Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document 1
2. Introduction
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document 2
3. New and Changed Features in Logistics
With Oracle Inventory Management, you can improve inventory visibility, reduce
inventory levels and control inventory operations. All of your material in each line of
business and stage of the inventory lifecycle can be tracked in a single system. Increased
transparency will reduce the need for local buffer stocks, and inventory will be located
where it previously was not known to exist.
Oracle Inventory Management is part of the Oracle Logistics solution and integrates
seamlessly with other Supply Chain Management applications, including Oracle
Warehouse Management, Oracle Order Management, Oracle Procurement, Oracle
Discrete Manufacturing, Oracle Process Manufacturing, and Oracle Financials.
Release 12.1.1
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document 3
level node in the tree structure. This enables the user to refresh the tree with a
different top-level node without being forced to go back to the query window.
• View more levels of detail in the left-side navigator window, where lot branches
are expanded, before having to scroll horizontally.
Release 12.1.2
Release 12.2
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document 4
3.1.4.2. Serial Number Assignment Enhancements
In addition to the ability to defer serial number instantiation until ship confirmation
(sales order issue), Release 12.2 of Oracle Inventory Management now enables you to
receive and transfer inventory without assigning a serial number and to defer the serial
number assignment to later in the materials management process at the following issue
transactions:
• WIP Component Issue and WIP Component Receipt
• Field Service Issue and Field Service Recovery
• Return to Vendor
These serial numbers are tracked in the serial genealogy. This functionality works in
conjunction with the Serial Number Control Settings at Sales Order Issue and No (serial)
Control. However, if the user chooses Serial Number Control “At Receipt” for an item,
then serial numbers must be tracked for all material receipts for that item.
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document 5
3.1.4.6. Distributed Warehouse Management Integration
As the number of customers on Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 has grown, so too
has the demand to provide integrations between E-Business Suite Release 12 and Oracle
Warehouse Management for those customers who choose to implement their Oracle
Warehouse Management on a separate instance. To better support this deployment
methodology, the distributed Oracle Warehouse Management integration with Oracle E-
Business Suite provides a starter kit for integration between a distributed Oracle
Warehouse Management instance and an E-Business Suite Release 11.5.10, Release
12.1, or Release 12.2 instance.
Release 12.2.3
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document 6
Inventory Management provides a public Physical Inventory API for updating existing
physical tag records and their corresponding adjustment records.
Release 12.2.4
Release 12.2.5
The ability to defer serial number assignments has been enhanced. The system can now
be configured to capture item serial numbers during picking, even for items which are
not serial controlled. This enables you to reduce the overhead of tracking serial numbers
immediately after the item is received into the warehouse. With this new feature, users
are no longer required to capture serial numbers while moving material within the
warehouse, and are only required to enter serial numbers when the item is picked to
move to the staging lane for shipping.
In prior releases, items could be set as serial controlled at Sales Order Issue, in which
case the serials could be captured only after the items had moved to the staging lane. It
may not be feasible or convenient to capture serial numbers for staged material if it is
packed into LPNs or wrapped while dropping into the staging lanes.
With this feature, users can enable serial tagging for sales order pick, internal order pick,
or both. This expedites the downstream shipment process by reducing the burden on the
shipping operator.
This feature is now supported in Oracle Warehouse Management and Oracle Process
Manufacturing-enabled organizations.
Sometimes there is a need to return the material back to consigned inventory even after
it has been consumed and a consumption advice or an invoice has been generated for it.
The Consignment Returns After Consumption enhancement gives the user the flexibility
to return the consumed material to consigned inventory at any point, and automatically
performs the required financial accounting. A new form function parameter,
CONS_INV_RTN_DAYS, determines how far in the past the consumed material may
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document 7
be returned. A corresponding debit memo can be generated automatically if the Auto
Create Debit Memo for RTS parameter is enabled in the Supplier Site setup.
With a new HTML user interface for Receiving, inventory users can manage inbound
receipts against purchase orders, requisitions, advanced shipment notices (ASNs) etc.
Using this feature, warehouses can immediately realize the following benefits:
Release 12.2.6
3.1.8.1. Receiving HTML User Interface Enhancements for Lot and Serial Items
Now users can choose directed receipt action to receive lot and serial controlled items
against any supported document (purchase order, requisition, advanced shipment notice,
RMA, and so on). The new user interface is designed for tablets, but can be used
effectively on desktops and laptops as well.
The new simplified user interface for Shipping Operations provides a comprehensive
suite of tools to manage shipments for a warehouse or distribution center. This user
interface is designed for a tablets, but can be used on desktops and laptops as well. It has
informational tiles on the landing page, which provide simple summary and drilldown
capabilities for daily operations. Security and access are controlled by the Roles and
Grants setup for the user, under the Shipping responsibility.
The new simplified user interface for reservations provides a simplified user experience
to transfer, update, or delete existing reservations. The new user interface includes the
following features:
• Query reservations associated with customer sales orders and internal sales
orders.
• Update the supply and demand components of reservations.
• Transfer either the supply or the demand components of reservations from one
source to another.
Many businesses must capture product specific information such as country of origin or
packaging code, and print it on the packing slip prior to shipping. To address such
requirements, Oracle Inventory Management now enables you to set up material
classification codes and tag the material during picking or shipping.
Material classification tagging is set up in the item master at the organization level and
can be enabled for the following inventory transactions types:
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document 8
• Sales order pick
• Internal order pick
• Sales order issue
• Internal order issue
Once tagging is enabled for an item in an organization, the system will prompt for the
Material Classification code when transacting the move orders or picking using a mobile
device. The user will be able to capture (or update) the classification code from the
Shipping Transactions window or from the new Shipping Operations user interface.
Material Classification tagging can be enabled only if the item is not serial controlled.
Once enabled, the Material Classification value is available for use in the Packing Slip
report.
Release 12.2.7
• The solution is mobile friendly and can be accessed from a tablet. This enables
warehouse users to perform actions on the go as they move through the
warehouse.
• The solution can be personalized to cater to different lines of business -
Warehouse Management, Project Manufacturing, Maintenance, and Field
Service.
• A modern faceted search and browsing approach is followed that makes it easier
for users to locate material with reduced key clicks.
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document 9
3.1.9.3. Receiving HTML User Interface Enhancement for Returns
This new feature adds returns processing to the Receiving HTML user interface. The
added functionality is the same as the returns processing available in the traditional
forms interface.
Infotiles have seeded queries to fetch the eligible documents automatically without the
user explicitly querying. For example, the ‘Rejected’ infotile will fetch all the
documents that have failed inspection; ‘Returned to Receiving’ will fetch all the
documents that have been returned to receiving from inventory; and ‘Today’s Receipts’
will fetch all receipts performed today.

Release 12.2.8
3.1.10.1. Create Move Orders from Material Workbench HTML User Interface
The HTML Material Workbench was first released in12.2.7 and included the ability to
perform Mass Issues. The 12.2.8 release provides the ability to perform Mass Moves.
In both of these scenarios, a Move Order is created behind the scenes. These two
features will now be able to open up the Move Order in the new HTML Move Order
user interface.

First release of the inspection functionality was limited to regular (Non-Warehouse
Management (WM)) receipts and WM receipts for loose material only. This
enhancement extends inspection support to all WM receipts, specifically those using
LPNs. The new functionality allows users to perform inspection (Accept and Reject)
transactions for multiple lines at a time. Like the rest of Receiving Operations, the new
functionality to allow users to perform LPN Inspection transactions using tablets as well

3.5. Oracle Landed Cost Management
In an effort to meet revenue targets and profitability expectations, companies often look
to international trade to maximize their customer reach, gain competitive advantage, and
reduce costs. However, international trade introduces new coordination and management
complexities as well as costs. Understanding and attributing how much money an
enterprise is currently earning by product becomes very difficult. This is due in large part
to the fact that financial processes do not often mirror complicated physical supply flows.
Companies are looking for ways to bridge these two realities and accurately map product
movement and costs to financial accounting. They need the confidence to know that cost
and inventory valuations are correct. This is important not just for regulatory compliance
but also for strategic decision making. Knowledge and visibility into these trade costs
would help organizations better evaluate new product plans, price their products, and
negotiate contracts with both suppliers and customers.
Additionally, some industries and regions require that product-specific landed costs be
tracked and included on documentation even for domestic trade. These requirements are
often driven by a federal mandate, as in countries like Brazil and India. However, they
can also be driven by the needs of industries like process manufacturing, where it is
difficult to track individual acquisition components against the resulting products that are
stored and sold further downstream.
A landed cost management solution itemizes all the merchandise-related and non-
merchandise-related costs associated with an organization’s supply chain. It apportions
these costs back to the individual merchandise item, providing traceability throughout the
item’s lifecycle. The result is overall visibility that drives strategic decisions around
sourcing, product pricing, contract negotiation, and product planning initiatives. It also
provides the evidence and data to support accurate fiscal reporting and compliant trade
documentation.
Overview
Oracle Landed Cost Management was introduced in Oracle E-Business Suite Release
12.1.1. It captures extended supply chain costs (freight, insurance, duties, taxes, and so
on) and attributes them back to the products that incurred those costs. As a result, costs
tracked in Oracle Cost Management are no longer based on purchase order item costs but
are instead based on total landed cost. This means that decisions made from system cost
valuations and the related financial reports and statements are more effective and based
on “real” product costs. This can equate to increased product profitability through better
pricing models, sourcing decisions, and contract negotiations.
Release 12.1.1
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document 23
charges are included in a total landed cost calculation. Once actual amounts are
received, Charge Management records the new value for comparison with the earlier
estimates and sends adjustments to back-office applications.
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document 24
3.5.2.6. Integration with E-Business Suite Supply Chain and Back Office
Almost all organizations struggle to provide their back office systems with visibility into
estimates of accrued liabilities that are updated with actual amounts when they become
known. This is particularly the case when a large portion of trade is done across borders
or through a complex supply chain. Oracle’s Landed Cost Management is integrated
with the Oracle E-Business Suite financial and supply chain applications to provide this
visibility with straight forward implementation. Oracle Landed Cost Management
provides the estimated landed cost to E-Business Suite Inventory Receiving, which then
automatically forwards the estimate to the E-Business Suite Cost Management module.
Once actual costs are obtained and shared with Oracle Accounts Payable, variances are
communicated to E-Business Suite Cost Management.
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document 25
3.5.2.10. Accounts Payable Integration
Few accounts payable applications provide a mechanism to apply and match an
unlimited number of charges to a particular procured item line or group of lines. This
means that accurate actual landed cost calculations might be difficult to calculate
automatically. Additionally, this prevents tying an actual charge back to any record of an
earlier estimated landed cost calculation.
Oracle Payables allows for unlimited numbers of charges to be entered and applied to
procured line items and enables line items to be applied and associate to recovered line
items. This information is forwarded to Oracle Landed Cost Management, which in turn
calculates the actual landed cost. These values are compared with earlier estimates to
determine if a variance should be communicated to costing and ultimately to the general
ledger.
Release 12.1.2
3.5.3.1. Oracle Landed Cost Management Support for Process Cost Management
In a global environment, extended supply chain and logistical costs can account for as
much as fifty percent of the overall cost to obtain an item. Process industries are
particularly sensitive to these additional costs, especially when the goods being acquired
are commodities with narrow margins. Oracle Landed Cost Management is being
enhanced to support Oracle Process Manufacturing. Most of the enhancements are
designed to enable Oracle Process Manufacturing Cost Management to consume the
landed cost calculations and adjustments. Please see the Release Content Document for
Manufacturing for more information about the enhancements made to Oracle Process
Manufacturing Cost Management to support this flow.

3.5.3.4. Landed Cost Visualization by Purchase Order
In purchasing organizations where material crosses international borders, extended costs
are a large portion of the overall acquisition cost. It is often helpful for procurement
professionals to see the estimated landed cost of a purchase order before submitting it.
With Release 12.1.2, the Display Acquisition Cost page in Oracle Purchasing displays
landed cost information by purchase order.

the receiving application. During landed cost shipment creation, the charges are
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document 28
automatically defaulted by the Advanced Pricing Engine and prorated into the shipment
lines landed cost.
Through this new feature, users can review and update the defaulted charge lines during
landed cost shipment creation. Users can selectively define rules that govern which
shipments can be completed automatically and which shipments require manual
intervention to review and update the charges and complete the shipment.

3.6. Landed Cost Management Command Center
Overview
The Oracle Landed Cost Management Command Center helps you determine the full
"landed costs" associated with acquiring items. Beyond item purchase price, other
acquisition costs could include insurance, transportation, handling, storage costs,
container fees, and import or export charges. Better visibility into these additional
acquisition costs helps organizations make better informed buying decisions. The
increased visibility into the full landed cost also improves your ability to evaluate new
product plans, price items for sale, and negotiate contracts with suppliers, customers and
trading partners.
The Oracle Landed Cost Management Command Center is available at no additional cost
to licensed users of Oracle Landed Cost Management. It can be applied to Release 12.2.4

Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document 40
3.9.2.7. Over-Allocation Using Oracle Warehouse Management Rules
This feature is useful to pick items that are difficult to fulfill in exact order quantity.
Examples of such items are metal strips, gas cylinders, fluid containers, paper rolls, wire
bobbins, and so on. Such items are typically stored or packed in non-standard quantities
in the warehouse. Over-shipment is a very common business practice for such items since
it is not cost effective to cut, split or unpack the items in order to ship the exact ordered
quantity.
With this feature, Oracle Warehouse Management rules can be configured to over-
allocate containers that are within an over-shipping tolerance and are at the same time
closest to the requested quantity on the order. In this way, Oracle Warehouse
Management operators are directed to pick containers that require minimal material
handling without entering pick exception codes even though the pick quantity may be
greater than the requested quantity.
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document 41
3.9.2.12. Distributed Oracle Warehouse Management Deployment
Distributed Oracle Warehouse Management deployment is a new feature delivered as a
patch on Release 12.1.1. Until now, Oracle Warehouse Management required the
transaction source systems of Oracle Purchasing and Oracle Order Management, and
execution systems like Oracle Warehouse Management, to reside and operate within the
same instance. With a Distributed Oracle Warehouse Management deployment, it is
possible for Oracle Warehouse Management to be installed on a separate physical
instance from the remaining E-Business Suite applications. This feature gives powerful
choices to customers to deploy Oracle Warehouse Management either integrated as a
module within a single Oracle E-Business Suite instance or as a distributed and
independent solution installed on a separate instance. Customers who want the latest
Oracle Warehouse Management features in Release 12.1 can have Oracle Warehouse
Management deployed on a separate instance without upgrading the entire application
suite. This feature also makes it possible to use Oracle Warehouse Management for
warehousing operations along with an Oracle E-Business Suite or a non-EBS host
system. In addition, warehouses with network connectivity issues can consider a
distributed Oracle Warehouse Management installation for an "always on" warehouse
management solution.
To better support this deployment methodology, the distributed Oracle Warehouse
Management integration with Oracle E-Business Suite provides a starter kit for
integration between a distributed Oracle Warehouse Management instance and an Oracle
E-Business Suite Release 11.5.10, Release 12.1, or Release 12.2 instance.
Advanced Wave Planning also provides task planning functionality. The task planning
criteria can be used to configure the conditions under which tasks will be released
automatically for execution.
Release 12.1.2

easier by grouping orders into waves and subsequently releasing them for execution and
monitoring.
Advanced Wave Planning now has the ability to add and respond to exceptions, including
managing emergency orders in an active wave and canceling tasks.
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document 43
3.9.3.3. High Volume Case Picking Support
Case pick efficiency is critical in high volume distribution centers where more picks are
in cases than are in individual units or whole pallets. Release 12.1 introduced case
picking methodologies that allow an operator to bypass labeling and scanning processes
while loading cases at the picking line. Case picking can become a label-initiated process
in which labels are generated prior to wave release. The operator can then use these labels
to conduct the picking operation.
Release 12.1.2 now also offers the ability to load and drop tasks only after the last task
for an order is dispatched to the user. This provides further visual cues to the user that
their current set of work has ended and enables them to prepare for a run to a staging
area. This capability is enabled for discrete picking, order picking, and manifest picking
to streamline the traveling path when orders are grouped for dispatch to a single user.
Release 12.1.3
Opportunistic cycle count achieves this goal by interleaving a cycle count task with
picking. In addition, the count threshold can be configured in Oracle Warehouse
Management to trigger a cycle count task when it is most convenient to do so. The
threshold can be set to zero so that the operator will be asked to count after a pick activity
only if the pick results in driving the locator empty.
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document 44
provides a starter kit for integration between a distributed Oracle Warehouse
Management instance and an E-Business Suite 11.5.10, 12.1 or 12.2 instance. Using this
integration, the Order to Cash and the Procure to Pay processes can be executed
seamlessly across the two systems. The order capture and receivables management take
place in the Oracle E-Business Suite instance, and warehouse wave planning and
subsequent pick, pack and ship execution are managed in the Oracle Warehouse
Management instance. Similarly, procurement and payables management take place in E-
Business Suite and receiving, inspection and putaway are managed in Oracle Warehouse
Management.
Activity-based billing is a critical requirement for LSPs who perform material handling
on behalf of their clients. Warehouses managed by LSPs receive, store, and ship product
on behalf of their clients. Activity-based billing provides a complete solution that
provides a service-level contract pricing of logistics services and relies on activity data in
Oracle Warehouse Management to produce an itemized bill based on the actual services
performed by the warehouse. Using activity-based billing, LSPs can invoice their clients
accurately with minimal overhead.

Pricing, Oracle Shipping Execution, and Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications to
support this solution. Please refer to the white paper Advanced Catch Weight Solution in
Oracle E-Business Suite Applications for additional details (My Oracle Support note
1551171.1).
In this release, the Return to Vendor process has been enhanced to manage the fulfillment
process of any outbound shipments associated with the return and to offer greater
flexibility in the determination of which facility can ship the returned goods.

When a serial number is inspected in Oracle Warehouse Management, the Receiving
Transactions user interface on the desktop can now show the inspection transaction and
its results at the shipment line level or the LPN level instead of serial-by-serial. This
enables better auditing in high-volume serialized environments. Further, the Receiving
Transaction page and Manage Shipment page now lets users view and query by LPN on
the desktop so that desktop users have greater visibility into and ability to trace to
receipts performed as well as to expected shipments in Oracle Warehouse Management.
Release 12.2.4
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document 48
3.9.6.2. Cycle Count Skip Task
The Cycle Count Task mobile page enables the user to skip the current cycle count task
and get the next eligible cycle count task. This provides consistency between cycle counts
and picking tasks around the skipping operation and improves efficiency by eliminating
extra keystrokes.
Release 12.2.5
Currently, the Oracle Warehouse Management Task Dispatching Engine dispatches tasks
to a warehouse operator based on the operator’s eligibility to perform the task and on the
task priority. Skipping such a task automatically brings the next best eligible tasks.
However, an operator may be unable to perform a certain set of tasks due to a damaged
locator, blocked material, or similar circumstance. This would require the operator to skip
multiple tasks before getting to a feasible task, thereby reducing productivity and
efficiency. This enhancement enables the warehouse operator to view all of the eligible
tasks for the current task group and select a desired task. The operator can also configure
and view the shipping and packing instructions associated with the sales order line of the
task.
Previously, picking functionality enabled a warehouse operator to pick only the immediate
contents of an LPN. As a result, for a nested LPN, the operator was forced to break the
LPN and pick the material from the inner LPNs, thereby reducing the overall picking
efficiency. The Nested LPN Pick feature enables picking of nested LPNs provided that:
• All of the child LPNs within the nested LPN only have the item associated with
the current task.
Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 12.1 and 12.2 Release Content Document 49
• Contents are contained within the same level of the nested LPN structure.
• The total quantity in the inner LPNs is less than the task quantity or within the
over-shipment tolerance for the sales order line.
• The nested LPN is picked in its entirety.
From the Mobile Pick Load page, you can now capture additional information about a
task by using the personalization framework to expose the descriptive flexfield defined
on the transactions table MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS_TEMP (MMTT). The
descriptive attribute values will be moved to the MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS
(MMT) table when the transaction is committed. The flexfield values would appear on a
separate page on the mobile device.
