Introduction
Oracle Supply Chain Management 25A update brings some exciting synergies between Fusion Order Management (OM) and Oracle Transportation Management (OTM). The enhanced Prebuilt integrations between OM and OTM which now supports shipsets is one such development in this space. This blog will look into ‘whats new’ in the Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) prebuilt integration between OM and OTM.
Now available in OIC Integration Store
The new OM-OTM prebuilt integrations are now packaged as an Oracle Integration Cloud Recipe and is available for download from the OIC3 Integration store. The OM-OTM recipe provides out of the box integration of OM Order Fulfillment lines to OTM Transmission objects containing Order Release lines for shipping by OTM.
Firstly, the prebuilt integrations can be accesses from the OIC Home page and navigating to the “Browse store”.
Oracle Order Management — Oracle Transportation Management | Sync order releases
Customers can ‘Get’ the recipe from Integration store. The recipe is structured as an OIC3 Project consisting of 2 integrations 2 connections and a lookup as shown below. One needs to configure the SCM connection (for OM) and Logistics connection (for OTM), and activate the integration. Customer is now good to hit the ground running for the new OM OTM integration for transportation planning.
Once the integrations are activated, the OM trigger connection listens for transportation planning events from OM. These are mapped into Transmission objects to OTM for creation of OTM OrderRelease and OrderReleaseLine for fulfillment. The integration also gets transport acknowledgement and confirmation when OTM is ready, and these are updated in the OM Order appropriately for an end-to-end 3600 view of order fulfillment. This design is logically shown in the below diagram.
What’s new with 25A
- OM OTM prebuilt integration recipe is now available as an OIC3 Project to take advantages of the new features available with OIC3 projects. Learn more about OIC projects here.
- Shipset support – The recipe provides out of the box support for OM Order fulfillment lines grouped together in shipment sets (shipsets) for better operational efficiency. Learn more about shipsets shipsets here.
Shipment set feature
A shipment set is a set of order lines that Order Management ships together as one group. All of these lines ship and arrive on the same date, although they might ship across more than one package, depending on packing requirements. Note that shipsets are an additional functionality and the integration does contiinue to process OM orders which are fulfilled as individual fulfilment lines without shipset grouping.
The OIC prebuilt integration maps the OM Order order lines/fulfilment lines to OTM order release and release lines. Below diagrams schematically show the structure of OM orders for scenarios with shipsets and without shipsets and how they are mapped during OTM transmission

Observability
The integration instances can be monitored at runtime from OIC observability. For orders with shipsets, the Business Identifiers help track the integration instances by shipset names.
Note
Conclusion
We learnt about the latest OM OTM prebuilt integrations in this blog , which are now available in the OIC Integration store and support the high efficiency shipset feature.
Finally, I would like to acknowledge my colleague Abhay Kumar for his valuable suggestions and feedback for bringing out this blog.
