In the second blog post of this three-part Solution Highlight series featuring a proven leader in defense-grade, high assurance cyber security solutions, the topic is Salesforce and Oracle Cloud integration. If you missed the other blog posts in the series, I encourage you to read the Solution Highlight – Oracle Revenue Management / SSP – Part 1, authored by my colleague Jeff Davis. He shared our client’s journey to automate its complex and manual revenue allocation processes. To round out the series, read Solution Highlight – Oracle Fusion and Salesforce – Part 3.
About Our Client: a trailblazer in the cyber security space, our client needed the ability to integrate Salesforce and Oracle Fusion to process Sales Orders and manage sellable items.
Challenge
- Different Sales Order Fulfilment techniques based on the item type and country
- Global fulfillment with multiple countries (Business Units)
- Contract Manufacturing for Subassemblies
Customized Order Orchestration for various fulfillment scenarios
After analyzing the requirements, Perficient has customized the Order Orchestration to handle multiple fulfillment scenarios.
Key highlights include:
- Routed to different orchestration flows : Order Lines has been assigned to the requested orchestration trough the Salesforce Integration
- Wait Steps: Added wait steps based on business events for the Revenue Management requirements
Supply Chain Financial Orchestration for Intercompany Accounting
One of the requirements in the overall solution to create intercompany buy and sell transactions, in other words “internal drop ship” fulfillment. We used Supply Chain Financial Orchestration and Cost and Receipt accounting custom mappings sets and accounting rules to fulfill this requirements.
Key Highlights include:
- Build the Intercompany Trading model with Internal Customers and Suppliers and build entity relationship
- Create the Supply Chain Orchestration Rules and Flows
- Use of Subledger accounting to drive intercompany accounting
Outside Processing for Contract Manufacturing
Our client used a contract manufacturer for the subassemblies, but they didn’t have the supply planning module. After analyzing their requirements and Oracle footprint, we successfully implemented OSP (Outside Process) flow for their contract manufacturing solution.
Please refer to the http://perf.xyz.com blog that explains the decision process for Outside Processing and Contract Manufacturing.
