Frequent cycle counts are crucial for maintaining inventory precision, leading to enhanced operational effectiveness and cost optimization. A critical aspect of this process is categorizing items based on their value, with high-value items demanding more regular counts and low-value items requiring fewer. Once this valuation is determined, items are assigned to specific ABC classes for cycle counting.

Oracle Fusion Cloud Inventory Management allows you to automatically evaluate, categorize, and assign items to ABC classes based on predefined criteria such as on-hand quantity, item cost, and historical usage. Nonetheless, certain scenarios may necessitate more intricate logic for item ranking, which can be executed through an external system. Alternatively, you might be performing cycle counts in an external execution system that doesn't contain the necessary information to appropriately perform ABC classifications and therefore need to export the ABC assignments from Oracle Inventory Management to the external execution system. Now you can create ABC assignments from external systems, export existing assignments, and adjust existing assignments using a REST service.

To support these use cases, you can now create ABC assignments from external systems, export existing assignments, and update assignments using a set of new REST services. The following REST resources have been introduced:

  • ABC Assignment Groups - Provides create and edit access to ABC assignment group details, including the grouping of inventory items based on ranking logic.

  • ABC Classes - Provides create and edit access to ABC class definitions within the inventory, allowing you to manage class-level configurations.

  • ABC Classifications - Provides create and edit access for grouping items into ABC classes based on predefined criteria to support efficient cycle counting.

These REST resources offer flexibility for tighter integration with external systems and enable the automation of the ABC classification processes outside of Oracle Fusion Inventory Management.

This feature enhances your management of ABC class assignments by allowing you to directly control item assignments to specific ABC classes and export existing assignments to external execution platforms.

Steps to Enable

Review the REST service definition in the REST API guides to leverage (available from the Oracle Help Center > your apps service area of interest > APIs & Schema). If you are new to Oracle's REST services you may want to begin with the Quick Start section.

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.
