1. Implementing Order Management
  2. Create Direct Links to Order Management Pages

Create Direct Links to Order Management Pages

Create a direct link from your application or an Oracle Application to a page in the Order Management work area.

For example, assume you have a legacy application named VisionSCM that your field support team uses during maintenance calls. Your service team is on site at your Computer Service and Rentals customer to service the AS9000 Server Array, and needs to get quickly from VisionSCM to the sales order in the Order Management work area so they can view order details while they're servicing the equipment. The service team also needs to send an email to a parts supplier where having a direct link in the email would expedite getting the correct part.

The service team also needs to send an email to a parts supplier where having a direct link in the email would expedite getting the correct part.

Here's the generic format for you direct link.

https://host:port/fndSetup/faces/deeplink?objType=SALES_ORDER&action=actionVIEW&objKey=objectKey

where

Code

Description

host

The name of the server that hosts your implementation of Order Management.

For example, assume the Vision Operations organization uses a server named visionServer.

port

The port on your server that you use to host your implementation of Order Management.

Assume Vision Operations uses port 7011 on visionServer.

action

The action to take when doing the direct link. Use one of these values.

  • VIEW

  • FULFILLMENT_VIEW

  • CREATE

VIEW&objKey

A combination that identifies the type of view you're linking to and a value that uniquely identifies that object.

Here are the values you can use for VIEW.

  • HeaderId

  • OrderNumber

  • SourceTransactionNumber

  • SourceTransactionId

  • SourceTransactionSystem

  • ChangeVersionNumber

  • DraftOrderFlag

The value for objKey uniquely identifies the object you're linking to.

Link to the Overview Page

Set action to NONE or don't include it in your link. Set objType to SALES_ORDER. For example:

https://visionServer:7011/fndSetup/faces/deeplink?objType=SALES_ORDER

Link to Sales Order

Set objType to SALES_ORDER.

Set action to VIEW.

Link According To

Example

HeaderId

Link to the sales order that has a HeaderId of 300100181471495.

https://visionServer:7011/fndSetup/faces/deeplink?objType=SALES_ORDER&action=VIEW&objKey=HeaderId=300100181471495

HeaderId is different from the sales order number, such as 519810.

OrderNumber

Link to the sales order that has an OrderNumber of 519810.

https://visionServer:7011/fndSetup/faces/deeplink?objType=SALES_ORDER&action=VIEW&objKey=OrderNumber=519810

If OrderNumber isn't unique, then use SourceOrderSystem to identify the source order.

SourceTransactionNumber

Link to the sales order that you imported for source transaction 507252 from the GPR source system.

https://visionServer:7011/fndSetup/faces/deeplink?objType=SALES_ORDER&action=VIEW&objKey=SourceTransactionNumber=507252;SourceTransactionSystem=GPR

SourceTransactionId

Link to the sales order that you imported for source transaction Id 300100177124844 from the GPR source system.

https://visionServer:7011/fndSetup/faces/deeplink?objType=SALES_ORDER&action=VIEW&objKey=SourceTransactionId=300100177124844;SourceTransactionSystem=GPR

ChangeVersionNumber

Link to version 2 of the sales order that you imported for source transaction Id 300100177124844 from the GPR source system.

https://visionServer:7011/fndSetup/faces/deeplink?objType=SALES_ORDER&action=VIEW&objKey=SourceTransactionId=300100177124844;SourceTransactionSystem=GPR;ChangeVersionNumber=2

DraftOrderFlag

Link to the draft version of sales order 504121.

http:// visionServer:7011/fscmUI/faces/deeplink?objType=SALES_ORDER&action=VIEW&objKey=OrderNumber=504121;DraftOrderFlag=true

For HeaderId, OrderNumber, SourceTransactionNumber, and SourceTransactionId.

  • If you already submitted the sales order to fulfillment, then the link displays the sales order in the same view that you see when you click Tasks > Manage Orders in the Order Management work area.

    Order: Computer Service and Rentals - 519810 - Processing

  • If the sales order is in Draft status, then the link displays the draft order.

Link to Sales Order in Fulfillment View

Set objType to SALES_ORDER.

Set action to FULFILLMENT_VIEW.

Link According To

Example

HeaderId

Link to the sales order that has a HeaderId of 300100181471495.

https://visionServer:7011/fndSetup/faces/deeplink?objType=SALES_ORDER&action=FULFILLMENT_VIEW&objKey=HeaderId=300100181471495

OrderNumber

Link to the sales order that has an OrderNumber of 519810.

https://visionServer:7011/fndSetup/faces/deeplink?objType=SALES_ORDER&action=FULFILLMENT_VIEW&objKey=OrderNumber=519810

If OrderNumber isn't unique, then use SourceOrderSystem to identify the source order.

SourceTransactionNumber

Link to the sales order that you imported for source transaction 507252 from the GPR source system.

https://visionServer:7011/fndSetup/faces/deeplink?objType=SALES_ORDER&action=FULFILLMENT_VIEW&objKey=SourceTransactionNumber=507252;SourceTransactionSystem=GPR

SourceTransactionId

Link to the sales order that you imported for source transaction Id 300100177124844 from the GPR source system.

https://visionServer:7011/fndSetup/faces/deeplink?objType=SALES_ORDER&action=FULFILLMENT_VIEW&objKey=SourceTransactionId=300100177124844;SourceTransactionSystem=GPR

The link displays the sales order in the same view that you see when you access the sales order through Tasks > Manage Fulfillment Lines in the Order Management work area.

Link to Create Order Page

Set objType to SALES_ORDER.

Set action to CREATE.

For example:

https://visionServer:80/fndSetup/faces/deeplink?objType=SALES_ORDER&action=CREATE

The link displays the same Create Order page that you see when you click Create Order in the Order Management work area.

Return to Calling Application

How do I get back to where I once belonged?

The direct link feature displays a return icon above the order total. You click it to return to the application that called the direct link.

Assume you call a direct link from VisionSCM. The visionServer server hosts VisionSCM on port 7011.

VisionSCM must include the returnApp parameter and returnAppParams parameter in the deeplink URL so the return icon knows how to get back to VisionSCM. Here's your format.

https://server:port/fndSetup/faces/deeplink?objType=SALES_ORDER&action=VIEW&objKey=OrderNumber=519810&returnApp=applicationName&returnAppParams=parameterName1=Value% parameterName2=Value%parameterName3=Value

where

Code

Description

returnApp

Identifies the name of the application that called the direct link.

returnAppParams

List of parameters that you can include in the call. You must use a % (percent symbol) to separate each parameter and its value.

Here's the URL you use to return to VisionSCM.

https://visionServer:7011/fndSetup/faces/deeplink?objType=SALES_ORDER&action=VIEW&objKey=OrderNumber=519810&returnApp=VisionSCM&returnAppParams=abc=123%26xyz=456

where

Code

Description

returnApp

Identifies the calling application as VisionSCM

returnAppParams

Sets the value of parameter abc to 123 and the value of parameter 26xyz to 456.

You must add the calling application in the Setup and Maintenance work area. For example:

You must add the calling application in the Setup and Maintenance work area. For example:
