Understanding Bulk Order functionality and Implementation

'Bulk Order' module provides the ability to mass-generate orders for a group of assets that are based on a set of common actions. For e.g. A telco is launching new-services, say pre-paid cards. Bulk Order functionality could be used to create bulk pre-paid numbers which could directly be connected/activated to/for the direct user once sold  (this example is just an imagination for understanding).  Please note that this is an optional module that requires additional licensing and installation files.

Siebel Industry Applications - Bulk Orders Installation Toolkit could be downloaded from Oracle's eDelivery site (http://edelivery.oracle.com/).

The implementation instructions:

   S_BR_ACTN_SET
   S_BR_EXCPTN

   Order_Entry.sif
   CUT_Siebel_Communications.sif
   ABO_Bulk_Request.sif
   ABO_Bulk_Request_UI.sif
