IMPORTANT Actions and Considerations

Replaced and Removed Features

From time to time, Oracle replaces existing Cloud service features with new features, or removes existing features. Replaced features may be put on a path to removal. As a best practice, you should use the newer version of a replaced feature as soon as the newer version is available.

Module	Removed Feature	Target Removal	Replacement Feature	Replaced In	Additional Information
Global Order Promising	Memory resident, C++-based order promising	24A	High-volume order promising	23A	Starting in update 24A, the C++-based order promising solution will be retired, and all order promising in Oracle Fusion Cloud will be performed using the high-volume order promising solution. You can transition to the new solution at any time by opting in to the High-Volume Order Promising feature. If you use capable to promise or allocated order promising, you must complete some setups before you make this transition. For details, see this Oracle Cloud Customer Connect Event: SCM – Prepare for the Next Generation of Global Order Promising.
Global Order Promising	Available Supplies REST API Order Promises REST API	25C	Global Order Promises REST API	20D	No additional enhancements will be made to the Available Supplies and Order Promises REST services. The services will continue to work until they're removed in 25C, but you should move to the replacement Global Order Promises service at your earliest convenience. The Global Order Promises REST service provides more comprehensive access to order promising features, including availability checking, allocation rules, order scheduling, and supply information. It also delivers higher performance. For details about the Global Order Promises service, see REST API for Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM, available on the Oracle Help Center.
