R12.1.3 Feature Oracle Quoting


Business Needs
Configurator enhancements (HTML UI only)

Information Technology

R12.1.3 Solution
Currently, the effective date for a model configuration in the quote is the creation date of the model configuration and cannot be changed. The creation date of a model configuration is the date when the model was initially configured in the quote. Subsequently, if there are changes to the configuration rules or the Bill of Materials for the model item, then these changes are not available when the user reconfigures the model item. This enhancement allows the effective date to be the current date or the creation date of the model configuration. Additional flexibility is provided for customers who wish to write their own rule for determining the effective date. Users can also manually check the validity of the model configurations in the quote during the quote lifecycle. Quotes and quote templates are inherently striped by the operating unit. Currently, the quoting user cannot apply a quote template from an operating that is different from the quote operating unit. This enhancement removes this restriction and provides a larger library of quote templates to choose from. This promotes better reuse of the quote templates. Currently, quoting validates the quote prior to quote transitions such as approval submission and place order. Users cannot easily add custom validation checks prior to the key quote transitions. The QA Check framework allows business process owners to define custom business rule validations that need to be automatically performed prior to key quote actions. Based on the outcome of the business rule validations, the user is either allowed to perform the quote action or prevented from doing so. The quoting user can also manually invoke the QA check during the quote lifecycle to preemptively fix any errors prior to the automatic validation checks.

R12.1.3 Feature Oracle Quoting (contd..)


Business Needs
Service reference for serviceable item in the Install Base for the End Customer (HTML UI only)

Information Technology

R12.1.3 Solution
In a business relationship where a company sells to a distributor who ultimately resells an item to an end user, there is a need to quote a service contract to the end user. Currently, the service reference for a serviceable item in the Install Base must Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1 Release Content Document Oracle Quoting 23 be owned by the Sold To customer on the quote. This does not work well for reseller scenarios where the Sold To Customer is not the same as the End Customer. The item in the Install Base is associated with the End Customer not the Sold To Customer. This enhancement allows the Quoting user to specify a service reference for a serviceable item in the Install Base for the End Customer on the quote.

Allow Service item to point to a serviceable item in the product catalog (HTML UI only)

In Quoting, you can quote a service long after the original purchase. In such a scenario, the service item on the quote must point to the serviceable item in the Install base. In reseller scenarios, there is a need to create separate quotes, one quote for the serviceable item and a second quote for the service item. Each of the two quotes may be created by different resellers. Since the first quote has not been fulfilled, the service item on the second quote cannot reference the serviceable item in the Install Base. This enhancement allows the service item to point to a serviceable item from the Product Catalog. The service item can be priced based on the price for the serviceable item in the Product Catalog. After the order for the first quote is fulfilled, the second quote is changed so the service item points to the serviceable item in the Install Base. Subsequently, the second quote can be placed as an order.

The Lightweight MLS feature, new in Release 12.1.3, allows additional languages to be enabled without the need to apply the corresponding NLS patches. In previous releases, it was necessary to apply the relevant NLS patches before additional languages could be used.
Oracle iSetup MLS offers greater flexibility in Release 12.1.3 with the ability to move data across systems with different sets of installed languages. Customers can choose to move data of all configured languages from a source system to a target system at once, or they can choose to move data of one installed language or a subset of installed languages from the source to the target. Continuing on the theme of improving multilingual support (MLS) in Oracle EBusiness Suite, Oracle Application Framework export functionality is improved to allow users to Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1 Release Content Document Internationalization 10 choose between UnicodeLittle or UTF-8 encoding for their exported files.

FNDMENU Diagnostics Menu Security Enhancement under AOL

Information Technology

R12.1.3 Solution
This enhancement removes the challenge for the APPS password when trying to access submenus under the Diagnostics menu. Access to the Diagnostics submenus is controlled by the Utilities: Diagnostics profile option and standard E-Business Suite function security. When the user selects a menu item, Oracle Application Object Library checks whether the submenu items are granted to the current responsibility. If the Utilities: Diagnostics profile option is set to No and the end user has not been granted the securing function for the menu item, an error message is displayed. Additionally, this enhancement provides a read-only mode for the Examine menu, the Item Properties window, and the Forms Personalization form. This feature provides users with an ability to tag database connections with module and context specific attributes. The feature offers several session attributes that allow applications to record the current user, code module and business action that a connection is being used for. Populating these attributes helps users track metrics required for Audit control, resource allocation, and problem diagnosis. Links within an Oracle E-Business Suite Oracle Application Framework portlet can now be opened in a new browser window. This feature allows the base portal or Oracle WebCenter page to be in context while drilldown links open content in a separate window. All Oracle E-Business Suite content will launch into a single window. In-context Diagnostics uses the inline pop-up feature in Oracle Application Framework to enable a user to enter input for a diagnostic test, execute it, and view the result or report, all from the current product page, without navigating to the Diagnostics screens to run the test.

The Oracle Workflow notification mailer now supports SMTP authentication, enabling customers to use the notification mailer with their enterprise SMTP servers that are configured for SMTP authentication. Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1 Release Content Document Oracle Workflow 38 SMTP authentication requires the sender to authenticate by identifying itself to the mail server. After successful authentication, the mail server grants transmission of the senders emails. SMTP authentication can be used to allow legitimate users to relay mail while denying relay service to unauthorized users, such as spammers. Oracle Workflow currently supports the PLAIN, LOGIN, and DIGST-MD5 authentication mechanisms. Administrators can enter the user name and password that the notification mailer should use for authentication in either the basic or advanced configuration pages for the mailer.
