Integrating with Oracle Demand Collaboration
This use case provides information about the various ways to load demand-order-forecast and consumption-history data from customers into Oracle Demand Collaboration.
| Description | Integration Type | Integration Options | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Load demand-order-forecast and consumption-history data from customers into Oracle Demand Collaboration using files. | Inbound | Comma-separated values (CSV) files | Uploads made through the Customer Demand Uploads UI will be processed using scheduled processes. A template containing the required columns data is available for download. |
| Load demand-order-forecast and consumption-history data from customers into Oracle Demand Collaboration using REST APIs and a file as input. | Inbound | REST APIs, using an encoded file | The Collaboration Customer Demand Uploads REST resource processes a base-64 encoded file to load customer demand data. |
| Load demand-order-forecast and consumption-history data from customers into Oracle Demand Collaboration using bulk REST APIs. | Inbound | REST APIs | The Collaboration Customer Demand Requests REST resource is used to create bulk load customer demand requests. A collaborationCustomerDemandRequests_Id is provided as a response that can be used to check for the status of the request. |
| Load customer demand-order-forecast data from customers into Oracle Demand Collaboration using B2B messaging. | Inbound | B2B messaging using Oracle Collaboration Messaging Framework |
Use the predefined Order Forecast – Inbound document (B2B message definition Oracle-1-0-B2B-Order-Forecast-In) to receive an order forecast message from your customers and use it for your organization’s demand planning. Message data consists of Forecasts (customer/customer site), Forecast lines (item/org), and forecast schedule components (quantity, date). Enable the Customer Collaboration business process to allow the Order Forecast – Inbound document to be exchanged. Then associate it with a customer in the Manage Customer Collaboration Configuration task. Set up this message definition as an inbound collaboration message for a trading partner and then associate the trading partner and Order Forecast- Inbound document with a customer using the Manage Customer Collaboration Configuration task. After the message is received and transformed, a compressed file is placed in Oracle WebCenter Content and processed by the Process Collaboration Customer Demands resource. |
