DATA FLOW IN ORDER TO CASH

TECHNICAL DATA FLOW IN ORDER TO CASH

STEP 1:

Enter order received from customer in Order Management (Sales Order)

Also enter the line level information of items ordered for. On saving the information, the data will

be inserted in OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL and OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL Order_number will be

automatically generated, Header and line Flow_status_code = ‘ENTERED’

OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL

select header_id,

order_number,

request_date,

transactional_curr_code,

shipping_method_code,

ship_from_org_id,

ship_to_org_id,

org_id,

flow_status_code,

salesrep_id,

booked_date

from OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL

where flow_status_code = 'CLOSED'

and order_number = '56706'

OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL

select header_id,

        line_id,

        line_number,

        ordered_item,

        inventory_item_id ,

        request_date,

        promise_date,

        schedule_ship_date,

        pricing_quantity,

        ordered_quantity,

        cancelled_quantity,

        shipped_quantity,

        invoiced_quantity,

        payment_term_id,

        visible_demand_flag,

        actual_shipment_date,

        unit_selling_price,

        tax_value,

        cancelled_flag,

        flow_status_code

from OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL

where header_id = 94256

STEP 2:

Book the order. Header Flow_status_code = ‘BOOKED’

Line Flow_status_code = ‘AWAITING SHIPPING’

The data is captured in WSH_DELIVERY_DETAILS.

WSH_DLIVERY_ASSIGNMENTS is the intermediate table between

WSH_DELIVERY_DETAIL and WSH_NEW_DELIVERIES.

WSH_DELIVERY_DETAILS

select delivery_detail_id,

        source_header_id,

        source_line_id,

        source_code,

        customer_id,

        inventory_item_id,

        item_description,

        ship_from_location_id,

        ship_to_location_id,

        move_order_line_id,

        requested_quantity,

        shipped_quantity,

        subinventory,

        released_status,

        ship_method_code,

        carrier_id,

        net_weight,

        unit_weight,

        unit_volume,

        unit_price,

        inspection_flag,

        source_header_number,

        batch_id

from WSH_DELIVERY_DETAILS

where source_header_id = 94256

WSH_DELIVERY_ASSIGNMENTS

select delivery_detail_id ,

        delivery_id,

        parent_delivery_detail_id,

        creation_date

from WSH_DELIVERY_ASSIGNMENTS

where delivery_detail_id in (216151, 216152, 216153) -- from above query

WSH_NEW_DELIVERIES

select delivery_id,

        name,

        status_code,

        customer_id ,

        gross_weight,

        net_weight,

        weight_uom_code,

        confirm_date,

        delivery_type,

        source_header_id,

        hash_string

from WSH_NEW_DELIVERIES 

where delivery_id in (65881, 65882) -- from above query

STEP 3:

You can enter, view and update the Sales order information using Sales Order window.

Release the sales Order

Once the order is released, the data is updated in WSH_DELIVERY_DETAILS.The

released_status becomes ‘Y’ and MOVE ORDER is generated in

MTL_TXN_REQUEST_HEADERS and LINES. The move_order_line_id is also populated in

WSH_DELIVERY_DETAILS

 

STEP 4:

Ship Confirm will update the data in WSH_DELIVERY_DETAILS. Released_status = ‘C’ and

Shipped_quantity gets updated.

If you choose Tools >> Workflow Status then you will see that the workflow activity is in Deferred

stage.

The concurrent program Workflow Background Engine needs to be executed to proceed further. 

 

MTL_TXN_REQUEST_LINES

select line_id move_order_line_id,

        header_id move_order_header_id,

        line_number,

        inventory_item_id,

        organization_id,

        quantity_delivered,

        line_status,

        txn_source_id,

        transaction_type_id,

        pick_slip_date

from MTL_TXN_REQUEST_LINES

where line_id in (174779, 174780, 174781)

MTL_TXN_REQUEST_HEADERS

select header_id move_order_header_id,

        request_number move_order_number,

        move_order_type,

        organization_id,

        header_status move_order_status

from MTL_TXN_REQUEST_HEADERS

where header_id in (55272, 55273)

MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS

select transaction_id,

        inventory_item_id,

        organization_id,

        subinventory_code,

        transaction_type_id,

        transaction_action_id,

        transaction_quantity,

        transaction_uom,

        transaction_date,

        distribution_account_id,

        invoiced_flag,

        shipment_number delvery_name

from MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS

where shipment_number in ('65881', '65882')

Workflow Background Process executes Autoinvoice master, Autoinvoice Import Program.

The date is first transferred from Shipping to RA_INTERFACE_LINES_ALL.

Then the Autoinvoice Import program validates the records and populates the base table in

Account Receivable. RA_CUSTOMER_TXN_ALL , RA_CUSTOMER_TXN_LINES_ALL

RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_ALL

select interface_header_attribute1,

        customer_trx_id,

        trx_number,

        cust_trx_type_id,

        complete_flag,

        ship_date_actual

from RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_ALL

where interface_header_attribute1 = '56706'

OM in Detail

Overview of Order Management in Order To Cash Process:

The following flowchart is self explanatory:

Oracle Order management supports multiple fulfillment models which are :

# For CTO, ATO, PTO

# Back To Back Orders

# Drop Ship to Customer

The flow for CTO, ATO, PTO would be as follows

The flow for Back To Back Orders would be as follows

The flow for Drop Ship to Customer would be as follows

The integration of the diffrent modules is as follows:

Here you will come to know that which information is fetched from which module.

Please refer to following link from metalink which will give you the ERD [Entity Relationship

Diagram] for the diffrent tables of modules. You need to have metalink access for this.

ORDER TO CASH

Basic cycle in SCM will be O2C...

Lets have a look at this cycle flow then we will go in the processes in detail.

ORDER TO CASH CYCLE STEPS

-------------------------------

# Order placed by customer.

# Entered in Order Entry.

# Order fulfilled [manufactured/produced].

# Shipping execution.

# Order picked for release which generates the move order.

# This move order is for shifting the material ordered from subinv to staging area.

# Ordered product received by customer along with invoice.

# Auto invoice is the concurrent program which imports invoices, credit memos from other system

to Oracle Applications. In receivable you can print the invoice and send it to customer.

# Payment done by customer.

# Receipt given.

# Entry to GL.

------------------------

ORDER LIFE CYCLE

------------------------

1. ORDERING

2. SCHEDULE

3. SHIPPING

4. AUTOINVOICE TO RECEIVABLE

5. INVOICING

6. RECEIPTS

7. CASH MANAGEMENT

8. TRANSFER TO GL

-----------------------

# ORDERING

order placed by customer online/inventory replenishment/order entry manually by sales

representative.

OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL

OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL

OE_ORDER_SOURCES

OE_TRANSACTION_TYPES_TL

# SCHEDULING

checking ATP, placing demand, and reserving on-hand Inventory, running pick release, and

shipping the order.

MTL_ONHAND_QUANTITIES_DETAIL

MTL_TXN_REQUEST_HEADERS

MTL_TXN_REQUEST_LINES

# SHIPPING PROCESS

PICK RELEASE creates MOVE ORDER (request for movement of inventory from one location to

staging area)

Detailing of MOVE ORDER (providing detail information about the inventory to be moved)

Transact the MOVE ORDER does the PICK CONFIRM. (items moved to staging area)

From staging the material is loaded to truck and shipped. Once loaded, you can run SHIP

CONFIRM process. SHIP CONFIRM decrement inventory and update sales order.

# AUTO INVOICE

The Transaction data can be sourced from different legacy systems.

All the data is first laded in the interface table

RA_INTERFACE_LINES_ALL

RA_INTERFACE_SALESCREDITS_ALL :

RA_INTERFACE_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL

Autoinvoice program when executed fetches the record from interface tables, validates the data

and

correct records are pushed to base tables of AR.

# RECEIVABLE

Imported and manually entered Invoices are corrected and are printed.

Printed Invoice are sent to Customer.

Collect the payments from customer.

Post the receipts.

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

Time for some serious Business folks......

We will go through the one of the most important cycles in Oracle Applications.

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT :

-----------------------------

What is Supply Chain Management?

A SUPPLY CHAIN is a network of supplier, manufacturing, assembly, distribution, and logistics

facilities that perform the functions of procurement of materials, transformation of these materials

into intermediate and finished products, and the distribution of these products to customers.

Supply

chains arise in both manufacturing and service organizations. SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

(SCM) is a systems approach to managing the entire flow of information, materials, and services

from raw materials suppliers through factories and warehouses to the end customer.

Let us first understand what these two terms, namely, LOGISTICS and SCM mean.

Simply stating, LOGISTICS is a logical extension of transportation and its related areas to

achieve an efficient and effective goods distribution system. Thus, logistics encompasses the

activities of inventory management, order processing, warehouse and materials handling and

physical distribution.

SCM is the design and operation of the physical and managerial systems needed to transfer

goods and services from vendor to customer in an effective and efficient manner.Thus, SCM

integrates various links involved in the customer order fulfilment, viz., supplier, transporter,

manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer and consumer and transforms the business processes that

bring products and services to the market place. In this way, SCM includes all those business

process involved in the value chain of an organisation that transform a concept into product and

take it to the market.

SCM

SCM can easily be differentiated from logistics. While logistics is a function, SCM is a process

involving entire business activity.

Phase 1: Physical distribution management: This phase is better characterised as ‘inventorypush

phase when manufacturing was handled in isolation and output was pushed down to the finished

goods warehouses.

Phase II : Integrated logistics management : This phase recognised the importance of integrating

operations within the organisation like sales, procurement, manufacturing, warehousing,

distribution and transportation to achieve an efficient and effective goods distribution system.

Phase III : The graduation of logistics management to its modern day avatar is better known as

‘SCM’. SCM extends the scope to link external partners like suppliers, vendors, distributors and

customers with a view to deliver enhanced customer and economic value through synchronized

management of the flow of physical goods and associated information from source to

consumption.

INVOLVES

--------------------

• Order management.

• Fulfilment and logistics.

• Planning and scheduling.

• Supplier relationship and sourcing.

• Manufacturing.

• Asset management and maintenance.

• Product lifecycle management.

• Projects.

• Service.

MOTO

---------------------

• Reduced operational costs.

• Improved flow of supplies.

• Reduction of delays in distribution and increased customer satisfaction.

• Brings compelling bottomline benefits to enterprise.

The corporate profitability can be linked to the deliverables of a supply chain with the help of

following equation :

##############################################

Profit = Revenue + Customer service / Cost + Capital employed #

##############################################

DRIVERS

--------------------

First, the expectations of customer for increased value addition, response time sensitivity, need

for reliability, cost consciousness and information sensitivity.

Second, the nature of competition favouring firms that have been in a position to decrease lead

times as well as operational costs.

Third, the recent revolution taken place in the field of information technology has enabled and

encouraged the firms to initiate newer means in the field of distribution management.

Fourth, managers have realized and recognised the need for continuous improvement of process

involved in marketing activity. The attitude of managers has changed in favour of integrating all

activities in the chain from sourcing to consumption.

Fifth, perception of firms to have inventories has changed to JIT philosophy. While money locked

up in inventories leads to poor use of working capital, higher inventories lead to higher lead times

for procurement, manufacture and distribution.

CONCLUSION

-------------------

Though customer has been dictated in the market for long, of late, customer has become

supreme in the context of global competitiveness intensifying on an unabated manner. Obviously,

only those companies are going to be successful that are able to provide goods and services to

customer in time and in a cost effective manner to provide customer delight. This requires to have

competitive advantage. Evidences indicate that every link in supply chain adds to competitive

advantage.

The suppliers (of raw materials, components, and sub-assemblies), manufacturing/assembly

plants, warehouses (central, local, etc.), distributors, retailers, and customers make up the

important players in a supply chain.

The logistics function is also a key element for effective functioning of a supply chain. Logistics

elements are required for agile delivery of raw material/components/sub-assemblies to the plants

(supply logistics); and for rapid delivery of finished products to the customers (distribution

logistics). A realistic supply chain may have multiple end products with shared components,

facilities, and capacities. The Council of Logistics Management defines SCM as “the process of

planning, implementing and controlling efficient flow of raw materials, in-process inventory,

finished goods and related information from point of origin to point of consumption for the purpose

of conforming to customer requirements”
