We are implementing the WACS–OFS Accelerator version 25.4.
During configuration of Inventory Types https://docs.oracle.com/en/industries/energy-water/cloud-integrations/254/wacs-ofs-setup-guide/index.html#page/WACS-OFS-SETUP-GUIDE/Setup_Guide_Additional_OFS_Configurations.05.10.html# , the screenshot in the documentation instructs us to use the following Model Properties:
- Item Type
- Item Category
- wam_material_id
After importing the 25.4 Properties XML, only wam_material_id exists.
The properties Item Type and Item Category are missing from the 25.4 package.
To validate this, we compared the accelerator artifacts:
- 24C Properties XML contains ~1,631 properties, including Item Type and Item Category.
- 25.4 Properties XML contains only 415 properties, and neither of these inventory fields exists.
Because of this, we cannot complete the OFS Inventory Type configuration as described in the documentation. There is no mention of this change in the properties artifact in the 25.4 release note as well.
Additional Impact: Activity Process Failure in OIC
If the required Inventory Types cannot be created in OFS due to the missing model properties, the Oracle Utilities WACS OFSC Activity Process fails when WACS attempts to create an activity with inventory updates.
The activity itself is created in OFS, but the inventory update operation fails, resulting in errors in OIC. Below is the exact response received:
<bulkUpdate_POSTResponse xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/cloud/adapter/ofsccloudadapter/invokeOFSCAddActivity_REQUEST/types">
<activities.definitions.customActionActivityBulkUpdateSchemaResponse>
<results xmlns="https://api.etadirect.com/rest/ofscCore/v1/metadata-catalog/http://xmlns.oracle.com/cloud/adapter/ofsccloudadapter/invokeOFSCAddActivity_REQUEST/types%22>

</errors>
<operationsFailed>updateInventories</operationsFailed>
<operationsPerformed>createActivity</operationsPerformed>
</results>
</activities.definitions.customActionActivityBulkUpdateSchemaResponse>
</bulkUpdate_POSTResponse>
Please confirm:
- Were Item Type and Item Category intentionally removed from the 25.4 accelerator?
- If yes, what is the updated guidance for Inventory Type configuration since the documentation still references these properties?
- If not, can Oracle provide the corrected properties XML that includes the missing fields?
We have attached both 24C and 25.4 properties XML files for reference.
