Feature/Ehnancement Description
The CAMT.053 Bank to Customer Statement messaging is used to inform account owners of
the entries booked in their bank account and to provide account owners with balance
information.
Additionally, the CAMT.053 Bank to customer Statement provides reporting of the post
settlement returns and reversals of the direct debit transactions.
CTO Full Cost Rollup program
CTO Alternate Routing Creation during Create/Update of configuration item based on the
values returned by custom hook CTO_CUSTOM_ROUTINGS_PK .
Golden Tax Adaptor now allows invoice lines to be split by unit price or quantity when the unit
price exceeds the maximum amount allowed for the VAT invoice.
The Automatic Cash Application improves accuracy and on-time application of cash receipts
with the introduction of two new methods for automatically applying cash receipts.
Transaction Tax Configuration Workbook provides users with a quick and efficient way to
implement and maintain frequently used tax configurations. The workbook allows users to
upload tax regimes, taxes, tax rates and tax rules.
In Release 12.2.5, gross margin accuracy has been enhanced by incorporating customer
rebates, vendor rebates and cost modifiers. The “accrual” Offers created in Oracle Channel
Revenue Management are applied as customer rebate or vendor rebate on a sales order line.
Cost modifiers are a mechanism for customers to increase/decrease the unit cost of the item
for purposes of gross margin calculation.
The subscription ordering feature introduced in Release 12.2 has been further enhanced to
provide the following new capabilities:
1. Subscription Contracts as Promotional Goods: In Release 12.2.5, customers will have the
ability to setup subscriptions contracts as free or discounted services that are automatically
added to the sales order based on adding a qualifying item to the sales order. .
2. Import Models/Kits with Included Items as Pre-Exploded
Currently, imported Models/Kits are exploded by Order Management to add included items as
child lines on the order.
In Release 12.2.5, customers can import pre-exploded included items from external system
with additional details like start and end dates on the included items of Models/Kits.
In Release 12.2.5, Oracle Logistics has enhanced the serial tagging functionality to “Sales
Order Pick” transactions where items with serial control as “none” and “at sales order issue”
can be assigned serial numbers in upstream process “sales order picking”.
Order Management has added following support for items with serial control as “none” and
“serial tagging” enabled at “sales order picking”:
• Extended the existing RMA functionality to enable the user to enter serial numbers for such
items
• Drop Ship orders for such items will be considered as serial controlled and the appropriate
serial number will be interfaced to Inventory from Order Management
Please note that for items with serial control as “none” or “at sales order issue” but having
“serial tagging” enabled at “sales order picking”, order lines with “Bill Only with Inventory
Interface” line type are not supported.
In Release 12.2.5, bulk processing of order lines in ATP process and parallel processing in
schedule orders program has been enabled resulting in significant performance improvements
in Scheduling in Order Management.
Currently, internal sales order lines can be split by the system during interface trip stop when a
delivery has been partially shipped.In Release 12.2.5, the seeded (and enabled) processing
constraint that prevents internal sales order lines from being split manually has been modified
to be a “non-System” constraint thereby giving customers the option to disable this constraint
in their implementation.
Currently, initial defaulting of revenue contingency attributes (Acceptance Name and Revenue
Recognition Expiration Days) is done based on seeded attributes in Order Management and on
changing any of these attributes re-defaulting occurs until the order line is booked.
In Release 12.2.5, two new attributes “Ship Method” and “FOB” has been added as seeded
attributes based on which revenue contingency attributes can be defaulted/re-defaulted.
In addition, re-defaulting of revenue contingency attributes is extended until the line is
fulfilled. Further, Acceptance Name and Revenue Recognition Expiration Days can be updated
manually as well until the line is fulfilled.
Currently, the Ship/Arrival set is assigned to the order lines only when the new line is created
if profile option “OM: Assign New Set For Each Line” is set to ‘Yes’ and Line Set is defined on
the order.
In Release 12.2.5, Order Management has extended the existing functionality to new lines
created during "split of existing line” and system will automatically assign ship/arrival set to
such new lines as well.
In addition, set operations like create set, assign set, delete set have been enabled on
shippable remnant lines of PTO Model/ Hybrid Model/Kit.
Currently, Oracle Purchasing creates a single purchase requisition for eligible drop ship lines
from the sales orders available in Purchasing Interface.
In Release 12.2.5, Order Management will populate an additional identifier (Order Header ID)
while inserting data into Purchasing Interface tables for Purchasing to create a purchase
requisition for drop ship lines of a single sales order only.
To enable this functionality, the value selected in the new system parameter “Group
Requisitions By Sales Order” should be “Yes”. Value “None” is the default option and retains
current functionality.
In Release 12.2.5, Order Management has extended the related item functionality (to up-
sell/cross-sell etc.) for sales order lines associated with Sales Agreements.
The customer Install Base functionality – which lets organizations to track only customer/party
related transactions on products - was introduced in Release 12.2.4.
Extending that option as a setup at the Item level is added as part of Release 12.2.5. With this
enhancement, you would be able to specify the preference for Install Base tracking at the
master item level. This provides more flexibility to use this feature based on an individual
item’s tracking needs.
Inventory serial tagging functionality is being extended to the Sales Order Pick transaction in
Release 12.2.5. This is applicable for non-Serial controlled Items and Serial control at Sales
Order Shipment items. Install base changes have been incorporated to support this feature for
IB tracked items as well.
Customers with very large option classes need a way to more efficiently model and update
these option classes when used in an Oracle Configurator model. With this release, a new rule
type, called Query-based Rules, is introduced to meet this need. With Query-based Rules
parameters established during runtime are used to query an external data source. The result
of the query is returned and used to create the valid configuration. Oracle Configurator
customers with very large option classes composed of frequently changing items, for example,
can leverage Query-based Rules to include a specific item in the configuration that had not
been previously defined in the model. This new rule type can provide customers with
increased flexibility in model design, reduce model size, and improve overall performance
A Batch can have multiple OSP steps that can be associated with the same or the different
supplier. This can help enable the customer to have various suppliers performing different
operation in the batch.
Navigation has been improved to be able to open the PO or PO details from the batch details
form (from Actions / tools >PO) for OSP batches.
Late notification of delays of OSP PO receipts to the supervisor/planner are highlighted as part
of Information Discovery
Manufacturers need to place a Batch on “Hold” to prevent further processing until the conflict
has been resolved. There are many events that can cause the need to place a Batch on “Hold”
including machine breakage, QC testing, Supervisor signature, late/insufficient material,
customer issues, engineering changes, etc. The solution provides a number of options when
placing a batch on “Hold”. With a new field, “Mode”, of the batch where the default would be
“Run” for normal operation of the batch and when it is needed this would be changed to
“Hold’. There are also different types of hold to reflect what functions can still be preformed
while a batch is being held.
Existing ‘Clock Out Multiple Jobs’ page is enhanced to provide a central place from where user
can clock in, clock out, undo clock in on discrete job operations. This page is entered from
Global Actions menu.
Further improving upon time reporting capabilities, operator work can now be captured at
resource level of granularity, down from operation level. Ability to clock in and out of a
resource is available from multiple screens including Dispatch list, Work Content and Search
Serial pages.
With Tablet Optimized MES screens, discrete manufacturing MES Supervisors can monitor
work in process and take quick actions on the go, as they move about the shop floor.
• View Work Order and Operation details. View work instruction attachments.
• Perform quick actions such as expedite, hold, release, unrelease, cancel and add notes
• View component & resource requirements and monitor currently open quantities.
• Manage production exceptions related to assembly, components, resources and quality
• Collaborate in transaction context using device features such as email, phone and text
Component Availability Management feature helps a production scheduler to take stock of
open component requirements of work orders (unreleased, released & on hold) at a point of
time by having the system order the jobs in a specified priority sequence and then allocating
components to the jobs starting with the top most priority one, using on-hand balances of the
components. The jobs are marked as either having all components available or having
component shortages.
Outsourcing to Internal Organizations, also referred, as Internal Toll Manufacturing is a
business practice where one organization of the company outsources some set of assemblies
to another affiliated company. In this process Organization acting as OEM Supply the

of this feature
This feature allows companies to track lot and/or Serial genealogy of the assemblies
outsourced to third-party or Internal Organizations. OEM organizations can view the
genealogy from OEM inventory genealogy screens.
Oracle Sourcing now allows supplier to provide multiple responses for an RFx (RFI, RFQs and
Auctions) document. The supplier can decide to either submit new active response or revise
their existing response. The buyer will be able to evaluate all the active responses side-by-side
even if they are from the same supplier. Each active response when fully or partially awarded
will result in a separate award document. This feature is also available for surrogate
responses. A control option in the controls page allows a Buyer to decide whether to accept
multiple active responses or not.
Buyers can now choose to allow a Supplier, when they are responding to a Negotiation, to
provide alternate lines for specific Negotiation lines. The supplier can specify if the Alternate
Lines are for an existing Negotiation line or for the Negotiation itself. They can specify one-to-
one, one-to-many and many-to-one relationships between these new Alternate lines and the
existing Negotiation lines. Buyers can review these lines within the response document and
evaluate them during their analysis. The Buyer can award the Alternate lines and also
determine if they are linked to any backing PR, thus allocating the appropriate fund source
from the PR line distributions, which would result in the appropriate PR split.
Sourcing Initiatives is a new feature that provides Sourcing Buyers and Procurement Managers
the ability to define, track and achieve strategic goals or objectives, by driving various tasks
across the organization through a simple but effective collaboration platform.
Oracle iProcurement allows catalog administrators to configure smart forms once and enable
them to be available to requesters in multiple operating units, or requesters having access to
specific responsibilities. If the Smart Form format is similar across multiple OUs, then it is no
longer required to create a Smart Form for each OU. Users can just create the Smart Form
once and assign it to multiple OUs, which would then share same template for the specific
information.
Oracle iProcurement now has the provision to save ‘one-time addresses for re-use later. Once
an address is saved, user has the option to pick one of these previously saved addresses or
create a new one when the user needs to enter a one-time address in Oracle iProcurement. A
provision is provided to manage the saved “one-time addresses” thru the iProcurement
Preference.
Oracle iProcurement now provides the Requestor a default Need-by Date at the time of
creating a requisition which is based on lead time derived either from the BPA lead time or
Item Lead time. This provides the Requester a reliable and realistic need by date for priority
shipping, which the user can change to one of their choice. Application provides a warning to
the Requestor if the selected Need-By Date is earlier than the System recommended one.
Oracle Purchasing supports outside processing in that it enables users to create, approve and
receive Outside Processing items that are then placed on requisitions and purchase orders
associated to the batches that are created in Oracle Process Manufacturing. Users can specify
or view outside processing batch related details in requisitions and also in purchase orders.
Oracle Supplier Lifecycle Management now provides the capability to create a touch less
automated end to end flow for assessments, eliminating the need for any manual intervention
to move an assessment from one phase to the next. This is possible for the following phases:
• Assessment Initiation
• Locking of Scores
• Assessment Completion
This would allow automatic creation of ‘Profile Audit’ and ‘Performance Evaluation’
assessments and take it to their completion without any manual intervention. It would also
allow the assessment creation from Purchasing i.e. if a Purchase Order should be followed
with a performance evaluation/ profile audit being carried out for the supplier.
An invitation lists is a list of Suppliers that can be attached to an assessment. Static Invitation
list cannot be modified implying that it does not allow for the additional of new Suppliers that
have been on-boarded or existing Suppliers to be removed. This resulted in a major usability
issue and severely limited the re-use of these lists.
However, with the latest release a new type of list called ‘Dynamic Invitation Lists’ has been
introduced. Unlike the Static Invitation List, a Dynamic one doesn’t store the names of the
Suppliers but the search criteria. Thus whenever they are used they provide the correct list of
Suppliers as the names of the Suppliers are queried at that instant from the existing set of
suppliers available in the system.
Sequential and Parallel Routing of the scoring of Suppliers allows one to determine the order
in which the various Scoring teams would be providing their scores. Whereas some teams
would be able to provide their scores at the same time (parallel), others would be able to do
so only after some initial assessments have been made. The parallel and sequential routing of
‘Scoring’ would be based on pre-defined conditions in Supplier Lifecycle Management. A
scenario where this would be of help would be if a Supplier should be rejected if they fail to
attain a minimum score in a certain section. If this happens for a particular Supplier then that
Supplier is rejected at that stage and no other teams are required to enter their scores, thus
eliminating unnecessary work.
Oracle SLM will now be able to provide the overall picture for a supplier as it would display
the aggregate scores at the supplier level, unlike before where the scores were aggregated
only at the response level.
An evaluator might want to update his evaluation after submission due to various reasons
such as to rectify a mistake, which was not possible so far. Now with this enhancement an
evaluator can update their response anytime during the assessment cycle. Furthermore, there
will be appropriate warnings given to the evaluator if he tries to update evaluation after the
scoring has been completed.
Oracle
In Release 12.2.5, ASCP provides planners the capability to maximize resource utilization when
the planning mode is “Constrained without Detailed Scheduling”. A new plan option
“Maximize Resource Utilization” (checkbox) is added to the Constraints tab in plan options.
Planners can check this plan option to activate this feature.
In Release 12.2.5, you can filter collected data by category sets for each instance. This
enhancement is available for Oracle Standard and Continuous Collections.
Complete Refresh – The Collections process removes all previously collected data and collects
only the category sets specified in the Category Sets window. As a result only the data for the
specified category sets are available for the planning process.
Targeted Refresh – The Collections process removes all previously collected data for all
category sets except for the category sets specified in the Category Sets window.
In Release 12.2.5, you can specify forecast processing options (Backward Days, Forward Days,
Spread Forecast Evenly, Consume by Forecast Bucket, and Explode Forecast) in the
Organizations tab of the Plan Options window at the organization and global demand
schedule levels, in addition to the plan level options specified in the Main tab.
Note – ASCP uses the plan level values specified for the forecast processing options if the
Demand Schedules region values are NULL. This rule is also applied to the Global Demand
Schedules. This means the “Demand Schedules” and “Global Demand Schedules” forecast
processing plan options have priority over the “Main Tab” plan options.
This feature is available for all ASCP panning modes.
You now have access to an all-new ADF-based planning work area called the Supply Planning
Work Area. This will allow you to access and analyze plans in a simple, browser based UI.
Starting with the 12.1.3.8 release, you could view orders via an ADF-based supplies and
demands UI. This UI provided a flat list of supply and demand orders but didn’t show how the
supplies and demands were related.
The Supplies and Demands view has been enhanced to include a pegging view in addition to
the existing flat table view. You can switch between supply pegging and demand pegging
views to show the relationships between supplies and demands.
In addition to the available pre-seeded table layouts, you can create your own custom table
layouts that define which supply and demand columns are visible and the order in which the
columns appear. This gives you the flexibility to have multiple layouts tailored to business
needs.
The new Supply Planning Work Area supports Personal Queries. You can use queries of
different types: Orders, Exceptions, Items, Resources and Suppliers. You can create new
Personal Queries or update existing Personal Queries using a new ADF setup UI. All previously
existing Personal Queries will be migrated to the new ADF UI.
You can define a new type of Personal Query called Metrics. These queries are primarily for
analytics, and support viewing Plan Summary key performance indicators in graphical format
(line or bar graphs). You can create multiple metrics using different key measures. Each metric
can be viewed in an Infotile format (with graphs arranged in a tiled view with associated
detailed content graphs beneath) or standard format (with graphs arranged in a grid view).
You can use ASCP from within a new Supply Planning Work Area built using the Alta UI
framework. From within this work area, you can access the new ASCP Plan Options screen.
Within the Supply Planning Work Area, you can define “Favorite” exceptions by specifying
suitable filter conditions for the types of exceptions that you want to review and the items,
resources, customers, suppliers etc. that you want to include as part of reviewing these
exception types. You can also specify group by criteria for viewing a summary of these
exceptions. While reviewing a summary of your favorite exceptions, you can drill down
directly to the various Supply Planning Work Area screens such as Material Plan, Resource
Plan, Supplies and Demands and additionally also drill down to review the Exception Details in
a new Exceptions screen that is also available in the Supply Planning Work area.
Companies that operate in a project manufacturing environment have specialized planning
needs in the supply planning process such as the ability to hard peg supplies to demands and
the ability to control the use of common, non-project specific supplies in satisfying project
demand. Currently, ASCP offers planners two netting choices, controlled by the profile option
MSC: Use Attribute Based Netting. These two netting options each offer planners a set of
specialized netting features. When the profile option is set to Yes, you have the ability to apply
order modifiers in the supply creation process when satisfying project demands. When the
profile option is set to No, you have the ability to use Common supplies to satisfy project
demand. However, those who have the need to both use order modifiers and common
supplies do not have a clear solution path and have to choose between one of the two
options.
Many companies create supply to demand reservations in their ERP system to represent a
hard linkage between a specific supply and a customer order. This hard linkage is often driven
by the need to capture product or manufacturing characteristics that are required to fulfill the
needs of a customer sales order. Examples include customer specific labeling requirements,
changes requested by the customer to the standard alloy content of the steel being ordered,
specialized packaging requirements, and so on. It is important that the planning system (ASCP)
respects the supply to demand reservations created in the ERP system. This ensures that
decisions made by order takers / manufacturing supervisors to “peg” specific work orders /
process batches or on hand inventory lots to specific customer demands is not ignored during
the planning process
In this release, ASCP provides the capability to respect reservations. This feature is available
with the planning mode of “Constrained without Detailed Scheduling”.
You can optionally release the Firm Flag from ASCP to Oracle Purchasing for purchase orders.
A new profile option called “MSC: Release PO Firm Flag to Purchasing” enables this
functionality.
You can use a new profile option called “MSC: Remove Promise Date for Rescheduled
Purchase Orders” to set Promise Date to “NULL” in the Purchasing source for all rescheduled
purchase orders. This profile option can be set to Yes or No (Default). By setting this profile
option to Yes and monitoring the Promise Date field in the Planner Workbench, you can
determine whether a supplier has committed to a newly rescheduled purchase order or not.
