R12 TCA (Trading Community Architecture):

What is TCA?

Oracle Trading Community Architecture (TCA) is a data model that allows you tomanage complex information about the parties, or customers.

Trading Community Architecture is the implementation of technology andapplications to allow users to create and maintain relationships among entities. It

is a way to understand who your customer interacts with inside and outside the

enterprise.

Note: Customer, Vendor, Supplier are the terms that we come across very

frequently.

For instance: We buy goods from a Shop Vendor so we are the Customer to that

Vendor and the Vendor is our Supplier for that good. The Vendor gets goods from

a merchant who actually produces it (Manufacturer), so now the vendor in-turnbecomes a customer to the Manufacturer who is the Supplier.

The complete TCA can be related and runs around all these terms, these may be

people we meet generally who might be a Supplier or Customer in our

perspective.

Now moving ahead lets go in details about TCA.

How TCA Matters?

Before TCA:

There are multiple customer definitions across the enterprise. It was very difficult to track current and historical information about the

customers.

There was a lack of support for mixed business. It was quite tough to understand relationships between customers and others

(suppliers, partners, competitors)

After TCA:
