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:
- Click Navigator > My Enterprise > New Features.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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:
- Click Navigator > My Enterprise > Offerings.
- On the Offerings page, select your offering, and then click Opt In Features.
- On the Opt In page, click the Edit Features (pencil) icon for the offering, or for the functional area that includes your feature.
- 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 Offering Configuration.
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.
Column Definitions:
Features Delivered Enabled
Report = New or modified, Oracle-delivered, ready to run reports.
UI or Process-Based: Small Scale = These UI or process-based features are typically comprised of minor field, validation, or program changes. Therefore, the potential impact to users is minimal.
UI or Process-Based: Larger Scale* = These UI or process-based features have more complex designs. Therefore, the potential impact to users is higher.
Features Delivered Disabled = Action is needed BEFORE these features can be used by END USERS. These features are delivered disabled and you choose if and when to enable them. For example, a) new or expanded BI subject areas need to first be incorporated into reports, b) Integration is required to utilize new web services, or c) features must be assigned to user roles before they can be accessed.

When you add deep links to reports or third-party application pages, users can simply click those links to go directly to the application pages they need to use, without any additional clicks or navigation. When a user clicks a deep link, that user's security assignment is honored; that is, users can access application pages only if they're assigned a job role that allows them access.
Steps to Enable
You can find all of the available deep links in the Deep Links work area. Some deep links, such as those assigned the NONE action, are ready to use as is. Other deep links, such as those assigned the EDIT action, require you to edit the link details before you can add the deep link to a report or third-party application page. Refer to the documentation listed in the Key Resources section for details and instructions.
Key Resources
For details about how to work with deep links, refer to these books on the Oracle Help Center:

Configure Tables and Graphs by Filtering Across Multiple Hierarchies in the Same Dimension
Oracle Supply Chain Planning Cloud enables you to analyze using multiple hierarchies within the same dimension. In some cases, when filtering across different hierarchies within the same dimension, you might want all the members that meet any of the hierarchy selections, while in other cases you might only want the members that meet all of the hierarchy selections. For example, you may have an item hierarchy that is based on product family, such as Tablets, and another one based on product category, such as Educational. Prior to this update, the result would be all items that were either in the Tablets product family or in the Educational product category. With this update, you can indicate whether to apply an AND condition (such as Tablets and Educational) or an OR condition (such as Tables or Educational) when filtering across multiple hierarchies within the same dimension.
Watch a Demo
Use the additional filtering capability to define more advanced conditions when filtering which members to display in graphs or tables enabling you to focus on the data that needs the most attention.
Steps to Enable
You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.
Tips And Considerations
In the Selector Tool, control whether member selections from different hierarchies of the same dimension should be treated as an OR or AND condition.
- Use the new Hierarchy View option in the Selected Members pane to view selected members in their respective hierarchies
- OR is the default - results include selected members regardless of whether they are members of all the selected hierarchies
- This option results in the the union of the selected members
- AND is used to filter selected members to only those members that belong to all of the selected hierarchies
- This option results in the intersection of the selected members

Activate Dynamic Links Between Analytics Automatically
Oracle Supply Chain Planning Cloud supports page layouts with dynamic links. Dynamic links allow destination tables or graphs to be automatically activated using the selection in the source planning analytic. Prior to this update, you needed to manually activate dynamic links when you opened the layout.
With this update, dynamic links for all destination analytics within a layout are activated as soon as you open it. You no longer have to manually prime the dynamic link to a table or graph by drilling from the source planning analytic.
The automatic activation of dynamic links improves the consistency of your data views and enhances your productivity.

Create New Product Combinations Using the Product Launch Process
If you introduce a new product that is significantly different from existing products, then history of the existing products may not be useful. However, the combinations of dimension values, such as item, organization, and customer site, may still be applicable for you to use when entering forecasts. With this release, you can use the existing new product introduction process to initialize the combinations of dimension values for a new product without copying data from an existing product.
Watch a Demo
Use the process to initialize combinations of dimension values to enter data for new product combinations with a minimum of effort.
Steps to Enable
You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.
Tips And Considerations
- You are now able to introduce a new product by simply specifying the associated organizations and customers without the need to copy historical demand from an existing product.
- You can now access Manage Product Launch directly from the Plan level Actions menu as an alternative to the existing table level access.
- You no longer need to select an item before launching the Manage Product Launch function.
- The organization and customer combinations that are available for the target product will be based on those that exist for the source product.
- When creating a new product launch, the launch date is defaulted to the current date plus 30 days instead of the current date. You can override the default for launch date.
- After the Manage Product Launch process completes, you can manually enter measure values, such as forecast overrides, for the new product. This work is possible without performing a plan run and without specifying any measures to be copied in the Manage Product Launch dialog.
- Measure values entered for the new product are preserved during future plan runs. These values are preserved even if the original Manage Product Launch entry is deleted.

Extract Collected and Simulation Set Data for Items Using REST Services
Oracle Supply Chain Planning Cloud 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 retrieve data for all items that have been collected or are in a simulation set using the child resource Items under the REST API resource Plan Inputs or Simulation Sets.
You can use this Items 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 Collected and Simulation Set Data for Items Using REST Services readiness training available on Oracle Cloud Readiness for Supply Chain Planning.

Maintain optimum inventory levels at each node of your supply chain to meet customer service targets at the lowest inventory cost. Use automated processes to maintain inventory policy parameters and improve customer service levels. These automated processes dynamically update the inventory to keep on hand and reduce costs by calculating the economic order quantity for replenishment when appropriate.
After you opt in to the feature named Replenishment Planning, you can use the feature described in this section.
Use Externally-Calculated Safety Stock Targets
Safety stock acts as a buffer to reduce risk of stockouts caused by uncertainties in demand, supply, and lead times. Safety stock values are used in computing the inventory policy values in Oracle Replenishment Planning Cloud. You may compute safety stock values in Oracle Replenishment Planning Cloud, or you may calculate them in another system.
With this update, you can upload the safety stock targets computed in a third-party application into replenishment planning using the Supply Chain Planning Safety Stock Levels file-based data import (FBDI) template and the FBDI process. Safety stock is uploaded as a static value in quantity units at the item location level.
Upload safety stock targets to reduce your need to enter them manually and align replenishment planning with other planning and execution systems.
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
When you opt in to use this feature, you must opt in to the feature named: Replenishment Planning. Opting in to the Replenishment Planning feature also enables the feature described here. If you previously opted in to the Replenishment Planning feature, then this feature is automatically enabled.
Additional tips and considerations:
- Replenishment Planning doesn’t support time phased safety stock. Although, you will be able to upload time-phased safety stock, the one which is effective on the plan start date will be used.
- The segment associated with the Item-Organization for which safety stock is being uploaded, should have policy UOM as Units. If the policy UOM is Days then the uploaded safety stock quantity will be ignored and safety stock will be calculated by replenishment planning.
- Use this feature only if you already have externally computed safety stock and don't want replenishment planning to compute safety stock.

Extract Collected Data and Manage Simulation Changes for Bills of Resources Using REST Services
You can use REST services to find, copy, and update bills of resources with the intent to override existing bill of resource quantities. The editable attributes of the bill of resource information include component and resource usage quantities and effective dates. You can edit the attributes using the child REST service Bill of Resources, a child of the Plan Inputs and Simulation Set Rest services.
A component or resource may also be added to augment an existing bill of resource. This addition may be needed because some components and resources in the bill of resource may have become critical due to supplier issues and work center changes.
The new REST service provisions for rapid updates of bill of resources records for new simulations to be performed directly in a sales and operations plan, analyze output stemming from these changes, and compare the resultant plan run with existing plans to study what-if impacts.

Configure Tables and Graphs by Filtering Across Multiple Hierarchies in the Same Dimension
Oracle Supply Chain Planning Cloud enables you to analyze using multiple hierarchies within the same dimension. In some cases, when filtering across different hierarchies within the same dimension, you might want all the members that meet any of the hierarchy selections, while in other cases you might only want the members that meet all of the hierarchy selections. For example, you may have an item hierarchy that is based on product family, such as Tablets, and another one based on product category, such as Educational. Prior to this update, the result would be all items that were either in the Tablets product family or in the Educational product category. With this update, you can indicate whether to apply an AND condition (such as Tablets and Educational) or an OR condition (such as Tables or Educational) when filtering across multiple hierarchies within the same dimension.

Extract Collected Data and Manage Simulation Changes for Supplier Capacities Using REST Services
Oracle Supply Chain Planning Cloud 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 retrieve data for all supplier capacities that have been collected or are in a simulation set using the child resource Supplier Capacities under the REST API resource Plan Inputs Supplier Items or Simulation Sets Supplier Items. Additionally, you can use the POST REST operation to add or change supplier capacity in the context of a simulation set, or you can use the DELETE REST operation to delete supplier capacity from a simulation set.
The Supplier Capacities POST operation will either insert or update supplier capacity within the simulation set based on the date range specified in the POST operation. Because the POST operation performs the necessary inserts or updates, there is no PATCH operation.
For example, let's assume simulation set A has the following supplier capacities defined:
| Simulation Set | Item | Supplier | Supplier Site | From Date | To Date | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SIM A | 123 | ABC | ABC, Dallas, TX | 1-Sept-2020 | 30-Sept-2020 | 300 |
| SIM A | 123 | ABC | ABC, Dallas, TX | 1-Oct-2020 | 31-Oct-2020 | 400 |
A POST operation is requested that contains the following information:
| Simulation Set | Item | Supplier | Supplier Site | From Date | To Date | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SIM A | 123 | ABC | ABC, Dallas, TX | 15-Sept-2020 | 15-Oct-2020 | 350 |
After the POST operation completes successfully the supplier capacities would be as follows:
| Simulation Set | Item | Supplier | Supplier Site | From Date | To Date | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SIM A | 123 | ABC | ABC, Dallas, TX | 1-Sept-2020 | 14-Sept-2020 | 300 |
| SIM A | 123 | ABC | ABC, Dallas, TX | 15-Sept-2020 | 15-Oct-2020 | 350 |
| SIM A | 123 | ABC | ABC, Dallas, TX | 16-Oct-2020 | 31-Oct-2020 | 400 |
In the preceding example, the existing supplier capacity rows had their date range adjusted so that it wouldn't overlap with newly posted supplier capacity.
You can use this Supplier Capacities REST service to simplify integrations and support standards-based interoperability with your other applications and external systems.

Configure Tables and Graphs Using Context-Sensitive Member Selection
When configuring tables and graphs, it’s efficient for you to have the list of values available for selection limited to those that are active based on the selections already made. For example, it you have already selected the organizations to analyze, then only the items valid for the selected organizations should be listed. Beginning with this update, Oracle Supply Chain Planning Cloud provides you with the ability to filter the members available for selection based on previous selections.
Filter Available Members by Selected Members
Watch a Demo
Use the additional, automated filtering to enhance your efficiency when configuring tables and graphs by filtering members based on the context of previous selections.
Steps to Enable
You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.
Tips And Considerations
The Configure Tables and Graphs Using Context-Sensitive Member Selection feature is automatically available on the Members Tab of the Selector. The selected members of one dimension, such as Product, can be used to filter the members of another dimension, such as Customer, to valid combinations by selecting the Filter Available Members by Selected Members check box.
The Configure Tables and Graphs Using Context-Sensitive Member Selection feature applies to only the following dimensions:
- Product
- Organization
- Customer
- Demand Class
- Sales Organization
- Segment Group
The Filter Available Members by Selected Members check box isn't selected by default.
When the check box is selected, the selection is saved as part of the configuration for the table or graph when the Save or Save and Close button is clicked.

Configure Tables and Graphs by Filtering Across Multiple Hierarchies in the Same Dimension
Oracle Supply Chain Planning Cloud enables you to analyze using multiple hierarchies within the same dimension. In some cases, when filtering across different hierarchies within the same dimension, you might want all the members that meet any of the hierarchy selections, while in other cases you might only want the members that meet all of the hierarchy selections. For example, you may have an item hierarchy that is based on product family, such as Tablets, and another one based on product category, such as Educational. Prior to this update, the result would be all items that were either in the Tablets product family or in the Educational product category. With this update, you can indicate whether to apply an AND condition (such as Tablets and Educational) or an OR condition (such as Tables or Educational) when filtering across multiple hierarchies within the same dimension.
Watch a Demo
Use the additional filtering capability to define more advanced conditions when filtering which members to display in graphs or tables enabling you to focus on the data that needs the most attention.
Steps to Enable
You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.
Tips And Considerations
In the Selector Tool, control whether member selections from different hierarchies of the same dimension should be treated as an OR or AND condition.
- Use the new Hierarchy View option in the Selected Members pane to view selected members in their respective hierarchies
- OR is the default - results include selected members regardless of whether they are members of all the selected hierarchies
- This option results in the the union of the selected members
- AND is used to filter selected members to only those members that belong to all of the selected hierarchies
- This option results in the intersection of the selected members

Extract Collected Data and Manage Simulation Changes for Supplier Capacities Using REST Services
Oracle Supply Chain Planning Cloud 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 retrieve data for all supplier capacities that have been collected or are in a simulation set using the child resource Supplier Capacities under the REST API resource Plan Inputs Supplier Items or Simulation Sets Supplier Items. Additionally, you can use the POST REST operation to add or change supplier capacity in the context of a simulation set, or you can use the DELETE REST operation to delete supplier capacity from a simulation set.
The Supplier Capacities POST operation will either insert or update supplier capacity within the simulation set based on the date range specified in the POST operation. Because the POST operation performs the necessary inserts or updates, there is no PATCH operation.
For example, let's assume simulation set A has the following supplier capacities defined:
| Simulation Set | Item | Supplier | Supplier Site | From Date | To Date | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SIM A | 123 | ABC | ABC, Dallas, TX | 1-Sept-2020 | 30-Sept-2020 | 300 |
| SIM A | 123 | ABC | ABC, Dallas, TX | 1-Oct-2020 | 31-Oct-2020 | 400 |
A POST operation is requested that contains the following information:
| Simulation Set | Item | Supplier | Supplier Site | From Date | To Date | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SIM A | 123 | ABC | ABC, Dallas, TX | 15-Sept-2020 | 15-Oct-2020 | 350 |
After the POST operation completes successfully the supplier capacities would be as follows:
| Simulation Set | Item | Supplier | Supplier Site | From Date | To Date | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SIM A | 123 | ABC | ABC, Dallas, TX | 1-Sept-2020 | 14-Sept-2020 | 300 |
| SIM A | 123 | ABC | ABC, Dallas, TX | 15-Sept-2020 | 15-Oct-2020 | 350 |
| SIM A | 123 | ABC | ABC, Dallas, TX | 16-Oct-2020 | 31-Oct-2020 | 400 |
In the preceding example, the existing supplier capacity rows had their date range adjusted so that it wouldn't overlap with newly posted supplier capacity.
You can use this Supplier Capacities 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.
Tips And Considerations
- You can only get supplier capacities from plan inputs. Inserts or updates to supplier capacities in plan inputs is not available.

Respect Reservation of Component Supply to a Work Order When Planning an Oracle Cloud Source System
In a variety of manufacturing situations, it’s typical to hard allocate component inventory to a particular work order to ensure supply for the work order manufacturing operations. With this update, you can reserve component inventory or inbound supply to a work order using Oracle Supply Chain Execution Cloud. Oracle Supply Planning Cloud will honor this reservation and ensure that this supply is not pegged to another demand.
With this update, reservation of a component supply to work order is respected for planning input data collected from Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud as well as provided through file-based data import.
Steps to Enable
You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.
Tips And Considerations
- With this update, reservation of a component supply to work order is now also respected for planning input data collected from Oracle Supply Chain Execution Cloud. Previously this respect of reservation was supported only for plans where planning input data was provided through file-based data import for external source systems.
