Added Support for Multiple Organizational Units in Supplier Subscription from Oracle Fusion Financials (CFIN)
As a part of this update, the Supplier Subscription integration from Oracle Cloud Financials (CFIN) to MFCS has been enhanced to retrieve site-assignment information when supplier data is subscribed. This allows a supplier site in CFIN to be associated with multiple organization units in MFCS.
MFCS already supports multiple organization units in the orgUnit array of the Create Supplier service. The subscription behavior is as follows:
Partners: Existing behavior is unchanged. Only the Procurement Business Unit from the supplier-site payload is published.
Suppliers: The Procurement Business Unit continues to be published. The Primary Pay Site indicator is determined from the Site Purpose Purchasing Flag, as in the existing integration. In addition, Client Business Units assigned to the supplier site in CFIN are included as additional organization units when they are mapped to an MFCS organization unit through its external reference and are different from the Procurement Business Unit. Additional organization units are published with no Primary Pay Site designation.
It needs to be noted that only active site assignments are considered. An assignment is included when its status is Active or its inactive date is in the future.

Added Operational Metrics for Background Processing and Integration Queue
This Merchandising enhancement introduces operational metrics for background processing and integration queues through new REST services and Retail Data Store (RDS) and Data Access Schema (DAS) views, providing easier operational visibility, particularly for large-volume integrations and background jobs. Background job metrics (BACKGROUND_JOB_METRICS) provide job activity, run and error counts, duration, processing state, retry information, and health status. Integration queue metrics (MERCH_QUEUE_METRICS) provide periodically collected backlog information for MerchAPI delta processing, MFCS-to-SIOCS publishing, and SIOCS-to-MFCS import processing, including queue depth, backlog age, errors, retries, trend, and alert level. Webhook configuration changes are also retained for audit and troubleshooting.

Enhanced Aggregation Logic of Debit Memos/CNRs for RTVs
This cloud service update introduces a supplier site-level configuration that controls how Return to Vendor (RTV) debit memos and credit note requests (CNRs) are consolidated before being sent to Invoice Matching. Retailers can now configure an aggregation frequency of Daily, Weekly, or Monthly, enabling eligible RTVs for the same supplier site and location to be grouped and processed as a single financial document. This reduces the volume of debit memos and credit note requests generated, simplifies supplier reconciliation, and improves overall processing efficiency. If no aggregation frequency is configured for a supplier site, the system continues to follow the existing behavior, generating a separate debit memo or credit note request for each RTV transaction. This ensures full backward compatibility while providing retailers with the flexibility to adopt consolidated processing where required.

Enhanced CFIN Supplier Subscription Processing for Unchanged Data
With this update, CFIN supplier subscription processing can be configured to skip suppliers whose data has not changed and was processed successfully within a defined period. Changed suppliers continue to be processed during the next polling cycle, and suppliers that did not process successfully are retried. This reduces unnecessary supplier updates and helps full supplier refresh processing complete more efficiently.
Enhanced Configuration of Oracle Fusion Payables and General Ledger Publish Jobs
MFCS now provides Retail Application Framework (RAF) application properties to configure the parameter lists and job options used when publishing Accounts Payable (AP) invoices and General Ledger (GL) data to Oracle Fusion. This allows organizations to control Fusion import-job behavior, including retaining AP invoices in the Fusion Payables interface tables for review and manual import instead of automatically importing them. For AP publishing, the ledger identifier is derived from the configured external ledger reference rather than being fixed.
Enhanced Copy Up Charge Capability
This cloud service update introduces a streamlined capability to copy up charges within the modernized Locations Destination, enabling users to efficiently replicate department-level up charge configurations from one location to another. A new workflow allows users to select the source and target locations, supporting stores, virtual warehouses, internal finishers, importers, exporters, and external finishers. Users can choose to copy up charges across all departments, selected department groups, or individual departments, with multiple copy options available, including Full Replace, Copy Missing Shipping Routes, Merge and Replace, and Merge and Add Missing Up Charges. The capability is also integrated into the store and warehouse maintenance workflows, allowing up charges to be copied during both new location creation and updates to existing locations, while preserving any intentionally configured item-level exceptions. For integration scenarios, a new REST service has been introduced to support copy requests. All copy operations are staged and processed asynchronously through batch processing, ensuring efficient execution and scalability for large-volume updates.

Enhanced Estimated Landed Cost Data for On-Order Purchase Orders
With this update, on-order purchase-order data in Retail Data Store (RDS) now provides unit cost, estimated unit expense, and estimated unit duty in their applicable currencies, by purchase order, item, and location, for regular items and buyer packs. This enables downstream applications to calculate a more complete estimated landed cost.

Handling Linked Allocations within the Enterprise
This enhancement enables Merchandising to support the end-to-end processing of multi-level allocations received from Inventory Planning Optimization (IPO) and seamlessly propagate them to downstream applications for execution. The solution includes enhancements to the inbound REST service responsible for subscribing to multi-leg allocation data in a single service call. In this initial phase, the enhancement supports multi-level dependency check within the bulk message only for the creation of linked allocations across the enterprise. The current version of bulk update and delete allocation service expects changes to multi-level allocation to be published in separate payload.
As part of this change, the EDI Download logic has also been updated to support multi-leg allocation scenarios. For linked allocations, the generated EDI message now includes only the final destination location, excluding any intermediate warehouses involved in the movement. This differs from the previous behavior, where EDI downloads represented only single-leg movements and therefore contained both the source and destination locations for each transfer. This change simplifies downstream processing while ensuring that the final fulfillment destination is accurately communicated.
Performance Improvement for Publish API and Webhook Delta Processing
This update improves performance for Publish API and webhook delta requests when a large volume of changes has accumulated over time. When a before timestamp is not provided, MFCS automatically selects an appropriate time range, enabling the backlog to be retrieved in smaller, more efficient intervals.
Integration
| API Name | Change Type | Integration Type | Field Name | Change Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Selected High volume Publish API |
New |
REST Service |
optimalBefore (Query Parameter) |
Enables histogram-based calculation of the before timestamp when before Timestamp query parameter is not provided. |
Independent Access for Warehouse Department Parameters Screen
This cloud service update introduces a new standalone entry point for the Warehouse Department Parameters screen. Users can now access the page directly from the Replenishment folder in the Merchandising Tasks list and select the warehouse for which they want to maintain investment buy parameters at the warehouse or warehouse/department level. Apart from the new entry point, the existing functionality in the Warehouse Department Parameters screen remains unchanged.
To support this new access path, new security privileges and duties have been introduced, enabling independent access control to the Warehouse Department Parameters screen. This provides more granular security while ensuring that all organizational hierarchy functionality remains available during the transition to the modern user interface.
Steps to Enable
To access or view the Warehouse Department Parameters screen in the Replenishment folder from the Merchandising task menu, new appropriate privileges are required. Refer the Merchandising Security Guide to review the additional privileges/duties needed.

Inventory Integration Enhancements
This enhancement introduces new inventory buckets at the item-location level to track inventory quantities across key order fulfillment stages, such as shipment and receipt. These additional parameters provide end-to-end visibility into the lifecycle of a purchase order, including on-order, in-transit, and cross-allocation inbound and outbound quantities.
By capturing these inventory states within Merchandising, the solution establishes a comprehensive Enterprise Inventory Position that can be consistently consumed by downstream applications.
With this enhancement, the ITEM_LOC_SOH table becomes the authoritative source for inventory positions within the Enterprise. Inventory balances are maintained through near real-time updates received from Store Inventory Operations Cloud Service (SIOCS) via the Direct DB integration, ensuring that inventory information remains current and synchronized across applications. Downstream applications, including Retail Insights (RI), can leverage this consolidated inventory position to consume consistent information for the different inventory buckets, thereby improving reporting, analytics, and operational decision-making across the retail enterprise.
As part of this change, other processes that extract, upload, or populate item-location inventory information have also been updated. These new inventory buckets, upon creation, will initially be populated through a background process.

Item API Round Out - Item HTS Assessment and Item Attributes Cascading
This cloud service update introduces new cascade options for Item Import Attributes and Required Documents in Merchandising. When child items are created from a parent item, the associated import attributes and required documents can now be automatically copied to the child items. This enhancement extends the existing item maintenance capabilities available through spreadsheet upload and REST services.
Item HTS Assessment - An ‘Update Orders’ indicator has been added in the Item HTS Assessment worksheet in the Item Master Data Induction and Item HTS ReST services to ensure that the ORDER_DEFAULT_IND is updated with the given input in the cost component update stage table. If the indicator is set as Y, then the current cost component batch will update open orders with the given Item HTS Assessment information.
Item Attributes - Item attributes such as item import attributes and required documents can now be cascaded from parent to child items depending on the cascading indicators defined in the CORESVC_ITEM_CONFIG table. The user can manage the state of these indicators through the Item Data Loading Configuration Induction (Item_Service_Config worksheet).
Steps to Enable
Item HTS Assessment - Update Orders Indicator - This can be set as Y to update open orders with the given Item HTS Assessment information.
Item Attributes - The cascading indicators defined in the CORESVC_ITEM_CONFIG table can be set as Y to cascade parent item attributes to child items.
Users are requested to download the new templates for both the induction uploads mentioned above and use the new template for any further uploads.

Merchandising Modernization – Location Closing Maintenance
This cloud service update introduces a modernized Location Closings user interface within Merchandising as part of a broader, phased redesign aligned with contemporary design standards, ensuring a smooth transition for users.
The enhanced Location Closings workflow is available within the Locations Destination and can be accessed from both the Warehouse and Store pages. It provides a unified interface for creating and managing location-specific closings and company closing exceptions for individual locations, as well as viewing company-wide closings. The interface also offers intuitive search and filtering capabilities, enabling users to quickly locate and manage closing records at both the company and location levels.
The workflow also incorporates AI-assisted translations, enabling users to efficiently create multilingual content while reducing manual effort. Users can review and refine the generated translations as needed to ensure the final content is both accurate and contextually appropriate. New appropriate privileges are required to access or view the Locations Closings page in the Locations Destination.
Additionally, there are now new ReST services for managing and retrieving location and company closings. These services allow external systems to create, update, delete, and retrieve location-specific closings, company-wide closings, and location-level exceptions along with translations.
Steps to Enable
To access or view the Location Closings page in the Locations destination, new appropriate privileges are required. Refer the Foundation Security Guide to review the additional privileges/duties needed.

Added Configurable Delay Days for Invoice Posting
This update introduces a new supplier-level configuration parameter in IMCS that allows retailers to temporarily hold invoices from matching and posting for a configurable number of days after receipt. This holding period provides additional time to complete receiving and verification activities, improving receiving accuracy, strengthening financial controls, and supporting more effective supplier reconciliation. The configured hold period is consistently enforced across all invoice matching processes, including Summary Match, Auto Match, Quick Match, and Discrepancy Resolution, ensuring a uniform invoice processing workflow regardless of the matching method used. Once the configured hold period expires, invoices become eligible for matching and subsequent posting based on the standard IMCS processing rules.

Translation for Promotion Details
This enhancement enables Pricing Cloud Service (PCS) to support translations for Promotion Description and Promotion Offer Description across all languages included in the installed language pack. Users can configure a preferred language, and when translations are available, promotion descriptions are automatically displayed in that language, providing a localized user experience.
Promotion data continues to be created and maintained in the primary (base) language, while translations for supported languages are managed through dedicated translation screens. This is also supported through spreadsheet based induction and available in publish APIs.
Financial Integration Batches Added to Nightly Schedule
Financial integration batches are now supported as part of the nightly processing schedule in Process Orchestration and Monitoring (POM). This enhancement enables these batches to be executed automatically during the End of Day (EOD) processing cycle, reducing manual intervention, and ensuring that financial integration processes are consistently included in standard nightly operations.

Fiscal Document Data Migration Workflow for Transfers
A new data migration workflow has been introduced to support the import of fiscal documents associated with transfer transactions. During the migration process, the system automatically creates the corresponding Fiscal Ledger balances, enabling accurate initialization of fiscal data. This capability is designed for new Fiscal Management Cloud Service (RFMCS) implementations and legacy system data conversions, providing a streamlined approach for establishing fiscal ledger records while preserving transfer-related fiscal document history.
