Oracle Trading Community Architecture (TCA) is a data model that allows you to manage
complex information about the parties, or customers, who belong to your commercial community, including organizations, locations, and the network of hierarchical relationships among them

Customer Model Overview

What is Trading Community Architecture (TCA)?

TCA is designed to encapsulate all members of a trading

community.

A trading community may include customers, prospects,

suppliers, distributors, resellers, consortiums, etc.

TCA not only allows for the tracking of relationships

between the implementing organization and its trading partners, but also tracks relationships between the trading partners themselves.

Trading Community Architecture

The Party Concept
The concept of Party enables the Customer Model to treat all

business entities equally, regardless of type. It easily handles B2B, B2C. Parties of type Group allow for the grouping of any number of other parties into a single entity which enable modeling of households and buying consortiums.

Parties of type Relationship allow for the relationship between two parties to be viewed as a party in its own right.

The Customer Entity Data Model - Party Entity

Party - A Party is an entity that can enter into a business relationship and can be of four types.

Person - A unique individual (dead or alive) of interest to the owner of the

software.
Organization - A legal entity recognized by some government authority. Group - a combination of two or more people, organizations or groups of created for the use of the owner of the software. Relationship - The association between an individual person and an organization. Usually a contact at an organization or group.

The Customer Entity Data Model - Customer Account Entity

Account - Is a financial roll-up point to track the monitory portion of a customers purchases and payments. Stores details about a customer relationship between a Party and your business. A Party may have one or more Customer Accounts.

Account Role - The relationship that a Party has in regard to controlling or using an account. Customer Account Site is a Party Site that is used within the context of a Customer Account (e.g., for billing or shipping purposes). A Customer Account Contact is a Party Contact that is used in the context of a Customer Account.

Customer As a party to a contract, the customer is responsible for oversight of the contract, payments and any agreed-to obligations with the contractor. The organization which is in the process of placing an order with the company. Creating Order The following information is to be provided while entering an order: Order details Customer information Item information at line level Booking an Order In Order Management, booking is workflow enabled. The application comes seeded with two types of Booking processes: Manual Booking Process Deferred Booking Process Pick Release An order cycle action to notify warehouse personnel that orders are ready for picking. Pick Confirm Executes the sub-inventory transfer that moves the material from its source location in the warehouse to the staging location.

Ship Confirm
To enter shipped quantity and inventory controls for specific shippable lines. You can ship confirm the same delivery/departure repeatedly until you close the delivery/departure. Once it is closed, no more changes can be made into a delivery/departure.

Interface Trip Stop

Updates the quantity in inventory. It runs two interface programs Inventory interface Order management interface program

Invoicing
The Invoicing workflow activity transfers shipped item information including quantities, selling prices, payment terms, and transaction dates to Oracle Receivables, which processes invoices and accounts for revenue.

Processing Constraints

Processing constraints define whether change is allowed to an order after certain activities have been completed as well as level of responsibility required to make change. Processing constraints evaluate for an entity you try to cancel ,delete, insert, split or update. Navigation: Set up : Rules : Security : Processing Constraints

Defaulting Rules
Defaulting rules enable field values on forms to populate automatically. You can setup your defaulting rules which allow you to default columns in the same way as for orders entered on-line. You can pass the column value Null to Order Import if you want the defaulting rules to populate the column. However, if the column is defined as Not Null or Mandatory column and the defaulting rules fail to default the column,

Default price list Defaulting rules Order lines Return lines Line types Workflow assignments Payment terms Freight terms.

Prerequisites
Define organizations. Define document sequences. Define defaulting rules. Define price lists. Define credit check rules Define currencies and currency types. Set up your cost of goods sold account flex field segments

Price Lists:
Pricelists are essential to ordering products because each item entered on an order must have a price. Each price list contains basic list information like price list name, effective dates, currency, pricing controls, rounding factor, shipping defaults such as freight terms and freight carrier, and one or more pricing lines, pricing attributes. STEPS FOR PRICING AN ORDER Create a price list (one time) This includes creation of price list headers and lines (which associates items to a particular price) Create pricing formulas (optional) Create price list modifiers/qualifiers (optional) Create an order. Attach the price list to that order.

You can define the following types of prices on price lists:

Unit price: A fixed price. Percent Price: A price (only for a service item) which is a percent of the price of another item. Formula: Multiple pricing entities and constant values related by arithmetic operators. For example, you define the price of an item to be a percentage price of another price list line.

Defining Pricelist

Extended: The rounding factor defaults to the currency's extended precision value. The pricing engine rounds the base price and all discount amounts before using them in calculations. Active checkbox (Activates the Pricelist)

Global checkbox - Global box is selected when the Pricing Security Control profile option is set to ON. - This means that the price list can be used by all operating units for pricing transactions. - If cleared, the price list's use is restricted to the operating unit of the user creating the price list. Mobile Download checkbox - If you are using an Oracle Mobile application and want to download specific price lists onto a mobile device such as a laptop computer. - The default value is No.

List Lines Tab

Product Context (Default value: Item) Product Attribute (Select product attribute for the Item as Item Number or Item Category or All Items) Product Value (Value for the Product Attribute selected) UOM (Unit Of Measure) - Defaults from the item master of the validation organization and it can changed to any valid unit of measure for that item. - The primary pricing unit of measure for the item can be selected by enabling the Primary UOM checkbox.

Line Types - Price Header: To set up price breaks for the item - Price List Line: To enter a base list price for the item. If Price Break Header is been selected as Line Type, select the Price Type has the options: - Point: The pricing engine charges each unit of volume at the price of the within which the total falls. - Range: The pricing engine charges each unit of volume at the price of the within which it falls.

List Lines Tab

Application Method: - Unit Price: Defines the price for inventory items and item categories - Block Price: This method is enabled only if Price Header is selected as the Line Type. This will define the price for the entire set of a block. Value: Base list price of the item - If Price Break Header is selected as the Line Type, you cannot enter the Value (price) at the list line level. Instead, click Price Breaks to enter price ranges.

Secondary Price List tab

Secondary Pricelist - If the item you are ordering is not in the primary price list, the pricing engine looks for the price on any attached secondary price list. - There can be more than one Secondary pricelist specified for a Pricelist. Precedence - If the item is found, the pricing engine uses the highest precedence secondary price list (the secondary price list with the lowest value in the Precedence field).

Price Breaks

Defining Price Breaks

Price breaks or "bracket pricing" can be used to define prices that vary with the quantity ordered. Price Breaks Type Point Break Defines prices based on the price bracket in which the total quantity falls. Range Break Defines prices based on the ranges of the defined price breaks. For each range, the engine calculates a price and sums across all ranges to obtain the list price.

Price Breaks window setup

In Price Lists window, Line Type: Price Break Header Application Method: Unit Price or Block Price

Price Breaks with Unit Pricing

Point Break If you ordered 16 units then the total quantity falls into the Price 2 bracket where the unit price is Rs.45. The total price is calculated as follows: Total price = 16 * Rs.45 each = Rs.72
Range Break If you ordered 16 units of Item A11111, the unit price from each price (Price Breaks 1 and 2) is applied as follows: Price 1: For first 11 units * Rs.50 each (unit price from Price 1) = Rs.550 Price 2: Remaining 5 units * Rs.45 each (unit price from Price 2) = Rs.225 Total price = Rs.550 + Rs.225 = Rs.775

Price Breaks with Block Pricing Block pricing enables you to apply a lumpsum price rather than a per unit price to a pricing line. It provides setup flexibility where the UOM of the header is different from the pricing attributes of each child line. Block pricing also allows pricing setups that price by recurring values within blocks.
Price Break 1 2 Pricing Context Volume Volume Pricing Attribute Item Quantity Item Quantity Value From - To 1 1200 1201 2000 Price (Rs.) 100 50 Application Method Block Price Block Price Recurring Value 100 20

If you order 1500 units then Block Pricing without Recurring Value Block Price 1: For first 1200 units = Rs.100 Block Price 2: For remaining 500 units = Rs.50 Total price = Rs.100 + Rs.50 = Rs.150 Block Pricing with Recurring Value Block Price 1: For first 1200 units = 1200/100 * Rs.100 = Rs.1200 Block Price 2: For remaining 500 units = 500/20 * Rs.50 = Rs.1250 Total price = Rs.1200 + Rs.1250 = Rs.2450

Pricing Attributes

Defining Pricing Attributes

Pricing Context and Pricing Attribute are selected based on the Product selected in the List Lines tab. Operator: This can have values = or NOT = or BETWEEN Value From To: Value To can have values only when Operator is selected as BETWEEN There can be more than one Pricing Attribute defined for a List Line and are joined as AND conditions since they apply to one Price List Line.

Price List Qualifiers/Modifiers

Price List Qualifiers/Modifiers Modifiers enable you to setup price adjustments (for example, discounts and surcharges) and freight and special charges (modifier lists) that the pricing engine applies immediately to pricing requests. Using modifiers you can: Setup a modifier list with multiple modifier lines Create eligibility rules for modifiers by assigning list and line level qualifiers Qualifiers help the pricing engine to determine who is eligible for the modifier.

Modifiers enable you to setup price adjustments (for example, discounts and surcharges) and freight and special charges that the pricing engine applies immediately to pricing requests or accrues for later disbursement. Using modifiers, you can: Setup a modifier list with multiple modifier lines Create eligibility rules for modifiers by assigning list and line level qualifiers

Modifier List Types Using modifier lists, you can create groupings of price adjustments, and freight and special charges that you offer and report together to meet various business needs. At the list level, you define criteria that is common to all of the line level modifiers. You can use the following list types: Deal Discount List Freight and Special charge List Promotion Surcharge List

Modifier Type: Select the modifier type as Deal, Discount List,Freight and Special charge List Promotion or Surcharge List List Number : Give the list number Active: The pricing engine evaluates the modifier only if the Active box is selected. Global:

Modifier list can be used by all operating units for pricing transactions

Automatic
Pricing engine automatically applies the modifier. If cleared, then the modifier is considered a "manual" modifier and the adjustment must be applied manually rather than automatically.

Currency:
The pricing engine applies modifiers to sales orders of the same currency.

Qualifiers You can create qualifiers to determine the eligibility of who can receive modifiers at the list level. If an order is not eligible for a modifier list, it is not eligible for that list's line level modifiers even if the lines have qualifiers for which the order is eligible. Modifier list level qualifiers help the pricing engine to determine who is eligible for the modifier lines. If an order is not eligible for a modifier list, it is not eligible for that lists line level modifiers even if the lines have qualifiers for which the order is eligible.

There are 2 types of Qualifiers Header Level Qualifiers Line Level Qualifiers

O2C42 - EFSS to WMS Sales Orders with Modifiers and Tax

O2C42 interface - Data exchanges between the EFSS Oracle system and the different Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) within the local markets. Extracting the data from specific tables and fields within the EFSS system Creation of standard Extract tables for processing by the local markets Transfer and processing of data through e-Gate Error handling of rejected data from Oracle

O2C22 Shipment Confirmation From WMS To EFSS

The interface will be required to send details of all inventory movements recorded in the local WSM system to the EFSS system so as to maintain a synchronized view of inventory balances across the systems. The interface will address the following: Import of the data into Oracle Error handling of rejected data from Oracle

Program Logic :
This program takes all the lines with status NEW of the staging table. With each line, it will be made some lookups to retrieve some information that will be used by the APIs. After, it compares the delivered quantity with the quantity or the deliver order. If its different, the line is split. After the movement order is created and confirmed. If the WMS reference is given, the name of the delivery must be changed. If there is any change in the delivery detail, it will be changed, and at the end, the shipment is confirmed.
