SmartView integration is a reporting tool that enables you to create ad hoc reports in Excel, Word, or PowerPoint by using BI subject areas. BI subject areas are predefined data sets that contain the business metrics and attributes that you can use to create reports and analyses. SmartView integration allows you to access the BI subject areas from within the Microsoft Office applications, and use the familiar features and functions of those applications to create and format your reports 1 .

Constraint Definition Language (CDL) is a language that you use to create configurator rules in Configurator Cloud. CDL supports two types of statements: explicit and implicit. An explicit statement is a type of statement that specifies the exact nodes and attributes that participate in the rule, and limits the scope of the rule to those nodes and attributes and the model that contains them. An explicit statement uses the dot (.) notation to identify the location of the nodes and attributes in the model structure 1 . For example, the following rule is an explicit statement:

Model1.Feature1.Option1 IMPLIES Model1.Feature2.Option2

This rule means that if Option1 of Feature1 is selected in Model1, then Option2 of Feature2 must also be selected in Model1. The rule only applies to Model1 and its nodes and attributes.

Supplier Channel Management is a feature of Oracle Order Management Cloud Order to Cash that enables you to manage your supplier relationships and programs. Supplier Channel Management supports the importing of supplier invoices from a CSV file to determine available rebate accruals. This function allows you to do the following 1 :

Track supplier rebate accruals in the supplier program checkbook and on a claim. You can view the supplier rebate accruals that are calculated based on the imported invoices in the supplier program checkbook. You can also create and submit claims for the supplier rebate accruals.

View supplier program performance in the program checkbook based on the purchase order, item, and bill-to and ship-to locations. You can monitor the performance of your supplier programs in the program checkbook. You can filter the data by various criteria, such as purchase order, item, and bill-to and ship-to locations.

Dynamically create supplier part number relationships to internal item numbers. You can create and maintain the mapping between the supplier part numbers and the internal item numbers. This enables you to match the imported invoices with the corresponding items in your inventory.

However, this function does not allow you to create and approve adjustments to a supplier rebate accrual. Adjustments are manual changes that you can make to the supplier rebate accruals in the supplier program checkbook. You can create adjustments for various reasons, such as errors, disputes, or corrections. You can also approve or reject the adjustments that are submitted by other users 2 . To create and approve adjustments, you need to use the Manage Supplier Program Checkbook task in the Supplier Channel Management work area, not the import function.

Oracle Order Management Cloud supports three costing methods: perpetual average cost, actual cost (FIFO), and frozen standard cost. Perpetual average cost is a method that calculates the average unit cost of an item by dividing the total cost of the item by the total quantity on hand. Actual cost (FIFO) is a method that assigns the actual cost of each receipt to the item, and uses the first-in, first-out (FIFO) principle to determine the cost of goods sold. Frozen standard cost is a method that assigns a predetermined cost to the item, and uses the difference between the standard cost and the actual cost to calculate variances.
