Cons

  • We can enter manual entries into Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud and all manual entries do not have proper control.
  • It performs slow when it must extract the data in large amounts.
  • Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud doesn’t maintain sales return entries because it’s not an order management system. In order to use this feature, we need to configure or deploy another solution, which is Order Management System. We cannot consider it as a demerit of Oracle Warehouse Management Cloud but for a single feature, we cannot deploy another module. .
