EDI Integration with Oracle Cloud SCM

Discover how companies are streamlining their customer order process with Oracle Cloud, specifically through the powerful Oracle Fusion Supply Chain Modules. Gain insights into the essential role of EDI (Electronic Data Integration) and how automating this process through integration is key. In this informative post, learn how to achieve seamless EDI integration for optimized efficiency and improved business operations.

Methods of Integration

Introducing Oracle Collaboration Messaging Framework (CMK), a platform that exclusively supports XML format. However, converting EDI documents to XML and mapping them can be a time-consuming task.


Enter Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC), the solution to your mapping needs. With EDI X12 Adapters, you can seamlessly develop mappings and connect to Oracle cloud SCM Adapters for fusion integration.


But there's an even easier option. Consider utilizing third-party applications like TPSynergy. These applications come with pre-built mappings and offer direct integration to Fusion cloud Order Management. This means less development and maintenance effort for your company.


Save time and effort by choosing the right method for your integration needs.

Steps for EDI Orders processing

Leading companies like Amazon, Target, and Sephora rely on the X12 EDI 850 format to share their purchase orders electronically. These documents are efficiently transmitted over VAN, AS2, or FTP connections.


Upon receiving the X12 documents, they need to be converted into a standard message format, such as text documents. This enables seamless integration with Oracle cloud SCM API calls to post orders into the Fusion system. For instance, creating sales orders in Fusion requires invoking the salesOrdersForOrderHub API with a POST action.


Orders can be generated in either Draft or Submitted status automatically. If they are in Draft status, Order management users will log into Fusion to review and either accept or reject the orders.


The acceptance or rejection of orders must then be communicated back to the customer using an EDI document. Typically, the EDI 855 format is used for sending these acceptances. Consequently, once an order is confirmed in Fusion, it needs to be translated back into the EDI 855 format and sent back to the Customer within 24 hours of receiving the original EDI 850 order.


The subsequent step involves the shipping process. EDI Customers like Amazon require advance creation of Routing Requests for carrier assignment. TPSynergy is equipped to automatically generate routing requests and facilitate routing assignment using EDI 753 and EDI 754 formats.


If the warehouse is internal, warehouse users can directly access Oracle Cloud Fusion to complete the shipping process. However, in most cases, a third-party logistics provider (3PL) oversees the actual shipping process. In such scenarios, the orders should be sent to the 3PL systems for processing.


Once the order is shipped within Fusion or a 3PL warehouse, a shipping confirmation must be sent back to the customers in the EDI 856 Advance Ship Notice (ASN) format. Additionally, the shipment confirmation received from the 3PL needs to be posted to Fusion.


If the shipment occurs outside of the Fusion system, the shipment transaction must be posted to Fusion using the Pick Release and Ship Confirm API, which encompasses pick waves and shipping transactions.


Once the shipment is successfully posted into Fusion, the system will automatically process the order and generate invoices.


To send these invoices to customers, they need to be extracted from Fusion using the receivablesInvoices API call and converted into the EDI 810 Invoice format.
