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.

• View Supply Order Exceptions and Status (DOS_VIEW_SUPPLY_ORDER_EXCEPTIONS_AND_STATUS_PRIV)

No new privileges were introduced to support this feature.

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.

Position Hierarchy Routing Delegates to Other Users Based on Vacation Rules

When users go on vacation, they can define vacation rules so that when they’re out of office, tasks can be reassigned, delegated, or have additional assignments. If you’re using a Position list builder to route workflow tasks, when a user with a position that’s been assigned a task has an active vacation rule, the rule takes effect as long as there are five or less users in that position. Tasks assigned to a position can’t be reassigned or delegated, so the user defined in the vacation rule is assigned the task in addition to the other users in that position.

Position-based assignments are added according to vacation rules.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

This feature is specific to vacation rules, and may not work in other contexts. For example, using the Transaction Console work area to reassign tasks based on the Position list builder isn't supported.

Key Resources

• Define Vacation and Other Rules for Workflow Tasks Assigned to Me

Self Service Procurement

Self Service Procurement

Selected Self Service Procurement Bug Fixes in This Update

This update includes some bug fixes that can change the way Oracle  Self Service Procurement 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.

Enhanced Additional Information for Project Task in Approvals Configuration

Before update 23D, the Task LOV, under the Requisition Distribution dimension in the Conditions region of the Edit Approval Rules UI, only displayed the project task name and the task description in the Additional Information column. But, the task name isn't unique and description is optional, which makes it difficult for you to select the right task for the approvals condition. In this update, the Additional Information column in the Task LOV is enhanced to display the project name, task number, and task description separated by a comma.

Oracle reference: 35480675

Allow Display and Edit of Manufacturer Details only for Goods based Requisitions in Smart Forms and Non Catalog Requests

Before update 23D, requesters could view and edit the Manufacturer and Manufacturer Part Number for service-related Noncatalog and Smart Form requests. With this release, you can view and edit manufacturer and manufacturer part number details only for requisitions that use Line Type of Goods in the Responsive Self Service Procurement application. For requisitions that use a line type other than Goods, even if the smart form has this information configured, it won't be available for use when creating requisitions.

Oracle reference: 35578392, 35526790

Steps to Enable

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

Responsive Self Service Procurement Application

Create Requisitions for Inventory Destinations

You can now use the Responsive Self Service application to create Inventory destination type requisitions. Using this feature, you can:

• Specify Inventory as the default value in your user preferences.
• Specify Inventory and subinventory for a specific requisition line or for all items in the cart.

Prior to this release, you could only create requisitions for Expense destination types.

Offering: Procurement

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the Manage Standard Lookups task.

2. Search for the ORA_POR_AUTO_REJECT_REASON lookup type.

3. Add a new lookup code here. The lookup code is the name of the rule resulting in automatic rejections, and the lookup description serves as the functional reason for rejection.

Set Up Functional Reasons for Autorejection Rules

Tips And Considerations

• The lookup code has a limit of 30 characters to define a rejection reason for the autorejection rule.

• Rule names can't have spaces and non-alphanumeric characters.

• You must rename the existing autorejection rules to add functional reasons to them.

• When no description is provided corresponding to a lookup code configured for an autorejection rule, the rule name will be displayed as the rejection reason.

• Manage Approval Task (POR_MANAGE_APPROVAL_TASK_PRIV)

Enforce Requester-Provided Description for Requisitions

You can now ensure requesters provide a description for a requisition in the Responsive Self Service Procurement application. Before this update, the description from the first item added to the requisition was used as the description for the requisition unless modified by the requester. The description will no longer be automatically filled when you opt in to this feature. This feature is useful for businesses requiring their requesters to enter descriptions in their own format or based on prescribed formats.

When this feature is enabled, requesters must enter the description manually by editing the requisition from the Cart page. 

These screen captures illustrate the feature.

Edit Requisition to Add Description

The description, when available, is displayed in the requisition summary.

Here's a list of features:

• View Order: View Order action is now available at the line level. It is displayed if the line is processed into a purchase order and you have the required privileges. You can use this to view the purchase order details in the Oracle Fusion Cloud Application. You can also navigate to the view order page using the Purchase Order link.

View Order for a Line

• Edit: You can now use the header level Edit action to create a change order on a purchase order if all the lines on the requisition are placed on a single purchase order based on your privileges.

You can make the desired changes on the Change Order pages. You can update Delivery, Project costing, and Charge account details using the edit icons on the change order. Using the back button, you can return to the My Requisitions page while retaining the draft change order. If a draft is not submitted, the link text on the lines in My Requisitions is modified to include the indicative text "Change order pending submission".

Change Order Creation

You can continue making edits before submission. On submission of the change order, you will see a confirmation, and the indicative text shows “Change order pending approval”.

Change Order Submission Confirmation

This indicative text is automatically removed when the change order is implemented or canceled. It changes to “Change order pending submission” if the change order is rejected or withdrawn.

In addition to the above enhancements, the Edit action is now introduced at the line level, allowing the editing of a requisition or creating a change order if the line has an associated purchase order.

• Cancel: Before this update, you could only cancel the individual requisition lines that weren’t placed on either a purchase or transfer order. In this update, you can use the requisition header level cancel action to cancel the eligible requisition lines or the associated order lines.

Cancel a Requisition

When you cancel a requisition:

• The eligible requisition lines that aren’t placed on an order will be canceled.

• If the lines are placed on a transfer order, then the transfer order lines will be canceled.

• If the lines are placed on a purchase order, then a cancellation request will be submitted through a change order. You can track this request through the status badge. The badge will show Cancellation pending status when the change order is pending approval.

Cancellation Request Submitted

After the change order is implemented, the status will be shown as Order canceled if the entire quantity is canceled. If the items are partially shipped, the quantity will be reduced to the shipped quantity on the order lines, and the badge will show the latest life cycle status (For example, Shipped or Delivered).

In addition, line-level cancel action is enhanced to allow cancellation after the requisition line is placed on an order.

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.

IMPORTANT Actions and Considerations

Replaced and Removed Features

From time to time, Oracle replaces existing Cloud service features with new features, or removes existing features. Replaced features may be put on a path to removal. As a best practice, you should use the newer version of a replaced feature as soon as the newer version is available.

This section identifies the feature in this Cloud service that will be removed or replaced.
