Hello, I am Jon Chorley, CSO and Group Vice President of Oracle Supply Chain &

Manufacturing Product Strategy, and in this spotlight I’ll highlight a few new capabilities
in update 21B.

1
We will view this Update in the following areas.

2
First up, Supply Chain Planning

3
Supply Chain Planning Cloud 21B features make it easier to analyze supply chain plans
offline using either Excel or analytics tools such as Oracle Analytics cloud.
The existing capability to export plan data to excel for offline edits has been enhanced
to be able to import the data after making your edits back into supply chain planning
cloud. This enables you to effectively work offline in Excel.

In addition, a new data extraction capability synchronizes planning measures in bulk for
offline analysis in your BI and reporting tools. The data synchronization process uses
the built-in BI Cloud Connector (BICC) for seamless integration with Oracle Analytics
Cloud, which you can schedule at regular intervals.

Next up Inventory

5
This feature leverages any received ASN or ASBN from your supplier that contains lot
and serial information, to simplify the receiving process. The warehouse operator can
view and select the lot and serial numbers assigned when the ASN or ASBN is created
during the receiving process – eliminating the need to manually reenter the numbers.

6
In Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC), you can now subscribe to the new Pick Confirm public
business event to trigger additional business processes or integrate with third-party
applications. For example, after the Pick Confirm business event is raised, you can use
the Completed Transactions in Inventory REST resource to obtain additional details
related to the completed inventory transaction. Then you can use that information to
trigger an external print vendor to print shipping labels for you.

7
On to Manufacturing

8
Certain Food and Beverage companies want to specify production requirements in dual
units of measure, such as cases for stocking and pounds for valuation purposes. In 21A,
we introduced dual units of measure during manufacturing work order transactions.
With this release, you can create process manufacturing work definitions and work
orders using whichever UOM is most familiar to you. For example, entering product
requirements in cases shows the equivalent pounds, which is calculated based on the
standard or item-specific UOM conversion. It also makes it easier to verify the accuracy
of material quantities and understand production execution and reporting in dual
UOMs.

9
With this feature, you can preassign one or more lot numbers for a product in a
manufacturing work order. You have the option to default the work order number as
the lot number during work order creation, or enter a lot or generate a lot after the work
order is created. During product completion, you will be required to use one of the
preassigned lots when putting product into inventory, and will have the ability to update
the lot origination date, hold until date and expiration date at product completion.

Preassigning of the product lots to a work order can help accurately track product lots,
their transaction history, and genealogy relationships throughout the production
process.

10
Now Maintenance

11
Work Request was introduced with Limited Availability in 21A and is now Generally
Available in 21B. Work Requests for an installed base asset are supported in the Oracle
Maintenance Cloud by using the Oracle Help Desk offering. The Help Desk will support
work requests only for internally owned assets using Internal Service Requests.

Work Requests are typically used to report facility and asset related maintenance
discrepancies. They will contain information about the nature of the discrepancy, asset
(if known), and a description of the problem. Work Requests are triaged and then
assigned for resolution using maintenance work orders. Once resolved, the original
requester is updated on the outcome of the Work Request, providing the feedback
loop.

12
Now Order Management

13
To improve the user experience and efficiency of the sales entry process, you may now
set a time limit from 5 seconds to 240 seconds for the order submit process to
complete. If it does not complete in this time, it will return the screen back to the user
who may progress to their next task, and the sales order submit process will continue in
the background.

14
If you use credit cards to make payment in your upstream source system, then when
you import orders using the REST API, you may now include the credit card tokens.
These are part of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
requirements and helps to shield sensitive details when you pay for the sales order
transaction.

15
You can now check availability and schedule orders for back-to-back items using real
time supply data from Oracle Cloud Supply Chain Execution. If the item is available
onhand, it will be shipped from stock; otherwise, global order promising will trigger a
new purchase order or transfer order to fulfill the demand. Any changes in supply,
shipment and delivery dates will be reflected in the sales order line throughout its
lifecycle.

With this change, you no longer need to collect supply data to update availability for
back-to-back purchases or transfers. All other order promising requests continue to
rely on collected data.

16
Next Procurement

17
Some of the new capabilities are: One time address in requisition preferences, master
contract variables in your purchase order terms, specifying a purchase order sender
email address, and line level bid decrements. These are covered in more detail in the
Procurement Cloud Update 21B Spotlight delivered by Tom Anthony.

18
Now on to Logistics. The main focus for 21B Logistics is migration to OCI. This is an
internal infrastructure project and so we’ll not cover it here.

19
Next up PLM including Quality Mgt

20
PLM supports the ability to View Context-Specific Attributes in Affected Objects Table.
This helps facilitate decision making. Information is also available in the Supplier Portal.

21
Item rules now support a function to call global functions, which can call the desired
application composer function and returns a value. The
returned value can be used for assignment or validation. This increases your ability to
enforce validations across base and custom objects

22
Quality Mgt has introduced Object Hyperlinks to View Related Objects. These provide
quick, seamless navigation between out of the box Oracle Quality Management objects
and any Application Composer custom object enabled processes.

23
Finally, Lets look at IOT applications and Blockchain with Intelligent Track & Trace

24
Both Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring and Oracle Production Monitoring now support
Flexible Computation Schedules and improved testing capabilities where you can test
Metric values before deployment

25
Both Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring and Oracle Production Monitoring now support
Flexible Computation Schedules and improved testing capabilities where you can test
Metric values before deployment

26
Oracle IoT Fleet Monitoring now applies feature-based machine learning on data from
Oracle Transportation Management Cloud (OTM) to determine insights and transit time
predictions for planned shipments – yielding significant improvements in accuracy and
cost savings.

In addition, a driver (including a third-party carrier driver) can now use the Oracle IoT
Fleet Monitoring Mobile app to complete a shipment and provide the status of the
shipment delivery.

27
IOT Connected worker can now add Asset Associations and Locations for a Project from
Asset Monitoring for projects --- and now also supports Wi-Fi based positioning for
improved accuracy where GPS signal is poor or absent.

28
Oracle Intelligent Track & Trace with Blockchain now supports Serial Controlled and Lot
Controlled Product Tracking enabling you to support comprehensive backward or
forward trace for any given product.
