R12 TCA (TRADING COMMUNITY ARCHITECTURE)
R12 TCA (Trading Community Architecture):

What is TCA?
Oracle Trading Community Architecture (TCA) is a data model that allows you to manage complex
information about the parties, or customers.
Trading Community Architecture is the implementation of technology and applications 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-turn becomes 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:
Create a central repository for the entire E-Business Suite to store information relating to all members of a
trading community versus separate tables for each member-Prospects, Customers, Contacts, Employees, Partners,
Distributors, Suppliers, Banks, etc.
Record complex business relationships between Trading Community entities (including 3rd party
relationships).
Support all business models, industries, and geographies.
