Supply chains are under constant pressure to respond faster, manage disruption, and operate more efficiently. Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM 26B introduces practical innovations designed to help teams reduce manual work, improve decision speed, and keep operations on track.
This release builds on three key areas: AI-powered automation, user experiences that support how people actually work, and continued investment in industry-specific capabilities. As with prior releases, these innovations are built directly into Oracle Fusion applications — with no additional systems or integrations required.
What’s new in 26B: measurable improvements across the supply chain
Faster product innovation and change control
In Product Lifecycle Management, new workflows standardize how items are created and approved, helping teams launch products with complete and accurate data.
Tools like rules impact analysis allow teams to test changes before they go live, reducing risk. An AI-based change order audit helps identify missing information and policy violations early in the process.
Result: faster product introductions with fewer errors and better compliance.
Improve planning intelligence, responsiveness, and execution alignment

Improve planning intelligence, responsiveness, and execution alignment
Supply Chain Planning enhancements help teams identify and resolve issues earlier.
The Planning Stockout Advisor highlights high-value shortages and suggests ways to address them. New backlog diagnostics show what’s delaying orders — whether it’s materials, capacity, or supplier constraints. Fair-share allocation improves how limited supply is distributed across locations.
Planning also now reflects real production conditions, including line schedules and process constraints.
Result: more reliable plans and faster response to supply issues.
More automation across supply chain execution
In inventory operations, AI agents help reduce time spent managing exceptions. Teams can quickly identify shortages, manage lot-controlled inventory, and automate tasks like ASN and receipt creation directly from supplier emails. Task assignment is also improved by aligning work with employee availability and skills.
In manufacturing, new tools help manage changes, validate work orders, and improve visibility into work in progress.
Result: smoother day-to-day operations with fewer disruptions.
Improved order management and better customer outcomes
Updates in Order Management strengthen the connection between sales, service, and fulfillment.
A unified view of customer assets supports the full quote-to-order process, while centralized pricing ensures consistency. New diagnostics help identify and resolve scheduling delays more quickly.
Result: faster order processing and improved customer experience.
Increase logistics efficiency and decision speed
Transportation and warehouse operations gain better visibility and control.
AI tools help explain planning decisions, compare shipping options, and highlight inventory discrepancies or risks such as expiring stock. Warehouse teams can better prioritize work and avoid delays.
Result: faster issue resolution and improved throughput.
Introducing agentic applications for end-to-end supply chain orchestration
26B also introduces a new way of working with Fusion SCM through agentic applications.
These role-based agentic applications bring together information, recommendations, and tasks in one place — reasoning across all areas to guide users on what needs attention — and taking action without switching between systems. For example, teams can move from product design to supplier sourcing in a single workflow.
Result: quicker decisions at scale and better coordination across teams.
Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM 26B continues to focus on practical innovation — helping organizations improve efficiency, maintain control, and respond more effectively to change.
