Oracle E Business Suite R12.2.7 is officially Available Now.
New Functional and Technical Capabilities Across Oracle E-Business Suite
Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.7 includes the following key functional and technical advances
Oracle iProcurement increases support for efficient, consumer-like
shopping, streamlining the on-boarding of new suppliers during non-catalog or spotbuy
request flows
Oracle iProcurement Information Discovery minimizes noncatalog
spending by auto-suggesting catalog items.It provides better visibility into
the status of individual requisition lines as they flow through the approval process
Oracle Purchasing automatically combines multiple requests for the
same supplier approved over a specified period into a single purchase order, helping
buyers to obtain volume-based discounts.
In addition, Oracle Purchasing validates
spending per PO line against a blanket purchase agreement, giving buyers more
granular control over spending.
With a new search feature in Oracle Procurement
Contracts, buyers can quickly locate contracts and other purchasing documents that
contain specific text or phrases
Oracle Supplier Lifecycle Management further
automates recurring supplier assessments to reduce manual effort. Buyers and
suppliers can assign purposes to each supplier contact and address to improve
communication and responsiveness.
Oracle Project Procurement, a module introduced earlier in
the 12.2 release cycle, enables collaboration between project planners, buyers, and
suppliers. Release 12.2.7 improves that collaboration with easy sharing of technical
specifications across the project procurement flow
Project managers have greater
visibility into buyer notes and completion dates so they can track project delays and
anticipate the cascading effects.
A new capability to categorize procurement
activities by need-by date instead of by month allows for more precise procurement
planning across projects
A new, forecasted work plan provides task managers the information they
need to deliver on project commitments while they await approval of changes to the
baseline work plan.
Oracle Advanced Project Planning and Control increases
visibility into performance metrics around schedule of values, letting project
managers plan, monitor, and manage resource assignments more effectively.
Oracle Order Management extends support for flexible
ordering of products, services, subscriptions and warranties with a new milestone
billing option.
This option lets customers with long lead times for custom-designed
equipment define the amount or percentage to be billed at each interim milestone.
Support for manual item substitution after order booking avoids the overhead of
cancelling and recreating order lines.
Oracle Quoting allows the quote approval
process to vary by line of business
With a new search feature in Oracle Sales
Contracts, contract administrators can quickly locate contracts and other sales
documents that contain specific text or phrases
Oracle Inventory Management provides a configurable HTML interface for
the Materials Workbench as an alternative to the existing Forms interface. The HTML
interface supports faceted search and a browsing approach that makes it easier to
locate materials
Tighter integration between the Oracle Warehouse Management
shipping function and the Oracle Transportation Management module enables better
optimization of transportation planning.
In Oracle Discrete Manufacturing, an improved UI for reviewing and
editing operator times for multiple-step operations reduces supervisor effort
Operators can improve their productivity by reporting completion of a group of related
work orders. Automated, time-based sampling of an Oracle Process Manufacturing
run saves time while improving outcomes.
Advanced supply chain planners can
manage and simulate changes in supplier capacity using an improved ADF UI.
These features are available in Value Chain Planning 12.2.6.2.
Oracle Enterprise Asset Management allows mass update of
multiple work orders to speed work order planning. WebADI support for extended
attributes streamlines the maintenance of Installed Base information.

considered when scheduling field service tasks

Oracle
Depot Repair Information Discovery delivers better financial insights via costs,
charges and margin graphs. Depot repair managers can convert insight into action
with new options for drill-down and mass update.
Oracle Channel Revenue Management reduces time and effort with
approval rules that apply to claims in any currency. With easier integration to thirdparty
applications (a.k.a. “standalone support”), Oracle Channel Revenue
Management enables key channel flows involving non E-Business Suite applications.
Using Oracle Time and Labor, managers can enter
timecards for terminated employees to enable timely payroll processing.
Oracle
Payroll delivers a modernized, flexible interface to help administrators easily review
and update assignment sets that determine which people are included in a payroll
run
Oracle Learning Management lets a learner easily track progress in an online
assessment and quickly navigate to any assessment question.
Oracle Application Framework (OAF) eases HTML page
personalization with support for What You See is What You Get (WYSIWYG)
updates. Administrators can define page themes or use pre-defined page themes to
control background color, border color, prompt appearance, and other visual
attributes across UIs. OAF’s theme support, analogous to that in Oracle’s Cloud
Applications, facilitates a consistent, cross-product line user experience.
