Before applying the RMS 16.0.2 patch release, be sure that:
RMS 16.0 has been installed.
ReSA 16.0 has been installed.
Before applying the new files over your code:
Note whether any modules have been customized. If so, the customizations must be reapplied to the new version of the module, or the fix may need to be applied to the custom version of the code.
Copy the original files to a different directory before you copy over them, in case you need to refer to them at a later date.
Back up data before running any script, because the scripts provided do not preserve data. See defect reports for details.
Check with your database administrator to determine whether your database should be analyzed after a script is run. In many cases, an analysis of the database is necessary to take advantage of new or modified indexes intended to improve performance of the application.
A defect fix is a modification to the base Oracle Retail code (for example, a bug fix, a performance enhancement, or a functional enhancement). Each defect fix that is included in this patch has a corresponding defect report titled <defect-number>.PDF (for example, 1234567.PDF) that is posted to My Oracle Support at the following location: Oracle Retail Defect Document Listings (MOS ID:2021275.1).
In the same folder, the file named DEFECT MODULE XREF RMS 16.0.1.XLS lists every defect number and the modules and scripts that are included in the patch. Review each defect report carefully before implementing the defect fixes. Note that scripts do not preserve data. Make sure that all data is backed up before you run any script.
The following key functional enhancements are included in this release.
RTLOG accepts Virtual Warehouse for Customer Order Return as an input parameter and the Customer Order Return will then post correctly.
When posting a negative TRAN_CODE 15 record, VAT is calculated correctly.
VAT inclusive / exclusive values is calculated using VAT Rate rather than VAT Amount.
If the store sends VAT-inclusive retails and stkldgr_vat_incl_retl_ind = N, the VAT-exclusive amounts are calculated as:
POSU retail / (1 + VAT rate / 100)
If the store is sending VAT-exclusive retails and stkldgr_vat_incl_retl_ind = Y, the VAT-inclusive amount are calculated as:
POSU retail * (1 + VAT rate / 100)
Other TRAN_CODE values are also posted correctly.
UDAs are supported through XITEM and spreadsheet upload.
A new Update option is available in the Action dropdown menu.
A new New UDA Text column is now in the Free Form UDAs sheet.
A new New UDA Date column is now in the Date UDAs sheet.
A new New UDA Value column is now in the LOV UDAs sheet.
The values in these new columns will determine the specific UDA to update when the user performs the Update action. Existing validations on the UDA text, date and value will also apply to the new columns.
The following integration enhancements are included in this release.
The following changes have been made to the RMS integration with RPM:
When creating a new child for a parent item, RMS only checks for Retail by Zone Completion for non-approved items, then calls the RPM function to populate the retail by zone for a parent item when trying to create a new child item.
When ranging on the fly during transaction processing (transfer, inventory adjustment, sales/returns), if the newly ranged item/location is on an active clearance, the transaction that triggered the ranging process is written with the clearance retail value.
When deleting a merchandise level below Department (for example, Class or Subclass) in RMS, the same level will also be deleted from the RPM_MERCH_RETAIL_DEF table in RPM.
