Data flow for Order-to-Cash cycle

Data flow for Order-to-Cash cycle

1. Order Entry
This is first stage, When the order is entered in the system, it creates a record in order headers
and Order Lines table.

• Enter header details: Once you enter details on the order header and save it or move it to
lines, record goes to one table oe_order_headers_all
o No record exists in any other table for this order till now.
• Enter Line details for this order: Enter different item numbers, quantity and other details
in line tab. When the record gets saved, it goes to one table. Order header details will be linked
with line details by order HEADER_ID.

2. Order Booking
This is next stage, when Order is booked then the Flow status changed from Entered to Booked.
At this stage, these below table get affected.

• oe_order_headers_alL
• oe_order_lines_all
• wsh_delivery_details
• wsh_delivery_assignments

*In shipping transaction form order status remains “Ready to Release”.

At the same time, Demand interface program runs in background and insert into inventory tables
mtl_demand.

3. Reservation
This step is required for doing reservations SCHEDULE ORDER PROGRAM runs in the
background and quantities are reserved. Once this program get successfully get completed, the
mtl_demand and mtl_reservations table get updated.

4. Pick Release
Pick Release is the process of putting reservation on on-hand quantity available in the inventory
and pick them for particular sales order.

Pick release can be done from ‘Release Sales Order’ form or ‘Pick release SRS’ program can be
scheduled in background. In both of these cases all lines of the order gets pick released
depending on the Picking rule used. If specific line/s needs to be pick release it can be done from
‘Shipping Transaction form. For this case Pick Release is done from ‘Release Sales Order’ form
with Pick Confirm=NO.
Once pick release is done these are the tables get affected:

• If step 3 is not done then MTL_RESERVATIONS gets updated now.

• wsh_new_deliveries
• wsh_delivery_assignments
• wsh_delivery_details
• MTL_TXN_REQUEST_HEADERS
• MTL_TXN_REQUEST_LINES
• Mtl_material_transactions_temp
• MTL_SERIAL_NUMBERS_TEMP
• MTL_SERIAL_NUMBERS

*In shipping transaction form order status remains “Released to Warehouse” and all the material
still remains in source sub-inventory. We need to do Move Order Transaction for this order. Till
this no material transaction has been posted to MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS

5. Pick Confirm/ Move Order Transaction

Items are transferred from source sub-inventory to staging Sub-inventory. Here material
transaction occurs.

Order line status becomes ‘Picked’ on Sales Order and ‘Staged/Pick Confirmed’ on Shipping
Transaction Form.
• MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS_TEMP
• oe_order_lines_all
• MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS
• mtl_transaction_accounts
• wsh_delivery_details
• wsh_delivery_assignments
• MTL_ONHAND_QUANTITIES
• MTL_SERIAL_NUMBERS_TEMP
• MTL_SERIAL_NUMBERS

* This step can be eliminated if we set Pick Confirm=YES at the time of Pick Release

6. Ship Confirm
Here ship confirm interface program runs in background. Data removed from
wsh_new_deliveries.

The items on the delivery gets shipped to customer at this stage.

• oe_order_lines_all
• wsh_delivery_details
• WSH_SERIAL_NUMBERS
• mtl_transaction_interface
• mtl_material_TRANSACTIONS
• mtl_transaction_accounts
• mtl_demand, MTL_reservations
• MTL_ONHAND_QUANTITIES
• MTL_SERIAL_NUMBERS_TEMP
• MTL_SERIAL_NUMBERS

7. Enter Invoice

After shipping the order the order lines gets eligible to get transferred to
RA_INTERFACE_LINES_ALL. Workflow background engine picks those records and post it
to RA_INTERFACE_LINES_ALL. This is also called Receivables interface, that mean
information moved to accounting area for invoicing details. Invoicing workflow activity transfers
shipped item information to Oracle Receivables. At the same time records also goes in the table
RA_INTERFACE_SALESCREDITS_ALL which hold details of sales credit for the particular
order.

ra_interface_lines_all (interface table into which the data is transferred from order management)
Then Auto-invoice program imports data from this table which get affected into this stage are
receivables base table. At the same time records goes in ra_customer_trx_all and
ra_customer_trx_lines_all
