SCM Overview

Oracle E-Business Suite R12 Supply Chain Management:


Supply Chain Management (SCM) :

It is a set of various activities in which raw materials are purchased and transformed into semi-finished or intermediate goods, which eventually become the finished goods. These finished goods are then distributed to the customer using the distribution channel. This complete cycle from supplier to customer is called the Supply Chain Management process.




Supply Chain Management is a set of activities through which we can arrange and
integrate the stakeholders of the Supply Chain process, as follows:

• Suppliers
• Customers
• Distributer
• Transporter
• Warehouse
• Production

Oracle E-Business Suite gives us a complete solution to map our business process
and performs different types of planning related to our business process and the
management of our master data in the system, giving us a great ease of control over

the process.

Oracle Procure to Pay process:

The Oracle Procure to Pay process initiates from demand. A requirement of goods
or services is identified and communicated. On the basis of the received requirement
the source is finalized and a purchase order is raised for the required quantity. We
receive goods on the basis of the ordered quantity and pay the supplier for their
goods or services.





Oracle Order to Cash process:

The Oracle Order to Cash process initiates when we enter a new sales order in the
system. Once the order is booked in the system, picking and shipping of goods take
place on the booked orders. On the basis of goods dispatched against the orders, we

invoice the customer and upon receiving payment we enter the receipt into system.
