Order to Cash Cycle in Brief:

The Order to Cash Process flow starts with entering the order with a standard item into system. When

you enter an order, the item are validated in oracle inventory, the price is calculated for the items using

the pricing engine; the availability of the items are checked and may be reserved. Once all the required

fields are entered on both the header and the lines, you can book the order. When you click on the Book

Order button, the API OEXUBOKB.pls, checks if the order is eligible for booking. If eligible the order is

booked and the order header status would change to booked. The next step is the pick release with

which you move the items from the warehouse to the staging area. The next step is to ship confirm, to

indicate that the items are loaded on to the carrier from the staging area. When you run Ship Confirm,

the system decrements inventory and updates sales order line status. This information is then

transferred through the Auto Invoice to Account Receivables for invoicing. Then you sent the invoice to

your customer for the items shipped and then perform the cash management and bank reconciliations.

Order Management receives detailed item information from the Inventory application and price list

information from the Pricing application. Orders and returns can be entered manually or imported

through an EDI, CRM, or external source. Once in the system the order is ready to be pick released and

shipped, if needed by the Shipping application. It can then proceed through the Auto Invoice program

into the Oracle Receivables application to be invoiced. All of the accounting information is transferred to

the General Ledger by the Inventory and Receivables applications.

The required fields to enter on the sales order header are the customer name or number and order

type. Other values such as Ship-To Address, Bill-To Address, Shipping Method, and Price List default. The

order number is generated based on the order type. The required fields to enter on the sales order lines

are Ordered Item and Quantity. Again, based on defaulting rules and setups in Pricing, Inventory andShipping, the other values would default on the sales order line.

Setup steps for executing the Order to Cash flow with a standard item:

Prior to order entry, the items should be created / defined in inventory module using the master items

screen and assigned to the shipping organization.Check the blog post for the related setups

Add the item to the price list or create a new price list.

Transaction Type must be defined

Document Sequence must be assigned to the document category.

Customers must be defined

Salespersons must be defined

Shipping Roles should be granted to the user.

Ensure that the items are available in your shipping sub inventory or perform miscellaneous

transactions to augment the same.

2. Schedule order:

Check if the order lines are scheduled or not. If any of the order line is in BOOKED status, it means that

the order line is not yet scheduled.

Run theSchedule Orders concurrent program to schedule the order. After the concurrent program is

scheduled the order line will move to Awaiting Shippingstatus.

Still if the order lines do not go to Awaiting Shipping, check for any holdson the order line/ header.

Release the holds (if any) and re-run theSchedule Order program.

You can even schedule the order line in the following way: Right click on the order line and progress

the line to schedule it. Check the OM scheduling related setups

Order tables:

OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL.visible_demand_flag: visible_demand_flag= Yes lines will be made available as

Demanded to Planning

Shipping tables: The shipping tables get populated after order scheduling.

WSH_DELIVERY_DETAILS.released_status: monitors the shipping process of the order line

WSH_DELIVERY_ASSIGNMENTS: Assigns delivery details to a delivery and/or a parent delivery detail.

Once the order is booked from the application, following changes occur in the backend

OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL (flow_status_code as BOOKED, booked_flag updated to Y)

OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL (flow_status_code as AWAITING_SHIPPING, booked_flag updated Y)

Since the order is now booked, delivery details of the order are created in WSH_DELIVERY_DETAILS

table. WSH_DELIVERY_DETAILS has delivery lines and LPNs.

OOL.line_id = WDD.source_line_id

These delivery details information can been viewed form Shipping Transactions Form and the

delivery status in the application will be as Ready to Release

6/15

WSH_DELIVERY_DETAILS.released_status =R

WSH_DELIVERY_DETAILS.Release_Status can have any of the below valid values

WSH_DELIVERY_ASSIGNMENTS (WDA) assigns delivery details to a delivery and/or a parent delivery

detail (LPN).

WDA.delivery_detail_id = WDD.delivery_detail_id

WSH_DELIVERY_ASSIGNMENTS.delivery_id will be NULL as still pick release operation is not performed

as final delivery is not yet created.

At the same time when order is booked Demand interface program is triggered in the background

and demand of the item with specified quantity is created and these demand information is stored inMTL_DEMAND.

MTL_DEMAND.demand_source_line = OOL.line_id

3. Pick Releasethe Sales Order

WSH_DELIVERY_DETAILS. released_status=Y (Released)

WSH_DELIVERY_ASSIGNMENTS, MTL_ONHAND_QUANTITIES are updated accordingly

Note: Pick Confirm step can be eliminated if Auto Pick Confirm is selected as YES while performed

Verify the details on the Confirm Delivery window and click OK and close the window.

5. Run the Interface Trip StopSRS Program

The Interface Trip Stop (ITS) will be trigger at the time of Shipping if check box Defer Interface is not

check. ITS can also be executed from concurrent request.

Interface Trip Stop has two main components:

1. Update the Order Management Data (oe_order_lines_all)

2. Trigger the Inventory Interface (to Update the Inventory tables)

ITS updates the following fields on oe_order_lines_all table:

Shipped_quantity

Shipping_quantity

Actual_shipment_date

Inventory Interface will be trigger only if the first part, that means related to OM has successfully

completed and flag OE_INTERFACED_FLAG = Y on WSH_DELIVERY_DETAILS. If value of this flag is N/P

11/15

then Inventory Interface will never be triggered. And even if you try to submit the Inventory Interface

from SRS, delivery detail with oe_interfaced_flag =N will never be picked up.

o oe_interfaced_flag = Y -- signifies ITS has interfaced shipping data to OM

o inv_interfaced_flag = Y -- signifies ITS has interfaced shipping data to INV

Navigate to Shipping Interfaces window (Shipping Interfaces Run)

Select the Interface Trip Stop - SRS Program from the LOVs

On the parameters window enter

Mode = All

Click on the OK button and then on the Submit button:

6. Run the Master AutoInvoice Program
