Licensed Features

Oracle offers the Product Management Cloud Service license that includes the Product Hub and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) features. PLM contains Product Development, Innovation Management, and Quality Management modules.

In case you have licensed other Cloud services such as SCM Cloud services, ERP Cloud services, Sales and Service Cloud, and so on but have not licensed the Product Management Cloud Service, then you have access to only the basic item management capabilities.

Here’s the basic item management capabilities.

Create Item	Applicable only for root item class without item extensible flexfields (EFFs). Item supplier association isn’t allowed. Style or SKU items aren’t allowed.
Manage Items	Applicable only for root item class without item EFFs. Item supplier association isn’t allowed. Style or SKU items aren’t allowed. Mass updates are applicable only for basic item master objects.
Manage Catalogs	Includes only catalogs that are required for use with other ERP, SCM, or CX applications. For the purpose of ERP and SCM Cloud service, if you want to address localization and financial requirements, the following price supplement is applicable: Oracle Fusion ERP and SCM Cloud service customers can define multiple product catalogs in the Item Master in addition to the functional catalogs to represent any country specific localization requirements pertaining to financial or tax classification without requiring a Product Management Cloud Service license. Any use of advanced catalog management capabilities or features such as catalog security, catalog sharing, and catalog assignment through rules for these catalogs requires a Product Management Cloud Service license.

Prior to Product Management Cloud Service license, there were two licenses:

• Product Hub Cloud Service (includes Product Hub features)
• Product Development Cloud Service (includes Product Development features)

These two licenses were later combined to a single license called the Product Management Cloud Service.

If you have Product Hub Cloud Service, Product Development Cloud Service, or Product Management Cloud Service license, then you can access all the basic item management capabilities without any limitations. Additionally, you can access the following tasks:

• Create Pack
• Manage New Item Requests
• Manage Change Orders
• Manage Item Rule Sets
• Analyze Rule Set Impact
• Manage Worklist
• Manage Item Batches
• Review Supplier Uploads
• Manage Spoke System (includes Publication Options)
• Manage Import Maps (includes Smart Spreadsheet)
• Manage Data Pool Subscription
• Review Data Pool Messages
• Manage Products (Supplier Portal) (Requires Product Hub Portal Cloud service or Product Management Cloud service)
• Manage Item Class
• Manage Item Attribute Groups and Attributes / Manage EFFs (for items)

Note: The last two tasks include setting item class hierarchy, configuring Item EFFs, managing data quality, and configuring Style/SKU.

If you have licensed Product Hub Cloud Service, Product Development Cloud Service, or Product Management Cloud Service, then you must enable the Data Governance and Data Consolidation options under the Product Management Offering in the Setup and Maintenance work area. Some of the preceding functionalities will work correctly only when these options are enabled. Conversely, if you have not licensed these cloud services, then don’t enable these options.

The Product Management Cloud Service license also includes the following advanced features and capabilities:

• Item class hierarchy (beyond the pre-defined root item class)
• Extensible Flexfields (EFF)
• Data security
• New item request
• Change workflows
• Import workbench
