Get Started with Integrating Order Management with Other Oracle Applications

Enable the features you need and determine whether you need a service mapping, integration algorithm, or both when you integrate Order Management with another Oracle application.

Enable Feature

Enable the feature you need.

1. Go to the Setup and Maintenance work area, then select the Order Management offering.

2. Click Actions > Change Feature Selection.

3. On the Edit Features page, in the Enable Custom Payloads for Downstream Integration row, click Features.

4. Add a check mark to the options you need.

   Option	Enables Integration With
   Drop Ship	Oracle Procurement
   Invoice	Oracle Receivables
   Return	Oracle Receiving
   Shipment	Oracle Shipping

   

   Note

   • Each integration adds processing overhead. To improve performance, enable only the integrations you need.

   • If you don't enable the feature, then you can still send a predefined SDO payload to your fulfillment system, but you can't send a payload that includes your service mapping or integration algorithm.

5. Click Save and Close, then click Done.

Service Mapping or Integration Algorithm?

Determine whether you need a service mapping, integration algorithm, or both.

Note

Object	Usage
Service mapping	Map an attribute from an entity in the view object that you're using as the source. Don't use an integration algorithm to do this mapping.
Integration algorithm	Map the attributes: From an entity other than the view object that you're using as the source. For example, use an algorithm to map an attribute from the order header to an interface line. With an extensible flexfield. To a descriptive flexfield in Accounts Receivable.

The Service Mappings page and Algorithms page use values that are case sensitive. Enter exact names consistently, including _ (underscore), upper case, and lower case letters.

Apply guidelines when you set up your service mapping.

• Use a service mapping to map attributes from entities in the source view object. Don't use an integration algorithm to map them.

• If you add an attribute in the Sources tab, then make sure you also add it on the Services tab for each entity. If you forget to add it in Services, then the algorithm might run but not include your attribute in the payload.

• Use an expression or view object attribute to assign a value.

• Use the Expressions attribute to implement simple logic, such as If, If Then, If Then Else, or to concatenate.

• If you add an extensible flexfield.

  • Add it in the Entities tab, Sources tab, and Services tab. Add it in all three tabs. Don't add it in only one or two of these tabs.

  • Add an entity for your extensible flexfield one time for each context that you require.

  • Reuse an entity for your extensible flexfield in more than one service, as necessary.

Set up integration algorithms.

• Use an algorithm to map attributes from entities other than the view object or when you use a flexfield.

• Remember to enter the algorithm name on the Services tab.

• Remember to publish your algorithm.

• If you encounter a runtime error when a task runs, then correct the algorithm and recover the task.
