E Appendix: RMF CS Integration

MFP Cloud Service supports integration with Oracle Retail Merchandising Foundation Cloud Service (RMF CS). If a retailer has RMF CS as the source system for inventory and transactional data, they can readily integrate to get foundation hierarchy data, inventory, and transactional data from RMF Cloud Service. This section provides details on the list of hierarchies and data files that are integrated with Oracle Retail Merchandising Foundation Cloud Service.

Integration Assumptions

Following is a list of requirements/assumptions for integration with RMF CS:

  • MFP Channel is mapped to RMF CS Area.

  • Warehouses are sent to MFP as locations. RMF CS Warehouses holds inventory and on-order data. RMF CS Warehouses needs to be mapped to MFP Channels within MFP in order to get the true picture of inventory and on-order data.

  • RMF CS sends hierarchy and data files on a weekly basis.

  • RMF CS sends the data at item level, so MFP needs to be implemented with the lowest data load intersection as item.

  • RMF CS sends all data based on only one primary currency. It also sends currency conversion rates for different currencies. That can be used within MFP to plan and view data on different local currencies.

Integrated Hierarchy and Data Files

RMF CS sends the following sets of hierarchy and data files. All RMF CS files are copied to the common cloud service share location from where MFP Cloud Service can pick up the files for further processing. Interface files need to be transformed to format the files into the MFP required format to filter columns not used and split and create different group of files as needed by MFP. MFP Configured Batch Process will transform the files to the MFP required formats, rename the final files as needed by MFP, and copy them to the domain input location for subsequent hierarchy or measure load processing. For each of the hierarchy and data files, RMF CS also sends a trigger file with the same name as the original file with the extension .complete. The MFP Cloud Service batch process waits for the trigger files to start processing the corresponding data or hierarchy file. After processing, it deletes those trigger files.

Any required data files that are not coming as part of the RMF CS interface need to be loaded in the weekly batch and grouped as load_non_rms in the batch control file. The data files will be loaded as part of the weekly batch.

Hierarchy Files

The following hierarchy files are provided by RMF CS and need to be transformed to the MFP format before loading them into MFP Cloud Service. For each hierarchy file, RMF CS only sends the base and alternate dimensions of the hierarchies and not the user alternate rollups.

Calendar Hierarchy - rms_clnd.csv.dat

RMF CS sends the calendar hierarchy file without calendar labels. Calendar labels are added in the weekly batch process by calling the MFP custom script (ra_custom) with the parameter rms_clnd_label, which adds the calendar labels. If a customer wants to use different calendar labels, they can load their preferred calendar labels using generic hierarchy position translations enabled for the calendar hierarchy.

RMF CS sends the calendar hierarchy file with dates for five years. Based on the current date, two year historical dates, current year dates, and two future year dates.

The following table contains the list of column contents from the file. Only required columns for MFP are filtered by the transform process.

Field Name Field Description MFP Mapping
Day The date from which the 4-5-4 data was derived, in YYYYMMDD format. day
Week The end of week date for the day, in YYYYMMDD format. week
Month The 4-5-4 month of the year, valid values 1 to 12. mnth
Quarter The 4-5-4 quarter of the year, valid values 1 to 4. qtr
Half The 4-5-4 half of the year, valid values 1 or 2. half
Year The 4-5-4 year. year
week_of_year The 4-5-4 week of the year, valid values 1 to 53. woyr
day_of_week The day number within the week, valid values 1 to 7.

Warehouse Transformation

In RMF CS, warehouses hold inventory, receipts, and on-order data which are not mapped to any specific channels. In MFP, plans are only created at the MFP Channel level. In order to get the full picture of inventory for a channel, each warehouse location needs to be mapped to a channel within MFP using the Warehouse Mapping workbook template in Location Setup or the mapping needs to be loaded to the measure addvchwhmapt.

After the mapping data is set, the weekly batch process will transform the loaded inventory, receipts, and on-order data for those warehouses to assigned channels. This can also be done by running the batch Online Administration Tool task Transform RMS Warehouse Data. That transform process will also spread warehouse metrics to the store level for the Location Plan based on actuals and be added as part of actuals, so that the seeded location level plans can include the warehouse level plan when aggregated at the channel level. Warehouse does not need to be planned separately in the location level plan.

Batch Tasks Specific to RMF CS Integration

The following sets of Online Administration Tools tasks are pre-configured in Configured Batch Tasks to support RMF CS integration. For more details about running the tasks, see the Oracle Retail Merchandise Financial Planning Cloud Service and Oracle Retail Merchandise Financial Planning Enterprise Edition Cloud Service Administration Guide.

  • Run Batch Task Group > Weekly Batch

    If Enable RMF CS Integration is set to true, the existing Weekly Batch task will run additional tasks to process the RMF CS files. It runs additional calculations in batch to process RMF CS data into the required planning measures. It also runs the transformation of RMF CS Warehouse data as part of the weekly batch.

  • Run Batch Task Group > Transform RMS Files

    This task only transforms all hierarchy and data files to the MFP required format and copies the hierarchy files to the SFTP output as rms_hier.zip. It will not load those files.

    Typically, this can be used during initial installation to transform the initial set of RMF CS files and rebuild the domain with the initial set of RMF CS hierarchy files.

  • Run Batch Task Group > Transform RMS Warehouse Data

    Whenever there is any change in the warehouse mapping, users can schedule this task to transform the RMF CS Warehouse data to channels. This task also gets called as part of the Weekly Batch with RMS.

  • Run Batch Measure Load Group > RMS Interface Data

    This task only loads the set of transformed RMF CS Interface files.

Implementation Steps for RMF CS Integration

If RMF CS needs to be integrated as part of an initial implementation, then the following needs to be done in this order:

  1. Install MFP Cloud Service using the MFP Installer. It will install MFP with the default GA configuration and the load intersection set as Sub-Class.

  2. Upload the RMF CS Hierarchy and data files for the initial conversion data.

  3. Run the Transform RMS Files batch task to transform hierarchy files to MFP format. Those will be copied to SFTP output.

  4. Upload the generated hierarchy files and also additional hierarchy files for VAT and Custom Messages (cmsh) from the GA data set into the SFTP server INCOMING_FTP_PATH/input.

  5. Using the Self-Service Administration Task in the bootstrap domain, rebuild the domain with the plug-in option selected for load intersection as "Item" and without selecting "Use GA Data." The above process will rebuild the domain with the load intersection as Item using the initial set of RMF CS hierarchy files.
