LatinOAUG Presentation
The Latin Oracle Applications Users Group is the brainchild of a group of ambitious Latin Americans from the region’s IT and Business sectors. Oracle’s database and E-Business applications have long been recognized as powerful tools by the Latin American business community, as evidenced by the more than 14,000 customers the company services in the region. However, Latin American Oracle users have never had a forum for sharing information and experiences on the effective use of Oracle Applications. The LatinOAUG has been created to respond to this need.
The Group main goals are:
- Share Best Practices
- Network with industry peers
- Gain access to timely information
Available Seats: 25

R12 new features with a focus on the new Distribution Planning capabilities
Bob Smith (Oracle Corporation) and Kevin Creel (Agile Planning Group LLC) will jointly present this session to explain the new Oracle Advanced Planning Suite features introduced in Release 12. The session will start with a review of the major features by application followed by a deep dive into one of the most significant new capabilities, enhanced Distribution Planning.
Distribution Planning is a new plan type available within ASCP that provides specific capabilities needed to plan the distribution of supplies outward through the supply chain. These capabilities include fair share allocation, multiple inventory policies, circular sourcing, and more. This planning capability is broadly applicable to any clients that manage warehouse distribution of goods.

Customizing the Look and Feel of OTM to Fit your Business
Introduction
This document has been created as a Presentation Abstract to what will be presented at Collaborate 07’ if selected.
1. Overview
Many of times when OTM is implemented, the focus is on core functionality and making sure you can run your business optimally. What you may not realize is there are many unnecessary steps in your day to day process due to extra clicks, extra fields, or steps to kick off a custom business process. With OTM, there are numerous customizations available to eliminate these additional steps.
This introduces the following functionality in OTM that allow any company to change the user interface of the application in order to fit their business needs.
1.1.1. Screen Set Management
Screen Sets are used to define each object’s search and result screen. For each object with in OTM that has a search screen, there is an associated screen set. Each Screen is customizable to allow you to do the following:
• Change label of the Finder
• Rearrange the search fields
• Add/Delete search fields
• Remove or Create new tabs
• Predefine Search criteria
• Define what fields are populated in result screens
• Modify Smart Links that are available
• Modify Actions that are available
• Add and remove the New, Edit, View, and Delete button
1.1.2. Custom Manager Layouts
In OTM version 5.5, the Customer Manager Layout functionality has been built out to many of the other data entry screens. What this functionality does is gives users the ability to see fields that are to be populated that are only related to their business needs. This functionality’s purpose is to give users the ability to see fields that are to be populated and are only related to their business needs. This functionality has been built out to allow for the following modifications:
• Add / Delete fields
• Change label of Fields
• Create fields for reference records
• Add/ Delete tabs on a screen
• Predefine a list of data from a large list such as reference qualifiers or payment method codes.
1.1.3. Label Management
Label Management can become a crucial way to integrate your current business process with OTM. Many of times when you bring in an outside application, the fields and terminologies used within the application do not fit your current business terms. Label Management gives you the ability to change those application terms into business terms your users and business will understand. Labels can be modified at the data entry, search, notification level, and can be specific to the domain you are logged into.
1.1.4. Menu Manager
The default menu, which comes with OTM, gives all users access to every menu available. This can be troublesome, as not all users will need to have access to these menus. In some cases for security reasons you may not want a user to have access to this menu. For this reason OTM has the ability to build out custom menus to fit a business, a specific business role, or user’s needs. Within this manager, you have the ability to do the following:
• Add / Delete Menus and Groups
• Change the label of the Menu's
• Add Links that may link to external tools or applications
1.1.5. Custom Actions
There are times when OTM does not come with an action that you require within the application. In this case, you create a workflow agent to execute this action for you. This creates the ability to link your custom agents to a custom action so it can be triggered when the user requires it. An overview of how to create the custom action and link it to your agent will be performed.
1.1.6. Branding
Changing the look and feel of the application can come in many forms. Another way is through the colors and images displayed in the home screen of the application. OTM comes with a number of custom templates that can be applied to the application along with the ability to overlay company logos and designs. An overview of how this is done will be defined to change your OTM layout.
1.1.7. Apply Changes
These customizations are intertwined in how they are applied. The changes discussed can be applied by user, by domain, or by user role. The following customizations are controlled by the use of the Manage User Access menu. Once these customizations are complete, a review of how to apply these will be shown.
• Screen Set Management
• Customer Manager layout
• Menu Mana

Integrating EBS and OTM: Understanding the Process Flows and Avoiding Pitfalls
From Collaborate '07:
Recently, Oracle released pre-packaged BPEL flows for integrating the EBS and OTM products. This provides companies with the ability to utilize best-of-breed OMS/WMS and TMS systems in order to fully optimize their supply chain. Successful integration of these two powerful products; however, requires careful planning and a strung understanding of the process flows between them. In addition, there are several pitfalls that you need to be aware of, in order to keep your implementation on-track and avoid duplicating significant amounts of work.
MavenWire has been fortunate enough to work with 3 of the first 4 clients who are utilizing this pre-packaged integration. During these projects we gained considerable experience with this new integration offering and we would like to share our knowledge and the lessons learned from these projects with attendees.
The presentation will include an overview of how the two systems integration at a high level. We will then delve deeper and describe and diagram the flows between EBS and OTM, for the following processes: Sales Orders, Purchasing, Payables, Rates and Ship Methods. With that complete, we will discuss lessons learned from the projects, including the relative maturity of this integration offering, data mapping issues (particularly around units of measure and delivery dates), synchronization of shared data (including locations and carriers) and understanding several key terminology differences between the two products. Finally, we will end with a Q&A session, so that attendees can get answers to related questions or delve deeper into particular segments for greater detail.
Objectives:
- Present an overview of Oracle's pre-packaged EBS/OTM integration
- Share the lessons learned while implementing with early-adopter clients
- Show how to best leverage the integration flows while avoiding pitfalls
