Understanding Oracle SCM and 25C Update: Deep Dive into Features, Functions, and Value
The Supply Chain Management (SCM) process starts with planning and forecasting demand, followed by qualifying and negotiating with suppliers. Procurement and contracts are then managed to source goods effectively. Logistics ensures smooth movement of products to consumers, while invoicing and payments maintain financial accuracy. Finally, supplier performance is reviewed to drive continuous improvement and ensure long-term supply chain efficiency.
The Oracle SCM 25C update, releasing in early August 2025, brings a wave of transformative enhancements aimed at streamlining and modernizing supply chain operations. It introduces AI powered experiences, user interface enhancements, and platform extensions across the entire supply chain suite. It’s not just an incremental upgrade; it’s a strategic leap forward.
Meeting the Release That’s Rewriting the Supply Chain Rulebook
1. AI at the Core
- Oracle is weaving AI into the fabric of supply chain operations, not just for analytics, but for decision-making, messaging, and planning.
- This means smarter negotiations, more accurate forecasts, and proactive issue resolution.
2. Redwood UX Expansion
- The Redwood user experience isn’t just a visual refresh, it’s a usability revolution.
- With more modules adopting this design, users get a consistent, intuitive interface that reduces training time and boosts productivity.
3. End-to-End Visibility
- Enhancements in receiving, inventory, and supplier collaboration mean fewer blind spots.
- Real-time data and better dashboards empower teams to act faster and with more confidence.
4. Flexible Procurement Workflows
- The ability to split, reassign, and convert requisition lines gives procurement teams unprecedented control.
- Negotiation workflows are now more dynamic, allowing for better supplier engagement and cost management.
5. Warehouse Intelligence
- The new reconciliation workbench isn’t just a dashboard, it’s a command center for integration health.
