Patch Value Proposition 1

Proposed Scope of the Support Release of Retail Merchandising System
(RMS)
Functional Enhancement(s)
The following functional enhancements are included in this patch:

Defect Number Summary

ER 14607858 Item costing information is mandatory in Simple Value Added Tax

(SVAT) environment.
The following changes have been made to Item Setup Process , to
simplify item setup process for SVAT customers:
• There is no need to enter any item costing information
during Item Setup process
• Item Costing information has been defaulted from
information provided during Item Setup process
• The Item Costing form has been made invisible
• The Pack Setup process has been simplified to ensure you
need not come back to item master to define pack
components before completing item/supplier/country
setup
• You can define different cost for child items using Item
Children Diff form during Item Setup process

ER 13811312 New duty HTS.DUTY_COMP_CODE does not drive any

functionality.
The following changes have been made as a part of Harmonized
Tariff Schedule (HTS) functionality:
• Addition of Min/Max Computation Value Base (CVB)
calculation
o Add a flag in the CVB header for Min/Max CVB
calculation
o The following limitations are in-place for the new
calculation:
 No User Interface (screens) at this point
(as CVB is more of a one-time setup with
only 2 tables)
 Only the CVB Detail calculation, not the
Flags calculation
 Only supported for Assessments, not
Expenses.
• Configurable HTS Duty/Tax/Fee calculation
o Currently Duty/Tax/Fee calculations are based
on a limited set of “Computation codes”
('0','1','2','3','4','5','6','C','D','E') which are primarily
used in US Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS)
o Base functionality has been added to support the
US HTS Duty Code K and J
o Currently Supported computations are based on

2 Oracle Retail Merchandise Operations Management (MOM)

 the US HTS requirements; adding new
computations for global HTS requires code
customizations
o A new table-based (driven from
HTS_COMPUTATION) configurable HTS
computation has been added
 Configuration can be set up per import
country
 Each computation can have several
associated Estimated Landed Cost (ELC)
components
 Each component has been associated
CVB, Calculation Basis (Specific or Value),
Rate (Specific, Ad Valorem, Other), Units
 Complex calculations can be implemented
by setting up several cost
components/CVB for the computation
• Specific calculation with CVB
o Currently Specific calculation can only be used
for a simple rate x unit calculation
o Adding support for specific calculation with CVB
 Calculation will be rate * units * value of
CVB
 This can be used to implement percentage
calculations. For example, rate * volume
of liquor * %alcohol content

ER 14761480 Truck splitting is not working for a specific supplier

• The truck will be balanced as much as possible with the
items on the order. The code aims to achieve the scenario
where items will be evenly distributed across trucks so
that each truck has the same (or almost the same) quantity
of every item on the original order placed when balanced
assortment method is used for truck splitting

Integration Enhancement(s)
The 13.2.6 release introduces the Oracle Retail Financial Integration Pack to facilitate the
integration between applicable Oracle Retail products and the E-Business Suite (EBS). For
more information, see the following document on My Oracle Support: Oracle Retail Financial
Integration Pack, Release Value Proposition for Release 13.2.6 (Doc ID 1555998.1).

The following integration enhancements are also included in this patch:

Defect Number Summary

ER 15932359 (RMS- Currently the receiver cost adjustment (RCA) allows you to change
ReIM integration) the cost for the matched receipt without any error. It updates the
order cost and does not update the receipt and average cost. It also
does not write any tran_data records. This causes a discrepancy in
terms of financial accounting. This enhancement allows you to
choose to adjust the matched receipt or not. If you choose to adjust

Patch Value Proposition 3

 the matched receipt, the debit/credit amount corresponding to the
adjusted cost will be posted to ReIM.

ER 14748679 – RWMS adjusting quantities against unexpected containers and

(RMS-RWMS unexpected items not flowing down to RMS
Integration • Currently for any item received as part of shipment at
WH, any adjustments done to the container through
container checking process when sent to RMS with a new
carton ID, will be rejected with ‘carton not found’ error
and this result in inventory discrepancy between RMS and
WMS.
• Also for any unexpected items received against a
shipment for transfers, expected/ship quantity is set to
receive quantity and the item is treated as if it is originally
shipped from the sending location. The inventory
treatment in such scenarios is not considered and financial
postings are done as if item is actually shipped.
• This ER 14748679 intends to process adjustments rather
than rejecting them as well as treat unexpected item
according to inventory treatment_type and do financial
postings accordingly.
• This approach is to allow unexpected carton receipt
adjustment treating it as an overage with relevant
financial postings.
• Also, unexpected item receipt adjustment (only positive
quantity allowed) will be treated as an overage and
appropriate inventory treatment and financial postings are
done.
