Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications for Oracle E-Business Suite Release Notes (Doc ID
2108155.1)

The Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications for Oracle E-Business Suite app enables supply chain transactions from a
smartphone app interface, leveraging the same setup and application validation as Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications.
This app enables you to quickly perform material handling transactions for many Oracle E-Business Suite Supply Chain
applications including Oracle Enterprise Asset Management, Oracle Inventory Management, Oracle Manufacturing, and Oracle
Warehouse Management.

Use this mobile app to:

Inquire about material on-hand.

Print labels.
Perform inventory transactions such as move, count, issues, receipts, receive, pick, and ship.
Execute warehouse management transactions such as task-based pick, putaway, count, and LPN updates.
Perform manufacturing transactions such as moving; completing and rejecting assemblies; scrapping and rejecting
items; flow completion; and charging resources.
Perform quality transactions such as viewing specifications and collecting quality data.
Perform enterprise asset management (EAM) transactions such as component issue and return.
Perform shop floor transactions such as material issue and return, and negative component issue and return.

Note: The Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications for Oracle E-Business Suite app is compatible with Oracle E-Business Suite
12.1.3 and 12.2.3 and later releases. To use this app, you must be a licensed user of Oracle Mobile Supply Chain Applications,
with mobile services configured on the server-side by your administrator.

For a list of Oracle E-Business Suite smartphone apps currently available, refer to My Oracle Support Knowledge Document
1641772.1, Oracle E-Business Suite Mobile Apps, Release 12.1 and 12.2 Documentation Index.

Section 1: Oracle Mobile SCM for EBS, Release 10.0.0: Announcement

Note: The framework used to develop Mobile Supply Chain for EBS changed in January 2023. Oracle Mobile SCM for EBS,
release 10.0.0 uses Oracle JavaScript Extension Toolkit (OJET) as an underlying framework.

The previous version of the Oracle Mobile Supply Chain for Oracle E-Business Suite app, which was made available in the
Apple App Store and the Google Play Store under the name Mobile Supply Chain for EBS, was built with Oracle Mobile
Application Framework (MAF). Oracle MAF is moving into Sustaining Support. The previous version of the app will remain
available in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store until June 30, 2024. Oracle Mobile Supply Chain for EBS app
users should move to the newer version, known as Oracle Mobile SCM for EBS Release 10.0.0, as soon as possible.

13/11/23, 11:16 Document Display
Beginning July 1, 2024, only Release 10.0.0 and later versions of the Oracle Mobile SCM for EBS app will be available and
supported.

Section 2: Oracle Mobile SCM for EBS, Release 10.0.0: Overview

The current mobile MSCA application available in stores for Apple and Google is named Mobile Supply Chain for EBS. The
current mobile MSCA application leverages Oracle's Mobile Application Framework (MAF) technology which is in the process of
moving into sustained support. This version will be supported until July 1, 2024.

Therefore, MSCA customers need to migrate to the new version of the iOS and Android application named Oracle Mobile
SCM for EBS, as soon as possible. The new MSCA application includes new and improved technology and is no longer
dependent on the Oracle MAF technology.

Oracle Mobile SCM for EBS version 10.0.0 is now available in App Store and Google Play for iOS and Android platforms,
respectively.

The functionality found in the new MSCA application is the same (except for few UI improvements) as the older MSCA
application. Both the MSCA applications will be available in App Store and Google Play until July 1, 2024. This time frame offers
MSCA customers ample opportunity to migrate to the new app.

Beginning July 1, 2024, only the new version of the mobile app will be available and supported.

As soon as possible, Oracle recommends that customers apply the required server-side patches in a test instance to test all the
flows with the new MSCA app that is Oracle Mobile SCM for EBS.

Section 2.1: Patch Information

To use the new MSCA application, download and install the following mandatory server-side patches:

Customers using release 12.2.3 and later releases: Patch 34986700:R12.MWA.C

Customers using release 12.1.3: Patch 35042131:R12.MWA.B

Section 2.2: Functional Enhancements

The functional changes are as follows:

The layout for all the transaction windows is changed to the standard mobile look and feel pages.
The menu and LOV entries are numbered. You can select 1 to 9 directly by pressing the 1 to 9 number keys respectively
on a device with a physical keyboard.
The generate function, for example, generating a LPN, is simplified to generate and populate the corresponding field
directly.

Section 2.3: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

4. What are the changes in the new MSCA app?

Answer: There are functional enhancements and new look and feel for some UI components.

5. Can I install and use both apps at the same time?

Answer: Yes, you may install both apps because they are two different apps. However, Oracle recommends not to
install or use both apps on the same device because this configuration is not yet certified.

6. How long will the old (existing) MSCA app be available?

Answer: The old MSCA app will be available until June 30, 2024. However, customers should begin using the new
version (release 10.0.0) at the earliest.

7. What if I am using personalizations or customizations?

Answer: All the server-side personalizations or customizations will continue to work successfully with the new MSCA
app.

Section 3: Release Update History

Note: The latest app version will work with the current version (N) and one previous version (N-1) of the server-side
patches. However, the latest server-side patches must be applied to enable new features and fixes that require those
patches; such features are marked with an asterisk (*).
