Supply chains are being asked to respond faster — with fewer resources — while volatility, compliance requirements, and cost pressure keep rising. Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM 26A focuses on practical, built in AI that helps teams reduce manual work, accelerate decision cycles, and improve operations — without requiring additional technology or complex integrations.
With modern Redwood user experiences, 26A brings AI-driven workflows to both front-line operators and back-office teams — so data turns into action inside the processes where work actually happens. What’s new in 26A? Outcomes supply chain leaders can measure.
Strengthen resiliency with faster product and supply changes
Resilience often comes down to how quickly teams can evaluate alternatives and execute change. In PLM, AI-powered automation supports onboarding, catalog management, and change control. Enhanced traceability — like consolidated BOM views and item audit history — helps teams move faster with confidence. One great example is the Component Replacement Assistant AI Agent that accelerates alternative sourcing decisions and supports faster change orders.
What this enables: reduced disruption when parts become constrained and faster execution of engineering and sourcing changes.
Improve planning speed, predictability, and S&OP decision velocity
Planning teams need faster cycles and more confidence in the plan — especially when conditions change midstream. In Supply Chain Planning, new AI Agents help automate order release, optimize S&OP workflows, and improve scheduling predictability through intelligent sequencing.
What this enables: quicker decisions, improved schedule stability, and more time for planners to focus on higher-value work.
Smarter reviews and simpler supplier management
Procurement teams are under constant pressure to move faster while maintaining compliance and leverage. 26A adds AI-driven contract review automation and simplifies supplier and negotiation management.
What this enables: shorter cycle times, improved consistency, and less administrative work across procurement workflows.
Reduce manual work and manage by exception across supply chain execution
When execution teams spend their day chasing exceptions, service and cost-to-serve suffer. In 26A, embedded AI Agents in Inventory Management, Cost Management, and Order Management help automate allocation and exception handling, surface risks such as aging stock and anomalies, and improve picking and cost visibility.
26A also enhances process manufacturing across recipe, batch, and materials management to improve control, tracking, and end-to-end visibility.
What this enables: faster resolution of issues, better inventory health, and fewer “fire drills” that disrupt operations.
Improve logistics responsiveness — where minutes matter
26A delivers new Redwood interfaces across Logistics, including faster ad-hoc restricted party screening in Global Trade Management, plus a refreshed Transportation Management mobile experience for better navigation and consistency. In Warehouse Management, the Wave Research Assistant summarizes wave results and flags urgent issues to speed resolution.
What this enables: faster operational decisions, reduced risk, and improved throughput in daily logistics execution.
Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM 26A continues Oracle’s focus on built in AI, Redwood experiences, and targeted innovation — helping organizations improve efficiency, accuracy, and responsiveness across the supply chain.
