Generate Intercompany Events for Oracle Transportation Management Interface for Customer Drop Shipments

Financial Orchestration Transfer Prices REST resource is used by applications like Oracle Global Trade Management to print import or export documentation based on who owns the goods at the time of customs clearance. With this update, you can now subscribe to the Transfer Pricing business event generated by Supply Chain Financial Orchestration. This is applicable to customer drop shipments associated with drop ship sales orders, along with sales orders and transfer orders. The event covers all shipment driven business flows and enables a seamless coordination between sales, logistics, and transportation teams, thereby enhancing efficiency in managing intercompany transactions.

The event will be raised as soon the transfer price is computed in the customer facing business node of the drop shipment flow. Here are the event details available when subscribed:

  • Unique identifier of the sales fulfillment (Sales Order fulfillment Identifier).
  • Unique identifier of the source document for which the event is raised (Sales Order transaction identifier).
  • Unit transfer price.
  • Currency code in which the transfer price is computed.
  • Order type code (DROP_SHIP) for customer drop shipments.

You can have a simple configuration with two entities that are supplier facing and customer facing or a multi-node configuration with intermediary organizations. If you have a multi-node orchestration flow configuration, this event will always be raised with the transfer price and currency of the last node.

Earlier, there could have been a time difference between the actual shipment transaction and when the transfer price was available. Now, with the Transfer Pricing business event, external applications that subscribe to this event will know when the transfer price is available within Financial Orchestration. This ensures that the correct transfer price is available on shipping documents.

Steps to enable and configure

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

Tips and considerations

  • You can raise an event manually from the Monitor Financial Orchestration page only after a transfer price is computed.
  • Events are raised as soon as transfer price is computed. There is no need for the intercompany invoicing to complete.
  • There won't be any events raised for sales returns flows.
  • Only simple procurement and complex drop shipments are supported in this update. Simple customer drop shipments or complex procurement with simple drop shipments won't allow any event to be raised. 
  • Events are raised only for the last node in the business flow. There are no events raised for intermediary nodes.
