Oracle Order Management Setup Steps

The following list displays all the implementation setups training for Oracle Order Management

Step 1: Multiple Organizations

Define multiple organizations in Oracle Inventory. This step is required.

Step 2: Multi-Org Access Control

The Multi-Org Access Control (MOAC) feature enables users to access to one or more Operating Units within one user responsibility. Please refer to the Oracle Applications Multiple Organizations Implementation Guide for more information.

Step 3: Flexfields

Define key and descriptive flexfields to capture additional information about orders and transactions.

This step is required for Key Flexfields, and optional if you plan on using the functionality surrounding Descriptive Flexfields. Several defaulting values are provided.

Step 4: Inventory Organizations

Define inventory organizations (warehouses), parameters, sub inventories, and picking rules in Oracle Inventory.

You must define at least one item validation organization and at least one organization that acts as an inventory source for orders fulfilled internally. If you plan to drop ship some orders, you must also define at least one logical organization for receiving purposes (Since for Drop ship orders virtual receipts are created against the logical organizations). Your item validation organization can be the same as your inventory source or your logical receiving organization, but you cannot use one organization for all three purposes. See Step 5 for setting your item validation organization.

This step is required.

Step 5: Profile Options

Define profile options to specify certain implementation parameters, processing options, and system options. This step is required.

Step 6: Parameters

Set your Order Management System Parameters to validate items, enable customer relationships, and operating unit defaults. This step is required.

Step 7: Invoicing

Define invoicing information, including payment terms, invoicing and accounting rules, Auto accounting parameters, territories, and invoice sources. This step is required if you plan on transferring invoicing information to Oracle Receivables. Several defaulting values are provided.

Step 8: Salespersons

Define information on your sales representatives. This step is optional.

Step 9: Tax

Define tax features, such as codes, rates, exceptions, and exemptions. This step is required.

Step 10: QuickCodes

Define QuickCodes that provide custom values for many lists of values throughout Order Management.

This step is required if you plan on creating user defined Quick codes for utilization within Order Management. Defaulting values are provided.

Step 11: Workflow

Define header and line processing flows to meet different header and line type requirements.

This step is required.

Step 12: Document Sequences (Order Numbering)

Define Document Sequences for automatic or manual numbering of orders. This step is required.

Step 13: Order Import Sources

Define sources for importing orders into Order Management. This step is required if you plan on importing orders or returns into Order Management.

Step 14: Units of Measure

Define the units of measure in which you supply items. This step is required.

Step 15: Item Information

Define item information, including item attribute controls, categories, and statuses. This step is required.

Step 16: Items

Define the items that you sell, as well as container items. This step is required.

Step 17: Configurations

Define the configurations that you sell. This step is required if you plan on generating orders or returns for configured items. Several defaulting values are provided.

Step 18: Pricing

Define price lists for each combination of item and unit of measure that you sell. Optionally, you can define pricing rules and parameters to add flexibility. For more information about pricing setup and implementation, refer to the Oracle Advanced Pricing Implementation Manual. This step is required.

Step 19: Customer Classes

Define customer profile classes.

This step is required if you plan on using the functionality surrounding Customer Profiles. Several defaulting values are provided.

Step 20: Customers

Define information on your customers. This step is required.

Step 21: Item Cross References

Define item cross references for ordering by customer part number, UPC, or any generic item number.

This step is required if you plan on using the functionality surrounding item cross referencing. Several defaulting values have been provided.

Step 22: Sourcing

Define your sourcing rules for scheduling supply chain ATP functions. This step is optional.

Step 23: Order Management Transaction Types (Sales Documents)

Define Order Management transaction types to classify sales documents. For each order type, you can assign a default price list, defaulting rules, order lines, return lines, line types, workflow assignments, payment terms, and freight terms.

Note: Order Management provides NO seeded OM transaction types. For existing Oracle Order Entry customers, Order Management will update existing Order Types to OM transaction type during the upgrade process. This step is required.

Step 24: Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)

Set up your Cost of Goods Sold Accounting Flexfield combination (COGS Account) in Oracle Inventory.This step is required if you plan on utilizing the functionality surrounding COGS.

Step 25: Processing Constraints

Define processing constraints to prevent users from adding updating, deleting, splitting lines, and cancelling sales documents information beyond certain points in your business flows. Use the constraints Order Management provides, which prevent data integrity violations, or create your own. This step is optional. Several default values for processing constraints have been defined.

Step 26: Defaulting Rules

Define defaulting rules to determine the source and prioritization for defaulting order information to reduce the amount of information you must enter manually in the Sales Orders window. This step is optional. Several Defaulting rules and corresponding values for have been defined.

Step 27: Credit Checking

Define your credit checking rules. This step is required if you plan on performing any type of order credit checking.

Define standard documents to attach automatically to sales documents. This step is optional.

Step 30: Freight Charges and Carriers
