Pre-Update and Post-Update Tasks

Depending on the features you're using in your Cloud applications, you may be required to perform certain steps immediately before or after your quarterly update. For details of these pre-update and post-update steps and the product areas that are affected, refer to Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM: Performing Your Quarterly Update (doc ID 2337485.1) on My Oracle Support.

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.

Transmit a Purchase Order as a PDF File

You can use the Transmit the PO PDF as an unzipped file when it’s the only attachment check box to send a PO as an uncompressed PDF file by email to your suppliers. This option is applicable when the PO is the only attachment available for the message.

This feature makes it easier for smaller suppliers who don’t have automated systems to read the POs they receive.

Steps to Enable

The email delivery method may be configured for a service provider or a trading partner to transmit the PO PDF as an unzipped file. To enable this option,

1. Select Manage Collaboration Messaging Service Providers from the Tasks panel tab, and search for the service provider you're using to deliver your B2B messages. If you don’t use a service provider for sending and receiving messages, select Manage B2B Trading Partners from the Tasks panel.

2. Select the Delivery Methods tab, and on the email delivery method, select the Transmit the PO PDF as an unzipped file when it’s the only attachment check box.

Transmit the PO PDF as an Unzipped File When It’s the Only Attachment on the Delivery Methods Tab

3. Select Save and Close.

Tips And Considerations

The PO PDF is sent as an uncompressed file if it's the only attachment for the message. If there are additional attachments, all attachments including the PO PDF will be compressed and sent as a ZIP file. If your suppliers can’t receive a ZIP file, you can use the File Extension field on the email delivery method to set the extension of the file that is sent by email.

Supply Chain Collaboration

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.

Default Field Values and Validate Field Values in VB Studio Express Mode

Key Resources

To start extending your application pages in Visual Builder Studio, follow the instructions to access Visual Builder Studio. As you’re working, you can find additional information in these resources:

• Extend Oracle Cloud Applications in Visual Builder Express Mode
• Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM and SCM: Extending Redwood Applications for HCM and SCM Using Visual Builder Studio

Access Requirements

To extend application pages using Visual Builder Studio, you must be assigned a configured job role that contains this privilege:

• Administer Sandbox (FND_ADMINISTER_SANDBOX_PRIV)

This privilege was available prior to this update.

Supply Chain Collaboration

Today’s global supply chains increase manufacturers’ reliance on suppliers, contract manufacturers, and other trading partners. To be successful, companies must synchronize their activities across multiple tiers of trading parties. Oracle Fusion Cloud Supply Chain Collaboration enables companies to jointly plan supply, gain visibility into trading partner data, coordinate contract manufacturing execution, and measure performance across their trading networks. Trading partners are actively involved in the decision-making process, so they can exchange early warning signs and collaboratively resolve supply chain issues. Depending on the size and technical sophistication of each supplier, your company can interact using a portal-based user interface, standards-based B2B messages, or web services. Customers can also tailor Oracle Supply Chain Collaboration’s flexible, predefined business processes to their unique requirements. Enhanced collaboration results in more dynamic trading relationships, as well as increased reliability and efficiency of supply.
