the covered item is on the same sales order, use the DOO_ProductFulfillmentWithIntegratedSubscription orchestration process.
• If the covered item is on a different sales order, use the DOO_IntegratedSubscriptionOnly orchestration process.

Key Resources

• Set Up Coverages for Sales Orders
• Manage Pricing for Covered Items
• Use FBDI and REST API to Import a Bunch of Sales Orders
• Implementing Subscription Management

Access Requirements

Users who are assigned a configured job role that contains these privileges can access this feature in the Order Management work area:

• Initiate Order (FOM_CREATE_ORDER_PRIV)
• Revise Order (FOM_REVISE_ORDER_PRIV)
• Monitor Sales Order (DOO_MONITOR_SALES_ORDER_PRIV)
• Update Order Pricing Details (FOM_UPDATE_PRICING_DETAILS_PRIV)

• Create Sales Orders Using REST Services (FOM_SALES_ORDER_REST_POST_PRIV)
• Update Sales Order Requests Using REST Services (FOM_SALES_ORDER_REQUEST_REST_PATCH_PRIV)
• Update Sales Orders Using REST Services (FOM_SALES_ORDER_REST_PATCH_PRIV)

Create Integrated Coverage Lines in Order Management

Create an order line that contains a coverage in the Order Management work area, and then integrate the line with Oracle Subscription Management. You can also use REST API to import an order line that has a coverage, and then use Oracle Pricing to price that line when you create it.

Before this update, you could create a sales order that has a coverage line only through order import, such as through REST API, FBDI, or SOAP. Now you can do it in the Order Management work area.

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: Sales

Opt into the Integrate Order Management with Subscription Management to Process Coverages feature.

Tips And Considerations

Try it.

1. Set up the integration. See Integrate Order Management with Subscription Management.
2. Create a sales order in the Order Management work area.
3. Add an item that you can cover to the sales order, and then add a coverage to the covered item.

For example, add the AS54888 Computer.

Add a coverage to the covered item. For example, add a 2 Year Warranty.  Coverage on the order line

You can also set other values on the order line that affect the coverage. For example, add a pricing term, override a charge, and so on. The values that you can set depend on how you set up pricing.

NOTE:

• You can use this feature only with order lines that you create after you opt into the feature.
• Order Management won't apply this feature to order lines that you create before you opt in.

You can use different orchestration processes to send the coverage to Subscription Management:

• If the covered item is on the same sales order, use the DOO_ProductFulfillmentWithIntegratedSubscription orchestration process.
• If the covered item is on a different sales order, use the DOO_IntegratedSubscriptionOnly orchestration process.

As an alternative, create your own orchestration process and add the subscription step. See Set Up Orchestration Processes for Coverage Items.

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.

Prevent Buyer from Returning Only Part of Configured Item or Kit

Before update 24A, a buyer in Oracle Fusion Cloud Procurement could return only some of the requisition lines for a configured item or kit, and you ended up with a stuck sales order in Oracle Order Management. Starting with update 24A, Order Management now prevents the buyer from returning subcomponents of a configured item or kit. The buyer can return only the entire configured item or the entire kit.

Oracle reference: 35130965

Steps to Enable

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

Pricing

Use the Pricing Administration Work Area to Price Usage Charges According to Attribute Values

Use the Pricing Administration work area to set up a rule on a rate plan that uses your customer's attributes, the subscription's attributes, or the sales order's attributes to determine the base price for the subscription's usage charge. Before this update, you could only do this through REST API. When you select the Pricing matrix as the Calculation Method, you can select the attribute you want to specify for the columns, and then add the rules to determine the base price.

Global Order Promising

Import Routings Taking into Account Effectivity Start Dates

You may have routings with future effective start dates defined in your external manufacturing system of record. With this update, a new Effective Date attribute is added to the import template for Routings, ScpRoutingsImportTemplate, so that you can use the file-based data import process to upload routings with future effective start dates. Both unconstrained and constrained supply plans will honor the effective start dates. This capability enables you to flexibly define manufacturing processes in your systems as they evolve over time and have this evolution be part of the planning calculations.

Example of how you can define an effective start date for a routing in the ScpRoutingsImport file-based data import (FBDI) template:

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

• Effective start date for a routing can be in the past, the system date, or a future date
• Operation effective start dates can be either equal to or greater than the start date of the routing
• Effective start date is supported for both discrete and process work definition methods from an external source system
• Effective start date for routing can be collected in targeted and incremental or net change collection types

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, which enhances 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 has continued over several updates. Starting in update 24A, the C++-based order promising solution will no longer be available, and all order promising in Oracle Fusion Cloud will be performed using the high-volume order promising solution. (If you have implemented and are using capable-to-promise features, then C++-based order promising will no longer be available to you as of update 24B.)

If you use capable to promise or allocated order promising, you must complete some setups before you move to the high-volume order promising solution. For details, see this Oracle Cloud Customer Connect Event: SCM – Prepare for the Next Generation of Global Order Promising.

If you are opted in to the feature named High-Volume Order Promising, you can use the features described in this section.

Vary the Type and Rate of Consumption for Manufacturing Components, Materials, and Resources in the Bill of Resources

Some resources need a fixed setup time in addition to a cycle time for each operation in order to create the order line's quantity. A manufacturing operation might also consume more of the material or component's quantity to provide test samples, allow for scrap during calibration or setup, or to support other one time activities. To meet the demand from this fixed and variable consumption, you can now specify more than one consumption rate for resource capacity, components, and materials in your bill of resources.

Meet fixed and variable demand for your components and resources in your bill of resources even when the same operation has more than one instance of the same component or resource in your fulfillment flow.

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. Enable the feature.

2. Specify the lead time as fixed or variable for each component and resource in your work definition. For details, see Use Work Definitions with Your Bill of Resources.

3. Collect data. See Collect Data for Global Order Promising.

4. Run the Create Bills of Resources scheduled process. Global Order Promising uses the bill of resources to determine the quantities for the components and resources that it needs to meet demand. See Create a Bill of Resources.

Tips And Considerations

If you want to use the Vary the Type and Rate of Consumption for Manufacturing Components, Materials, and Resources in the Bill of Resources feature, then you must opt in to its parent feature: High-Volume Order Promising. If you’ve already opted in to this parent feature, then you don’t have to opt in again.

Key Resources

• See the Automatically Generate Bills of Resources for Capable to Promise feature, which is available beginning with update 22A.

Access Requirements

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

• Schedule Fulfillment Line (MSP_SCHEDULE_ORCHESTRATION_ORDER_FULFILLMENT_LINE_PRIV)
• Edit Bills of Resources (MSC_EDIT_BILLS_OF_RESOURCES_PRIV)
• View Bills of Resources (MSC_VIEW_BILLS_OF_RESOURCES_PRIV)

Use Different Manufacturing Components, Materials, and Resources Depending on their Effective Start and End Dates

The way that you manufacture an item might evolve over time depending on the season, varying material properties, new regulations, design improvements, expected downtime, or other planned changes. Starting with this update, you can now specify these production changes in a single bill of resources. Promising will apply the lead time for each operation, then select the components, materials, and resources that are available and that are currently in effect according to their start dates and end dates.

Align the start dates and end dates for each component and resource in your bill of resources with the dates that your fulfillment flows use. Use more than one instance of the same component or resource in the same operation.

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. Enable the feature.

2. Specify the start date and end date for each component and each resource in the work definition. For details, see Use Work Definitions with Your Bill of Resources.

3. Collect data. See Collect Data for Global Order Promising.

4. Run the Create Bills of Resources scheduled process. This feature depends on the scheduled process to create the bill of resources. Global Order Promising uses this data to determine what components and resources are available according to their start dates and end dates, and will schedule sales orders so these components and resources can meet the order's demand dates. See Create a Bill of Resources.

Tips And Considerations

If you want to use the Use Different Manufacturing Components, Materials, and Resources Depending on their Effective Start and End Dates feature, then you must opt in to its parent feature: High-Volume Order Promising. If you’ve already opted into the parent, then you don’t have to opt in again.

Key Resources

• See the Automatically Generate Bills of Resources for Capable to Promise feature, which is available beginning with update 22A.

Access Requirements

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

• Schedule Fulfillment Line (MSP_SCHEDULE_ORCHESTRATION_ORDER_FULFILLMENT_LINE_PRIV)
• Edit Bills of Resources (MSC_EDIT_BILLS_OF_RESOURCES_PRIV)
• View Bills of Resources (MSC_VIEW_BILLS_OF_RESOURCES_PRIV)

Use Pick-Pack Lead Time in Order Promising

Add lead time to your scheduled shipment date and scheduled delivery date. Use the lead time to do various activities, such as to label and package your item, or prepare the shipment.

Oracle Global Order Promising typically schedules order lines to ship on the day that supply becomes available at the fulfillment location. It delays fulfillment only if it receives an availability check or a scheduling request on the same day that it must ship and after the value in the network model's Order Shipment Cutoff Time attribute. You might need more time to package and label the item, arrange for transportation, or do quality checks before you ship. You can now add extra pick and pack lead time for these activities and you can adjust that time according to the fulfillment organization, carrier, and destination. The lead time that you specify will offset the promised shipment and delivery date for each order line.

Use the Pick and Pack Lead Time attribute to add flexibility between the date when supply becomes available at your fulfillment organization and the time when you ship it.

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

Set the pick and pack lead time:

1. Opt into the feature.
2. Go to the Plan Inputs work area, then click Tasks > Maintain Supply Network Model.
3. On the Maintain Supply Network Model page, click Interlocation Shipping Networks.
4. Search for and open your network.
5. Enter a whole number in the Pick and Pack Lead Time attribute.
6. Click Save.

Tips And Considerations

You must opt into the Use Pick-Pack Lead Time in Order Promising feature's parent, which is High-Volume Order Promising. If you’ve already opted into the parent, then you don’t have to opt in again.

You can set a value in the Pick and Pack Lead Time attribute on the Interlocation Shipping Networks tab, the Carriers tab, and the Organization tab. If you set it on more than one tab, then Promising uses a hierarchy to prioritize the lead time. It uses the lead time that you set for:

1. The source, destination, and carrier.
2. The carrier.
3. The organization.

NOTE:

• You can use this feature with different types of supply, such as on hand, transfer orders, purchase orders, or work orders.

• You can't use this feature with a drop shipment.

• If the value in the network model's Order Shipment Cutoff Time attribute applies at run time, then Promising will apply the value that you set in the Pick and Pack Lead Time attribute over and above the shift due to cutoff time.

• In Planning oriented businesses, the Pick and Pack Lead Time attribute is best suited if you use the make to stock flow for supply planning or replenishment planning. For details, see Make to Stock Flow.

Access Requirements

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

• Schedule Fulfillment Line (MSP_SCHEDULE_ORCHESTRATION_ORDER_FULFILLMENT_LINE_PRIV)
• Edit Supply Network Model (MSC_EDIT_SUPPLY_NETWORK_MODEL_PRIV)
• View Supply Network Model (MSC_VIEW_SUPPLY_NETWORK_MODEL_PRIV)
