Release 22.1.302.0
F61216-01
August 2022
This document highlights the major changes for Release 22.1.302.0 of Oracle Retail Merchandising Foundation
Cloud Service.
Overview
Retailers leverage Oracle Retail Merchandising Foundation Cloud Service (RMFCS) functionality to execute
core merchandising activities, including merchandise management, inventory replenishment, purchasing,
import processes, sales auditing, and financial tracking. Its Trade Management module is used to manage the
import process, including automating the steps necessary to import goods, managing file exchanges with
trading partners, and providing a central database of critical import order information.
Merchandising Foundation Cloud Service also includes the Sales Audit module. The Sales Audit module
evaluates sales transaction from all channels, identifying any missing, duplicate, or erroneous data and
highlighting any suspicious transactions, to ensure errors are resolved so that downstream systems operate off
the same cleansed sales information.

- Metric 1: Count of Cost Change Locations
Tile 2: Sales Audit Metrics
■ Tile State 1: Count of Sales Audit Transaction Line Items
Details for the REST service end points that enable these metrics to be configured and viewed in Retail Home
are included in the Merchandising Foundation Cloud Service Operations Guide volume 2.
In addition to exposing the calculated metrics in Retail Home, this cloud service update will include the ability
to manage which metrics are calculated and how they’re calculated by using the spreadsheet
download/upload feature in Merchandising. A new template for Retail Business Metrics has been added
under the Administration template type.
Steps to Enable
Enabling this feature for use requires that the calculations be enabled using the spreadsheet download/upload
function and configuring the tiles and tile states within Retail Home to perform the REST service calls once the
metrics are calculated. More information for configuring tiles in Retail Home is available in the Retail Home
Administration Guide.

Corrected CONNECT String Issue in Archive and Truncate Purge History Tables Job
Modified the Archive and Truncate Purge History Tables program to remove reassigning of CONNECT string
with DB credentials passed from the Process Orchestration and Monitoring solution.
11
Corrected Error in Transaction Screen
Corrected issue that was causing a error on the Transaction screen when reviewing a non-sale/return
transaction or a transaction that does not have any item records.
Corrected Error when Creating Import Purchase Order via Spreadsheet Upload
The purchase order spreadsheet upload logic has been modified to not default the purchase order's import
country to base country defined on system options when no import country is provided in the upload file.
Instead, the system will obtain the correct import country from the address of a location on the order.
Similarly, when no exchange rate is provided in the input file, the same method will be used to determine the
local exchange rate needed to convert between the local and purchase order currencies.
Corrected Partner Validation Issue in Upload of Deals from 3rd Party Systems Batch
Corrected issue that was causing the Upload of Deals from 3rd Party Systems (dealupld) batch to fail due to a
missing partner validation. With this fix, both supplier and partner in a deal are validated from the
item/supplier/country table.
12
Corrected Setup of Ticket Type As Merchandise Hierarchy Default
In the previous versions of Merchandising, an error was causing Ticket Type to be still visible for a
Merchandise Hierarchy even when it was set as Not Available and Not Required as part of Merchandise
Hierarchy Default setup. This version addresses this issue.
Corrected Unique Constraint Error with Order Detail Publishing from Merchandising
Corrected duplicate entries in the order detail publishing table when new items and custom flex attributes are
added to a previously approved order.
Corrected Validation of Ship Dates when Updating Orders via Order Subscription API
Previously, when modifying an existing order which was created in the past and contained an Earliest Ship
Date which is also in the past, an error was returned, even though there was no attempt to modify the dates.
The Order Detail Create message validation in the Order Subscription API has been modified to no longer
validate the Earliest and/ Latest Ship Dates unless one of the dates has been modified.
13
Corrected WAC Calculation for Book Transfers
This version of Merchandising corrects the computation of new WAC. The earlier version was considering
current stock on hand instead of total stock.
Corrected Tax Details being Interfaced to ReIMCS on Obligation Invoices for Partners in Exempt
VAT Regions
In a SVAT Tax regime, when MFCS sends a non-merch invoice to ReIMCS for an Obligation or Customs Entry,
if either the location’s or the supplier’s VAT region are Exempt or if the supplier/partner’s VAT region is
different from the Location’s VAT region, then VAT details will not be captured in the INVC_NON_MERCH
table and the TVATS record will be omitted while creating the edidlinv file.

into the EDI invoice download file for RTVs from locations in Exempt VAT Regions.
Modified 'Include on Order' Default when Creating Purchase Order via Spreadsheet Upload
Modified defaulting of the ‘Include on Order' flag for purchase orders created via spreadsheet upload.
Previously, if no value was provided for Include on Order, the system would default the flag to No (N), the
processing of the spreadsheet has been updated to match the defaulting used in the online UI which will
default the value to Yes (Y) when no value is provided.
21
Order Revision Enhancements
This version of Merchandising introduces the ability to reject an order revision from the existing Order
Revisions screen. Currently order revisions can only be accepted and not explicitly rejected. The screen is
enhanced to show status of each order revision along with iconic buttons to take accept or reject action.
Possible stats can be Pending, Accepted or Rejected. There is also an option to reject all changes for a particular
revision through new Reject All button.

Remediated Sales Process Batch Processing In Case of Same Item With Different Taxes
In the previous versions of Merchandising, an issue was causing SALESPROCESS batch to fail when the POSU
file has same item with multiple transactions with different taxes. The current version addresses the issue by
summing the tax and using average of vat rate for invoicing.
Removed Field Enabling in System Options Screen for Users with View Only Access
Previously, when a user, who is granted view only access to the System Options screen by having the
Application Administration Inquiry Duty assigned, opened the System Options screen, some fields appeared
to be enabled for edits. These users were unable to save any edits made to the values in these fields, but the
screen should not enable any fields in this case. The screen was modified to ensure all fields are disabled from
edits unless the user has the Application Administrator Management Duty.
Removed RDS Data Pump Dependency on Lift and Shift Component in Data Migration Schema
Previously, the database component used for importing/exporting data was owned by the data migration
schema. The component is no longer needed to be persisted in the data migration schema like RMS01_DM. The
package can be owned by RMS01 and only contains database functions which are used for RDS or DAS export.

error from the input directory to outgoing to the customer and archived directories.
Updated the Decimal Precision of Unit Cost in Item Detail Contextual Report
Previously, the Item Detail contextual report displayed the unit cost with a decimal precision of two rather than
using the configured decimal precision defined for the currency in which the cost is displayed. The report has
been updated to obtain the cost decimal precision for the currency and use that to determine the display of the
unit cost value in the report.
