Functional Enhancements
This section describes the functional enhancements for this release.
Oracle Retail Pricing Cloud Service v2 Support
XOCS was enhanced to support v2 of the Oracle Retail Pricing Cloud Service (RPCS). Retailers will be able to choose the version of RPCS to support in their integration to MFCS. This updated version enables XOCS to support rule codes to support distribution of rewards.
To enable v2 support, retailers should update their existing MFCS integration to v2. All new MFCS integrations will default to v2 unless selected otherwise.
For more information, see the Oracle Retail Merchandising Cloud Services/Xstore Suite 23.0 Implementation Guide.
Quantity of Scale Enhancements
The XOCS integration with MFCS was enhanced to save the quantity scale information for unit of measure items to store the number of decimal places allowed for the item quantity at a given location.

RDS Multi Schema Support
Xstore Office Cloud Service Multi-Schema Support: Note: Once XOCS and RDS 24.1.301.x updates are completed, new tables in XOCS Xadmin schema and additional tables in XOCS Xcenter schema will be replicated to RDS. Please be aware that when these additional tables are enabled with the RDS uptake, there may be extended replication times needed to allow for the replication processes to catch up. The amount of time needed may depend on the data in the added tables/schema for replication.
For more information on what additional tables are now included, see the Oracle Retail Xstore Office Database Dictionary Guide and the Oracle Retail Xstore Office Cloud Service Retail Data Store - Database Dictionary.
