Oracle Pedigree and Serialization Manager Explained

Oracle Pedigree and Serialization Manager (OPSM) is an application that enables companies to manage serialization of products and share serialized product data across the supply chain. OPSM can integrate with your existing manufacturing, shipping, and receiving transactional systems, Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), or it can operate as a standalone application. OPSM can support multiple transactional or EBS systems integrated to a single instance of OPSM. The multiple transactional or EBS systems may be multiple instances managed within your company or systems managed by your manufacturing and logistics partners.

For more information on OPSM, see the Oracle Pedigree and Serialization Manager Process Guide.

For more information on the integration between OPSM and EBS, see Oracle Serialization and Process Tracking Integration Pack for Oracle Pedigree and Serialization Manager and Oracle E-Business Suite Guide for OPSM Release 2.0.
