Use the New Transfer Price REST Resource to Get Estimated Transfer Price for Shipment and Drop Ship Flows
With changing business environments and new stringent regulations in place for global trades, organizations have the need to know the unit sale price and transfer price details at the time of order creation. This is so that the shipping documents can be generated along with actual shipments that can adhere to the export licensing requirements for multiple drop shipments of both ship from stock and ship from supplier flows. When you’re operating in high volume environments, REST APIs are one of the most effective ways to create or manage a large number of transactions. You can now retrieve an estimated transfer price quickly and effectively at any given time by using the new REST service Estimated Transfer Price for Sales Order Shipments. This facilitates the generation of documentation required for shipping transactions and ensures that accurate pricing estimates are available in real time.
The following parameters are considered to ensure better estimate of the transfer price while calling the REST service:
| Parameters | Mandatory | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Selling Business Unit | Yes |
This is the selling PCBU on the Sales Order. It is mapped to the To BU on the Shipment Financial Flow Agreement and is mapped as Selling BU in Drop Ship Financial Flow. |
| Ship-from Inventory Organization Code (From Org in FOS Financial Flow Agreement) | Yes | This is the physical inventory organization for ship from stock drop shipment flows. It is the requisition organization for ship from supplier drop shipment flows (Customer Drop Shipments) |
| Item Number | Yes | |
| Ordered UOM | Yes | |
| Ship-from BU (From BU in FOS Financial Flow Agreement) | In case of drop ship flows, the Requisition BU on the OM Order is passed. | |
|
Transaction Date |
This is defaulted to the system date. | |
|
Ordered Unit Price |
This value is passed for source document based transfer pricing setup. | |
|
Ordered Currency |
This value is passed for source document based transfer pricing setup. | |
|
Drop Ship Flag |
If the sales order is for customer drop shipments, this field is set to true. |
This feature lets you view the estimated transfer price for your intercompany financial flow even before the actual shipment is created.
Steps to Enable

Tips And Considerations
- In case of PTO or kit items, the estimated transfer will be computed only for the shippable items.
- Estimated transfer price will always be returned in the currency defined as per the document and accounting rule configuration associated with financial flow agreement.
- The process of financial flow agreement identification for transfer price estimate is similar to when an actual shipment event enrichment happens.
- Since there isn't an actual transaction created, the transfer price amount used for accounting purposes could be the same or different from the estimated transfer price returned at the time of order creation.
Key Resources
- Refer to the Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM: Implementing Manufacturing and Supply Chain Materials Management guide, available on the Oracle Help Center.
