1     About This Guide

Audience and Scope
This guide provides information for implementors and administrators when conguring and seing up Oracle
Subscription Management. It summarizes and details specic setup tasks for Subscription Management. It also is
designed as a reference to conguring required Oracle Applications Cloud common application features at a high level.
This guide assumes your company's application cloud service is up and running at a basic level, for example, as
described in the use case contained in the Oracle Engagement Cloud Geing Started with Your Implementation guide.

          Note: With release 19A (11.13.19.01.0), "Oracle Sales Cloud" has been incorporated within "Oracle Engagement
          Cloud." Existing Oracle Sales Cloud users will retain access to Oracle Sales Cloud features under their
          preexisting licensing agreements. Any new users created within your current Oracle Sales Cloud license
          count will also retain the same access to Oracle Sales Cloud. Users may obtain access to additional Oracle
          Engagement Cloud features by renewing their subscriptions under the Oracle Engagement Cloud SKU. This
          document describes features available to users under both Oracle Sales Cloud and Oracle Engagement Cloud
          licensing agreements.

Implementing Subscription Management Subscription Management Setup Checklist

Create and Manage Customers
You create customers to properly record and account for sales transactions, as well as to identify other aributes of the
selling relationship. Recording a sales transaction requires that a customer, stored as a party in the trading community
model, has both a customer account and customer site with a bill-to business purpose.
To understand the role of a customer in the context of the trading community model, it's helpful to understand a few
related concepts. The key concepts related to customers and customer activities are:

• Party
• Customer
• Customer Account
• Site
• Relationship

Party
A party is an entity that can enter into a business relationship with another party, such as buying and selling goods
or oering services. A party can be either an organization or a person. A party exists separately from any business
relationship that it enters into with another party.

Customer
A customer is a party, either an organization or a person, with whom you have a selling relationship. This selling
relationship can result, for example, from the purchase of products and services or from the negotiation of terms and
conditions that provide the basis for future purchases.

Customer Account
A customer account represents the aributes of the business relationship that a party can enter into with another party.
The customer account has information about the terms and conditions of doing business with the party.
For example, you can create a commercial account for purchases made by a company for internal use, and a reseller
account for purchases made by the same company for sales of your products to end users.

You can create multiple customer accounts for a party to maintain information about dierent categories of business
activities. For example, to track invoices for dierent types of purchases, you can maintain an account for purchasing
oce supplies and another account for purchasing furniture.

You can also maintain multiple customer accounts for a customer that transacts business with more than one line of
business in your organization.

You can share information about a party, such as prole information, creditworthiness, addresses, and contacts, across
the customer accounts of the party. In addition, you can also maintain separate proles and contacts, along with contact
addresses and contact points, for each customer account.

Site
A site is a point in space described by an address. A party site is the place where a party is physically located.

Oracle Subscription Management Cloud Chapter 3
Implementing Subscription Management Subscription Management Setup Checklist

A customer site is a party site that's used in the context of a customer account. A single customer account can have
multiple sites.

A customer address is a site that's used for billing, shipping, or other purposes that are part of the selling relationship.
An identifying address is the party site address that identies the location of the party. Every party has only one
identifying address, but a party can have multiple party sites.

Relationship
A party relationship is the role of the party in the context of another party. Examples include aliate, subsidiary,
partner, employee, or contact.
An account relationship between dierent customer accounts of a party allows for the sharing of billing, shipping, and
payment information.

Here are the steps to dene Organization Name, Accounts, and Sites:

1. Navigate to the Setup and Maintenance work area.
2. Search and select the Manage Customers task.
3. On the Manage Customers page, click the Create icon.
4. On the Create Organization Customer page, enter the required information in the Account Address section.

Note: The information in the Account Address section must match the information dened
for Customer Account Site in the Manage Set Assignments for the Business Unit section.

5. Click Save and Close.
6. To enter additional accounts for a customer, click the Create icon in the Account section and enter the required
information on the Create Account page.
7. Click Save and Close.
8. To add sites associated with the account have created, click the Create icon in the Sites section and enter the
required information on the Create Account Sites page.
9. Ensure that there's at least one Site with the Purpose set as Bill to or Bill to and Ship to.
10. Click Save and Close.

Dene Party Roles and Contact Roles for Subscriptions
Party roles provide a way of specifying the roles of dierent parties in the subscription. For example, a sales contract
may include the customer, a partner, and the internal business unit selling the product or service. The application
comes with predened party roles, but you can create additional roles to suit your needs.
To dene party roles, contact roles, and role sources:

1. In your implementation project, navigate to Dene Subscriptions and open the Manage Subscription Party
Roles task
2. Create new party roles as needed.
3. Navigate to Dene Subscriptions and open the Manage Subscription Contact Roles task.
4. Create new contact roles as needed.
5. For each party role set up in the previous step, enter the required information for the associated contact roles.

Oracle Subscription Management Cloud Chapter 3
Implementing Subscription Management Subscription Management Setup Checklist

Set Up User Statuses and User Transitions for
Subscriptions
A subscription has predened statuses that characterizes its life cycle. In addition, you can dene user statuses and their
transitions.
For example, as a subscription specialist you may want to pass the subscription for a more thorough review by the
appropriate team, such as Legal, Financial, and Accounts. You can do this using the user statuses and transitions that
you dene.

To dene user and status transitions:
1. Dene user statuses and their transitions using the Manage Subscription User Statuses and Transitions task.

Note: While dening user statuses, ensure that you select Allow Assignment for each of
the user transitions. This enables you to assign the subscription to named assignees during a
user transition.
2. Use the Event Models tasks from the Subscription Conguration work area to create new events and actions for
the business object oracle.apps.subscriptionManagementsubscriptionService.view.SubscriptionsVO.
a. A new state associated with the new user status must be added to the appropriate event model.
b. The action associated with the "Entry" event of the new state is then set to update the user status code to
the new user status.
c. Add any other possible events for this new state.
d. Link to the existing state by adding a new event for the "DRAFT" state so that your new status is available
for a subscription in Draft status.
3. Set these events up for each To and From state of the user transition. For seeded states you can select from
available events and actions. An example of an action could be a groovy script.
4. Save this new State based event model and specify the condition that can use this. For subscriptions of the
specied condition, the user statuses and transitions that you created are available as Action menu items.
You can use these action menu items to pass a subscription between teams for review before submiing the
subscription for approval.
User statuses and transitions apply only to subscriptions that fulll the condition dened in the Event Model.

Dene Unit of Measure
The way you dene unit of measure conversion for time in Oracle Subscription Management is dierent from other
cloud applications. Time-unit mapping ensures that the scheduling is more accurate than a simple conversion, such as
6 months = 180 days. To dene your own time unit conversions for billing scheduling, you must dene your own time
unit conversions.
To dene unit of measure:
1. Open the Manage Units of Measure Proles task.
2. Search for the Prole Option Code RCS_DEFAULT_UOM_SERVICE_DURATION_CLASS.
3. Select the Prole Value to specify a default unit of measure class.

Oracle Subscription Management Cloud Chapter 3
Implementing Subscription Management Subscription Management Setup Checklist

4. Click Save and Close.

Dene Subscription Time Unit Mappings
Time unit mappings are used to convert the service duration and period between dierent time units. To dene time
unit mappings for the Manage Subscription Time Unit Mappings task:
1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, search for your implementation project, navigate to Manage
Subscription Time Unit Mappings task .
2. Click the Create icon to dene base units and conversion rate to be applied to user units you have selected for
your time unit UOM.
3. Click Save and Close.

Dene Order Management Parameters
Specify the item validation organization to validate and display item for the subscription that the user enters for a
business unit.
For example, assume you create a record in the Item Validation Organization list, you set the Business Unit for this
record to Vision Operations, and you set the Organization to Vision America. In this situation, only the items that are
associated with Vision America are displayed when the user creates an order for Vision Operations.

Note:
• You must specify an item validation organization for each business unit. If you do not do this, then
Subscription Management disables search for the item in each subscription that references a business
unit that you do not specify. As an alternative, if you use the same master organization for every business
unit, then you can specify this organization in the Item Validation Organization parameter, and then set the
Business Unit for this parameter to All Business Units.
• You can set the Item Validation Organization only for business units that Subscription Management
associates with your login responsibility. If it associates your login responsibility with only one business unit,
then it uses this business unit as the item validation organization.

To dene Order Management Parameters:

1. In your implementation project, navigate to Dene Subscriptions and open the Manage Order Management
Parameters task.
2. Click Item Validation Organization in the General tab and select a business unit and organization from the
drop-down lists. Add or remove rows, if necessary.
3. Click Save and Close.
