10 Chapter 1 Overview The following diagram illustrates how Order Management fulfills a sales order. Order Management Cloud Source Order Create Order Transformed Order Transform Order Assign Orchestration Process update 6 5 Oracle Applications: Do Billing 4 Customer: Receive Order Warehouse: Pick and Ship Explanation of Callouts Order Management does the following work when it fulfills a sales order: 1. You create a new sales order on the Create Order page. You specify the customer in the heading area of this page, you use the Order Lines area to add order lines to the sales order, and then click Submit Some organizations might also import source orders from an order management system into Order Management. For details, see Transforming Source Orders to Sales Orders: How It Works. Order Management transforms each order line into a fulfillment line. For details, see Transforming Order Lines to Fulfillment Lines: How it Works. Order Management creates an orchestration process that fulfills each of the fulfillment lines. The orchestration process references tasks that do fulfillment, such as schedule, reserve inventory, and ship. You can use it to monitor fulfillment status. To schedule fulfillment for the sales order, each orchestration process uses the supplier configuration that your order administrator set up, such as which warehouse will supply the item. For details, see Monitoring Order Fulfillment: Procedure. Order Management sends the sales order to Oracle Fusion Inventory Management, which reserves inventory, picks the item from warehouse shelves, and then ships it to the customer. Inventory Management communicates shipment progress to Order Management during order fulfillment, and Order Management displays these updated statuses in the Order Management work area so that you can monitor fulfillment progress. The customer confirms that they received the item. 4

11 Chapter 1 Overview 6. Order Management uses the billing configuration that your order administrator set up, such as the payment terms for this customer, to bill the customer for this sales order, and then billing collects the payment. You can also specify billing details in the Billing and Payment Details area of the Create Order page. Order Management continuously updates the order status and displays it throughout the Order Management work area during order fulfillment. Related Topics Monitoring Order Fulfillment: Procedure Creating Sales Orders: Procedure Transforming Source Orders to Sales Orders: How It Works Order Management Cloud transforms each source order that you create in Order Management or that it receives from a source system so that it can optimize order fulfillment. The following diagram illustrates how Order Management transforms a source order. Source Order Source Order Line 1 Source Order Line 2 Source Order Line Transformed Order 3 4 Order Line 1 Fulfillment Line 1-1 Orchestration Process x Order Line 2 Fulfillment Line 2-1 Orchestration Process y Order Line 3 Fulfillment Line 3-1 Orchestration Process z 5

12 Chapter 1 Overview Explanation of Callouts In this example, Order Management does the following work: 1. Receives a source order that you submit in Order Management or that it gets from a source system. The source order in this example includes three order lines. 2. Separates the source order into logical pieces that it can fulfill, such as fulfillment lines. 3. Assigns each fulfillment line to a new orchestration process that it creates to orchestrate fulfillment for this fulfillment line. For example, it might assign fulfillment line 1-1 to orchestration process , and fulfillment line 1-2 to orchestration process Starts each orchestration process that performs the tasks that fulfill each fulfillment line. To examine these orchestration processes, you can use the Switch to Fulfillment View action on the Order page of the Order Management work area. Order Management typically finishes transformation within a few seconds after you click Submit. Order Management sets the completion date of the final step in each orchestration process to the requested date of the source order. Note that the Last Fulfillment Completion Step specifies the final step of the orchestration process. This final step is not necessarily the last step that Order Management completes in chronological order. When Transformation Rules Run The following transformation rules run depending on the event that starts the transformation. 6

13 Chapter 1 Overview Note the following points. If you. Import a sales order from a source system. Pretransformation, product transformation, and posttransformation rules run during order import. These rules run before you submit the sales order to order fulfillment. Manually create a new sales order in the Order Management work area. Pretransformation rules run each time you modify the customer, modify the order type, or add an order line on a sales order. Product transformation and posttransformation rules run one time after you click Submit. Revise a sales order in the Order Management work area. No transformation rules run. 7

14 Chapter 1 Overview Parts of Sales Orders You Can Use After Order Management Transforms Source Orders You can use the following parts of a sales order after Order Management transforms a source order. You can use them to monitor and manage order fulfillment. Part of Sales Order Order Description Includes order lines and fulfillment lines. Note the following: Order line Typically references one fulfillment line. Note the following: Fulfillment line The relationship that exists between a sales order and a fulfillment line is similar to the relationship that exists between a source order and a source order line. A sales order that resides in Order Management might not exactly mirror the structure of a source order that resides in an external source system. If Order Management splits a fulfillment line, then it maps two or more fulfillment lines to the same order line. The relationship that exists between a sales order and the order lines preserves some of the original structure of the source order, making it easier to keep track of the original intent of the source order, even if Order Management splits the fulfillment lines that it associates with the sales order. Part of a sales order that you can modify in the Order Management work area. For example, you can do the following modifications: Schedule or unschedule a fulfillment line. Reserve items for a fulfillment line. Substitute an item on a fulfillment line. Change the warehouse, shipping method, or demand class for a fulfillment line. Orchestration process An order administrator can set up an orchestration process to determine the tasks that this process must perform. You cannot modify an orchestration process in the Order Management work area, but you can monitor an instance of it while it manages each fulfillment line. You can monitor each fulfillment line as it progresses through the orchestration process. Return fulfillment line Represents a sales order line that Order Management uses to return items. It is similar to a fulfillment line, but it includes a set of attributes that are specific to returning items. Related Topics Creating Sales Orders: Procedure Transforming Order Lines to Fulfillment Lines: How it Works Order Management Cloud transforms the order lines of a sales order that you create into fulfillment lines. These order lines and fulfillment lines might not always mirror each other. The number of fulfillment lines might exceed the number of order 8

15 Chapter 1 Overview lines, or Order Management might use different sequences when it display these lines. It can also transform a source order that it receives from an external source system. These differences occur because Order Management applies fulfillment requirements to fulfillment lines, such as available inventory, scheduling requirements, or shipping requirements. For example, assume your company receives orders for a laptop computer that comes with multiple accessories, such as a docking station, mouse, and so on. In the following illustration, Order Management transforms order lines to fulfillment lines when it receives a source order from a source system. It transforms a source order for a laptop and accessory package into a sales order that includes individual fulfillment lines for the laptop and for each item that the accessory package contains. It does a similar transformation when you enter a sales order directly in Order Management. The transformation that Order Management performs depends on how your order administrator configures Order Management. You can use the Manage Fulfillment Lines page to manage these lines. Source Order Line Quantity Product Price 1 1 Laptop 700 USD 1 1 Accessory Package 225 USD Transformation Sales Order Product Transformed Order Line Fulfillment Line Quantity Laptop Accessory Package Docking Station Mouse AC Adapter Keyboard Order Management does the following work to transform the source order for this example: Transforms two source order lines into six fulfillment lines. Uses the price from the source order to populate the price in the sales order. Transforms the line for the laptop in the source order to fulfillment line 1 in the sales order. Transforms the Accessory Package in the source order to multiple fulfillment lines in the sales order. Each line represents part of the content of the Accessory Package, such as docking station, mouse, AC adapter, and so on. 9

16 Chapter 1 Overview Related Topics Creating Sales Orders: Procedure Processing Change Orders: How it Works Order Management Cloud can incorporate a change order that it receives from a variety of sources, such as the Order Management work area, a source system, or a fulfillment system. Order Management does the following work when it incorporates a change order: 1. Receives a change order from the Order Management work area, a source system, or a fulfillment system. 2. Uses processing constraints to determine whether or not to allow the change. If it allows the change, then Order Management accepts it, and then determines whether or not to adjust the orchestration process to accommodate the change. 3. Identifies the orchestration process steps that have finished and the steps that it must adjust. 4. Sets the status of the tasks that finished before the change occurs, and sets the status for the orchestration process to Change Pending. 5. The fulfillment system accepts the request, and Order Management sets the status of each task to a normal status, such as Completed, when each task that makes the adjustments finishes running. 6. Creates an event when order compensation finishes or when an error occurs during order compensation.

On the Order Management sign in page, enter your user name and password, and then press the Enter key. Order Management displays page Overview. You can use this page to create new a sales order and to manage existing ones. Related Topics Managing Sales Orders: Overview Creating Sales Orders: Procedure You can use the Create Order page of the Order Management work area to create a new sales order. For the example in this topic, assume you must create a sales order for customer Computer Service and Rentals, and for item Desktop Chassis Model A243. This topic includes example values. You might use different values, depending on your business requirements. Create a sales order: 1. In the Navigator, click Order Management. 2. On the Overview page, click Tasks, and then click Create Order. 3. On the Create Order page, complete the order header: Enter a value in the Customer field, such as Computer Service and Rentals. Order Management makes other order head fields available after you enter the value. If you cannot locate the customer, then your order administrator must add the customer to Order Management. For details, ask your order administrator. Optional. Specify sales credits. For details, see Managing Sales Credits: Explained. Specify values in other fields, as necessary. Order Management applies any values that you specify in the order header to the entire sales order. 4. In the Order Lines area, in the Select Item field, enter text or a number that identifies the item that your customer is ordering, press TAB on your keyboard, wait for Order Management to display the item details, and then click Add. 11

18 Chapter 2 Managing Sales Orders For example, the following diagram illustrates how to add the AS54888 item. The area in the red box is the catalog search line. It allows you to search the catalog for items that you can add to the sales order. If you cannot locate the item, then your order administrator must add it to Order Management. For details, ask your order administrator. Tip: To perform an advanced search, click the magnifying glass. In the Search and Select dialog, click Advanced, expand Advanced Search, and then enter a value in a field. For example, in the Item field, enter Computer, and then click Search. Order Management will display all the items that begin with the word Computer Repeat step 4, but add a different item. For example, enter Monitor - 19". Optional. Validate your sales order. For details, see Validating Sales Orders: Procedure. Click Submit. In the Warning dialog, click Yes. Notice that Order Management added information at the top of the order header, such as Order: Computer Service and Rentals Processing, where: Computer Service and Rentals is the customer name is the order number. Processing is the order status. Order Management transformed your sales order and scheduled it for fulfillment. For details, see Transforming Source Orders to Sales Orders: How it Works. Editing Currency Details You can use the Edit Currency Details action to override the currency for the sales order and to set the conversion to use for accounting. Note the following points: Order Management comes predefined to use US Dollar as the currency, by default. If you modify this value, then Order Management will use the currency you set when it prices the sales order. If you modify the currency, then the currency that Oracle Accounting uses in the ledger might be different from the currency that your sales order uses. You can specify the type, rate, and date that Oracle Accounting uses when it converts the sales order currency to the ledger currency. Your order administrator determines the values you can set when you edit currency details. Ask your order administrator about how to set these values. 12

19 Chapter 2 Managing Sales Orders Related Topics Transforming Source Orders to Sales Orders: How It Works Managing Sales Orders: Overview Managing Sales Credits for Sales Orders: Explained You can use the Sales Credits attribute on the order header of the Create Order page to assign the revenue percentage and nonrevenue percentage of the sales credit that each salesperson receives who is involved with the sales order. Order Management Cloud distributes the credit according to how you specify these percentages. You can also manage sales credits on the order line. A sales credit is a percentage of the total revenue of a sales order that a salesperson receives as commission for the order. Your company can use sales credits to report on salesperson performance, report on achieving quota, to assist with calculating compensation, and to assist with forecasting according to territory. You can use the Manage Sales Credits dialog to set the following percentages. Sales Credit Assignment Description Revenue Percentage Specify the percentage of the total revenue that the salesperson receives as commission for work they performed that is directly related to selling this sales order. You must distribute exactly 100% of the total revenue of the sales order. For example, assume the revenue for a sales order is $100 and you add two salespeople in the Manage Sales Credits dialog. If you set the revenue percentage for one salesperson to 60, then you must set the revenue percentage for the other salesperson to 40. If you add only one salesperson, then you must set the revenue percentage for this salesperson to 100. Nonrevenue Percentage Specify the percentage of the total revenue that the salesperson receives as commission for work they performed that is not directly related to selling this sales order. For example, for revenue from a sales bonus. You can specify a distribution of the percentage that is equal to any fraction of the total revenue of the sales order. Your order administrator defines each salesperson in Trading Community Architecture as an internal resource who is a member of a sales organization. Order Management then displays the salespeople who are related to the business unit in the Manage Sales Credits dialog. Consult your company policies to determine the salespeople you must add and the percentages to enter. Order Management sends the sales credit information that you specify to Oracle Fusion Receivables, which then sends this information to Oracle Fusion Incentive Compensation so that it can pay the commission. For details about sales credits, revenue percentage, and nonrevenue percentage, ask your order administrator. Related Topics Managing Sales Orders: Overview 13

20 Chapter 2 Managing Sales Orders Validating Sales Orders: Procedure Order Management Cloud automatically validates your sales order when you click Submit, but you can also manually validate it before you click Submit. Validation examines your sales order for a variety of possible errors, such as errors that are related to constraints, pricing, configuration, or tax processing. It also makes sure you include a value for each required attribute. Validate a sales order: In the Navigator, click Order Management. On the Overview page, click Create Order. On the Create Order page, complete the sales order, click Actions, and then click Validate. In the Warning dialog, click Yes. If the validation finishes: Without error. In the Confirmation dialog, click OK. You can submit your sales order. With error. Fix each error that the Error dialog displays, and then click Validate again. Order Management Cloud adds an error or warning icon to the order header immediately to the left of the Total attribute, and to each order line that contains an error. It also keeps the sales order in Draft status. You can click the warning icon to get details about the error. Getting Approvals for Sales Orders: Explained As an option, your order administrator might set up the Order Management work area so someone must approve your sales order before sending it to order fulfillment, according to an approval rule. 14

21 Chapter 2 Managing Sales Orders The following example includes one Order Entry Specialist and three approvers. Order Management can route the sales order to each approver, and track approval status while each approver finishes approval. Approver Order Entry Specialist Approver Approver How Approval Works Assume the sales order total exceeds $10,000, and that the order administrator set up the following approval rule. If the sales order total exceeds $10,000, then get approval. Send the approval request to your manager. 15

22 Chapter 2 Managing Sales Orders The following flow illustrates approval for this example. Explanation of Callouts Approval includes the following steps. 1. You create a sales order in the Order Management work area, and then click Submit. 2. If your order administrator set up approvals, and if this sales order meets an approval rule, then Order Management sets the status to Approval Pending, locks the sales order so you cannot edit it, adds a lock icon immediately to the right of the order status, and then sends a notification to the approver. To get details about the current state of the approval process, in the order header, click View Approval Information. 16

23 Chapter 2 Managing Sales Orders 3. Order Management adds a notification to page Pending Notifications that displays in the approver's work area. The approver can approve or reject the approval request. 4. If the approver. Approves. Order Management sets the order status to Processing, and then sends the sales order to order fulfillment. Rejects. Order Management unlocks the sales order, sets the order status to Draft, allows the approver to add a comment, and then sends the sales order back to you for rework. 5. If the approver rejects the approval request, then Order Management displays a comment that the approver added. It displays this comment as a note in tab Approval Notes of your sales order. You can now modify the sales order, as necessary, and then resubmit it to restart the approval process. The approval rule in this topic is only one example. Your order administrator might set up a variety of approval rules and different approvers. For example. A rule might test for the value of other attributes, such as quantity, a price override, and so on. Approvers might include more than one person, or a group of people, such as a Sales Manager and a Sales Director. Approval Notes might display details for each approver. If your order administrator also sets up credit check, the credit check occurs first, and then approval. For details about credit check, see topic Releasing Holds for Order Lines That Fail Credit Check: Procedure. Ask your order administrator for details about how approvals work for your company. Related Topics Order Management Statuses: Explained Creating Sales Orders That Require Trade Compliance Screening: Procedure Your order administrator might set up Order Management so that it screens sales order for trade compliance. This topic describes how to create a sales order that requires trade compliance. If your order administrator has not set up trade compliance, then Order Management does not display some of the elements that this topic describes. Create a sales order that undergoes trade compliance screening: 1. In the Navigator, click Order Management. 2. On the Overview page, click Tasks, and then click Create Order. For details, see Creating Sales Orders: Procedure. 3. On the Create Order page, complete the order header, add an order line, and then click Submit. 17

24 Chapter 2 Managing Sales Orders If Order Management screens sales order for trade compliance, then the order header displays a status of Trade Compliance Screening Is Pending and a lock icon. For example: The lock icon indicates that Order Management is screening the sales order to determine whether or not it meets the trade compliance policies that your order administrator set up. 4. Click Refresh. Notice that the sales order status is Processing, which indicates the sale order passed trade compliance screening and Order Management released it to order fulfillment. For example: Note the following points: Order Management typically finishes screening without delay. However, some screening might require up to several minutes or more to finish. If necessary, click Refresh again until the status changes. If the sales order has not yet moved to order fulfillment, then you can cancel the submit for a locked sales order that Order Management is processing. Click Actions, and then click Revert to Draft. Order Management will set the order status to Draft and stop the screening. 5. Notice the value of the Trade Compliance Status attribute. Order Management uses the following colors to indicate trade compliance status. Color Status Description Green Passed The sales order passed trade compliance screening. Red Failed The sales order failed trade compliance screening because it does not comply with one or more trade compliance policies. Yellow Under Review A compliance manager is examining the sales order. 6. Click View Details next to Trade Compliance Status.

Related Topics Managing Trade Compliance: Overview Fixing Problems and Improving Fulfillment Performance: Procedure Managing Imported Orders: Explained Some organizations import source orders from another order management system into Order Management Cloud. You can manage these imported orders in Order Management the same way that you manage a sales order that you create in Order Management. Order Management handles an imported order in the same way that it handles a source order that you create in Order Management. For example, you can edit an imported order, and then submit it. You cannot export a sales order to the source 20

27 Chapter 2 Managing Sales Orders system, and Order Management does not update the source system with any modifications that it makes to a sales order. However, the source system can request details about the order status. The order title displays information about the source order. For example, consider the following order title: Source Order BAT-ALOP LEG Currency = US Dollar where: BAT-ALOP is the source order number. LEG is the name of the source system. For example, LEG is an abbreviation for the term legacy. Some organizations use the phrase legacy system to describe an older order management system that they are replacing with a newer one. Currency = US Dollar identifies the currency that the source order uses. Order Management uses currency so that it can interpret pricing values. If the source order includes a revision number, then it also displays this number. To identify the source system for a sales order: On the Overview page, enter the order number in the Search field, and then press ENTER on your keyboard. On the Manage Orders page, in the Order column, click the order number. On the Order page, click Actions, and then click Switch to Fulfillment View. Examine the fields that identify information about the source system, such as Source Order System.

28 Chapter 2 Managing Sales Orders Adding Coverage to Sales Orders: Explained You can add a coverage item, such as a warranty, to a sales order. For example, your customer might purchase a five year service agreement as the coverage item for a refrigerator, and the refrigerator is the covered item. You ship the covered item, and then a field service technician provides service on the refrigerator, as needed. For example. Coverage Item Covered Item One Year Parts Warranty Sentinel Hard Drive 30 Day Online Phone Support Sentinel Software Suite You can manage coverage items in the following ways. Add coverage to a covered item that is in the same sales order. Add coverage to a covered item that is in a different, closed sales order. Add more than one coverage item to one covered item. For example, you can add one coverage item that covers parts for a laptop computer, and then add another coverage item that covers service for the same laptop computer. Use attribute Contract Start Date to specify when to start coverage. Modify a coverage item, including billing frequency. Cancel a coverage item that Order Management has not yet sent to order fulfillment. Return a coverage item that Order Management already fulfilled. 22

29 Chapter 2 Managing Sales Orders You can add the following types of coverage. Extended Warranty Software Maintenance Service Level Agreement Preventive Maintenance You cannot add coverage in the following situations. Coverage for an item that you cannot cover. For example, you cannot add preventive maintenance to an extended warranty. Coverage for a service that does not recur, for installation, or for training. Coverage for only part of the quantity on the order line. Pricing according to the number of service request calls. Order line that includes a coverage item that covers more than one covered item. A coverage line can cover only one covered item. Coverage item that covers only part of the coverage duration. Coverage item that covers another coverage item. Coverage item that is also a configured item. Coverage for a configure option when another coverage item already covers the configured item. Coverage item that is not enabled for contract coverage. Your administrator might enable an item for contract coverage. If the status of the covered order line is Shipped, Invoiced, or Delivered, then you cannot revise the coverage line that covers this covered line. Adding Coverage to Sales Orders: Procedure You can add a coverage item for a covered item in the same sales order, or in a different sales order. You can add coverage to a new sales order, or to a sales order that you already submitted to order fulfillment. In this example, you add covered item PTO Sentinel Personal Desktop Computer to a sales order, and then add coverage item Variable Extended Warranty for Sentinel Desktop in the same sales order. This topic includes example values. You might use different values, depending on your business requirements. Add coverage to a sales order In the Navigator, click Order Management. On the Overview page, click Tasks, and then click Create Order. On the Create Order page, complete the order header. In the Order Lines area, search for the following item, and then click Add. Item Description PTO54222 PTO Sentinel Personal Desktop Computer 23

30 Chapter 2 Managing Sales Orders The PTO Sentinel Personal Desktop Computer is the covered item. You must add the covered item before you add the coverage item. 5. In the Order Lines area, click Search (the magnifying glass). 6. In the Search and Select dialog, enter the following value, and then click Search. Attribute Value Description Warranty 7. Choose the warranty you require, Variable Extended Warranty for Sentinel Desktop, and then click OK. 8. Click Select Covered Item. The Order Lines area displays Select Covered Item only if your search returns a coverage item. If the search does not return the coverage item that you require, then contact your order administrator. 9. In the Select Covered Item dialog, choose Current Order, set the following values, and then click Add. Attribute Description Order Line Choose PTO Sentinel Personal Desktop Computer. Contract Start Date Specify when to start coverage. For this example, accept the current date, which is the default value. You order lines should resemble the following lines. 10. Click Submit, and then, in the Confirmation dialog, click OK. 11. Click Actions, and then click Switch to Fulfillment View. 12. On the Order page, click Fulfillment Lines. Note the following points. The Fulfillment Lines tab displays one fulfillment line for the covered item and one fulfillment line for the coverage item, and includes attributes that are specific to the coverage item, such as Duration, Period, Contract Start Date, Contract End Date, and Sales Product Type. The Associated Order Line link navigates you to the item that the coverage item covers. 13. In the fulfillment line for the coverage item, in the Orchestration Process Number column, click the link. 14. On the Orchestration Process page, on the Orchestration Plan tab, notice that the Status for each shipping task, such as Schedule, Reserve, or Ship, is Not Applicable. 24

31 Chapter 2 Managing Sales Orders Note that a warranty is not a shippable item, so the orchestration process does not attempt to ship it. For example. How Order Management Calculates Amounts for Coverage Items Order Management automatically sets the quantity of the coverage line to the quantity of the covered line. It then multiples this quantity by the price on the covered line. In the following example, this calculation is Quantity of 2 multiplied by price of 100 equals an Amount of 200. Setting the Duration and Period Some coverage items might allow you to modify the Duration and Duration Period, depending on how your order administrator sets them up. For example, assume your customer requests to purchase only one month of Variable Extended Warranty for Sentinel Desktop instead of the default 5 years. The following example illustrates this usage. 25

32 Chapter 2 Managing Sales Orders Adding Coverage to Sales Orders That You Already Submitted In this example, you add coverage item Gold Extended Warranty to an order line on sales order , which is a sales order that you already submitted. Add coverage to sales orders that you already submitted On the Overview page, click Tasks, and then click Create Order. On the Create Order page, complete the order header.

For example On the Create Order page, click Submit. Click Actions, and then click Switch to Fulfillment View. On the Order page, click Fulfillment Lines. On the Fulfillment Lines tab, in the 1-1 row, notice the following values. Attribute Value Order In the 1-1 row, in the Orchestration Process Number column, click the link. 26

33 Chapter 2 Managing Sales Orders 18. On the Orchestration Process page, notice that the Status for the Schedule, Reserve, and Ship tasks is Not Applicable. A warranty is not a physical item, the warehouse does not hold physical inventory for it, so it is not necessary to schedule, reserve, or ship it. Changing Coverage for Sales Orders: Explained You can change some parts of a coverage item in a sales order. If you change the quantity of the covered order line, then the Order Management work area automatically changes the quantity of the coverage line. For example, assume an order line for the Sentinel Desktop computer includes a quantity of 2, and coverage line that covers this computer also includes a quantity of 2 because a separate warranty is required to cover each of the two Sentinel Desktop computers. If you change the quantity on the order line for the Sentinel Desktop from 2 to 1, then Order Management will change the quantity on coverage line from 2 to 1. Splitting Fulfillment Lines If you split a fulfillment line that includes a covered item, then Order Management also splits the coverage item. For example, assume you create an order line for the Sentinel Desktop that includes a quantity of 2, and then add one coverage line that includes an Extended Warranty, also with a quantity of 2. If you split the fulfillment line for the Sentinel Desktop into two separate lines, each with a quantity of 1, then Order Management also splits the coverage line into two fulfillment lines, one each with a quantity of 1. If order management splits the covered line during order fulfillment, then it can add a new coverage item to each of the covered lines that result from the split. Note that an order import cannot add a new coverage to the entire sales order. For example, assume a sales order includes 10 units of a laptop on a single order line. Assume Order Management splits the fulfillment line into fulfillment line x with a quantity of six, and fulfillment line y with a quantity of four. In this situation, order import cannot add an extended warranty for 10 units. However, you can split fulfillment line x in Order Management, and then add six units of the extended warranty. Canceling Coverage for Sales Orders: Procedure If a sales order is in Processing status, then you can cancel coverage for the sales order. If the sales order is in Closed status or Partially Closed status, then you must return the covered item. For details, see Returning Covered Items: Explained. Note the following points: The same rules apply when determining whether to cancel or return a coverage item that apply when canceling or returning an item. For example, if the sales order is in Processing status, then you must cancel it. If the sales order is in Closed status or Partially Closed status, then you must return it. For details, see Canceling Sales Orders: Procedure and Returning Sales Orders: Procedure. You can cancel coverage but not return the covered item. For example, a customer might decide to cancel a six month warranty for a laptop computer during the third month of the warranty period, but keep the laptop computer, which is the covered item. If you cancel only the coverage item, and do not return the covered item, then the Order Management work area sets the return quantity of the coverage item to the returnable quantity. You cannot change this value. If Order Management already fulfilled the coverage item, then you must create a separate return order to return it. 27

34 Chapter 2 Managing Sales Orders In this example, you cancel the coverage item but do not return the covered item. This topic includes example values. You might use different values, depending on your business requirements. Cancel coverage for a sales order: In the Navigator, click Order Management. On the Overview page, click Tasks, and then click Manage Orders. On the Manage Orders page, search for the sales order that includes the coverage you must cancel. In the Search Results, in the Order column, click the link to the sales order that contains the coverage you must cancel. On the Order page, click Actions, and then click Create Revision. In the Order Lines area, in the row that includes the coverage item you must cancel, click the down arrow at the far right of the line, and then click Cancel Line. In the Cancel Line dialog, choose a reason, and then click OK. On the Order page, click Submit. Order Management cancels the coverage line, and then prorates the portion of the coverage item that the customer did not use as a credit memo. For example, assume the customer purchased a coverage item for a 12 month warranty for $120. Each month costs $10. Assume the customer cancels the warranty in the middle of the sixth month of the warranty period. Order Management fulfilled six months of the warranty, so Order Management creates a credit memo in the amount of $60. Related Topics Canceling Sales Orders: Procedure Returning Sales Orders: Procedure Returning Covered Items: Explained If the sales order is in Closed status or Partially Closed status, then you can return a covered item that the sales order references. You return a covered item in the same way that you return an item that is not covered. For details, see Returning Sales Orders: Procedure. The Order Management work area does the following work when you return a covered item: Cancels all coverage items for this covered item, even if these coverage items reside on different sales orders. Sets the return quantity of the coverage item to the same value as the return quantity of the covered item. If you change the return quantity of the covered item, then Order Management also changes the return quantity of the coverage item. Refunds the account when it receives the returned item. Note the following points: Order Management uses a credit memo to prorate the portion of the coverage item that the customer did not use. For example, assume the customer purchased a coverage item for a 12 month warranty for $120. Each month costs $10. Assume the customer cancels the warranty in the middle of the sixth month of the warranty period. Order Management fulfilled six months of the warranty, so Order Management creates a credit memo in the amount of $60. If the coverage item includes recurring charges, then accounts receivables prorates and credits the remaining amount for the current period, and then cancels future invoices according to the coverage end date. 28

35 Chapter 2 Managing Sales Orders Making Complex Cancellations and Returns In some situations, you might need to cancel or return multiple coverage items for the same covered item. For example, assume the following Sentinel Desktop Computer includes two coverage items. Assume you added the service warranty when you created sales order 00001, but you added the parts warranty sometime later in a separate sales order after Order Management fulfilled the Sentinel Desktop Computer. Sales Order Order Line Item Quantity Associated Order Line Sentinel Desktop Computer 10 Not Applicable :1 Service Warranty 10 Order 1, line Parts Warranty 10 Order 1, line 1 Returning Some of the Covered Items Assume you return a quantity of 2 of the Sentinel Desktop Computer. In this situation, the Associated Order Line references the return order so Order Management can process the covered item and the coverage items together. Return Order Order Line Item Quantity Associated Order Line Original Order Sentinel Desktop Computer 2 Not applicable Order 1, line Service Warranty 2 Order 3 line 1 Order 1, line Parts Warranty 2 Order 3, line 1 Order 2, line 1 Returning the Remaining Part of the Parts Warranty Some time later, assume you must return the remaining part of the Parts Warranty coverage. You can use the Order Page to locate sales order 00002, and then return only order line 1 of sales order Note that you cannot change the quantity to return. You must return the remaining quantity that you have not already returned. Item Quantity to Return Returnable Quantity Associated Order Line Original Order Parts Warranty 8 8 Order 1, line 1 2 The resulting return sales order will resemble the following values. Note that Associated Order Line references the sales order that originally contained the covered item because sales order does not contain the covered item.

36 Chapter 2 Return Order Managing Sales Orders Order Line Item Quantity Associated Order Line Original Order Returning More Covered Items Next, assume some time later you start a return for a quantity of one more Sentinel Desktop Computer, and encounter the following values in a dialog. The dialog does not display details about Parts Warranty because you already returned the entire quantity for Parts Warranty. Item Quantity to Return Returnable Quantity Associated Order Line Original Order AS Not applicable 1 Service Warranty Covers line 1 Read only 8 Order 1, line 1 1 This return order will resemble the following values. Note that Associated Order Line references the return order so Order Management can process the covered item and the coverage item together. Return Order Order Line Item Quantity Associated Order Line Original Order Sentinel Desktop Computer 1 Not applicable Order 1, line Service Warranty 2 Order 5, line 1 Order 1, line 1.1 Related Topics Returning Sales Orders: Procedure Using Configure and Add on Order Lines: Explained Revising Sales Orders That You Already Submitted: Procedure Fulfilling Configured Items: Explained Managing Coverage for Configured Items: Explained You can add a coverage item to a configured item. Note the following points: You add coverage to a configured item in the same way that you add coverage to an item that is not configured. For details, see Adding Coverage to Sales Orders: Procedure. You can add coverage to a configured item. You can also add coverage to each configure option, depending on how the Order Administrator sets up coverage for the item. If you change coverage for a configured item, then the Order Management work area applies the change to each configure option that the coverage can cover. 30

37 Chapter 2 Managing Sales Orders If you delete a configure option, and if a coverage item covers the configure option, then Order Management also deletes the coverage item. If you reconfigure a configured item, then Order Management reapplies the coverage. For example, if you add configure option blue, and then delete configure option red, then Order Management adds coverage to blue and deletes coverage from red. If you return a configured item, and if a coverage item covers this configured item, then Order Management cancels the coverage item that covers the configured item, and also cancels any coverage items that cover the configure options. You can cancel coverage for a configured item but not return the configured item. Changing Quantity If you change the quantity of the covered order line, then Order Management automatically changes the quantity of the coverage line. For example, assume an order line for the Sentinel Desktop computer includes a quantity of 2, and coverage line that covers this computer also includes a quantity of 2 because each of the two Sentinel Desktop computers require a separate warranty. If you change the quantity on the order line for the Sentinel Desktop from 2 to 1, then Order Management will change the quantity on coverage line from 2 to 1. Splitting Fulfillment Lines If you split a fulfillment line that includes a covered item, then Order Management also splits the coverage item. For example, assume you create an order line for the Sentinel Desktop that includes a quantity of 2, and then add one coverage line that includes an Extended Warranty, also with a quantity of 2. If you split the fulfillment line for the Sentinel Desktop into two separate lines, each with a quantity of 1, then Order Management also splits the coverage line into two fulfillment lines, one each with a quantity of 1. If order management splits the covered line during order fulfillment, then it can add a new coverage item to each of the covered lines that result from the split. Note that an order import cannot add a new coverage to the entire sales order. For example, assume a sales order includes 10 units of a laptop on a single order line. Assume Order Management splits the fulfillment line into fulfillment line x with a quantity of six, and fulfillment line y with a quantity of four. In this situation, order import cannot add an extended warranty for 10 units. However, you can split fulfillment line x in the Order Management work area, and then add six units of the extended warranty. Related Topics Using Configure and Add on Order Lines: Explained Revising Sales Orders That You Already Submitted: Procedure Fulfilling Configured Items: Explained Adding Subscriptions to Sales Orders: Procedure A subscription is an item that provides a product or service that recurs. For example, a one year subscription to a magazine, a 90 day subscription for cell phone service, and a six month subscription for software usage are each an example of a subscription. You can add a subscription to a sales order. The following items are some examples of subscriptions: Chill Music Monthly Yearly Subscription to Picture Is Worth 1000 Words Magazine 31

38 Chapter 2 Managing Sales Orders Monthly Cosmetics Sampler Quarterly Local Car Share Note the following points about subscriptions: A coverage item can cover a subscription. Depending on the subscription, you can order a subscription by itself without including a coverage item that covers the subscription. For example, a coverage item does not typically cover a simple weekly magazine subscription. Depending on the subscription, you can order a subscription as a covered item, and then add a coverage item that covers some aspect of the subscription. For example, a subscription to a cloud application is the covered item, and up time is the coverage item. In some situations, you can change, cancel, or return a subscription. In this example, a customer needs five subscriptions of the same magazine, one subscription for each person in their department. The subscription period lasts for one week and recurs 52 times, resulting in a subscription that lasts for one year. The subscription uses a weekly period so that the customer can cancel at any time and incur a bill only for the weeks that they received the magazine. This topic includes example values. You might use different values, depending on your business requirements. Add a subscription to a sales order: In the Navigator, click Order Management. On the Overview page, click Tasks, and then click Create Order. On the Create Order page, complete the order header. In the Order Lines area, search for the following item, and then click Add. Field Value Select Item Subscription to Visions Magazine 5. Set the following values. Attribute Quantity Description Set this attribute to 5. Note the following points: This values sets the number of subscriptions. In this example, if you set Quantity to 5, then you are selling five subscriptions to Visions Magazine. Quantity does not affect UOM. For example, if you set Quantity to 5, and if UOM is Week, then you are not specifying 5 weeks. UOM Set the time period. The values you can choose depend on how your order administrator sets up the subscription. This example uses a Fixed subscription, so you cannot change the UOM. Contract Start Date Specify when to start the subscription. Contract End Date As an option, specify when to end the subscription. 32

39 Chapter 2 Managing Sales Orders Attribute Description Billing Frequency A subscription can bill one time or it can recur. For example, assume your customer orders a subscription for one software license for 100 users with a three year duration. You can bill this customer one time for the entire purchase, depending on how your order administrator sets up the subscription. Your order line should resemble the following example. Note that Order Management performs the following calculation: Quantity of 5 multiplied by Your Price of 5 multiplied by Duration of 52 equals $ Click Submit, and then, in the Confirmation dialog, click OK. 7. Click Actions, and then click Switch to Fulfillment View. 8. On the Order page, click Fulfillment Lines. Note the following points: The Fulfillment Lines tab displays one fulfillment line for the covered item and one fulfillment line for the coverage item, and includes attributes that are specific to the coverage item, such as Duration, Period, Contract Start Date, Contract End Date, and Sales Product Type. Fulfillment for a subscription can recur. For example, a weekly magazine fulfills one time each week. Associated Order Line links to the item that the coverage item covers.

Step Description Math 1 Calculate percent discount. 10% multiplied by $250 List Price equals $25 discount. 2 Subtract percent discount. $250 minus $25 equals $225 Net Price. 3 Subtract amount discount. $225 Net Price minus $10 equals final Net Price of $215. Assume you click the up arrow next to the number 2 to move discount amount to the top. 41

48 Chapter 3 Managing Order Lines The dialog calculates price in steps. Step Description Math 1 Subtract amount discount. $250 minus $10 equals $240 Net Price. 2 Calculate 10% discount. 10% multiplied by $240 Net Price equals $24 discount. 3 Calculate final Net Price. $240 minus $24 equals $216. Related Topics Creating Sales Orders: Procedure Using Recurring Charges on Order Lines: Explained If you add an order line that includes a recurring charge, then Order Management Cloud uses text in the Your Price field to indicate this charge. For example, the following value describes a recurring charge of $1, that occurs every month: 1, per Month If an order line includes a recurring charge, then Order Management sums only the one-time charges on this order line. It does not include the recurring charge in the Amount field of the order line. If an order line includes only a recurring charge, then Order Management displays a value of 0 in the Amount field. A recurring charge occurs in a specific time period, but the total includes only the amount that is currently due. This time period might occur sometime after the date when the amount is due. 42

49 Chapter 3 Managing Order Lines Related Topics Creating Sales Orders: Procedure Editing Recurring Billing: Procedure Editing Recurring Billing: Example Using Configure and Add on Order Lines: Explained You can use the Configure page to choose options from a list of options for a configured item. The Configure page enforces constraints while you configure the item. These constraints make sure the configure options that you choose work together correctly. You can add your configured item to the sales order right away, or save it for later. If your search for an item on the Order Lines tab of a sales order returns a configured item, then Order Management Cloud displays the Configure and Add button. Click it to display the Configure page and add the configured item. For example, assume your company sells computers. You can use the Configure page to make sure the components that you add to a computer work correctly with one another, such as the type of hard drive, how much memory you can add, the software you can include, and the type of wireless hardware you can include. For another example, assume your company sells wireless telephone services. You can use the Configure page to make sure the services that you add to a wireless service plan work together correctly, such as international service, international texting, or high-speed data access. Note the following points: Order Management adds a pencil icon immediately toward the right of the item on the order line after you use the Configure page. You can click it to modify a configured item. You might not be able to change the quantity for some options on the Configure page, depending on how your order administrator sets up the configured item. For example, if the configured item is a laptop computer, and if this computer can accommodate only one hard drive, then your order administrator might set up the Configure page so that you can add only a single hard drive to the item. For details about the configure option that you can choose for a configured item, ask your order administrator. You can view a configured item in the Fulfillment view just like any other item after you submit the sales order. Related Topics Creating Sales Orders: Procedure Editing Tax on Order Lines: Procedure You can modify tax details and then apply them to each order line. Some actions in Order Management might result in a change to the tax details you can view. For example, assume you split a fulfillment line, Order Management lists a new warehouse, and this warehouse uses tax details that are different from the tax details that the previous warehouse uses. Your order administrator might constrain the changes you can make that affect tax values. Edit tax details: 1. In the Navigator, click Order Management. 43

50 Chapter Managing Order Lines On the Overview page, click Create Order. On the Create Order page, choose a value in the Customer attribute, such as Computer Service and Rentals. On the Order Lines tab, add an item. Click the down arrow on the order line, and then click Edit Tax Determinants. Edit the following attributes, as necessary. Attribute Description Taxation Country Select the country that will collect the tax for this sales order. This is typically the country where the customer receives the item. First-Party Tax Registration Number Defaults to the tax registration number that your order administrator sets up for the legal reporting unit that is the first-party. This unit is associated with the customer that you choose in the Customer attribute. The tax registration includes details related to a tax obligation that the customer incurs with a tax authority that resides in the tax jurisdiction where the customer receives the item. Registering the details of a business with the tax authorities is an important legal requirement in many countries. You can assign a unique tax registration number to the parties that register with the tax authorities. These authorities use it to reference and track the tax implications for the party. A tax document, such as an invoice or tax return, typically references the registration number of the parties involved in a transaction.

53 Chapter 4 4 Managing Shipment and Billing Details Managing Shipment and Billing Details Managing Shipment and Billing Details: Explained You can use the shipment and billing details tab in the Order Management work area to manage shipment details, such as estimating availability or shipping lines in a set, or to manage billing details, such as editing recurring billing, managing credit cards, and managing payments. Editing Disabled Billing and Payment Details Order Management might disable some attributes on the Billing and Payment Details tab. For example, you must choose the Bill-to Location before you can choose the Bill-to Contact, and you must choose the Bill-to Contact before you can choose the Bill-to Method. Order Management might also disable some attributes depending on the value that you choose in the Customer attribute. For example, your order administrator might set up the customer so it uses only one Bill-to Location. Adding Modified Values to a Shipment or Billing Attribute Order Management allows you to choose values for some attributes according to the value that you choose for the Customer attribute. For example, it only displays contacts in the Bill-to Contact attribute who are associated with the customer. This behavior also occurs with the Bill-to Location, Ship-to Contact, Ship-to Method, Warehouse, Supplier, and so on. If you cannot find the value you require in one of these attributes, then ask your order administrator. Editing Accounting Details You can use the following attributes in the Edit Accounting Details dialog to specify how Order Management sends accounting details to Oracle Accounts Receivables. Attribute Description Accounting Rule Set the revenue recognition to send to Oracle Accounts Receivables for the invoice line. If you specify the accounting rule, then Oracle Accounts Receivables will use the value you specify instead of the default value it uses. Invoicing Rule Set the time frame to send to Oracle Accounts Receivables. This time frame determines when to recognize receivables when the invoice includes more than one accounting period. If you specify the invoicing rule, then Oracle Accounts Receivables will use the value you specify instead of the default value it uses. Receivables Transaction Define the accounting for the debit memos, credit memos, on-account credits, and invoices that Oracle Accounts Receivables creates. Specify whether your transaction entries update customer balances and whether Oracle Accounts Receivables posts these transactions to your general ledger. Oracle Accounts Receivables does not use a default value for the receivables transaction. It will use the value you specify. 47

54 Chapter 4 Managing Shipment and Billing Details Shipment Estimating Availability for Sales Orders: Procedure You can click Estimate Order Availability on the Shipment Details tab to estimate the earliest delivery date for each order line according to the customer and shipment attributes that you specify. Order Management Cloud displays this status in the Availability Status field. Use Estimate Order Availability when you must determine whether or not Order Management can fulfill the sales order before you submit it. The order fulfillment environment is constantly changing. For example, other sales orders might reserve the inventory that is available to fulfill your sales order, freight carriers might experience variation in their delivery times, and so on. So the availability status provides only an estimate according to the conditions that exist when you click Estimate Order Availability. When you submit the order, Order Management fulfills the sales order according to the conditions that exist in the order fulfillment environment at that moment, so the actual delivery time might be different than the estimate. Estimate order availability: In the Navigator, click Order Management. On the Overview page, click Tasks, and then click Create Order. On the Create Order page, add a value in the Customer attribute. In the Order Lines area, search for an item, and then click Add. Click Shipment Details. Click Estimate Order Availability. Order Management displays one of the following values in the Availability Status column according to the customer and shipment attributes that you specify. Availability Status Description On Time Order Management can fulfill the order line on time. Delay of x Days Order Management can fulfill the order line, but only after a delay. For example, a status of Delay of 5 Days indicates that Order Management will fulfill the sales order five days after the Requested Date. Supply Not Available Order Management cannot fulfill the order line. No Data Was Retrieved An error exists in the data or in the application setup. For details, ask your order administrator. Modifying Attributes That Affect Availability Status The following attributes affect availability status. If the Availability Status displays a delay, and if the customer cannot accept this delay, or if the status indicates that Order Management cannot fulfill the sales order, then you can modify one or more of the following attributes, and then click Estimate Order Availability again. Order Management updates and then displays the updated status when you adjust one of these attributes. 48

55 Chapter 4 Managing Shipment and Billing Details Attribute Adjustment You Can Make to Reduce Delay Request Type Set to Arrive On. Requested Date Set to a later date. Shipping Method Set to a faster method. For example, change it from standard ground shipping to overnight priority shipping. Ship Lines Together Set to No. For details, see Ship Lines Together: Procedure Latest Acceptable Date Set to a later date. Allow Partial Shipments of Lines Set to Yes. For details, see Specifying Shipping Details: Explained. Shipment Priority Set to Yes. For details, see Shipment Priority: Procedure. Warehouse Set to a warehouse that is physically closer to the Ship-to Address, or who maintains a superior fulfillment performance. Supplier Set to a supplier who is physically closer to the Ship-to Address, or who maintains a superior fulfillment performance. Supplier Site Set to a supplier site that is physically closer to the Ship-to Address. Demand Class Set to a higher priority. Allow Item Substitution Set to Yes. Ship-to Address Set to an address that is physically closer to the warehouse or the supplier. Shipment Set Leave empty. For example, the following values that you set for the Request Type affects how Order Management calculates the Availability Status. Order Management will attempt to reduce or remove the delay for either value that you choose: Ship On. Order Management uses the date when it expects to ship the order line from the fulfillment source. Arrive On. Order Management uses the date when it expects the order line to arrive at the customer site. In this example, assume the transit time is long for some reason. You can set the Request Type to Ship On to reduce or remove the delay. For another example, assume you click Estimate Order Availability, and then the Availability Status field displays a delay for one or more order lines. If you set Ship Lines Together to: Yes. Click Estimate Order Availability, then Order Management sets all lines to the order line that contains the longest delay. 49

56 Chapter 4 Managing Shipment and Billing Details No. Click Estimate Order Availability, then Order Management sets the Availability Status differently for each individual order line. Setting Ship Lines Together to No in this situation can help fulfill the sales order if the customer accepts receiving the order lines individually in separate shipments. How Order Management Calculates Availability Status Order Management communicates with Global Order Promising to calculate the availability status. Global Order Promising does the following work: Determines the total inventory Subtracts the committed inventory from the total inventory Subtracts the expected ship date of the sales order from the expected arrival date of the sales order Calculates the time required to ship the item from the warehouse to the customer Calculates, and then communicates the availability status to Order Management Related Topics Creating Sales Orders: Procedure Transforming Order Lines to Fulfillment Lines: How it Works Setting Up Fulfillment Line Statuses: Explained Overriding Shipment Details: Procedure Order Management Cloud automatically enters shipment details for a sales order according to the customer that you specify. You can override these details for each order line. Override shipment details for an order line: In the Navigator, click Order Management. On the Overview page, click Tasks, and then click Create Order. On the Create Order page, add a value in the Customer attribute. In the Order Lines area, search for an item, and then click Add. Click Shipment Details. In the Availability Status column, click the down arrow, and then click Override Order Line. In the Override Order Line dialog, set values for the attributes that you must override, and then click OK. Note the following points: Order Management will use the override values that you provide only for this order line. If you must override values for other order lines, then you must use the Override Order Line dialog for each order line. If you override a value, and then modify a value in the order header, or in the header area of a tab, then Order Management does not remove your override. For example, assume you override the Bill-to Customer and the Requested Date in an order line. Assume you then modify the Bill-to Customer in the order header, and you also modify the Requested Date in the header area of the Shipment Details tab. Order Management will continue to use your override values for these attributes. If you prefer to use the values from the headers in this situation, then you must remove the override, and then modify the value in the header. You cannot set the value for some attributes in the Override Order Line dialog until you set the value for another attribute. For example, you must set the Ship-to Customer attribute before you can set the Ship-to Address attribute. Order Management automatically sets an override in the following situations: You set Allow Partial Shipments to No. 50

57 Chapter 4 Managing Shipment and Billing Details If you do not set the Shipping Method, Warehouse, or Supplier on the Shipment Details tab, and if you click Submit, then order fulfillment sets the value for each of these attributes, and Order Management overrides them with the values that order fulfillment sets. It also displays the Override icon on the View Order page and the Revise Order page for each order line that contains an override. Related Topics Creating Sales Orders: Procedure Transforming Order Lines to Fulfillment Lines: How it Works Shipping Order Lines in Shipment Sets: Procedure You can use the Shipment Set attribute to add a shipment set. Order Management will ship together all the order lines that reside in the same shipment set. This feature is useful when the customer must receive all the order lines that a shipment set references in the same shipment but can receive other order lines separately or as part of another shipment set. You can create multiple shipment sets for a single sales order. In this topic, you will add four order lines, and you will ship three of them together in one shipment set. This topic includes example values. You might use different values, depending on your business requirements. Ship order lines in a shipment set: In the Navigator, click Order Management. On the Overview page, click Tasks, and then click Create Order. On the Create Order page, add a value in the Customer attribute. In the Order Lines area, search for an item, such as Sentinel S Tablet, and then click Add. Repeat step 4 three more times to add the following items: AS92888 Envoy Laptop Computer VI74953 desk CM15140 Monitor - 19" You can add a shipment set even if your sales order includes only one order line. To demonstrate this feature, it is recommended that you add at least four order lines. For this example, assume you must ship the laptop computer, desk, and monitor together in one shipment set, and you must ship the tablet in a separate shipment. 6. Click Shipment Details. 7. Add an order line to a new shipment set: In the AS92888 Envoy Laptop Computer order line, click the down arrow, and then click Override Order Line. In the Override Order Line dialog, click Shipment Set, and then click Create. In the Create Shipment Set dialog, enter a name, such as Ship Set 1, and then click OK. You can enter any alphanumeric text for the name. In the Override Order Line dialog, click OK. 8. Add an order line to a shipment set: In the VI74953 desk order line, click the down arrow, and then click Override Order Line. In the Override Order Line dialog, set Shipment Set to Ship Set 1, and then click OK. 9. Repeat step 8 for the CM15140 Monitor - 19" order line. 51

58 Chapter 4 Managing Shipment and Billing Details Order Management will ship the AS92888 Envoy Laptop Computer, VI74953 desk, and CM15140 Monitor - 19" in one shipment, and will ship the Sentinel S Tablet in a separate shipment. Related Topics Creating Sales Orders: Procedure Transforming Order Lines to Fulfillment Lines: How it Works Shipping Order Lines Together: Explained If you set Ship Lines Together to No, then Order Management will ship each order line separately when the order line becomes available instead of waiting until all lines are available for shipping. Setting Ship Lines Together to No might increase shipping costs for the entire sales order, but it can reduce the time required to ship a single order line. Set Ship Lines Together to Yes if the customer must receive the entire sales order in one shipment. For example, assume the customer orders a table and four chairs, and does not want to receive the table before receiving the chairs. You set Ship Lines Together on the Shipment Details tab of a sales order. Related Topics Creating Sales Orders: Procedure Transforming Order Lines to Fulfillment Lines: How it Works Specifying Shipping Details for Sales Orders: Explained You can use the Shipping tab of the Shipment Details tab of a sales order to specify shipping details. Setting the Latest Acceptable Date and the Earliest Acceptable Date You can set the Latest Acceptable Date and the Earliest Acceptable Date to specify when the customer is willing to accept shipment. Note the following points: If you do not set the Latest Acceptable Date or the Earliest Acceptable Date, then Order Management Cloud will attempt to deliver the sales order no earlier than the Ordered Date, and no later than the Requested Date. Order Management typically defaults the Requested Date to the date that you created the sales order. You can set the Latest Acceptable Date to anytime after the Requested Date. If you set it, then Order Management will attempt to deliver the sales order no later than the Requested Date. You can set the Earliest Acceptable Date to anytime before the Requested Date. If you set it, then Order Management will not deliver the sales order before the Requested Date. This feature is useful if the customer cannot receive delivery until some point in the future. For example, the customer is traveling and will not be at the delivery site, or the delivery site is under construction. Allowing Partial Shipments of Lines You can use Allow Partial Shipments of Lines to allow Order Management to ship an individual order line in multiple shipments. 52

59 Chapter 4 Managing Shipment and Billing Details For example, assume you create a sales order that includes 100 units of a desktop computer on a single order line, you set Allow Partial Shipments of Lines to No, and then submit the order. Assume order fulfillment considers only Supplier A and Supplier B, and that Supplier A currently has 75 units on hand and Supplier B currently has 50 units on hand. In this situation, Order Management will delay the shipment until Supplier A or Supplier B has 100 units on hand, and then ship all units in a single shipment from this supplier. If you set Allow Partial Shipments of Lines to Yes, then Order Management will immediately fulfill the sales order. For example, it might ship 60 units from Supplier A in a separate shipment, and 40 units from Supplier B in another shipment. These shipments might arrive at the customer site at different times, depending on how long it takes the supplier to assemble the order, variations in transit time, and so on. For example, the 60 units from Supplier A might arrive on October 1, and the 40 units from Supplier B might arrive on October 4. It is recommended that you ask the customer to determine whether receiving the sales order in a single shipment is most important and potentially delaying it, or receiving the order in multiple shipments and potentially receiving it on different days. Note that multiple shipments might increase transit cost. Setting Other Attributes on the Shipping Tab You can set the following attributes on the Shipping tab. Attribute Description Shipment Priority Prioritizes shipment for this sales order in relationship to other sales orders. Shipping Instructions and Packing Instructions Order Management sends the information that you include in the Shipping Instructions attribute and the Packing Instructions attribute to other applications that reside downstream in order fulfillment, such as Oracle Fusion Shipping, or some other application that your order administrator specifies. These downstream applications can print this information on packing slips or other shipping documents. Related Topics Creating Sales Orders: Procedure Transforming Order Lines to Fulfillment Lines: How it Works Specifying Supply Details for Sales Orders: Explained You can use the Supply tab of the Shipment Details tab of a sales order to specify supply details. You can set the following attributes. Attribute Description Warehouse, Supplier, and Supplier Site In most situations, your order administrator creates rules that determine the Warehouse, Supplier, and Supplier Site, so you do not need to set them. However, you can use them to specify a drop shipment. For example, you can specify the manufacturer who will drop ship the item to the customer in the Supplier attribute and the location where this manufacturer resides in the Supplier Site attribute. 53

60 Chapter 4 Managing Shipment and Billing Details Attribute Description Demand Class Places a priority during order fulfillment on this sales order when compared to other sales orders. If you do not specify a demand class, then Order Management fulfills this sales order on a first-come, first-serve basis. For example, assume you are an order manager at a company that is attempting to renew the approved supplier status with ABC Corporation. The negotiators at this corporation stated that they are considering not renewing the approved supplier status because of multiple sales orders that are late. You must make sure that these sales orders are not late. You search for all fulfillment lines for ABC Corporation, select all the fulfillment lines, open Edit Fulfillment Lines, and then set the Demand Class to High Priority. Allow Item Substitution Substitutes the item that the customer is ordering with some other item that still meets the customer requirement. For example, assume the customer is ordering a laptop computer with a 150 GB hard drive, and that the supply of 150 GB hard drives is low, but a surplus of 180 GB hard drives exists. In this situation, depending on the substitution rules that your order administrator sets up, if you allow item substitution, then Order Management will substitute the 180 GB hard drive for the 150 GB hard drive. This feature is useful when the inventory is low or out of stock and the customer cannot wait for Order Management to replenish the stock. Related Topics Creating Sales Orders: Procedure Transforming Order Lines to Fulfillment Lines: How it Works Billing and Payment Editing Recurring Billing: Procedure If you add an item that includes recurring billing, then Order Management displays the recurring charge on the order line. You can edit how Order Management Cloud does this billing. This topic includes example values. You might use different values, depending on your business requirements. Edit recurring billing: In the Navigator, click Order Management. On the Overview page, click Tasks, and then click Create Order. On the Create Order page, add a value in the Customer attribute. In the Order Lines area, search for an item that includes recurring billing, such as AS54600 Sentinel 9000-S Laptop, and then click Add. If you add an item that includes recurring billing, then Order Management Cloud displays the recurring charge on the order line and the sale price. For example, Recurring Sale Price (Month) 16.24, Sale Price 1, Click Billing and Payment Details. 6. On the Billing and Payment Details tab, in the Order Line Details area, click the down arrow in the order line that includes the recurring billing that you must edit, and then click Edit Recurring Billing. 7. In the Edit Recurring Billing dialog, set the following attributes, and then click OK. 54

61 Chapter 4 Managing Shipment and Billing Details Attribute Description Contract Start Date Select the start date for the contract. Most billing plans are associated with a contract. For example, a customer who subscribes to an online service typically signs a contract that describes a service agreement that includes a start date and end date. Contract End Date Select the end date for the contract. If the contract does not include an end date, then you can leave this field empty and Order Management will continue the contract in perpetuity. Number of Billing Periods Select the number of billing periods that this billing plan contains. Recurring Billing Start Date Select when to start the recurring billing. Recurring Billing End Date Select when to end the recurring billing. If the contract does not include an end date, then you can leave the Recurring Billing End Date empty, and Order Management will continue the billing in perpetuity. Billing Plan Overrides See the Setting Billing Plan Overrides section in this topic. Note the following points: You can modify the attributes in the Edit Recurring Billing dialog in any sequence. No attributes are required, and no attribute affects any other attribute that the dialog displays. The Your Price column on the Order Lines tab does not display any overrides that you specify for recurring billing. Your order administrator sets up attributes in Oracle Fusion Accounts Receivables and Oracle Fusion Pricing for each customer. This setup determines the values that Order Management displays in the Edit Recurring Billing dialog. A range of factors can affect these values, such as pricing strategy, pricing segmentation, and so on. For details, ask your order administrator. Setting Billing Plan Overrides Use the Billing Plan Overrides attribute to specify how to override each of the billing periods. For example, assume you set Number of Billing Periods to 12, and you use the following values in the Billing Plan Overrides section. Period Quantity Amount

62 Chapter 4 Managing Shipment and Billing Details Order Management will do the following work: Use the values that you specify in the Override Amount attribute for periods 1,2,3,11, and 12. Use the default values for periods 4 through 10. Use the value that you specify in Override Quantity for billing period 1. Use the default quantity for all other billing periods. Note the following points: The values that you enter affect only the period that you specify. They do not affect the default billing plan amount or any other billing periods. You can specify an override for up to five billing periods. You can specify only a single period in each override line. Related Topics Creating Sales Orders: Procedure Transforming Order Lines to Fulfillment Lines: How it Works Editing Recurring Billing: Example You can use the Edit Recurring Billing dialog to set up a complex billing plan for a sales order. For example, you can use it to set up a plan that includes multiple contract periods, bills monthly, adds a fee for some services, and so on. Assume you work for a company named Mega Phones, which sells subscriptions for mobile phones. You know from prior Mega Phones internal training that this service comes in one, two, and three year contract periods, that Mega Phones allows only monthly billing, but does allow enhanced service on a monthly basis, and that the enhanced service is $50 extra for each period. You also know that Mega Phones requires the following items: Set the contract start date to the same day that the customer calls to request service. Start service according to the date that the customer requests. Set the billing start date to the date that the service actually starts. Bill customers on the 20th day of each month. Assume today's date is November 15, 2016, and that a customer calls and requests service for the following: Two year service agreement. Enhanced service in months 4, 5, and 6 because they want to use the Mega Phones unlimited international conferencing application during these periods. Start the service the next day, which is November 16, You use the Edit Recurring Billing dialog to set up this plan. In this example, you set the following values in the top part of the Edit Recurring Billing dialog. For details about how to use this dialog, see Editing Recurring Billing: Procedure. Attribute Value Contract Start Date November 16, 2016 Contract End Date November 16,

63 Chapter 4 Managing Shipment and Billing Details Attribute Value Recurring Billing Start Date November 20, 2016 Recurring Billing End Date Leave empty. Recurring Invoice Start Date Leave empty. Order Management will use the date that you set for the Recurring Billing Start Date as the date to start the recurring invoice period. For details, see the How Accounts Receivables Sets Invoice Dates section in this topic. Number of Periods 24 You must manually calculate the number of periods. In this example, the agreement is for two years, and the billing occurs monthly. So the calculation is 12 multiplied by 2 equals 24 periods. For another example, if the agreement is for three years and billed quarterly, then the calculation is 3 multiplied by 4 equals 12 periods. Frequency Month You set the following values in the Billing Plan Overrides area of the Edit Recurring Billing dialog. Period Quantity Amount 4 Leave empty Leave empty Leave empty How Accounts Receivables Sets Invoice Dates In this example, Oracle Fusion Accounts Receivables does the following work: Sets the date for the first invoice to November 16, 2016, and includes billing for this invoice for November 16, 2016 through November 19, 2016, which is four days of service. Bills subsequent invoices monthly. For example, it sets the date for the second invoice to November 20, 2016, and includes billing for this invoice for November 20, 2016 through December 19, Sets the date for the last invoice to November 16, 2018, and includes billing for this invoice through November 16, Setting an Invoice Date That Is Different Than the Billing Date In some situations, your company policy might require an invoice date that occurs on a date that is different from the billing date. For example, assume Mega Phones policy requires you to create invoices on the first day of each month, but you set the Recurring Billing Start Date to November 20, 2016 because this is the date the service actually starts. To meet this requirement, you can set the Recurring Invoice Date to December 1, Oracle Fusion Accounts Receivables then creates the invoices on December 1 instead of November

Yellow Payment authorization was not performed for one or more order lines. Red Payment authorization failed for one or more order lines. For details, see the Correcting Failed Payment Authorizations section in this topic. 58

65 Chapter 4 Status Managing Shipment and Billing Details Description 4. Next to Payment Status, click View Details. 5. In the Payment Status dialog, notice one of the following colors in the Status column. Status Description Green Payment authorization was successful for the entity. Yellow Payment authorization was not performed for the entity. Red Payment authorization failed for the entity. You can try to reauthorize payment. For details, see the Reauthorizing Payment section in this topic. Correcting Failed Payment Authorizations You can try the following actions to correct a failed payment authorization: Make sure the card security code that you enter is correct. Make sure the customer credit amount contains sufficient funds to cover the cost of the purchase. For example, if the purchase price is $5,000, then the customer credit amount must contain at least $5,000 in available credit when you submit the sales order. If the customer credit amount does not contain sufficient funds to cover the cost of the purchase, then ask the customer to pay the balance of their credit so that it can cover the cost of the purchase, or reduce the dollar value of the purchase. You can also send a request to your order administrator to modify the customer profile in Oracle Fusion Payments, such as increasing the credit limit. Reauthorizing Payment If you make a sales order revision that affects payment, then Order Management reauthorizes payment. For example: You change the Bill-To Customer attribute on the Billing and Payment Details tab of the sales order. You change the Bill To Account and Credit Card only on order line 3, and then click Submit. Order Management will reauthorize only line 3. The other order lines will continue to use their existing authorizations because no change occurred in those order lines or on the header billing details. You change the Bill To Account and Credit Card in the header area of the Billing and Payment Details tab, and then click Submit. Order Management will reauthorize the order header and the order lines. You add a new order line, and then click Submit. Order Management will authorize the new line. If you make a sales order revision that does not affect payment, then Order Management does not reauthorize payment. For example, Order Management does not reauthorize payment if you modify the sales representative or manually split an order line.

67 Chapter 5 Revising, Cancelling, and Returning Sales Orders 5 Revising, Cancelling, and Returning Sales Orders Revising Sales Orders That You Already Submitted: Procedure If you must revise a sales order that you already submitted, then you can create a new version of it, and then edit the new version. Create a new version of a sales order. 1. In the Navigator, click Order Management. 2. On page Overview, click Advanced. As an alternative, if you know the sales order number, then you can search for it on the Overview page. 3. On page Manage Orders, set the following attribute, and then click Search. Attribute Value Status Equals Processing You can create a new version of a sales order only if it is in status Processing or status Closed. You might not be able to modify some attributes in the new version after the sales order is Closed. 4. On page Manage Orders, in column Order, click an order number. 5. Click Actions, and then click Create Revision. Order Management stops processing the sales order, creates a new draft that you can modify, and adds a version number in parentheses immediately after the order number to indicate each version that you create. For example, the following value indicates the second version that you created for this sales order. Create Order Revision: Computer Service and Rentals (2) - Draft 6. Edit the sales order, as necessary, and then click Submit. Order Management creates a new sales order, and then displays the new order number. For example. Computer Service and Rentals Processing Order Management increments the version number each time you create a new version. To view each version. 1. On page Overview, use Search to locate and open the sales order. 2. On page Manage Orders, notice the versions. You can revise only the current version. You cannot revise an earlier version. For example, assume you create a sales order, revise it, Order Management displays (2) in the status line, you revise it again, and Order Management displays (3) in the status line. You can revise only version 3. You cannot revise version 2. 61

68 Chapter 5 Revising, Cancelling, and Returning Sales Orders Note the following behavior. Note. If Order Management doesn't immediately confirm the submit, then wait a moment, and then query for the order on the Overview page. Do not resubmit the sales order. If you resubmit, then Order Management will create another revision and start another orchestration process, which might cause an error because a separate orchestration process will run for each revision. Order Management does not cascade changes that you make to an attribute from the header area of the tab to the details area of the tab. For example, if you change Shipping Method on the header of tab General, then Order Management does not automatically change the value of Shipping Method in area Order Line Details. 62

69 Chapter 5 Revising, Cancelling, and Returning Sales Orders In area Order Line Details, use column Overridden to determine whether order line is overridden. If an attribute value in the detail doesn't match the attribute value in header, then the line is overridden. Order Management applies processing constraints when you change any value in the tab header or detail. If a constraint prevents the change, then Order Management disallows the change and displays an error message. For example, if Order Management already started order fulfillment for the sales order, then you might need to cancel the sales order, and then create a new one. For details, see topic Canceling Sales Orders: Procedure. You cannot revise a sales order that you have not yet submitted. Instead, you can edit the draft of the sales order. You cannot retrieve a sales order version that you discard. To cancel an order line that you have not submitted, on tab Order Lines, click the down arrow, and then click Delete. To cancel an order line, you must explicitly request the cancel. Order Management does not implicitly cancel order lines when you revise a sales order. If you revise an order line, then Order Management will use the order line attributes that you revise. It will set attribute values to empty for each attribute that you do not revise. If you revise only the order header, then Order Management will revise the header but not the order lines. A Gantt chart in the Order Management work area might display the status of a task as canceled. This situation occurs because Order Management might cancel a task, and then run it again, but you happened to view the task while it was in the canceled state. 63

70 Chapter 5 Revising, Cancelling, and Returning Sales Orders Making Changes in Fulfillment View Note. In work area Order Management, click Actions, and then click Switch to Fulfillment View. Click Actions, and then click an action. Split Fulfillment Line Substitute Item Remove from Shipment Set 64

71 Chapter 5 Revising, Cancelling, and Returning Sales Orders Click Edit, and then edit the fulfillment line. For example, override a scheduling attribute. Click Check Availability, and then edit fulfillment line attributes. These changes do not create an order revision, and Order Management does not create a revision number of the sales order. Order Management constrains and compensates in the same way it constrains and compensates an order revision. Order Management does not apply order management extensions when the user makes a change in a fulfillment view. Order Management does the following. Constrains and compensates in the same way it constrains and compensates an order revision. Does not create an order revision, and does not create a revision number of the sales order. 65

72 Chapter 5 Revising, Cancelling, and Returning Sales Orders Viewing Changes You Made Note. On page Overview, click Tasks, and then click Manage Orders. On page Search, to search for all revised orders, set Open to empty or No. The status of a revision is not Open. A revision references the original sales order, so status is Reference. You can also use Source Order to search for a single revised order. The number for the Source Order and the sales order is the same for an order that you create in Order Management. 66

73 Chapter 5 Revising, Cancelling, and Returning Sales Orders Order Management creates a revision each time you revise the sales order from page Create Order Revision or import change from a channel. For example, Revision 1 of order Order Management does not create a revision when you use a fulfillment view to revise the sales order. In column Order, click the links to examine changes you made between revisions. Revising Shipment Details Note. If the order line already shipped, then you can revise only some of the attributes, such as payment terms or sales credits. You cannot revise quantity, item, warehouse, and so on. A shipment set is a group of order lines that Order Management ships together in a single shipment. For example, assume your sales orders often include a desktop computer, monitor, mouse, and keyboard. You can ship them together in a shipment set. Assume your shipping system for some reason ships only the computer. Order Management will not allow you to update any line in the shipment set that it has not shipped, such as the monitor. You cannot use Create Order Revision to add an existing order line to a new or existing shipment set. For example, you cannot move shipment set n from order x to order y. You must create a new shipment set in order y. Partial shipment typically occurs during a stop order or with a staged order. You can cancel the entire quantity that your fulfillment system has not shipped. If the order is backordered, then you can ship it at a later point. You cannot update an attribute on a fulfillment line that your fulfillment system has only partially shipped. You cannot cancel only part of the quantity. For example, assume quantity is 10 in the original order, you shipped 4, and 6 are backordered. You can cancel the entire 6 backordered. You cannot cancel part of the backorder, such as 3. Revising Configured Items If you revise a sales orders that references a configured item, then you must make sure the change order that references this item includes all of the order lines. These order lines reference options for the configured item. You must also make sure that the change order references these same items, and then resubmit your change order. For example, assume you create a sales order that includes six order lines. Some time later, you must modify the date on only one order line, such as line 2. In this example, to maintain the sales order, you must send all six lines of the sales order even if you modify only one line. For example, assume Order Management displays a message that is similar to the following. Version 2 of change order is rejected because child order lines 3,4,7 of order line 2, of model PTO54222, are missing. In this example, the model identifies the configured item. It includes order line 2, but child order lines 3,4, and 7 of line 2 are missing. You must make sure the change order includes these child order lines.

74 Chapter 5 Revising, Cancelling, and Returning Sales Orders Canceling Sales Orders: Procedure You can cancel a sales order that is in Processing status. Note the following points. You can only cancel a sales order that is in Processing status. If the sales order is in Closed status or Partially Closed status, then you must return the sales order instead. For details, see topic Returning Sales Orders: Procedure. To cancel a stuck order line, see topic Canceling Order Lines That Remain in the Same Status: Procedure Cancel a sales order. 1. In the Navigator, click Order Management. 2. On the Overview page, click Advanced. As an alternative, if you know the sales order number, then you can search for it on the Overview page. 3. On the Manage Orders page, set Status to Equals Processing, and then click Search. 4. In the Order column, click an order number. 5. On the Order page, click Actions, and then click Cancel Order. Order Management immediately stops order fulfillment for the sales order and cancels the sales order. Cancel Remaining Quantity If you set attribute Allow Partial Shipments of Lines to Yes on tab Shipment Details, and if Order Management has shipped only some of the order lines, then you can click Cancel Remaining Quantity to cancel the quantity that Order Management has not yet shipped. If your order line includes a split fulfillment line, and if Order Management splits this line when it ships the sales order, then the sales order is partially fulfilled. You cannot revise the part of the line that Order Management already fulfilled, but you can cancel the remaining quantity that it has not fulfilled. For example, if you order a quantity of ten on an order line and Order Management ships seven of them, then you cannot increase the quantity, but you can decrease it to any value of zero to three. You can also click Cancel Remaining Quantity to cancel the remaining quantity of three. Order Management does this work even if it fulfills the sales order from more than one warehouse. For example, assume. Order Management splits a fulfillment line during scheduling so it can fulfill the lines from three different warehouses, thus producing three split lines. Order Management ships one of these lines. You cannot cancel the shipped line, but you can cancel the two lines that Order Management has not shipped. If you order a quantity of ten, then Order Management splits the sales order into three lines, and fulfills each line from the following warehouses. Seven items from warehouse A Two items from warehouse B One item from warehouse C 68

75 Chapter 5 Revising, Cancelling, and Returning Sales Orders Assume it ships seven items from warehouse A, but has not shipped any items from warehouse B or warehouse C. In this situation, you cannot cancel the items that Order Management shipped from warehouse A, but you can cancel two items from warehouse B, and one item from warehouse C.

Order Management calculates credit amount when you add return to sales order. It applies the following logic. You cannot modify this behavior. Sets attribute Billing Frequency to One Time Billing. Sets attribute Number of Billing Periods to 1. Prices the return line according to the price that exists on the date and time when you add the order line. For example, if customer purchases item on January 1, 2018 for $2,300, returns it on January 1, 2019, and if price on January 1, 2019 is $2,500, then Order Management calculates price at $2,500. Order Management recalculates the price according to pricing that exists on the date and time when you save or submit the sales order. Issues the entire credit to customer instead of sending an individual credit for each period. This topic includes example values.

89 Chapter 6 6 Managing Order Fulfillment Managing Order Fulfillment Monitoring Order Management Statuses: Explained Order Management Cloud displays a separate status for the sales order, fulfillment line, fulfillment task, and orchestration process. Each status indicates the progress of a sales order from beginning to completion. The statuses of the fulfillment lines, orchestration processes, and fulfillment task determines the sales order status. The Order Management work area displays these status values. Order Management sequentially evaluates each of the status conditions that a fulfillment line contains while it processes a sales order. The true condition that contains the highest sequence number determines the fulfillment line status. Order Management then uses the status of the fulfillment line that has progressed the furthest in the sales order life cycle to update the order status. Where Order Management Displays Status Order Management displays status in the following locations. Status Where Displayed Order Status At the top of the Order page in the order title. For example, the order status of the following sales order is Processing: Order: Computer Service and Rentals Processing Fulfillment Line Status In the Order Lines area of the Order page. For example, the status of the following fulfillment line is Awaiting Shipping: Item, AS Standard Desktop, Status, Awaiting Shipping You can also click Actions, and then click Switch to Fulfillment View to view the fulfillment line status. Orchestration Process Status In the Status field of the Orchestration Process page. For example, Awaiting Fulfillment. Fulfillment Task Status In the Status column of the Orchestration Plan tab of the Orchestration Process page. For example, Awaiting Fulfillment. Sales Order Status The status that Order Management displays for the sales order depends on the following statuses of the fulfillment line. 83

90 Chapter 6 Managing Order Fulfillment Sales Order Status Description Draft You saved the order to the database but have not submitted to order fulfillment. You can modify a Draft order. Processing You submitted the sales order to order fulfillment, but Order Management has not delivered all fulfillment lines to the customer. You cannot modify a Processing order, but you can revise it. For details, see Revising Sales Orders That You Already Submitted: Procedure Open Order Management has not completed any fulfillment lines. Partial Order Management has completed some, but not all, fulfillment lines. Reference An earlier version of a revised order. For example, if you revise an existing sales order, and then click Submit, then Order Management displays the earlier version of the sales order with a status of Reference. Closed Order Management completed all fulfillment lines. You cannot modify a Closed order, but you can create a return order to return items from it. For details, see Returning Sales Orders: Procedure Canceled Order Management canceled all fulfillment lines. It also removed the sales order from order fulfillment and did not reschedule it. You cannot submit a Canceled sales order to order fulfillment. If Order Management canceled only some fulfillment lines, then it ignores the canceled fulfillment lines, and sets the status according to the fulfillment lines that are open. Approval Pending Order Management sent your sales order to a sales order approver. For details, see Getting Approvals for Sales Orders: Explained Order Line Status The status that Order Management displays for the order line depends on the following statuses of the fulfillment lines. Order Line Status Fulfillment Line Status Open Order Management has not completed any fulfillment lines. Partial Order Management has completed some, but not all, fulfillment lines. Closed Order Management completed all fulfillment lines. Canceled Order Management canceled all fulfillment lines. If Order Management canceled only some fulfillment lines, then it ignores the canceled fulfillment lines, and sets the status according to the fulfillment lines that are open.

91 Chapter 6 Managing Order Fulfillment Setting Up Fulfillment Line Statuses: Procedure Transforming Order Lines to Fulfillment Lines: How it Works Revising Sales Orders That You Already Submitted: Procedure Monitoring Order Fulfillment: Procedure You can use the Order Management work area to monitor order fulfillment for each of your sales orders. Monitor order fulfillment: 1. In the Navigator, click Order Management. 2. On the Overview page, do one of the following: Enter your order number in the Search field, and then press the ENTER key on your keyboard. Click Tasks, click Manage Orders, and then search for your sales order. Click a bar on one of the bar charts. 3. On the Manage Orders page, in the Order column, click your order number. 4. On the Order page, click Switch to Fulfillment View. You can use the fulfillment view to monitor and manage order fulfillment. This view displays the results of the order transformation, such as the fulfillment lines and orchestration processes that Order Management added to fulfill your sales order. 5. On the Fulfillment Lines tab, notice that Order Management added a separate fulfillment line for each order line that you created, and that each fulfillment line includes information about the order status and orchestration process: 6. Click an orchestration process number, such as On the Orchestration Plan tab, examine the fulfillment tasks that the orchestration process scheduled to fulfill for this fulfillment line, and the current status of each fulfillment task. In the following example, the jeopardy is low for each fulfillment task. None of the tasks have started. The orchestration process might not start a fulfillment task for a number of reasons, such as the Planned Start Date has not yet occurred, the Earliest Acceptable Ship Date might occur too far in the future, or other sales orders 85

92 Chapter 6 Managing Order Fulfillment might have higher priority. For details about how to fix this situation, see Fixing Problems and Improving Fulfillment Performance: Procedure. Monitoring Orchestration Plans An orchestration plan is a stepwise process that orchestrates and plans the fulfillment of a sales order. It includes tasks, task statuses, planning dates, planning shipments, and so on. It might require anywhere from seconds to days to complete the tasks that it contains during orchestration planning. For example, if the customer purchases an item that is not shippable, such as a subscription that ships electronically, then the shipment might complete in a few minutes. If the item is shippable, such as a laptop computer that a truck delivers to the customer, then the shipment might require several days to finish. The following example orchestration plan has completed all fulfillment tasks for this sales order up to the Invoice fulfillment task, and is now waiting for billing to invoice the sales order. A check mark indicates that the fulfillment task completed. Your 86

93 Chapter 6 Managing Order Fulfillment orchestration plan might display different fulfillment tasks and task statuses, depending on how your order manager sets up the Order Management work area at your company. This example orchestration plan includes the following fulfillment tasks. Fulfillment Task Description Schedule Sends a scheduling request to order promising. For example, to schedule a sales order, unschedule a sales order, or to check the availability of the item. Reserve Sends a reservation request to the inventory fulfillment system. A reservation reserves the supply for a sales order so that no other sales order or system can use this supply. Verify Trade Compliance Performs trade compliance screening. Your order manager might administer the Order Management work area to screen each sales order for trade compliance during order fulfillment. For details, see Managing Sales Orders That Use Trade Compliance: Procedure Transportation Planning Sends a request to Transportation Management to plan transportation for the sales order. Ship Sends a request to the fulfillment system that creates the shipment request. The shipping system might send fulfillment line details to Order Management at any time when a status update occurs, including before it confirms a shipment. For example, it sends updated information for the following attributes that display on the Fulfillment Lines tab: Scheduled Ship Date Scheduled Arrival Date 87

94 Chapter 6 Fulfillment Task Managing Order Fulfillment Description Actual Ship Date Actual Delivery Date Pause Waits for shipment delivery confirmation. A pause task can temporarily stop an orchestration process from running so it can wait for a condition to be met. Invoice Sends a request to the billing system and interprets the replies that it receives from this system. Note that Order Management does not update the orchestration plan if you do any of the following: Manually split a fulfillment line. Remove an order line from a shipment set. Change the warehouse. Substitute an item. Override the scheduled ship date. For example, if you change the quantity on the fulfillment line from 10 to 100, then Order Management updates the Reserve step in the orchestration plan to make sure it can deliver the fulfillment line on schedule. However, if you change the warehouse, then Order Management will not update the Reserve step. Monitoring Assets During Order Fulfillment Depending on how your order administrator sets up Order Management, you can view the Asset Tracked attribute on the Manage Fulfillment Lines page to monitor assets during order fulfillment. This attribute can contain one of the following values. Value Description Customer Asset Track the item as an asset only when you sell, lease, or loan it to your customer. Oracle Fusion Applications will track each subsequent change to the item, such as a change to location, ownership change, or a structural change. This tracking continues until the asset retires or the customer returns it, for example, at the end of a lease. Full Lifecycle Track the item as an asset when it enters Oracle Fusion Applications. A purchase receipt, manufacturing completion, or some other type of receipt starts the creation of the asset. Oracle Fusion Applications will track each subsequent change until the asset retires, such as a change to location, ownership change, or a structural change. If an asset does not reference a serial number, then Full Lifecycle tracking is equivalent to Customer Asset tracking. Not Tracked Do not track the item as an asset.

95 Chapter 6 Managing Order Fulfillment Defining Jeopardy and Lead Time to Manage Delay: Procedure Jeopardy Score: Explained Order Management Cloud maps the jeopardy score to a jeopardy priority, and then displays this score in the Order Management work area. This score provides a quick visual cue so that you can take action to reduce the delay. How Order Management Displays Jeopardy Priority A jeopardy priority references the fulfillment task that contains the highest jeopardy score. If multiple fulfillment tasks are in jeopardy in an orchestration process, then Order Management uses the highest jeopardy score when it displays the jeopardy for this orchestration process. For example, assume the supply in the warehouse that the Carpet Processing orchestration process references is not sufficient, and that this insufficient supply causes a delay for the following fulfillment tasks: A three day delay for the Deliver Carpet task that results in a jeopardy score of 100 and a jeopardy priority of Medium A three day delay for the Invoice Carpet task that results in a jeopardy score of 200 and a jeopardy priority of High Two hundred is the higher score, so Order Management uses the jeopardy score for the Invoice Carpet task to represent the jeopardy of the Carpet Processing orchestration process. It displays a jeopardy priority of High in the Order Management work area. How Order Management Assigns Jeopardy Score to Fulfillment Tasks Order Management assigns a jeopardy score to a fulfillment task according to the jeopardy threshold. If a fulfillment task is delayed, then Order Management calculates the difference between the required completion date and the planned completion date, and then searches for a threshold that applies to the largest number of entities that the fulfillment task references. It uses the following sequence when it searches for this threshold: Search the process name, process version, task name, and task type. Search the process name, process version, and task name. Search the process name and task name. Search the process name, process version, and task type. Search the process name and task type. Search the process task name. Search the process name and process version. Search the process name. Search the task type. For example, Order Management does the following work: 1. Search for a jeopardy threshold that applies to the task type, task name, process name, and process version. If Order Management does not find a threshold that applies to all of these attributes, then continue to step Search for a jeopardy threshold that applies to the process name, process version, and task name. If Order Management does not find a threshold that applies to all of these attributes, then continue to step And so on. Order Management continues this work until it finds a threshold that applies to one attribute or a combination of attributes, and then sets the jeopardy score according to the threshold that it assigns to the fulfillment task. The jeopardy score might change during replanning. If this change results in a change to the jeopardy priority, and if this jeopardy priority value is enabled, then Order Management updates the jeopardy values that it displays. 89

96 Chapter 6 Managing Order Fulfillment Related Topics Jeopardy Priority: Explained Jeopardy Threshold: Explained Defining Jeopardy and Lead Time to Manage Delay: Procedure Transforming Order Lines to Fulfillment Lines: How it Works Analytics: Explained You can use the reports and analytics features in the Order Management work area to get details about order status and to facilitate order fulfillment. You can get details about fulfillment lines, orchestration processes, shipments, and so on. Order Management displays reports on different pages. For example, to view reports about fulfillment line exceptions, do the following: 1. In the Navigator, click Order Management. 2. On the Overview page, click Tasks, and then click Manage Fulfillment Line Exceptions. 3. On the Manage Fulfillment Line Exceptions page, expand the Analytics area, and then view the report. Reports That Display Overview Details You can use the following reports to get an overview of each fulfillment line status. Report Description Fulfillment Lines by Exception Displays details about open fulfillment lines, each of which might include multiple types of fulfillment line exceptions that occur at the same time. This report might count a fulfillment line more than one time. For example, if a fulfillment line is in jeopardy and on hold, then this report includes this line in the count of lines that are in jeopardy, and also in the count of lines that are on hold. You can also run other reports from the list of orders that Fulfillment Lines by Exception displays, such as Schedule, Check Availability, Substitute Item, Apply Hold, and so on. Fulfillment Lines by Status Displays only open fulfillment lines. On-Time Shipment Percentage by Time Displays the percent of sales orders where all fulfillment lines shipped on time. Reports That Display Details About Fulfillment Line Exceptions The following reports display details about items, customers, and sales orders for a fulfillment line. Analytics for each customer uses the customer party ID for the query. Report Item Availability Description Displays the following details about the item that a fulfillment line references: Available quantity. Amount of inventory that is available to fill sales orders. It is the shelf quantity minus the allocated quantity. 90

97 Chapter 6 Report Managing Order Fulfillment Description Count of Holds for This Item by Hold Name Shelf quantity. Amount of inventory for an item that is currently on the shelf in the warehouse. It includes allocated and not allocated quantities. Allocated quantity. Amount of inventory that Order Management Cloud currently reserves to fill a sales order. Counts the holds that Order Management applied to the sales order, order line, and fulfillment lines. A single fulfillment line might include multiple holds. Order Management caches this report and refreshes it according to the caching configuration. The data is not real-time. Order Age by Time Displays order age. This report uses the following calculation: The system date minus the ordered date for open orders, divided by the last updated date minus the ordered date for closed orders The last updated date represents the closed date. If Order Management sets the date for a sales order at some time in the future, then a negative value might result. The Time axis displays according to the ordered date. For example, an order placed in May but closed in June displays on the May bar in the graph. Order Value by Time Displays the value in the currency that the Order Management work area uses. This currency might be different from the currency that the original transaction uses. Open Orders for This Customer by Age Uses the same calculation that the Order Age by Time report uses, except Open Orders for This Customer by Age only displays open orders for the record that you select. This calculation might result in a negative value. Count of Holds for This Customer by Hold Name Similar to the Count of Holds for This Item by Hold Name report, except the Count of Holds for This Customer by Hold Name report counts hold according to a customer. Fulfillment Line Exceptions for This Order Displays the open fulfillment lines for a single sales order. Each of these fulfillment lines might include multiple types of fulfillment line exceptions that occur at the same time. This report might count a fulfillment line more than one time. For example, if a sales order includes two fulfillment lines, and if each of these lines includes two exceptions, then the report counts four exceptions. Value of Fulfillment Lines by Hold Type Displays the value in the currency that the Order Management work area uses. If you import source orders from a source system, then this currency might be different from the currency that the source order uses. This report does not count an inherited hold more than one time. For example, assume Order Management applies a hold on a sales order, and the fulfillment line that this sales order references inherits this hold from the sales order. In this situation, this report counts the hold only one time. Average Age of Orders by Hold Uses the same calculation that the Order Age by Time report uses, except Average Age of Orders by Hold counts the number of holds that Order Management applied to a sales order. it does not count the holds that it applied to the fulfillment lines that this sales order references. 91

98 Chapter 6 Managing Order Fulfillment Reports That Display Details About Orchestration Process Exceptions The following reports display details about orchestration process exceptions. Report Description Orchestration Process Exceptions by Type If an orchestration process includes more than one exception, then this report counts this process one time for each exception that it contains. Average Process Duration by Time Compares all orchestration process instances that Order Management has closed to the orchestration process that you select. Count of Holds for This Customer by Hold Name Counts the number of orchestration processes that are stopped because a task is on hold. The count includes the orchestration processes for a single customer. On-Time Shipment Percentage by Time Displays the percent of sales orders where all fulfillment lines shipped on time for a single customer. Orchestration Orders by Time Displays details about orchestration orders for the customer of the orchestration process that you select. Related Topics Transforming Order Lines to Fulfillment Lines: How it Works Why Order Management Disables Fulfillment Actions: Explained Order Management Cloud disables some of the fulfillment line actions that you can perform in the Order Management work area. Order Management might disable the following actions. Action All fulfillment line actions, except view Description Order Management disables this action in the following situations: Unschedule Order Management disables this action in the following situations: Reserve The fulfillment line is locked, canceled, closed, was shipped, or is part of a configured item. The user request status is processing. Order Management has not assigned an orchestration process to the fulfillment line. The fulfillment line is not scheduled. The scheduled ship date does not contain a value. Order Management disables this action in the following situations: The fulfillment line is not scheduled.

Order Management disables this action in the following situations: The fulfillment line belongs to a shipment set. The Split Allowed feature equals False for the fulfillment line, and you do not use the privilege to override this restriction. You selected more than one fulfillment line. Related Topics Transforming Order Lines to Fulfillment Lines: How it Works Fixing Problems and Improving Fulfillment Performance: Procedure Stopping and Resuming Using Holds to Temporarily Stop Processing: Explained Order Management Cloud uses holds to help manage order fulfillment. Note the following behavior. Behavior Automatically applying holds Description Note the following points: Order Management Cloud automatically applies a hold if a change from the Order Management work area requires Order Management to compensate the orchestration process. In this situation, Order Management sends a message to the fulfillment system to apply a hold so that fulfillment stops while Order Management compensates the orchestration process. Order Management releases holds automatically during order compensation after it finishes compensation. This behavior applies only in Order Management. 93

100 Chapter 6 Behavior Managing Order Fulfillment Description Propagating holds Note the following points: Displaying and processing active holds Order Management transforms a hold that it receives from a source system or from a fulfillment system. This hold becomes part of the sales order. If a source order includes a hold, then Order Management includes this hold on the fulfillment lines that it maps to the sales order. If a fulfillment line includes a hold, and if Order Management splits this fulfillment line, then it includes the hold on each new fulfillment line that it creates to do the split. If Order Management applies a hold to one or more lines in a shipment set, then it applies the hold to the entire shipment set. An active hold is a current hold on an orchestration process. Note the following points: Releasing holds An orchestration process can automatically apply a hold only when a hold request already exists in Order Management, in the source system, or in the fulfillment system. For example, assume an orchestration process is at the scheduling step when a source system sends a request to hold the shipping task. Order Management stores the request until the orchestration process reaches the shipping step. It then searches for existing requests, and then applies them. The Hold Source System attribute displays the location of where the hold was applied. If a fulfillment line includes a hold, and if the orchestration process that this fulfillment line references has not yet reached the step that includes the hold, then Order Management might continue to run this process until it reaches the step that includes the hold. If a fulfillment line includes a hold that Order Management has not released, then Order Management displays it as an active hold even if this line does not include an active hold. Note the following points: You or an orchestration process can release a hold that you apply in Order Management only in the Order Management Work Area. Only the user of a source system can release a hold that another user of this source system applied. If you cancel an orchestration process, then Order Management releases any holds that reference this process. If you do not cancel an orchestration process, then you must manually release each hold and provide a release reason. Related Topics Transforming Order Lines to Fulfillment Lines: How it Works Fixing Problems and Improving Fulfillment Performance: Procedure Using Holds to Temporarily Stop Processing: Procedure You can manually apply or release a hold on an order line or fulfillment line to temporarily stop Order Management from processing the line. You can also get details about current holds on an orchestration process. You might need to place a hold for a variety of reasons. For example. You submitted a sales order and Order Management scheduled it for delivery. Later that day, the customer who placed the sales order realizes they cannot receive it because they will be out of the country for three weeks. The customer calls and requests to delay delivery. 94

101 Chapter 6 Managing Order Fulfillment You submitted a sales order and Order Management scheduled it for delivery. Later that day, the customer who placed the sales order realizes they need to verify their order to make sure it works for them, but need to do some investigation first. The customer calls and requests to delay delivery for one week. Personnel at the warehouse ask you to temporarily hold the shipment because a fire occurred in the warehouse. Your order administrator informs you that a problem might exist with an item, and requests that you temporarily hold all your sales orders that reference this item while your sales engineers investigate the problem. Hold Order Line In this example, assume you submitted a sales order and Order Management scheduled it for delivery. Later that day, the customer who placed the sales order realizes they need to verify their order to make sure it works for them, but need to do some investigation first. The customer calls and requests to delay delivery for one week. Place a hold on an order line. 1. In the Navigator, click Order Management. 2. On page Overview, click Tasks, and then click Manage Orders. As an alternative, if you know the sales order number, then you can search for it on the Overview page. 3. On page Manage Orders, search for the sales order you must place on hold. 4. In area Search Results, in column Order, click a link. 5. On page Order, in area Order Lines, note the value of attribute Status. The Status identifies where this sales order resides in order fulfillment. Use it to determine whether or not placing a hold will achieve the results you require. In this example, assume status is Awaiting Shipping, which indicates that Order Management scheduled the order line for shipping but has not yet shipped it to the customer. If the status where Shipped, then it would be to late to place a hold and you would have to request that the customer return the item. 6. On page Order, in area Order Lines, click Apply Hold. 7. In dialog Apply Hold, set the following value, and then click Save and Close. Attribute Description Hold Name SHIP_ALL In step 5, you determined that Order Management has not yet shipped the sales order, so you can use SHIP_ALL to temporarily stop processing for all shipping that Order Management performs for this sales order. 95
