How Loftware Integration for Oracle Integration Cloud connects to Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM
Loftware adapter for Oracle Integration 3
An OIC adapter listens to Oracle SCM Cloud business events, builds a print request and sends it to Loftware. Print status is returned to Oracle so the transaction can show whether the label printed. Integrations are built and monitored in the OIC console.
Spectrum Cloud Integration Agent for Enterprise SP
For plants running Loftware Enterprise SP (version 5.2 or later), an agent installed inside your network lets OIC reach the on-prem Spectrum server and the printers behind your firewall.
What data moves
| From | To | Data | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oracle SCM Cloud | Oracle Integration | Business event, for example a receipt or shipment confirmation | Event raised |
| Oracle Integration | Loftware | Label data fields and template name | Event received |
| Loftware | Printer | Rendered label | Print job accepted |
| Loftware | Oracle SCM Cloud | Print status | After print attempt |
Setting it up
- 1Confirm OIC accessMake sure you have an OIC 3 instance and that the Loftware adapter is available to install in it.
- 2Decide Cloud or Enterprise SPLoftware Cloud suits cloud-reachable printers; Enterprise SP with the agent suits plants whose printers stay on the internal network.
- 3Install the agent where neededFor Enterprise SP, install the Spectrum Cloud Integration Agent on a server that reaches both Spectrum and the internet outbound.
- 4Choose the Oracle eventsPick the receipt, pack, ship or work order events that should print a label and list the fields each label needs.
- 5Build the label templatesDesign templates in Loftware with variables named to match the OIC mapping.
- 6Build and test the integrationMap event fields to template variables in OIC, then test with sample transactions at each printer.
- 7MonitorSet OIC alerts on failed instances and check print status back in Oracle.
What usually breaks
- !Variable names in the template and in the OIC mapping drift apart after a template edit, giving blank fields.
- !Unit of measure or lot and serial formats on the label do not match what Oracle holds, causing scan failures at the customer.
- !Printers behind a firewall are unreachable from Loftware Cloud without a local agent.
- !An event that fires twice, such as a reprocessed transaction, prints duplicate labels.
- !Print status returned to Oracle is not the same as a physical print; paper-out conditions still need operator checks.
- !OIC and Oracle release updates can change event payloads, so regression test labels after each quarterly update.
A private AI layer across both systems
Label failure triage
A private assistant can read OIC instance errors and Loftware job logs together, name the failing field or printer, and draft the fix for an admin to approve.
Label to transaction reconciliation
Ask which receipts today have no label printed, answered by comparing Oracle transactions with Loftware job history.
Template change impact
Before a template edit, list which Oracle events and OIC mappings use that template.

Oracle Fusion SCM Implementation Readiness Assessment
Ten questions that show whether data, process, integration and people are ready for a Fusion SCM implementation.
When something else fits better
- Oracle's own report-based labels from BI Publisher can be enough for simple document-style labels.
- A mobile data collection product with built-in label printing may be simpler if you already use handhelds.
- For heavily regulated GS1 or customer-specific labels, keep a dedicated label system and use the adapter only for triggering.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need Oracle Integration to use this?
Yes. The documented approach is an adapter for Oracle Integration 3, which receives Oracle SCM Cloud events and calls Loftware. If you do not license OIC, ask Loftware or Oracle about other supported routes, because custom REST calls from Fusion are a different project with more upkeep.
Can printers stay on my internal network?
With Loftware Enterprise SP 5.2 or later, the Spectrum Cloud Integration Agent bridges OIC to your on-prem Spectrum server, so printers can stay behind the firewall. With Loftware Cloud, printers must be reachable by that service, which usually means Loftware's cloud print connectivity.
Is print status sent back to Oracle?
Yes, Loftware documents returning print status to Oracle. Treat it as confirmation that the job was handled, not proof that a label is on the box. Operators still need a check for paper-out or ribbon errors, particularly on shipping and compliance labels.
