Create Purchase Orders in Alternative UOMs

Use Oracle Supply Chain Orchestration to create a purchase order in an alternative UOM when you need to fulfil a purchase request from Oracle Supply Chain Planning.

The alternative UOM is a UOM that isn't the primary UOM.

 Realize these benefits:

• Receive a purchase request from Supply Chain Planning in an alternative UOM.
• Receive the unit price in an alternative UOM.
• Send a purchase request with the quantity and unit price in an alternative UOM to Oracle Procurement.
• Create a purchase requisition and a purchase order in an alternative UOM.

Before update 25D, Supply Chain Orchestration could receive a supply request from Supply Chain Planning only in the primary UOM. Starting with update 25D, Supply Chain Orchestration can receive the request in an alternative UOM.

Supply Chain Planning will:

•  Release the supply request to Supply Chain Orchestration in the alternative UOM for the quantity and the unit price.
• If the unit price isn't in the alternative UOM, then Planning will continue to release the supply request to Supply Chain Orchestration in the primary UOM.
• Release the request to buy supply with the quantity and the unit price in the alternative UOM to Supply Chain Orchestration so Procurement can create purchase requisitions and purchase orders in the purchasing UOM. If the price isn't in the alternative UOM in the buy request, then Planning will release that request with the quantity in the primary UOM so Procurement can create a purchase requisition and purchase order.

Steps to Enable

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

Tips And Considerations

• Supply Chain Planning will release make orders and transfer orders in the primary UOM.
• If you need to release a supply request that's in the alternative UOM to Supply Chain Orchestration, and if you need to create a purchase requisition in the alternative UOM or Purchasing's UOM, then the supply request's unit price must be in the alternative UOM.
