If your supply chain team recently groaned at the latest tariff headlines, you’re not alone. Few things make an Oracle SCM admin’s day more “exciting” than being called to recalibrate landed cost setups, GTM rules, and sourcing hierarchies.
You may be searching for something that can alleviate the stress of these shifts. For those Opkey alongside Oracle SCM, you’re not in trouble—you’re simply standing at the center of a global trade shakeup with the best safety net possible. Tariff shifts don’t change what Oracle SCM does—they just crank up the volume on how important it is to have automation backing you up.
What Changes in the Real World
It’s no secret that tariff policy these days has been a headache for IT leads. As rates go up or down, your tariff logic and landed cost configurations in Oracle SCM will need frequent tuneups. Each tweak—no matter how small—can throw risk across procure-to-pay or order-to-cash flows.ups. Each tweak—no matter how small—can throw risk across procuretopay or ordertocash flows.
And there’s likely to be a onetime, allhandsondeck wave of updates around how you tag, calculate, and report duties. Refund claims, audits, and new “replacement” tariffs will have your reporting teams reaching for extra coffee.
In short, the tariff plot keeps changing. You’ll need to keep up—and keep your SCM setup airtight while you do it.
