Hello and Welcome.

My name is Jon Chorley and it’s my pleasure to bring you this

overview of just some of he new and enhanced capabilities in Oracle SCM Cloud,
Update 21A.
Let’s begin.

1
2
First Order Management:

• Paying for sales orders with a credit card is a common practice across industries
• Oracle Order Management Cloud now integrates with Oracle Fusion Payments to
enable your customers to:
• Select an existing credit card or add a new one
• Pay for the entire order or pay for each order line with a different card
• Optionally use the three digit card verification value.
• It also enables your company to comply with Payment Card Industry Data Security
Standard (PCI DSS)

• This support delivers:

• Close sales faster
• Reduced order-to-cash cycle time
• Improved customer buying experience.

3
• Now Oracle Transportation Management:
• New in OTM 21A, you can leverage Machine Learning in the context of
planning your shipments
• OTM’s ML-model is based on your historical shipment data and is updated
based on changes in your shipping patterns
• Use ML-based predicted transit times to:
• Calculate expected arrival times (ETA) for internal operations and
external customers
• Identify shipments at-risk of being delivered late
• Proactively resolve potential late shipment exceptions
• This delivers:
• Improved perfect order delivery & customer experience
• Reduced freight costs (minimize need to expedite late shipments)

4
• Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring and Oracle’s Transportation Management already
provides you with real-time visibility and insights for truck and driver monitoring of
shipments in transit
• Newly added in 21A is the ability to extend IoT senor-based monitoring to the
Equipment, Ship Unit and even Item level with standard out-of-the box integration
between OTM Cloud and Oracle IoT Intelligent Apps
• You can now capture sensor data from connected devices for new capabilities to
track equipment or trailers, Returnable Transport Items (e.g., pallets, totes), and most
importantly, monitor the condition of the cargo or inventory being transported.

• Benefits
• Improved perfect order delivery – on-time and in the right condition
• Reduced costs (reduced theft, spoilage, lost assets)

5
• In Global Trade Management:
• Now you can qualify your products against global trade agreements to
support your customer sales order and internal transfer order processes
• You can perform analysis of a given item’s structure and cost data to
determine if the item qualifies for a trade agreement (e.g., USA-Mexico-
Canada trade agreement)
• This enables you to save duty on intercompany transfers and help your
customers reduce their own duty payments when buying your products.
• Benefits
• Improve margins by reducing import duties on internal transfers
• Increase competitiveness by reducing the import duties that your customers
need to pay when buying your products

6
Now the Supply Chain Execution area – which includes Inventory, Manufacturing
Maintenance, Costing, Installed Base and Field Service Logistics capabilities

7
• Feature
• When dealing with goods that are under lot control, there are numerous
events that might require you to break, combine, or transform some or all of
the goods in a specific lot.
• Now you can perform lot split, merge, and translate actions using REST and
file-based data import (FBDI) in support of PaaS and/or mobile partner
support requirements.
• Benefits
• Improved inventory accuracy
• Improved order fulfillment

• Note: UI-based support will be coming in the future.

8
• Feature
• When you regularly order the same item from multiple suppliers or
distributors, that item’s manufacturer part number might be the only easy and
consistent way to identify goods.
• Now, you can view the manufacturer name and associated manufacturer part
number as separate columns when creating ASNs or ASBNS, receiving goods
and putting them away, or managing existing receipts.
• Benefit
• Improved user experience
• Improved process efficiency for receiving goods

9
• Feature
• Unforeseen emergencies or natural disasters can generate demand spikes that
quickly drive your on-hand quantities well below what's required to meet
demand, or possibly even down to zero.
• When this happens, you need a way to reserve supply manually for priority
orders before releasing the order to your warehouse.
• Now, on the Manage Reservations and Picks page, you can manually reserve
supply before the sales order is released to the warehouse for shipping.
• Benefits
• Improved sales order fulfillment & customer experience

10
Dual Unit of measure supports the tracking of a product simultaneous in two distinct
units of measure that are not exactly convertible – for example a product is stocked by
count in cases, but costed by weight in pounds.

You can now report materials and products in dual UOMs through discrete and process
manufacturing transactions that update on-hand inventory and lot genealogy.

As a result, you can better track the variability inherent in materials and products for
improved inventory visibility and costing accuracy, based on the actual quantity instead
of the standard quantity in catchweight and other manufacturing industries.

11
Today you can enforce the inspection of 100% of the consecutive units produced while
completing a manufacturing work order operation. However, once a manufacturer has
produced a number of units with consistent good quality, they may not be able to test
every product due to high volume production or the cost and cycle time of inspection.

With this feature, you can now select representative samples out of a discrete or
process manufacturing work order operation quantity to determine the quality of a
non-serialized work in process (WIP). To enforce inline WIP sampling, you can associate
a sampling-enabled inspection level based on a percentage of the quantity produced, a
fixed count of samples, or based on the statistical standards for Acceptance Quality
Limit (AQL) with a mandatory WIP inspection plan.

WIP sampling combined with flexible WIP inspection levels help manufacturers reduce
the cost and scope of inspection to reach reliable conclusions about their product
quality.

12
A Deep Link allows a function within a Fusion Applications to be called directly by an
outside function or service, bypassing intermediate navigation. In this update, Oracle
Supply Chain Management Cloud delivers new deep links to edit a manufacturing work
definition, work order, production exception, or resource and view an inspection plan
and inspection results. You can use these links in a variety of ways, such as in business
intelligence reports, custom pages or tabs in the UI using Application Composer, and
third-party application pages.

13
Now Maintenance
You can easily remove a child component from the parent asset's hierarchy, as well as
install a child component into the parent asset's hierarchy, all from within the work
order improving the process flow and saving the technician time.

14
In Field Service, you can now capture more detailed cost information about resources
used to perform the service. For Depot Repair, you can now capture more detailed
charge information for both labor and non-labor activities. Also, you can now charge for
outside processing.

15
 Several enhancement are also included in update 21A for Cost Management:

 You may Calculate acquisition cost of returned item at price paid to the customer to
efficiently managing your reverse logistics costs, including depot repair
 You may Perform lot split, merge, and translate actions using REST APIs and file-
based data import (FBDI)
 You may now Accept returns from customers against a project ; Track, segregate
and value your project-inventory for returned items and Charge the incoming
receipt to that project, if applicable
Finally, you may use enhanced tax attributes for intercompany invoices in
intercompany shipment flows
Now the Supply Chain Planning area – which includes Supply Planning, Demand
Management, Sales & Operations Planning and Supply Chain Collaboration & Visibility.
Here the big news is the delivery of the New Product Scheduling Cloud solution –
included as part of Supply Planning

20
Cloud Production Scheduling supports the critical manufacturing process of
maximizing factory throughput and asset utilization for discrete industries.

It utilizes the latest Cloud Manufacturing information such as on work orders and
resource availability, allowing you to generate schedules quickly and, on-demand.
Schedules are ever dynamic and can be fine tuned manually, factoring in outages and
breakdowns as they occur, enabling a proactive shop floor.

Production scheduling capability is delivered as a part of Cloud Supply Planning to

operationalize tactical planning decisions. It does so by sequencing factory work orders
optimally and feasibly, considering all supplies and demands simultaneously, reducing
time lost to changeovers and yielding the best capacity gains. You can execute your
factory schedules with confidence to meet customer demand on time as best as
possible.

21
Cloud Production Scheduling creates finite schedules respecting material and resource
capacity constraints and, time constraints, such as shifts and holidays. Customer
defined attributes for scheduling are flexibly supported. Attribute-based changeover
rules can be defined to derive efficient sequencing, minimizing changeover time. Also,
user defined attribute sequences are honored, giving schedulers control on how to
schedule production lines.

Schedules can be intuitively managed. The scheduler can fine tune schedules in-line
through interactive Gantt charts with drag and drop features and editable dispatch lists.
Schedule performance can be monitored through real-time analytics on late orders,
changeover time and utilization of equipment and labor. Schedules can be conveniently
displayed as needed, pivoting on attributes, products, late orders and other criteria.
This helps to quickly identify issues and take appropriate resequencing decisions easily
before readying the schedule for release.

Real-time work order synchronization with Cloud Manufacturing helps to execute

seamlessly, significantly improving the speed of factory activity.

22
Finally the Product Lifecycle Management Area area – which includes Innovation
Management, Product Development Product Data Hub and Quality

23
Launch Change Order Reports Directly from Product Development

• Configured OTBI reports can be launched directly from the Change Order
• User can select from a collection of configured reports based on their business
requirements
• Users can access the reports they need easily
• Context values of standard attributes are passed dynamically to the reports

24
Configure Approval Notifications Using BI Publisher

• User can customize and configure New Item Request Approval /Change Approval
Notification using BI Publisher.
• User can customize the seeded notification to view
Layout content look and feel.
Additional fields like DFF
• User can view the approval notifications data as per the customization
• Design and customize the look and feel of the notification providing
enhanced user experience as per the business needs.
• Exposing the relevant attributes in the notification helps assignees to
optimize on NIR decision process.

25
Auditing is used to monitor user activity and all data changes pertaining to creating,
modifying or removing business objects. To view an audit of changes made against a
specific Quality Issue or Quality Action historically required a number of steps to
generate an audit report. The new side panel view of Audit Details provides instant
access to the audit details for attributes which have been configured for inclusion
through the common audit framework.

The Comments side panel provides an easily accessible, consolidated and uncluttered
view of all the user comments for the specific quality issue or quality action.
The Comments side panel improves collaboration by providing stakeholders with quick
access to provide or request clarification, root cause analysis or identify additional tasks.
