Oracle Subscription Management (OSM) to Oracle Revenue Management Cloud (RMCS) Integration: A Deep Dive

Understanding the Integration

Oracle Subscription Management (OSM) and Oracle Revenue Management Cloud (RMCS) are powerful tools that, when integrated, can streamline revenue recognition processes and enhance financial visibility. This integration involves the transfer of critical subscription data from OSM to RMCS, enabling accurate revenue recognition and billing.

Key Tables in the OSM – RMCS Integration Process

To facilitate this data transfer, three primary interface tables are involved:

• OSS_RMCS_DOC_T : This table stores the basic header information of the subscription, such as the document date, number, bill-to customer and site IDs, subscription start date, and number.
• OSS_RMCS_DOC_LINES_T : This table contains details about the subscription lines, including quantity, unit selling price, and line amount.
• OSS_RMCS_DOC_SUB_LINES_T : This table stores information about satisfaction events, which are crucial for revenue recognition.

The Data Flow: A Step-by-Step Breakdown

• Scheduled Process Execution : Below scheduled processes are executed which transfers the data to RMCS base tables :
  • Send Subscription Revenue Information to Oracle Revenue Management Cloud
  • Validate Customer Contract Source Data
  • Identify Customer Contracts
• Data Interface : The data from the three OSM tables is interfaced to the following VRM interface tables in RMCS:
  • VRM_SOURCE_DOCUMENTS : Stores the header information, mirroring the data in OSS_RMCS_DOC_T
  • VRM_SOURCE_DOC_LINES : Stores the line-level details, corresponding to the data in OSS_RMCS_DOC_LINES_T
  • VRM_SOURCE_DOC_SUB_LINES : Stores the satisfaction event information, aligning with the data in OSS_RMCS_DOC_SUB_LINES_T

• RMCS Processing : Once the data is successfully interfaced, RMCS processes it to recognize revenue accurately, generate invoices, and provide detailed financial insights.

Here is an overview of how subscription management events impact revenue recognition within a revenue management system (RMS). It highlights the key stages in a subscription’s lifecycle and how each stage triggers specific revenue recognition actions

The Standard Mapping of Columns between OSM Tables and RMCS is as follow :
