Typographic Conventions in Oracle Application Navigation Paths

This course uses simplified navigation paths, such as the following example, to direct you
through Oracle Applications.
(N) Invoice > Entry > Invoice Batches Summary (M) Query > Find (B) Approve
This simplified path translates to the following:

n l y
1. (N) From the Navigator window, select Invoice then Entry then Invoice Batches

2.
Summary.
(M) From the menu, select Query then Find.

Typographical Conventions in Oracle Application Help System Paths
This course uses a “navigation path” convention to represent actions you perform to find
pertinent information in the Oracle Applications Help System.
The following help navigation path, for example—
(Help) General Ledger > Journals > Enter Journals
—represents the following sequence of actions:
1. In the navigation frame of the help system window, expand the General Ledger entry.
2. Under the General Ledger entry, expand Journals.
3. Under Journals, select Enter Journals.
4. Review the Enter Journals topic that appears in the document frame of the help system
window.

When you enter an item in the Pricing and Availability window, the related pricing and
availability information of that item is displayed for you. This window enables you to query for
O
the price and availability of an item without creating a sales order, reservation, etc. The Pricing
and Availability window enables you to:
l &
• Perform price and availability checking without creating an order
n a
• Perform price and availability checking without placing demand or reservations

• Easily create an order or quote if the query results in a customers decision to buy the item

Usually the pricing engine displays the price of an item on the order line. Now, without creating
a sales order, you can view the list price and selling price of an item using the Pricing and
Availability window.

The Pricing and Availability window merely displays the price and stock status of an item. It
does not confirm that the displayed price or quantity will be the same on the actual order line.
a
Keeping the above in mind, the Pricing and Availability window gives you the entire pricing

picture of a given item. Price Breaks, Price Lists, Modifiers, Adjustments are all displayed in the
Pricing and Availability window so that you can see all the price information at a glance.

The Order Organizer is a series of folder files that can acts as an Orders Workbench.
l &
Use the Order Organizer to Find existing orders, Add new orders, or perform mass updates
across many orders or order lines.

The Order Organizer matches the criteria entered on the Find Orders form against Orders and
Order Lines. The selection criteria can be stored as a saved query then reused when needed
from the Navigator Tree.
I n
The Summary Form is used to display the retrieved Orders and Lines. This makes it possible to

For example, to identify an applicant’s potential credit risk, you must select a credit
classification, if not previously assigned, when entering a credit application. The credit
O
classification describes the type of credit relationship that you have with the applicant.

Credit Management provides you with High Risk, Low Risk, and Moderate Risk, but you can
optionally define new credit classifications to fit your business needs.

n l y
e O
Define Scoring Models
U s
A I
A scoring model consists of a group of data points, with scored ranges and a relative weighting
factor for each data point. During a credit analysis, Credit Management calculates a score from
O
0 to 100, with 0 representing the most risk and 100 representing the least risk.
l &
The View Scoring Models page displays a table of all existing scoring models. You can view
and update the scoring models by clicking the respective inline icons, or you can define a new
scoring model.
n a
te r
You can assign a default scoring model to a credit checklist. Alternatively, you can generate
various “what–if” scenarios during a credit review by selecting different scoring models from
the case folder.

Assign Automation Rules
U s
A I
Automation rules base credit decisions upon the credit score that the assigned scoring model
calculates. For each automation rule, you define recommendations for a related credit score
O
range. For example, if the credit score is below 50, you might want to automatically reject a
credit request.
l &
The Automation Rules page provides you with an overview of all scoring models for which a
a
set of automation rules is defined. You can view and update existing sets of automation rules

Credit Checklist
n l y
e O
Credit Checklist
U s
A I
For example, when a high risk customer seeks to increase its credit limit with your enterprise,
your credit policies might dictate a conservative approach until this customer relationship is
O
more established. In this scenario, you would use a conservative checklist to determine whether
l &
to grant additional credit and what the credit limit should be.
The flexible setup procedures that follow reflect Oracle Credit Management’s ability to meet
a
the demands of your enterprise’s particular credit policies.

Credit Usage Rule Sets
n l y
e O
Verify Credit Usage Rule Sets
U s
A I
For example, if a customer is assigned the Default profile class with a credit usage rule set that
includes USD, EUR, and CAD, then any transactions of those currencies are included in that
O
customer’s case folder for data points such as Count of Open Invoices or Amount of Open
Invoices.
l &
In Oracle Order Management, credit usage rule sets define the set of currencies that will share
a
a predefined credit limit during the credit checking process, and enable the grouping currencies
n
for global credit checking.

O
Credit Management
Chapter 8 - Page 13
Define Credit Hierarchies
n l y
e O
U s
A I
To provide global credit limits that are shared by some or all entities within a complex,
multinational organization, you can define credit relationships between parties using Oracle
Trading Community Architecture Relationship Manager.
O
l &
You can define a credit hierarchy of parties, party relationships, hierarchy levels, accounts, and
account sites. Typically, the party object and party subject in a credit relationship represent a
a
parent and child, or HQ and division hierarchy. For each entity in the hierarchy, you can view
n
te r
credit information, such as credit hold status, credit limits by currency, and credit review cycle.
Using Relationship Manager, you assign to your entities an existing relationship type, such as
I n
Global Ultimate, or your own user–defined Credit Management relationship type. You then
link the relationships to Credit Management by assigning the relationship type to the AR:
l e
Credit Hierarchy Type profile option. When you conduct a credit review for an entity that has
c
hierarchical relationships, Credit Management consolidates and displays all data for the entire
r
hierarchy.

Define Customer Profile Classes
U s
A I
You can also define amount limits for your finance charges, dunning, and statements for each
currency in which you do business. Define your standard customer profiles in the Customer
O
Profile Classes window. These profiles contain generic options you can use to group your
customers into broad categories.
l &
For example, you might define three categories: one for prompt paying customers; one for late
a
paying customers with high finance charge rates; and a third for customers who mostly pay on
n
te r
time, with discount incentives for early payment.
You can also use the profile class “DEFAULT,” which Oracle Receivables provides.

• If the workflow stops due to conditions such as missing data, then the workflow routes

notifications to the appropriate credit analyst for resolution.
• If a credit analyst was never assigned because the credit review was automated, then the
te r
workflow notifies the user with the Credit Scheduler responsibility that a credit analyst
must be assigned. The Credit Scheduler can select the credit analyst to be assigned from
I n
the List of Values. The assigned credit analyst then receives a notification that they have
a credit request in their queue.
l e
• If the credit review is not automated, then the workflow assigns the credit review to the
c

appropriate credit analyst and notifies the analyst about the assignment.
• With unautomated credit reviews, credit analysts make recommendations, such as
O increasing or decreasing the credit limit, after performing the credit analysis.

O
the pricing engine evaluates the appropriate modifiers and price lists, resolves incompatibility

issues, retrieves the list price, and calculates the unit selling price and adjustments. The search
engine receives pricing information from entities like price lists, modifiers, qualifiers,
formulas, products and pricing attributes.

In Oracle Applications, the basic level of security called functional security is implemented to
control users’ access to different windows, controls, and reports in the application.
O
Additionally, Oracle Pricing has its own security setup called pricing security that works along
l &
with functional security to provide a secure environment where the user can view, update, or
add pricing entities within a framework of authorizations and permissions. Pricing entities are
a
price lists, modifiers, and agreements. You can set up pricing security if you have the Oracle
n
te r
Pricing Administrator responsibility.
Using pricing security, you can assign pricing entities to operating units, assign privileges, and
n
set security rules for pricing entities.

Overview of Price Lists
n l y
e O
U s
A I
A price list is useful for maintaining the prices and other pricing details of products and
services. It serves as a repository of items with their related pricing details. You can call up a
O
price list and add/edit/delete related items and item categories. You can also use the price list to
l &
define attributes for the products, which will then determine the pricing action.
An item should have a price when it is entered on a sales order line. Once the pricing engine
a
populates the Unit Price field by deriving the price from the appropriate price list, the order can
n
be booked.
te r
The header region of the price list consists of fields to store the price list name, the effective
I n
dates of the price list, currency, multi-currency conversion, pricing controls, rounding factor
and shipping defaults like freight terms and freight carriers.
l e
You can enter one or more pricing lines to the price list. However you may add only one
c
secondary price list. Pricing attributes can also be used to determine the price in the price list.
r a
O

Oracle Pricing enables you to establish agreements with your customers, where you can define
prices, payment terms, and freight terms for items. Two types of agreements can be created:
Standard Agreements or Pricing Agreements.
O
l &
• Standard Agreements use standard price lists. Standard Agreements can be generic or
specific to a customer or customer family.
n a
• Pricing Agreements use Agreement Price Lists. These price lists are set up and
te r
maintained through the Agreements window. Special terms and conditions can also be
specified in the Pricing Agreement which can then be defaulted in the sales order.

e O
Overview of Formulas
U s
A I
You can define prices as constant values or create formulas to provide pricing flexibility and
the ability to carry out complex computations. Some of the formulas that are created are based
on the following formula component types:
O
&
• Factor List – You can apply different factor values for varying item attributes
l
• Numeric Constant – Numeric value
n a
• Pricing Context – Grouping of pricing attributes, of which a maximum of 100 can be
te r
incorporated in the formula
• Product Context – which contains only one attribute, item
I n
You can create formulas in the Pricing Formulas window.
l e
Oracle Pricing provides seeded formulas, such as the Freight and Special Charges Formulas
c
which includes the Cost to Charge Conversion formula and Cost to Charge Markup formula.
r a
These formulas carry out the process of converting freight costs to freight charges.

Overview of Qualifiers
U s
A qualifier defines eligibility rules for modifiers and price lists.
A I
A qualifier can be a customer name, a customer class, an order type, or an order amount that
can span orders. O
&
Though a qualifier may be set up independently, it comes into effect only when linked to a
l
n a
modifier or a price list. Thus, the modifier that is set up and linked to a qualifier determines
who the price adjustment will affect as well as the amount that will change.
te r
You can create qualifier groups to apply individual qualifiers as a set. When you group
qualifiers, they become a set, which allows for faster searching and setup.

Overview of Modifiers
n l y
e O
Overview of Modifiers
U s
A I
Modifiers determine the adjustments made to the list price. These are dependant on various
business factors such as the type of adjustments to make, the level at which the adjustments are
O
made, how the modifiers are qualified, how they are applied, etc. You can create three modifier
list types in Oracle Pricing:
• Discount List
l &
• Surcharge List
n a
te r
• Freight and Special Charges List
There are four modifier line types available in Oracle Pricing:
• Discount
I n
• Surcharge
c l e
• Freight and Special Charges: Amount applied to the customer invoice for movement of a
r a
shipment to a destination
O
• Price Break: Only point price breaks are allowed in Basic Pricing modifiers. For
example, the following pricing decisions are:
If Item Quantity = 1-50, then discount = 5%
Overview of Pricing
Chapter 9 - Page 18
If Item Quantity = 51-100, then discount = 7%
If Item Quantity is between 101 and 99999999999, then discount = 10%.
So if the ordered item quantity is 110, then the discount applicable is 10%.
Modifier controls are of the following types:
Pricing Event is a time in the process flow of the calling application at which it makes a call to
the pricing engine (analogous to an Oracle Workflow event); for example, Book Order in
Order Management.
Pricing Phase is a user-defined group of modifiers that the search engine considers together
when applying them to pricing requests, for example, Phase 1: Line Adjustments.
Incompatibility: In any given level within the same phase, the system only allows one modifier
to be selected. The pricing engine may retrieve more than one modifier that meets the calling
request and can be applied. There are three methods to resolve incompatibilities within the
modifiers that the pricing engine retrieves:
• Precedence
• Best price
• Exclusivity
Incompatibility Level: Each modifier has an incompatibility level. If there is more than one
modifier line with the same incompatibility level, the pricing engine selects the one with the
highest precedence. If there is more than one modifier with the highest precedence in an
incompatibility level, the pricing engine selects the modifier that provides the best benefit to
the customer.
l y
In Basic Pricing, users cannot add additional phases or events, and incompatibility level and
buckets are defaulted.

A I
Oracle offers two levels of pricing functionality: Basic and the separate enhanced product,
Advanced Pricing. While both levels of functionality share some similarities, the licensed
O
Advanced Pricing application extends the ability to adjust pricing.
Price Lists
l &
n a
The creation of price lists within both levels carries many of the same elements. Both are able
to add items to, and copy price lists. However, as you implement Advanced Pricing, the ability
te r
to use Qualifiers, Pricing Attributes, and Secondary Price Lists becomes extended from only
allowing the default or one context element in Basic, to an unlimited number of values being
available.
Agreements I n
l e
The use of Agreements is the same for both Basic and Advanced Pricing. They are both able
c
r
Formulas a
to identify customer items, create price lists, use versioning, and define price breaks.
O
Both Basic and Advanced Pricing allow Static Formulas, while only Advanced Pricing allows
the use of Dynamic Formulas.
Overview of Pricing
Chapter 9 - Page 22
Modifiers
While both basic and Advanced Pricing have the ability to execute Discounts, Surcharges,
Freight Charges, and point-based price breaks, Advanced Pricing extends this functionality
greatly. Advanced Pricing also allows price modifications via Coupons, Terms Substitution,
Promotions, Item Upgrades, and Other Items discounts. Additionally, Advanced Pricing
allows you to implement adjustment functionality that will change the list price used for the
adjustment; affect the timing of when the adjusting activity will occur; and enable you to
define rules affecting which adjustments may be used at the same time. In Advanced Pricing,
you can also flag discounts as exclusive, which implies that only that discount will be eligible
and no others.
Note: Additionally, Advanced Pricing enables you to derive prices from external sources. For
further information on the Advanced Pricing functionality, please refer to the Advanced
Pricing User and Implementation Manuals.

U s
The following terms are used in pricing security:
• Pricing entity: can be a price list, modifier, or agreement. A I
O
• Entity type: a type of pricing entity like a Pricing Agreement, Standard Price List etc.
l &
• Entity usage: grants the entity’s usage to one or all operating units so it can be
used during pricing engine calls.
n a
te r
• Global Usage: when this is enabled for a pricing entity, the entity can be used across all
operating units. When this is set to No, then the usage of the pricing entity is restricted to
I n
the operating unit that created it. However if the global usage as well as the operating unit
are specified, then global usage takes precedence.
le
• Grantee: the user who is granted permission to view or maintain a pricing entity
c
• Grantee Type: the level at which privileges are granted:
r - Globala
O - Operating Unit
• Access Level: is of two kinds – View-Only and Maintain access given to a grantee for a
pricing entity.

A I
Security Implementation Steps – Assigning Pricing Entities to Operating Units
O
There are two scenarios where you can assign pricing entities to operating units: before
implementing Pricing Security and after implementing Pricing Security.
l &
Pricing entities that have been created before implementing Pricing Security normally would
n a
not have operating units assigned to them. In such a situation, the Pricing Administrator can
assign ownership of pricing entities to the appropriate operating unit. Also the Global Usage
te r
option can be used to enable or disable the use of the pricing entity across operating units.
After Pricing Security is implemented, a Global box is added to the header of the price list or
I n
modifier entity. Though the Global check box is selected by default, the user can clear this to
e
restrict the entity to the user’s operating unit. Also all pricing entities that have been created
l
after implementing Pricing Security have a unique system-generated Operating Unit identifier
c
assigned to them. When querying newly-created pricing entities in the Pricing Security pages,
r a
the operating unit ownership is displayed in the Owned By Operating Unit field.
O
Assign Global Usage or owned by Operating Units to multiple pricing entities collectively
using the Bulk Update Entity Usage button on the Entity Usage page.

precedence. For example, if a user has Maintain access at his operating unit level, but has a
view-only access at his user level, the Maintain access privilege will have precedence.

• QP: Security Default ViewOnly Privilege: This is applicable for newly created pricing
entities. This profile option enables you to set the view-only privileges at one of the
l &
following grantee levels: Global (Default), Operating Unit, Responsibility, User, or
None. This controls which users can view newly-created price lists and modifiers.
n a
• QP: Security Default Maintain Privilege: This is applicable for newly created pricing
te r
entities. For example, if the profile option is set to Operating Unit, then the maintain
privileges for that price list or modifier are restricted to the pricing users of the operating
I n
unit where the price list or modifier was created. This profile option enables you to set
maintain privileges at one of the following levels: Global (Default), Operating Unit,
le
Responsibility, User, or None.

• For already existing pricing entities, the Privileges window should be used to change the

Security Implementation Steps – Turning Security On
U s
steps have been completed: A I
Before turning the profile option QP: Security Control on, you must ensure that the following
• Mapping of security requirements O

&
• Assignment of an operating unit owner for existing pricing entities
l
• Granting privileges
n a
te r
If these steps are not completed, then users will not be able to use any pricing entities. Once
Pricing Security is activated, it should not be turned off.
I n
When the profile option QP: Security Control is set to ON, the Global box is dynamically
added to the headers of all price lists and modifiers. Though this box is visible to all, it can be
c le
cleared or selected only by users with Maintain privileges.
Before the profile option is turned on, it is essential that the pricing entities are assigned to an
r a
operating unit. After the profile is turned on, a newly created pricing entity gets assigned the
creating operating unit automatically.

The Pricing Engine requires that all Items, Services, Models, Option Classes, and Options
l
n a
should be selected and displayed on the price list.
You will need to set up a price list for each Currency you use. The Pricing Engine will only
te r
consider price lists that share the same currency as the Pricing Request. Therefore a sales order
placed in Yen will have to utilize a Yen based price list.
I n
There is a Round to field in Price List window. This field controls the rounding factor.
le
Entering a positive number affects positions to the left of the decimal. Entering a negative
number affects positions to the right of the decimal. Example –2 would round to the second
c
r a
decimal point. The type of currency – standard or extended – which has to be defaulted on the
price list is determined by the Profile Option: QP: UNIT_PRICE_PRECISION_TYPE.
O
Secondary Price Lists
As with other areas of pricing, the Basic Pricing license controls available functionality to the
user. Basic Pricing allows one Secondary price list. A secondary price list allows the pricing
Basic Pricing
engine to look at more that one price list to determine the value of the sales order line. The
Pricing engine will look to the Secondary Price list if the requesting item and unit of measure is
not on the Primary Price list. A secondary price list is a price list you have defined previously.
Any price list has the ability to be used as a secondary price list.
Price Lists and Sales Order Defaults
Fields such as Payment Terms, Freight Terms, and Freight Carrier are available on the Price
List form. By defining the Order Management defaulting rules to use these fields from the
Price List window, you are able to default values directly into the sales order based upon which
price list has been selected for the order. For more information on Defaulting Rules, see the
Order Management User’s Guide.
Note: Price Lists cannot be deleted, however a price list is made valid or invalid with the use of
its effective dates. Alternatively, selecting or deselecting the Active box also temporarily or
permanently makes the price list available or unavailable for use.

The Product Attribute enables you to enter one price per Item number, one price per Item
&
Category, or one price for All Items. If you have entered all three prices on a Price List, the

Item Category’s over All Items.
n a
Pricing Engine will always select the Item Number’s price over the Item Category’s and the
te r
The List line UOM is a required element of the validation process. The Pricing request is for an
Item/UOM and only price lists that have the same item and unit of measure will be considered.
I n
If you have the Primary UOM checked and you enter an item/unit of measure combination on
le
a sales order that is not on a Price list, the Pricing engine converts the unit of measure on the
order to the item’s primary UOM and then uses the UOM conversions to calculate the unit
c
price.
r a
Example: Price List setup: BB-2200, $6.00 each, Primary UOM is selected. Sales Order
O
request: BB-2200 1 dozen. Result: 12*6.00 = $72.00 unit price.
You can use the Precedence column to specify a number. This number is taken into
consideration when comparing lines that are similar (i.e. the same price for the same item). A
Basic Pricing
price list line with a lower value in the Precedence column will have a higher precedence – the
price from the line will be used by the pricing engine first to price the line.
You can select product, pricing and qualifier contexts in the price list and choose the
corresponding attributes that you want to determine the pricing action. The product context
contains only one context type – Item. The pricing context contains all the pricing attributes
that have been created and linked through the Attribute Management windows. The qualifier
context allows you to link your customer hierarchy to the pricing action and ensure that the
customer attributes also play a part in determining pricing of the item.

You can enter an absolute value that represents the unit price of your List line item. For service
program items you have a choice of pricing methods. You can enter an absolute value that
O
represents the unit price of your service program or you can enter a percentage value that
l &
represents the percentage of another item’s price. When you are selling a service program on a
sales order you are prompted for the item that the service program will cover. The Pricing
a
Engine finds the price of the covered item and calculates the price of the service program by
n
te r
multiplying the percent times the item’s unit price. It then takes that amount times the duration
of the coverage. Example of percent of other price:
Price List setup:
I n
• Service Program’s item number is set up at 10% per year.
le
• Sales Order request: Customer purchases 1 year’s worth of coverage for an Item which
c
sells for 1200.00.
r a
• The Pricing Engine calculates .10 * 1200 * 1 (year) = 120.00.
O
Formulas can be used to if you need an algebraic expression to calculate the selling price.
Basic pricing supports entering a formula name in the Static Formula field. Static Formulas
Basic Pricing
require that a concurrent program, Update Formula package, be run to populate the List Price
value prior to being used by the Pricing Engine.
The Price list supports both positive and negative values. This enables you to create an item
which represent a re-stocking fee. Enter this item on your price list with a negative value, then
enter this item on your Return order. When the Pricing Engine calculates the total value of the
return it will subtract the re-stocking fee thus lowering the value of the credit memo.
Start and End dates are respected by the Pricing Engine.

Copying a Price List enables you to create a new price list without adding lines manually to the

which line items will be copied during the process.
One option is to include the copying of discounts (modifiers) when copying an existing price

list. This option will create new modifiers for each existing modifier that has the original price
list as either a Modifier List Qualifier or a Modifier Line Qualifier. The new modifier’s name
I n

will have a Modifier List Qualifier.

When creating the new price list you can specify any applicable effective dates. As the Pricing

Agreements Overview
U s
You can set up two kinds of Agreements, Standard or Pricing:
A I
• A Standard Agreement could have special Freight or Payment terms. You can associate
O
an existing Price List to a Standard Agreement. Optionally, you can create Discounts that
&
are qualified by the Agreement Name or Agreement Type.
l
n a
• A Pricing Agreement allows you to create a Price List as part of the Agreement setup.
The Agreement Price List has fields that are not on a regular Price List. These fields
te r
allow you to optionally enter Customer Item Numbers that have been created in
Inventory and cross referenced to an Internal Item Number.
I n
Agreements can be Generic or Customer Specific. If it is Generic then all customers are
eligible to use it. If it is Customer Specific then only the Customer Name entered on the
le
Agreement will be eligible.
c
r a
The Agreement Type has many functions. It can be used as a Qualifier for a Discount
(Modifier). It can be used by the Order Transaction Type to restrict a group of orders to only
O
allow Agreements of a specified Type. It can be used to group similar agreements for reporting
purposes.
Basic Pricing
Besides restricting which Agreements a sales order can use, the Order Transaction Type can
also specify whether an Agreement is required to book a Sales Order.
Many of the fields entered on your Agreements can be used to default the appropriate data on
to a new sales order/line. Your agreement can default Customer PO, Freight Terms, Freight
carrier, payment terms, Salesperson, Invoicing Rules, and Accounting Rules.
By using the Revision number, Revision Date, and Revision Reason you can maintain a history
of all the changes to your Agreements.
Note: You can enter an agreement number of your choice, which you can then use to reference
a legal document given to your customer.

Basic Pricing Formula
U s
(N) Pricing > Pricing Formulas > Formulas Setup A I
When using the basic pricing formula: O
l &
• The formula is an arithmetic expression made up of step numbers. Each step number is
n a
entered in the Formula Lines region. You can repeat step numbers in the formula.
Example: 1 * 2 + 3 – 1. Thus step 1 (or line 1) contains a numeric constant and step 2
te r
contains a pricing attribute. The numeric constant will be multiplied by the pricing
attribute as the formula step numbers indicate that 1*2.
I n
• The Name is a unique identifier.
c le
• The Pricing Engine uses the Effective dates.
• Use the Formula field to enter your formula expression. Each numeric value entered must
r a
be defined using a Formula Type on the Formula Line tab. You can use mathematical
operators, numeric operands, and built-in functions to create your formula.
O
• The formula type Numeric Constant can be any numeric value. It can be a whole number
or a decimal number (1 or .1).
Basic Pricing
Pricing Attributes
n l y
e O
Pricing Attributes
U s
A I
Pricing attributes are characteristics of products and services that you can specify when the
characteristics help to determine the price of a product or service. Distance, age or usage,
O
number of users, and level of service are examples of pricing attributes.
l &
You can specify one or a combination of pricing attributes and assign them to a product or
service. The absolute value of a pricing attribute (such as thickness or height) of an item can be
used as a Step in the formula.
n a
Example:
te r
This formula uses a Constant Value and a Pricing attribute to calculate an item’s unit price.
I n
You sell glass plates that can vary in thickness. You want the price to vary depending on the
c le
thickness. Create a formula 1* 2 to calculate the price of a glass item.
• Step 1 is a pricing attribute for thickness.
r a
• Step 2 is a numeric constant that represents the base value for the item.
Calculation: If 100 is the base price of the glass item and 0.3 is the value of the thickness
O
attribute of the glass then the pricing engine evaluates the formula as 0.3*100 which is 30.
Basic Pricing
Factor List
n l y
e O
Factor List Formula Type
U s
A I
Use Factor Lists to associate values and factors with a Pricing Attribute. The Pricing engine
compares the values entered on a sales order to the values in the Factor List to select the
correct factor to use.

le
The Formula’s Pricing Context must match the Pricing Context on the Price List Line that the
c
formula is being attached to.
r a
You can utilize the OR logic in the conditions that you define your factor list. Each value that a
Pricing Attribute can have is entered as a Base Price Attribute line. Example of OR logic:
O
• Base Price Attribute Thickness = Value: 0.1 mm Factor: 1
Basic Pricing
• The pricing engine will retrieve a Factor if the customer orders a thickness of 0.1 mm
OR .2 mm.
You can utilize the AND logic if you link an Associated Pricing Attribute line to the Base Price
Attribute line. Example of AND logic:
• Associate Pricing Attribute Length = Value: 0.5 mm.
The pricing engine will use the Factor 7 if the customer orders a thickness of 0.1 mm AND a
length of 0.5 mm.
You can assign a single value to the Pricing Attribute or a range of values by using the
Operator field. The Operator = (equal) is a single value. The Operator BETWEEN allows you a
range of values.
You can also use multiple values within factor lists. Example of multiple values:
• Base Price Attribute Thickness BETWEEN Value: 0.1 and .3 mm Factor: 3
• Base Price Attribute Thickness BETWEEN Value: 0.4 and .6 mm Factor: 6
• The Pricing Engine will use the Factor 6 if the customer orders a thickness of 0.5mm.

Adjustments in the Sales Orders window to apply manual modifiers.
• To avoid changing the Selling Price calculated by the Pricing engine, leave the Override
check box unchecked.
• Some businesses have such a flexible selling price that they need the ability to overwrite
the calculated price with a new price. To do this, create a modifier line which has
Automatic unchecked and Override checked.
• Optionally, restrict the modifier to a specific Item number or item category by using the
Product Attribute.
If the Pricing Engine finds multiple discounts that are qualified to be applied, it always applies
the modifier which will give the lowest price to the customer based on best price or
precedence.

Overview of Attribute Management
n l y
e O
U s
A I
An attribute is a characteristic of an item which governs its price. The attributes of an item and
its values need to be passed to the Pricing Engine so that the Pricing Engine can evaluate the
O
attribute and then based on the value of the attribute, choose the appropriate price list and
l &
modifier(s) for pricing the item. Attribute Management enables you to organize the attributes,
group them in contexts, define calling applications and source applications for the attributes.
a
An attribute gets its value from a function, a constant value, a multi-record API, system
n
te r
variable or profile. This value comes from a source application or source system and is read by
the pricing engine, which determines if this is the attribute/value that the requesting application
I n
has called for. If it is the correct attribute/value, then the pricing engine looks up the price list
and modifiers to apply and calculates the unit selling price.
c le
r a
O
Basic Pricing
n l y
e O
U s
Some common Attribute Management terms include:
A I
• Contexts - Contexts are groupings of attributes that are related. There are three contexts
O
available in Basic Pricing – Pricing Context, Product Context, and Qualifier Context.
&
• Attributes – The specific values or characteristics that you use to define pricing rules. For
l
n a
example, height and weight are attributes that will determine the price of the item.
Attribute values can be defined at the order level, line level, or both.
te r
• Mapping data for an attribute – There are different ways the data can be mapped:
- User Entered: The attribute value is entered by the user; this is the only sourcing
I n
feature that is supported in Basic Pricing.
Pricing:
c le
• Other mapping methods for sourcing attribute data are available only in Advanced

• Pricing Transaction Entity (PTEs) – An entity that supports a many to many relationship
between source systems and request types. The seeded PTEs are Order Fulfillment,
Demand Planning, Intercompany Transaction, Logistics, Complex MRO, and
Procurement.
• Source System – The application that has the pricing data like price lists, modifiers, as
well as setup information. Examples of source systems are Oracle Marketing, Oracle
Order Capture, Oracle Purchasing, etc.
• Request Type – The request made by an application for pricing data. Some applications
may even share request types, for example, iStore and Order Capture.
Note: In Basic Pricing, the Pricing Transaction Entity – Source System and Request Types
window is view-only: you can view the request types and source system for a given Pricing

Setup Steps – Creating Contexts and Attributes

The following seeded context types are available in Basic Pricing:
A I
Product contexts and attributes define the product hierarchy and are related to product
O
information. For example, the product context "Item" may consist of attributes such as Item
Number, Item Category, and All Items.
l &
n a
Pricing contexts and attributes define eligibility for a price list line or modifier. Pricing
contexts and attributes can be used for a price list line, as a formula component, or in
modifiers.
te r
Qualifier contexts and attributes define what can be used to create qualifiers that determine
I n
eligibility for a modifier (who is eligible to receive the modifier).
c le
Contexts cannot be deleted if they have more than one attribute attached.
To create a new context, use the Oracle Pricing Manager responsibility:
r a
(N) Setup > Attribute Management > Context and Attributes
The Context Setup window enables you to choose the context type – Pricing, Product, or
O
Qualifier. Enter a code for the context and enable it. In the same window, you may enter the
appropriate attributes for the context in the Attributes region. Enter a code for the attribute; you

Shipping Execution Flow
U s
A I
After a sales order has been booked, the sales order lines must complete all workflow activities
leading up to the shipping activity. Two typical preceding workflow activities are Schedule –
Line and Create Supply.
O
Schedule – Line:
l &
n
also sets the Shipment Schedule Date. a
Scheduling the line makes the order line’s demand visible to Oracle Inventory for planning. It
Create Supply:
te r
Variety of subflow paths can be taken within Create Supply Line based on the type of item
I n
shipped. They are as follows:
c l e
• Configurable Items: Configurable items must complete the Create Supply activity
which takes an order line through a build cycle. The final assemblies that are completed
r a
out of Oracle Work in Process are received into Oracle Inventory as Reserved for a
specific customer’s order.
O
• Drop ship: Drop ship order lines must complete the Create Supply activity too. After a
Purchase Requisition has been passed to Oracle Purchasing the order line advances to the
Shipping Activity.

Chapter 12 - Page 5
• Standard Shippable Items: Standard shippable items don’t need to perform any of the
Create Supply activities so directly advance to the Shipping activity.
Shipping:
What happens when the order line reaches ‘Ship Line’ workflow activity?
• Oracle Order Management calls Oracle Shipping Execution APIs to indicate that a line is
Ready to Release.
• The sales order line status is changed to Awaiting Shipping. Order lines that are awaiting
shipping are called Delivery Lines in the Oracle Shipping Execution module
• Pick Release process creates move orders to move items to the staging location and create
reservation in Oracle Inventory
• From the staging area shipments are weighed, packed and shipped
• Deliveries are Ship Confirmed out of the staging location
• When a delivery is Ship Confirmed, Oracle Shipping Execution calls OM APIs to
communicate the event, triggering the line flow to move forward

Trip
A I
• A trip is carrier specific and represent a unique instance of that carrier leaving your
warehouse with deliveries. O
&
• The carrier could be a public carrier such as DHL or could be a company’s own fleet of
l
trucks.
n a
• A trip could represent a truck, air cargo, ship cargo, or railcar. These entities would be set
te r
up as items in Oracle Inventory with an item type of Vehicle.
• Each trip has a minimum of two stops, pick-up and drop-off.
I n
• A trip can be created automatically or manually from the Shipping Transactions form or
c l e
can be automatically created from the Ship Confirm window. You can also create a trip
as a part of a concurrent process.
r a
• Companies that use public carriers can enable the system to automatically create Trips as
part of of the Ship Confirm process. This eliminates unnecessary transactions.
O
Stops
• A stop is a point along the route of a trip that is due for pick-up or drop-off.

Chapter 12 - Page 7
• The Ship Confirm process can initiate closing the pick-up stop updating the delivery
status to Intransit.
• Manually record all stops made by the Trip using the Shipping Transactions form or
have the Ship Confirm process automatically close a Trip, which creates and closes the
pick-up stop and drop-off stop and changes the Delivery status to Closed.
• Companies that use public carries let the system automatically close a Trip as part of Ship
Confirm.
Delivery leg
• A delivery leg consists of two stops where the delivery is picked up and dropped off,
respectively on the same trip. The delivery might travel through several legs to get to its
final destination and is synonymous to the Bill of Lading.
• A bill of lading is a receipt, listing all the goods that were signed over to a carrier.
• The Ship Confirm window enables you to generate a bill of lading which can then be
printed separately or as part of the Delivery Document Set.
Deliveries
• A delivery must be created to perform Ship Confirm. It represent all the goods that were
shipped from the same warehouse, going to the same Customer location.
• The grouping of delivery lines into deliveries is restricted by the grouping rules that are
established on the Shipping Parameters - Delivery Tab.
• A delivery can be created automatically or manually from the Shipping Transactions
form at any time after the order line status has become Awaiting Shipment or can be
automatically created during the Release Sales Order process.
• A delivery is also automatically created when you invoke the action Pick and Ship or
n l y
Pick, Pack, and Ship.
Delivery Lines
e O
U s
• Delivery lines are sales order lines which have completed all their workflow activities
that are prerequisites to Oracle Shipping Execution such as Schedule – Line or Create
Supply.
A I
• Delivery lines are visible from the Shipping Transactions form. They are also visible
O
from the sales order line’s Additional Information – Deliveries tab.
deliveries based on grouping rules.

l &
• Delivery lines with similar attributes can be systematically grouped together into
LPNs
n a
te r
• LPN, (License Plate Number) are also known as Containers. An LPN can be loaded
inside of another container, for example, pack an item into a box and then pack that box
onto a pallet.
I n
• Optionally LPNs can be setup as inventory items if the shipper is interested in using
l e
weight and Volume and packing functionality.
c
r
Ship From a
• LPNs can be made mandatory using your Shipping Parameters.
O
• The ship-from location represents the warehouse that is performing the shipping
transaction. A warehouse is an Inventory organization.

Pick Release Concepts
U s
Release Rules
A I
• Release rules define the criteria to be used during Pick Release. Only orders that meet the
O
criteria and are eligible will be released. An order line is eligible if it has completed the
&
prerequisite workflow activities, such as Schedule - Line or Create Supply.
l
Release Sequence Rules
n a
• Release Sequence rules determines the order in which inventory is allocated to sales
te r
orders. You choose to allocate by order, outstanding Invoice value, Scheduled Date,
Departure Date and Shipment Priority.
I n
• The order in which sales orders are filled could be very important. If a company has a
l e
problem of running out of material before all of their orders have been filled it is very
important that they have filled their most important orders first.
c
r a
Picking Rules
• Picking rules, which are created and maintained in Oracle Inventory, suggest which
O material to use, based on inventory controls such as revision control, lot control, FIFO
(first in first out) or subinventory/locator picking numbers.

• Picking rule is an Item Attribute. Create a variety of picking rules and associate them
with the appropriate items. If there isn’t a Picking Rule associated with the item, the
system will use the organization’s default picking rule which is found on the Shipping
organization’s Parameters.
• Note: Picking Rules are covered in Oracle Inventory. To learn more see Oracle
Inventory’s users guide.
Pick Slip Grouping Rules
• Pick Slip Grouping Rules organize how released order lines are grouped on Pick Slips for
ease of picking. For Example: By using the Pick Slip Grouping Rule as Subinventory, the
user can reduce the number of trips to a particular subinventory by grouping all lines for
that subinventory on to one Pick Slip.

Pick Release Process Flow
n l y
e O
Pick Release Process
U s
What Happens during Pick Release:
A I
• A pre-approved move order is automatically created in Oracle Inventory.
O
• A move order is a request for a subinventory transfer from the source (stocking)
&
subinventory to the destination (staging) subinventory.
l
n a
• A move order is created for every sales order line that has the status of Awaiting
Shipping and passes the picking criteria (Use your Release Rules to guide this process).
te r
• The destination subinventory is the staging subinventory entered on the Release Sales
Orders form or defaulted from the Shipping Parameters. Only one staging subinventory is
I n
allowed per picking batch.
c l e
• Note: A picking batch is the total number of order lines that were released at one time.
• Oracle Inventory uses the move order to manage material requisitions within an
r a
organization.
Allocate Inventory to the move order
O

• Allocating can be done automatically after the move order is created by setting Auto
Allocate to yes on the Release Sales Order form or postponed until later, then manually
allocated from the Transaction move orders form.
• The Release Sequence Rule, that was entered on the Release Sales Orders form, or
defaulted from the Shipping Parameters, will be used to determine in what sequence to
fill the move orders.
• Move orders use inventory’s picking rules to suggest the material that should be
allocated. The sourcing values for subinventory, locators, revisions, and lots are defaulted
on to the move order.
• Serial numbers can be allocated if the profile option: INV: Detail Serials = Yes. If it is set
to No serial numbers can be entered before Pick Confirm from the move orders form or
after Pick Confirm from the Shipping Transactions form if the inventory item is pre-
defined for serial numbers at Sales Order Issue.
• The source defaults can be manually updated from the Transaction move orders form.
• A high level reservation is placed for the move order’s material requirements.
• Allocating inventory is a prerequisite for printing pick slips. The Pick Slip Grouping Rule
entered on the Release Sales Orders form or defaulted from the Shipping Parameters is
used while printing pick slips.
Pick Confirm the move order
• Pick Confirm can be done automatically during the picking process by setting Pick
Confirm to yes on the Release Sales Orders form or by unchecking the Pick Confirm
Required checkbox in the Organization Parameters form. If it is not done automatically
during Pick Release it can be done manually from the Transaction move orders form by
selecting the Transact button.
n l y
e O
• The Pick Confirm transaction executes the subinventory transfer, moving the material
from it’s source location to it’s destination staging location. Only 1 staging subinventory
is supported per picking batch.
• The high level reservations are replaced with detail reservations.
U s
A I
• Note: A high level reservation puts a reservation on a given quantity. For example if the
sales order line needs ten 12” Monitors and you have 15 on hand, the reservation will
O
guarantee that 10 of them will be available for this order but it doesn’t specify which 10.
number.
l &
Detail reservations puts a reservation on specific subinventory, locator, revision, and lot
n a
• If you transact less than the requested quantity, the move order will stay open until the
te r
total quantity is transacted, or the order is closed or cancelled.
• The status of the sales order line, which is linked to the move order, is changed to Picked
I n
making it eligible for ship confirm.
l e
• If not all of the move order quantity was transacted the status of the sales order line, is
changed to Picked Partial. During Ship Confirm the order line will split into 2 shipment
c
r a
schedules (e.g. 1.1 and 1.2). The status of the unfilled line will be changed to Awaiting
Shipping.
O
• If there is a shortage of material a shortage messages alerts the appropriate individual.

• If an organization’s actual picks rarely deviate from the suggested material, it is
suggested that you run your picking process with Auto Allocate and Auto Pick Confirm
set to Yes to cut down on the overhead which is required to transact manually.
Auto Create Deliveries - Optional
• A delivery is required in order to ship confirm. You can select auto create delivery to
have the picking process automatically group your delivery lines into deliveries to
expedite this process.
Delivery Consolidation
• Delivery consolidation enables you to join a new delivery line, or a line released from
backorder, to an existing delivery. You can also group deliveries with similar attributes
into trips. Rather then creating a new delivery when Autocreate Delivery is executed,
through batch or Pick Release, delivery consolidation functionality systematically assigns
delivery lines to qualified existing deliveries.

Ship Confirm Process Flow
U s
What happens during Ship Confirm:
The results of the picking process are recorded against a delivery. A I
O
• Ship Confirm can only be performed on deliveries or trips with delivery lines that have
been Pick Confirmed.
l &
n a
• Ship Confirming a delivery or a trip records the results of the shipping process. These
results could be shipped, backordered, staged or cycle count or a combination of all 4.
te r
• The workflow activity will be completed when the quantity picked is recorded as
Shipped.
I n
• If the ordered item is set up with the item attribute Shippable checked then Ship
c l e
Confirming is a prerequisite for invoicing.
• The sales order Action, Additional Line Information provides a complete history of the
r a
line’s shipping process from Ready to Release through Interfaced.
Over/Under Tolerances
O

• The Ship Confirm process checks the over/under tolerance associated with the customer,
the item, as well as the corporate policies set up using profile options. OM: Under
Shipment Tolerance, OM: Over Shipment Tolerance.
• At Ship Confirm, you can confirm a quantity greater than the quantity on the line if it is
within the over-shipment tolerance. If it is greater than the over shipment tolerance, a
warning will be given. The actual quantity shipped is recorded on the line. The point of
using over-ship tolerances is to allow a greater quantity to be shipped without having to
add another line to the Sales Order.
• The under-shipment tolerance works a little different - at Ship Confirm, you can confirm
a quantity less than the quantity on the line - but if the quantity shipped is within the
under-shipment tolerance, then the line will be closed after the shipment is processed. If
the quantity shipped is outside the tolerance, the line will split into 2 lines - the one line
representing the quantity shipped and the other containing the difference. The point of
using under-ship tolerance is to save the user from having to cancel any remaining little
bits of a line, if there is no intention or need to ship it.
• Invoicing of over shipments will be controlled by the profile option, OM: over shipments
Invoice Basis - which will control whether to invoice for the quantity shipped or quantity
ordered. Under shipments are always invoiced at quantity shipped.
Shipped Quantities
• After the delivery is closed the order line is updated with the shipped quantities and the
status of the sales order line is changed to Shipped. This enables the order line to proceed
to its next workflow activity.
• The Ship Confirm transaction initiates the Oracle Inventory Interface to generate the
Issue of Stores transactions which will decrement Oracle Inventory and remove the
n l y
with shipped quantities, freight charges, etc.
e O
material reservation. Then the OM interfaces is initiated to update the sales order line
U s
• The cost of goods sold account number that is passed to Oracle Inventory is workflow
generated. In Oracle Inventory it creates a Material Distribution record that is ultimately
passed to the general ledger.
A I
• If Ship Confirm is partial the remaining quantity can be either staged or backordered.
Backordered Quantities
O
returned to their source location.
l &
• Backordered quantities are left in the staging subinventory. They are not automatically
a
• A new Pick Release will be required before they can be Ship Confirmed.
n
te r
• The backordered quantity is removed from the delivery being Ship Confirmed.and the
reservation is removed making the quantity available to ATP.
I n
• The sales order line splits into shipment schedules. One schedule will have the quantity
that was shipped and a status of Shipped. The other schedule will have the quantity that
l e
was backordered and a status of Awaiting Shipment. Example of resulting split.

1.2 BB-2202 2 Awaiting Shipment
Staged Quantities
• Staged quantities are left in the staging subinventory and can be Ship Confirmed at a later
time. The staged quantity is removed from the delivery being confirmed and optionally
linked to a new delivery number.
• The sales order line splits into shipment schedules. One schedule will have the quantity
that was shipped and a status of Shipped. The other schedule will have the quantity that
remained staged with a status of Picked.
• Example of an automatic split performed by the shipping process.
Original sales order line:
Line Item Ordered Shipped Status
1.1 BB-2002 10 Picked
After Ship Confirm (8 shipped 2 staged)
1.1 BB-2202 8 8 Shipped
1.2 BB-2202 2 Picked
Cycle Count
Cycle counting is the periodic counting of individual items throughout the course of the year to
ensure the accuracy of inventory quantities and values.
• Without cycle count the backordered quantity’s reservation is automatically removed
during the Ship Confirm process. This sometimes is not appropriate since it frees up the
n y
inventory to be reserved by another delivery line. By using the cycle count functionality
l
you have the option to transfer the reservation on a Pick Released item to cycle count and
simultaneously backorder the delivery line quantities which helps keep available
inventory accurate.
e O
• This would be used if unexpected situations occur while staging orders such as, an item is
damaged or physical inventory is out of balance with the system inventory. By
U s
transferring the reservation to cycle count, future reservations cannot be placed against
that quantity.
A I
• If you select Cycle Count all the entire reserved quantity for a delivery is transferred to
O
Cycle Count and the delivery line status is changed to backordered.
l &
• If only specific quantities should be transferred to cycle count you must first enter a
shipped quantity on the delivery line’s detail form. Then from the Ship Confirm form
a
select Ship Entered Quantities and in the Unspecified Quantities LOV select Cycle
n
te r
Count. The result is that only the shipped quantities are confirmed and the balance of the
delivery lines will be backordered and the reservations for that quantity will transfer to
I n
Cycle Count. Example of resulting split.

- Trip tab: Displays all trip information specific to the exception.

- Delivery tab: Displays all delivery information specific to the exception.
- Container tab: Displays all container (or LPN) information specific to the
exception.
- Inventory tab: Displays all inventory information specific to the exception.
Logging New Shipping Exceptions
During the shipping and transportation of goods, situations can arise that conflict with the
requirements of the shipper, transportation carrier or customer. These situations are known as
exceptions and can occur during a business process such as transporting a shipment.
Exceptions can be logged by different (logging) entities (such as a transportation carrier) for a
variety of business reasons. For example, invalid packing or changing a planned delivery.
Some exceptions use workflows to automate certain process such as exception notification and
handling. Other exceptions need to be logged manually because either the exception does not
occur during the workflow process or requires manual logging.
Example: In a situation where the transportation carrier does not deliver goods to the customer
in time, you can log a manual exception. This exception has the following properties:
• Process: Transport Shipment
• Logging Entity: Customer, Transportation Carrier
• Exception: The transportation carrier does not deliver goods to the customer in time
• Handling: The exception should be logged and customer may be given discount for their
inconvenience. Transportation carrier may be charged for the delay.
There are two ways of logging exceptions. You can either
l
• Select an existing exception name as a template to which you can add specific shipping
entity details.
n y
e O
• Log a new exception without selecting an exception name. This is useful if you want to
create a new exception not based on the default values of an existing exception name.
Purging Logged Shipped Exceptions
U s
To help maintain your shipping exception records and conserve computer storage space, you
A I
may want to purge (delete) logged shipping exception records that are no longer required. For
example, you may want to purge shipping exception records that are five months and older.
O
You also may want to mass change the status of (resolve) shipping exceptions. You must use

the Resolve/Purge Exceptions Parameters window to resolve and purge shipping exceptions.
You cannot select, resolve, and purge shipping exception records from the View Exceptions
window.

Holds
• All user defined holds must be removed from the order or order line before picking.

• Credit check holds that are placed on an order at booking may automatically be removed
by the picking process if the customer’s AR balance has been decreased or their credit
limits have been increased.
• The picking process could apply a credit check hold if the order’s Transaction Type has a
value in the Credit Check Rule – Shipping field.
• If a credit hold is manually removed before Pick Release the system will not perform a
credit check, even if the Order Transaction Type has a value in the Credit Check Rule –

Methods to Pick Release
U s
Online
A I
• When the Release Sales Orders is submitted from the user interface, as Online, it releases
O
one order immediately, eliminating waiting for the order to process through the
concurrent manager queue.
l &
n a
• Only one sales order at a time is allowed.
• A Release Rule and document set is required.
Concurrent
te r
I n
• When the process is submitted through the user interface, as Concurrent, it runs Pick
Release in the background, allowing you to run other processes simultaneously.
l e
Standard Report Submission (SRS)
c
• When a Standard Report Submission (SRS) runs Release Sales Orders it runs in the
r a
background on an automatic, scheduled basis. Using SRS and your Release Rules, you
can run a specific release at the same time every day, or several times every day.
O
Note: The Shipping Transaction’s Tools menu provides a link to the Release Sales Order form
to allow picking either Online or Concurrent.

One Step Shipping Scenario:
The one step process would be for an organization who's shipment profile is one where the
order lines do not require a lot of change. Typically the majority of what is picked is shipped in

full and the process requires minimal manual intervention. This type of process is also
appropriate for shipment profiles that are simple and repetitive. High volume non MSCA non
WMS would probably use a one step process.
Two Step Process
Auto Allocate is set to Yes and Auto Pick Confirm is set to No.
• When the request is submitted move orders are created.
• Oracle Inventory is allocated and the move order is detailed with source information.
• Pick Slips are printed.
• The order line status is still Awaiting Shipping.
Manually Pick Confirm from the Transact move orders form to complete the picking process.
Two Step Shipping Scenario:
The two step process allows some automation by having the system allocate the material but
gives the material handler more control by allowing changes to be made at the Pick
Confirmation step. The two step process is typically used by organizations that use mobile
scanning devices where the material handler scans material as its being picked. Probably not
used by organizations who pick and ship from the desktop due to the number of transactions
necessary to process the shipment via the forms.
Three Step Process
Auto Allocate is set to No and Auto Pick Confirm is set to No.
• When the request is submitted move orders are created.
• The move order has not been detailed.
• Pick Slips cannot be printed.

• The sales order line status is still Awaiting Shipping.

• Manually Pick Confirm from the Transaction Move Orders form.
Three Step Business Scenario:

A I
The three step process would be for organizations that have full RF Mobile device capabilities.
The number of transactions required to process a shipment requiring all three steps would be

unreasonable using the desktop but it could be done. It also has the most control and the most
flexibility in the picking process.

Ship Confirm
U s
A I
Ship Confirm is the last step in the shipping process. Order lines that have been Ship
Confirmed and have a status of Shipped will be allowed to continue through the workflow to
O
the Invoicing activity. Ship Confirm can be done through the following:
l &
• Auto Ship Confirm: Auto Ship Confirm enables you to automatically Ship Confirm all
deliveries that have all delivery lines at status of staged. Auto Ship Confirm can be
a
executed as a concurrent program (set to run at specific intervals) or it can be launched
n
te r
manually. Each method of executing Auto Ship Confirm has its advantages. You can
utilize either or both processes depending on your business needs. This is the least
I n
common way to Ship Confirm.
- Concurrent Submission: If Auto Ship Confirm is executed as a concurrent job,
l e
you will not have to manually Ship Confirm each delivery. If configured to do so,
c
this method can also create a trip if one isn’t already associated with the delivery. It
r ais designed to support delivery selection based on range of parameters. Because the
concurrent request is typically run at frequent intervals, there is little opportunity for
O backordering lines prior to Ship Confirm.

- Manual submission: Manually submitting Auto Ship Confirm enables you to
control when each Ship Confirm process will be executed by invoking the process
manually.
• Manual Ship Confirm: When you click Ship Confirm from the Quick Ship window, the
Confirm Delivery window will display by default. The options in the Confirm Delivery
window provide flexibility for automating many tasks associated with process deliveries
with many delivery lines. For example, when the Ship Entered Quantity and Unspecified
Quantities Ship option is selected at Ship Confirm, the shipped amounts are automatically
processed so that each delivery line with a missing shipped quantity value is recorded as
fully shipped. This saves you from manually entering each item as fully shipped.
Note: During Ship Confirm, you can also automatically create a trip and related stops for a
deliver that has been assigned to a trip.
Prerequisites:
To Ship Confirm the following is prerequisite:
• Delivery lines must be in Staged/Pick Confirmed status
• Delivery must be open
• At least one delivery line must be assigned to the delivery

Working with Deliveries and Delivery Lines

e O
Working with Deliveries and Delivery Lines
U s
You can perform the following actions with Delivery and Delivery Lines:
Splitting Delivery Lines A I
O
You can use the Split Delivery Line window to split shipments for certain customer
&
requirements. For example, an original shipment may need to be split if your customer wants a
l
n a
part of the ordered quantity delivered on a different date or to a different location. In another
example, if a stock picker finds only a partial quantity when picking inventory to fill a given
te r
order line, the delivery lines could be split so that the partially processed quantity can progress
further through the Order process.
I n
Transferring Delivery Lines to Cycle Counting
l e
You can use the Transfer to Cycle Count window to transfer delivery lines to cycle counting to
manage inventory discrepancies. For example, the inventory discrepancies can be caused by
c
r a
miscounting or defect in the item.
For example, you are processing a staged delivery line with quantity 10. If you use the transfer
O
cycle count functionality with this delivery line and specify two, the transfer cycle count
functionality:

• Splits the delivery line into two delivery lines, one with quantity eight and one with
quantity two.
• Leaves the delivery line with quantity eight as a staged delivery.
• Back orders the delivery line with quantity two and transfers its reservation to cycle
counting.
Assigning Delivery Lines to a Delivery
You can assign delivery lines to an existing delivery using the Query Manager window.
For delivery lines with intermediate ship-to locations:
• You cannot assign a delivery line with an intermediate ship-to to a delivery that has a line
without an intermediate ship-to.
• You can assign multiple delivery lines with the same intermediate ship-to values to the
same delivery.
• You cannot assign multiple delivery lines with different intermediate ship-to values to the
same delivery.
Auto-creating Delivery for Delivery Lines
You can automatically create deliveries for delivery lines that have been successfully released
for shipment. Lines are grouped onto deliveries based on the grouping attributes specified in
the Shipping Parameters window.
Auto-creating a Trip for Delivery Lines
You can automatically create trips for delivery lines that have not been assigned to an existing
legs for selected delivery lines.

Assigning Freight Costs to Delivery Lines n y
delivery or trip. Auto-creating trips automatically creates a trip, stops, deliveries, and delivery
l
e O
Freight costs are shipment-related costs such as insurance, duty fee, special handling, or
priority service. You can assign freight costs to delivery lines at any time even after Ship
U s
Confirmation. However, costs assigned after Ship Confirmation are not passed as freight costs
to Oracle Order Management; instead, they are stored in the shipping system for future
reference.
A I
Although freight costs can be defined in any currency, only the currency that is defined is
O
displayed. When costs are passed to Oracle Order Management, the currency is converted to
the order header currency.
l &
If you want to pass freight costs entered in the Shipping Transactions window to Oracle Order
a
Management for invoicing, then you have to set up a pricing modifier. Refer to the latest
n
Freight and Special Charges.
te r
version of Oracle Order Management Suite Implementation Guide for more information about
I n
Calculating Weight and Volume for Delivery Lines
You can calculate the weight and volume for selected delivery lines. When a new delivery
l e
detail (line) is created because of change in order line quantity, the system will retrieve the unit
c
weight and volume from the existing delivery details (belonging to same order line) so that all
r a
delivery details belonging to same order line have the same unit weight and volume. When a
O
delivery detail is created for a new order line, the system will retrieve the latest unit weight and
volume from Oracle Inventory Master Item window.
Pick Release Delivery Lines

During Pick Release, delivery lines are released for shipment based on the release and shipping
criteria. In addition to pick releasing by trip, delivery, and container, you can also Pick Release
by delivery lines. If the stop and delivery are not specified, only lines that are not assigned to
the delivery are selected for release. If stop and delivery are specified, all selected lines
meeting the release criteria, whether they are assigned to a delivery or not, are released.
Managing Sales Order Changes
Changes to sales orders affect Oracle Shipping Execution if the order is booked. Since delivery
details exist, they must remain coordinated with the sales order lines. Oracle Shipping
Execution evaluates the delivery details every time there are any of the following sales order
line updates:
• Split
• Change quantity
• Change schedule
• Change schedule date
• Change ship set
• Change delivery group
In general, Oracle Shipping Execution honors sales order line changes as long as their delivery
lines are not:
• Shipped or in a confirmed delivery
• In WMS organizations and require unpacking or unassignment from delivery
The Oracle Order Management Interface process splits reservations for shipped and unshipped
lines and executes first in the Interface Trip Stop process. Therefore, shipments can be
confirmed and order lines passed to Oracle Accounts Receivables independently of the
n l y
shipped.

• Ship Method
Null values for Freight Terms, FOB Code, and Ship Method will be grouped with orders that
do have values.
Autocreate Delivery Criteria: The choices are Within an Order or Across Orders’.
• If Within an Order is chosen, the Autocreate delivery process will create deliveries from
the selected order lines based on the order number and standard delivery grouping
attributes.
• If Across Order is chosen, the Autocreate delivery process will create deliveries from the
selected order lines based on the standard delivery only. This could resulting in grouping
orders across order numbers if all the grouping attributes match, i.e.. Same customer,
same ship to, same carrier.
Appending Limit: The appending limit enables you to indicate the point at which you want to
stop the system from adding lines to a delivery ( the point that ends the ability to merge
deliveries). You must set the Appending Limit to a value other than Do Not Append in order to
use the Append Deliveries option within Release Rules and the Process Deliveries SRS.

Packing into LPNs/Containers
U s
A I
You can pack multiple containers with multiple lines using one of following methods:
Auto-packing: Auto-packing provides a convenient and quick way of automatically packing
O
delivery lines into LPNs. The delivery lines are packed into LPNs based on the container-item
l &
relationship set up in Oracle Shipping Execution or in Oracle Inventory (defined as a customer
item). The container-item relationship defines the container that is used for packing the
a
delivery lines. The weight and volume allowances of the selected container are used to
n
te r
determine the number of required LPNs.
Auto-packing can be done in by selecting either of the following option:
I n
• Auto-pack: Only the detail LPNs are created and packed
l e
• Auto-pack Master: The delivery lines are packed into the detail container, and the detail
containers are packed into the parent/master container in one action
c
r a
Packing Workbench: You can use the Packing Workbench to split the delivery lines between
containers or to pack sequentially one container at a time to its full capacity.
O
Manually Packing Delivery Lines into Containers: You can manually pack containers if you
have delivery lines you want to pack without using the auto-pack method: for example, to
quickly pack delivery lines into a box.

Auto-Pack Deliveries SRS
(N) Shipping > Auto-Pack Deliveries SRS
You use the Auto-Pack Deliveries SRS window to execute the Automated Packing process
concurrently. For example, you can auto pack a set of deliveries at the same time every day
based on the options you set in the Auto-Pack Deliveries SRS window.
Auto-Pack Deliveries SRS window
You must define the Auto Pack Level in the Auto-Pack Deliveries SRS window to define the
level of packing that is required. You can select Auto-pack to pack items into containers. You
can select the Auto-pack Master to pack items into containers, and pack the container into a
master container such as a pallet or export container. You must define the batch prefix to
uniquely identify your SRS, and you also specify the following details in the Auto-Pack
Deliveries SRS window for auto packing:
• Range of delivery name to be packed
• Range of bill of lading to be packed
• Ship from and Ship To Location based on which the deliveries are selected for auto pack
• Pooled Ship To Location based on which of the deliveries are selected for auto pack
• Ship method based on which of the deliveries are selected for auto pack
• Customer name based on which of the deliveries are selected for auto pack
• Intermediate Ship To Location based on which of the deliveries are selected for auto pack
• FOB terms based on which of the deliveries are selected for auto pack
• Range of pick up dates based on which of the deliveries are selected for auto pack
n l y
• Log level based on which of the deliveries are selected for auto pack
e O
• Range of drop off dates based on which of the deliveries are selected for auto pack
U s
Prerequisite: Auto-Pack Deliveries SRS will only autopack items that have a pre-defined
container-item relationship. If Auto-Pack Master option is selected, then you must also have a
pre-defined container-container relationship.

Container Load Details
U s
(N) Shipping > Setup > Container Load Details A I
O
When setting up container-item relationships, you define the maximum quantity of load items
&
(delivery lines) that can be packed into a container. These relationships are used to:
l
n a
• Calculate/estimate the number of containers required for delivery lines in a delivery or
trip. This enables you to use the auto-pack function to auto-pack delivery line items into
te r
new containers. The number of containers required to pack the delivery lines is
automatically calculated based on the container-item relationships.
I n
• Calculate the fill percentage for containers when the Fill Percentage Shipping parameter
c l e
is set to Quantity.
In addition to packing delivery lines in containers, Oracle Shipping Execution features an
r a
Auto-pack Master function that enables you to auto-pack delivery line items into containers,
and then auto-pack these containers into master containers such as pallets or railway boxcars.
O
The innermost container is considered the detail container item, and the pallet or boxcar is the
master (outermost) container. If you want to use the auto-pack master feature, you must set up

a relationship that relates the container (the load item) to a master container such as a pallet
(the container item).

• Auto-creating a trip for containers and lines: You can find the lines and containers
stops.
c l e
you want to ship and auto-create a trip which creates a trip, related deliveries, and trip
r a
Creating Manual Trip
• During transportation planning, you can manually create a trip and later assign delivery
O lines or find the delivery lines and create a trip. For example, for a regular trip scheduled
to depart every Friday, you can manually set up a trip ahead of time and then assign
delivery lines.

• When you manually create a trip, you can manually assign stops, deliveries, and delivery
lines to that trip.
Firming a Trip
After deliveries and delivery lines have been assigned to a trip, you can set the status of the trip
to one of the following:
• Firm Routing: Prevents trips stops from being added, or removed for the selected trip.
• Firm Routing and Contents: Prevents trips stops from being added, or removed for the
selected trip and prevents contents from being added or removed.
Assigning Freight Costs to a Trip
You can assign new freight costs to a specific trip, override the suggested freight costs, or
update existing freight costs. For example, if you wanted to add additional costs to a particular
vehicle that is used in the trip to deliver goods. A freight cost can also be assigned to a
delivery, a stop, a delivery leg, a delivery detail, or a container.
Printing a Document Set for a Trip
You can print a group of shipping documents and other reports in a set. These document sets
can include Pick Release documents, all shipping documents, and pack slip information.
Calculating Weight and Volume for a Trip
The weight and volume is always calculated automatically at Ship Confirm based on values
defined as the physical attributes in the Master Item window in Oracle Inventory. The
automatic calculation of weight and volume includes the fill percentage. Any weight/volume
value manually entered is overwritten when Ship Confirm is initiated. You can manually enter
the weight and volume in each delivery, which will be used at Ship Confirmation.
When the weight, volume, and fill percentage for a trip is calculated, Oracle Shipping

• Enforce Ship Method: You select this check box to enforce that a ship method (carrier)
r a
is entered and recorded for each shipment. This is recommended if your business
practices require a record of the ship method/carrier for each shipment.
O
• Allow Future Ship Date: If you select this check box, you can enter a future date as the
Actual Departure Date while Ship Confirming the delivery. If you do not select this

check box, you cannot enter a future date as the Actual Departure Date while Ship
Confirming the delivery.
• Defer Interface: You select this check box to defer shipping interfaces from initiating
updates to the interface tables. In this case, you must manually run the interface or
schedule the interface to run to update interface tables. For example, if you defer the
Inventory Interface, the inventory tables are not updated until you run the Inventory
Interface in the Shipping Interfaces window. If you do not select this check box the
interfaces are run automatically at Ship Confirmation.
• Consolidate Backordered Lines: You select this checkbox if you want to consolidate
additional delivery lines, that are created as part of the pick, pack, and ship process, into a
single delivery line when backordered. For example, if you split a line with quantity 10
into 5 lines of quantity 2, then during processing, the inventory available equals 4 items.
In this case, three line will be backordered and consolidated into one line with quantity of

• Calculation of Distance and Time:
- Highway Distance Empirical Constant: This is a numeric constant used to adjust
I n
the Euclidean distance to obtain the approximate highway distance between two
c l e
locations. It does not have a UOM.
- Average Highway Speed: This is the user specified average highway speed.
r a
• Number of Units UOM: The value you set here is used by Oracle Transportation Truck
Load (TL) loader to store rates based on the number of pieces or number of pallets.
O
• Pallet Item Type: This value is used by Oracle Transportation Execution to identify
pallets and to rate palletized Truck Load (TL) shipments.

• Do Not Rate Outbound Deliveries with Freight Term: You can select the Freight
Term for which rating should not be done Oracle Transportation Execution.
• Rate Inbound Deliveries with Freight Term: You can select a freight term to rate
inbound deliveries by Oracle Transportation Execution. Auto-rating functionality will
rate deliveries with the specified freight term.
• Rate Drop Ship Deliveries with Freight Term: You can select a freight term to rate
dropshipment deliveries by Oracle Transportation Execution.
• Truck Load Cost Allocation:
- Principal Cost Allocation Basis: This identifies the basis for cost allocation. This
will be used in assigning the costs to deliveries. For example, if a total cost of $100
is to be allocated to 3 deliveries then the cost will be allocated based on the weights
(volumes) of the deliveries.
- Distance Allocation Basis: This identifies the distance calculation method for each
delivery. For example, lets say a delivery has three delivery legs (A-B-C-D). Actual
Distance: Distance traveled by the delivery will be A-B + B-C + C-D.
Direct Route: Distance traveled will be A-D.
- Stop Cost Allocation Basis: This identifies how to allocate stop-off charges. For
example, let a TL trip have 5 stops and let each stop incur $60 as stop-off charges.
Also assume that there is pick-up activity at 3 stops and drop-off activity at 2 stops.
The total stop-off charges, $300, can be evenly distributed among the three pick-up
stops of two drop-off stops (based on the parameter value)

allocate inventory to the order which will be generating the most revenue. Customer’s
Outstanding value is mutually exclusive.
Example of how orders are selected if Customer’s Outstanding Invoice Value is used:
• Sales Order 5000 has a total revenue of 1000 currency units and a Backordered quantity
of 15.
• Sales Order 5200 has a total revenue of 1200 currency units with a Backordered quantity
of 2.
• Since the total invoice value of sales order 5200 is greater it would receive the first
available material.

A I
(N) Order Management > Shipping > Setup > Picking > Define Release Rules Form
O
Release Rules are used during the Pick Release process to define the criteria used to determine
&
which order lines will be released for picking. You can define Release Rules using the
l
following criteria:
n a
• Based on Rule: On the Release Sales Orders form as the Based on Rule. If used in this
submitting the request.

te r
way it acts as a defaulting tool. The values that are defaulted can be over written prior to
I n
• Release Rule Name: On the Release Sales Orders SRS form as the Release Rule Name
l e
to dictate the release criteria which will execute in the background from a concurrent
request. A Release Rule is required to use SRS, standard report submission.
c
r a
Release Rules can be created based on criteria represented in three different tabs. This will
enable you to create rules that can respond to all of your picking needs.
O
Order tab - criteria = order type, order number, customer, item, category, delivery line status,
ship set #, #, scheduled ship dates start within and end within, or from and to, request dates
start within and end within, or from and to.

Note: Enter the current date (today’s date) in the to Date fields so that whenever the rule is
used, the system will automatically reset them to the current date.
Shipping tab - criteria = ship method, ship from, shipment priority, release sequence rule, auto
create delivery, shipment priority, and auto pick confirm.
Inventory Tab - criteria = warehouse, pick slip grouping rule, auto allocate.
Warehouse is a required field. After you enter a warehouse the Shipping Parameters for that
warehouse will be used to default values into the Inventory and Shipping tabs. These values
can be over written, as needed.
Prerequisites
Although the Release Rule is the first setup to be used during the Pick Release process it is not
the first rule you would create. Both the Release Sequence Rules and the Pick Slip Grouping
Rules would be set up first since they are used by the Release Rule.

to apply the charges to the order.
A cut-off point exists for processing charges to a customer invoice. The shipper has the ability

location, region, or zone. In this window, you define the different ship methods that can be
used to ship the items. For each ship method you define the following:
• Instransit Time

For example, you can assign pick slips and pack slips to your warehouse tractor feed printer,
your mailing labels to a tractor feed printer stocked with blank labels, and other documents to a
laser printer in your order entry office. The window consists of a Document and a Printer tab:
the Documents tab displays all the documents assigned to a printer, while the Printers tab

Roles and User Security
U s
(N) Shipping > Setup > Grants and Roles Definitions > Define Roles A I
Define Roles O
l &
Oracle Shipping Execution provides data access controls called roles that control users’ access
n a
to the Actions list and Tools menu in the Shipping Transactions form and the Quick Ship
window. Roles are assigned to users using grants that control access to view or edit specific
shipping data or actions.
te r
For each role, you can select the following data access controls that control edit and view
I n
access to shipping entities such as trips, stops, deliveries, lines/LPNs.
c l e
• Data Access Edit enables you to edit and view the data
• Data Access View enables you to browse the data
r a
• Data Access None prevents you from editing and browsing data and performing actions
O
A role can provide either view-only, edit-only, or a combination of view and edit access
depending on the set up of the role. You can create customized roles by defining the access

controls you want. During the set-up for each role, you can quickly enable or disable actions by
selecting the Disable or Enable Actions button.
After you have defined a role you can assign it to a user through a grant. A grant defines both
the user’s role and related information about the grant including the date, and the
organization(s) to which the grant applies. The system administrator or super-user is
responsible for defining roles and assigning the grants to users.
Grants
(N) Shipping > Setup > Grants & Roles Definitions > Grants
You can grant a user a role in one organization or all organizations for a period of time. The
role is assigned to a user by a grant. The grant is specific to a particular user and defines the
role(s) assigned to the user, the organization where the grant is effective, the start date and
optionally, an end date.
More than one grant can be assigned if the user requires different access controls to more than
one organization. The start and end dates for grants can overlap.
For example, if a user requires full-access privileges to three organizations and view-only
access to a fourth, the user must be assigned four grants—one for each respective organization
(three full-access and one view-only grant). However, if only one grant is assigned, that grant
becomes the default grant for the user.
In addition, the grant has the following requirements:
• A grant may or may not have one inventory organization selected.
• Many grants can be assigned for each role.
• A user can have one or more grants. If the user does not have any grant (expired,
n l y
effective, or future), the default is view-only access to all organizations. If the user has
O
grants, the user's access is controlled by the effective grants. If there are overlapping
grants in the same organization or an intersection of grant date ranges, the union of grant
e
privileges controls the user's access.
• A grant cannot be designated as the default grant.
U s
A I
A role can be assigned to a user that spans all organizations instead of granting a unique grant
per organization. If an organization is not specified, the grant is applicable to all organizations.

Regions and Zones
U s
(N) Shipping > Setup > Regions and Zones > Regions and Zones A I
O
You use the Regions and Zones window to group locations by geographical areas and save the
&
effort of setting up point-to-point transit times. Transit Time refers to the time in business days
l
that it takes to ship between two sites.
You can perform the following:
n a
te r
• Group geographical areas into regions and set transit times for your warehouses to the
regions. For example: Create a region for San Francisco Bay U.S.A and specify that it
I n
consists of the cities San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley. Set up transit time of two
c l e
days from your New York U.S.A. warehouse to the San Francisco Bay U.S.A. region.
• Group regions into zones and set transit times from your warehouses to the zones to
r a
encompass a larger geographic area.
The advantage of planning shipments in terms of regions and zones are as follows:
O
• You enter and maintain in-transit and sourcing rules information between zones rather
than between every ship-from/ship-to address information

• With less in-transit information, Oracle Shipping Execution finds the information that
you need faster
• The in-transit information automatically applies to new customers
• For shipping quotes, you can match your inter-zone shipment requirements to service
provider shipping lanes
Regions Interface
(N) Shipping > Setup > Regions and Zones > Regions Interface
You use the Regions Interface concurrent program of Oracle Shipping Execution to load or
update regions from data in the regions interface table. The regions interface tables are bulk
loaded with data using public APIs. This concurrent program is very useful when large number
of regions have to be loaded or updated in the Oracle Shipping Execution.
In the Regions Interface window you filter the regions you are going to upload based on
country, country code, province/state, city, city code, and postal code. So that you repeat the
process without uploading all of the geographical information each time.

customers, customer sites, suppliers, supplier sites, and internal organizations can ship and
receive. For example, if you are shipping a delivery on Tuesday to arrive at your customer’s
te r
site on Wednesday, Ship Confirm checks the calendars to confirm the following:
• Your warehouse can ship on Tuesday
I n
• Your customer can receive goods on Wednesday
c l e
• Your carrier is able to pick up and drop off the deliveries on those days
Note: A Calendar must be created and defined in the Oracle Bill of Material (BOM)

options available for Oracle Shipping Execution:
• WSH: Debug Enabled: When this option is set to Yes, the debug feature is activated.
te r
• WSH: Debug File Prefix: Naming convention for the Debug file is <Debug File Prefix
Profile>sessionid.dbg if the value of profile is null, naming convention is wsh
I n
<username>_<sessionid>.dbg established, it will be defaulted to dbuser:<dbusername>.
c l e
<sessionid> is database session id.
• WSH: Debug Log Directory: The value entered for this profile option must be specified
r a
as a UTL_FILE parameter value.
• WSH: Debug Module: The Module describes where to find the log message within the
O code. This profile indicates that debug messages from only those modules with names
beginning with the profile value will be logged. The naming convention for Module is:

<application short name>.<directory>.<package>.<routine>.<label> e.g.
wsh.plsql.WSH_WV_ UTILS.convert_uom.
• WSH: Express Pick: When you enable this profile option, the Pick Release process will
skip move order line creation, allocation, and the Pick Confirm process if the following
conditions are met:
- Prior Reservations Only is checked in the Release Sales Order window before
submitting pick release request
- Auto Pick Confirm is set to Yes in the Release Sales Orders window before
submitting pick release request
If the above conditions are met then the lines will not be Staged if:
- Organization to which line belongs is WMS enabled OR
- The sales order line does not have detailed reservation OR
- Line is not part of ship set but is part of Model/Kit (which has Ship Model
Complete set to Yes) and the shipping parameter Enforce Ship Sets and Ship
Models is set to Yes OR
- Reservations are detailed up to the locator level or sub inventory reserved require a
locator
- No Pick slips can be generated for lines processed as part of Express Pick. The
subinventory where reservation was created (before pick release) will be used for
- storage of material and staging. The Staging subinventory and locator entered on
the Release Sales Order window is always ignored.

l
n a
meet your business requirements. This involves two steps:
1. Creating the values for the LOV in the Oracle Shipping Lookups window
te r
2. Creating a LOV and assigning the values from the Lookup window
I n
For example, when you create freight carrier in Oracle Shipping Execution, you can define the
various ship methods in the Oracle Shipping Lookups window and assign the same to a Freight
Carrier.
c l e
The values defined in the Oracle Shipping Lookups window depends on your accessibility
r a
level. They are explained as follows:
• User: You can add or update the lookup values as needed.
O
• Extensible: You can add new lookup values, but seeded values can only be modified or
disabled if your responsibility matches with the LOV.

• System: You can only modify the lookup values meanings and description.
In this window you define the following:
• Code: You define the internal code of the LOV value which will be used for the
customization purpose
• Meaning: You define the the meaning attached to the code
• Description: You define the description of the LOV value
• Effective From and To date: The effective period within which the LOV value is
applicable

Shipping Execution Reports
U s
A I
Oracle Shipping Execution provides you with a variety of flexible and easy-to-use reports to
help you improve productivity and increase control. Text attachments can be used with reports
O
and documents to print shipping application data: for example, unpacking instructions entered
l &
on a delivery line can be printed on the Packing Slip.
You can use the Shipping Reports and Documents window to select the report you want to
a
generate. The Shipping Execution Reports are displayed based on the report parameters you
n
te r
enter. The following are the Shipping Execution Reports:
Backorder Detail Report: Use the Backorder Detail Report to print details about backordered
I n
items for your organization.
Backorder Summary Report: Use the Backorder Summary Report to prints list of all
l e
unshipped orders. The report includes only open orders in an order cycle that includes Pick
c
Release. Multiple items and their backordered summary lines are displayed on the same page.
r a
This report displays order information such as the order type, order numbers, warehouse, last
O
shipped date, monetary amounts ordered, and the number of items outstanding and shipped.
These amounts involve totals for shippable items only because the Backorder Summary Report
does not account for non-shippable items.

Open Deliveries Report: Use the Open Deliveries Report to view deliveries that you have not
recorded as ship-confirmed or shipped. You can also view open deliveries in the Shipping
Transactions form.
You can print the report to use it as:
• A daily list of deliveries that need processing and need ship-confirm
• A list of all deliveries that need processing and need ship-confirm
• A list of the customer orders that the warehouse is processing
• A list of pending orders that need processing at the end of a fiscal period to recognize
revenue
• A list of deliveries with assigned lines that you need to lock in (status Planned)
• A list of deliveries that you may need to close
Shipped Delivery Lines Report: Use the Shipped Delivery Lines report to display all delivery
lines that have been shipped. This report includes each shipped delivery line that satisfies your
parameter criteria. With this report you can also print totals for the released and shipped
quantities and the number of delivery lines that meet your parameter criteria.
You can use this report in several ways, including the following:
• A management report at the month end and quarter end for Oracle Accounts Receivables
to assure that all shipments had completed and Auto Invoiced.
• As a tool to identify possible re-calls or to identify the customers that a particular item
has been sent to.
• A management report by distribution management to compare the items that were
l y
released and shipped for a particular time period. It helps in determining picking and
shipping performance metrics.
n
e O
Bill of Lading: The Bill of Lading prints (on preprinted forms) all sales orders that have been
confirmed from a selected delivery. This document lists the ship date, carrier, bill of lading
U s
number, delivery name, shipper, ship-to address, carrier name, waybill number, quantity and
description of unpacked items, quantity and total of items packed in containers, total quantity

te r
the origin to a common drop off point. It can be printed for a single delivery as long as there
I n
Commercial Invoice Report: The Commercial Invoice Report lists all confirmed shipped
items in a delivery. If you specify only a delivery name when defining the parameters of this
l e
report, Shipping Execution prints one commercial invoice per delivery within the trip.
c
This report lists ship date, commercial invoice ID (same as the delivery name),
r a
shipper/exporter, ship-to address, exporter identification number, freight carrier, all confirmed
items within each delivery (including purchase order number, order number, quantity, unit of
O
measure, unit value, and extended value for the items), total packages, total weight, and total
value. Country of origin is for future use.

You can print order and line level notes on the commercial invoice. However, Shipping
Execution maintains a two line maximum for notes at the header or footer to allow space for
the fixed footer information that prints at the bottom of this report.
This report does not show tax or freight charges because it is not intended to replace the actual
invoice from Oracle Accounts Receivables.
Packing Slip Report: The Global Packing Slip Report lists the goods that are in transit and is
used to show that the goods do not belong to the carrier. The goods transported can be from
sales orders, internal sales orders or transfers, and project contract lines. In some countries, the
packing slip is optional while in others, it is required.
The Packing Slip Report prints the following information: the customer’s name with both the
ship-to and bill-to addresses, ship date, freight and payment terms, order date, and salesperson.
Also included are the waybill number, freight type, freight weight, FOB point, freight carrier,
and unit of measure.
The Packing Slip lists each ordered item including the line level ship-to contact or order level
contact, the purchase order number, the unit of measure, and the quantities ordered, shipped,
stock keeping unit (SKU) of items shipped, and backordered.
International Trade Management Reports and Processes: If your current responsibility
does not enable you to navigate to International Trade Management Reports and Processes,
change responsibility to ITM Adapter Super User responsibility.
ITM Adapter Status Report: Use the ITM Adapter Status Report to view the status of the
ITM Adapter and a summary of the errors encountered during the ITM Adapter processing.
This report displays the current status of the adapter; the number of unprocessed requests; and
l y
error information for each unprocessed request (partner, error type, error code, and interpreted
value).
n
The adapter statuses are:
• Start: Start up signal received
e O
• Active: Adapter is running
• Stop: Shut down signal received
U s
• ShutDown: Shut down in progress
A I
• Inactive: Adapter is inactive
O
Mailing Label Report: The Mailing Label Report consists of labels that print at document
l &
generation for identifying the ship-to address of the shipment. You will be able to print mailing
n a
labels before Ship Confirm since containers can be created without having to be associated to a
Delivery. If delivery and trip information is available, it also appears on the mailing label, for
te r
example, customer name, ship to address, carrier name, waybill number, number of packages
in the shipment, delivery number, container number, order number, and tracking number.
I n
Pick Slip Report: The Pick Slip Report prints all picking line details in a picking batch. This
c l e
report is used by the picker in the warehouse to collect all items included in shipments.
The pick slip displays the following sections:
r a
• Pick slip header: Lists report date, warehouse, pick slip number, and pick batch number.
• Release criteria: Lists pick slip grouping rule name and criteria used in grouping the pick
O slip such as customer, ship-to address, delivery name, trip stop address, order number,
shipment priority, carrier, subinventory, and requisition number.

• Pick slip list: The Pick Slip lists each item as well as the line number, unit of measure,
quantity requested, quantity shipped, sales order number, sales order line, ship set, trip,
delivery, task id, lot number, serial number from, serial number to, revision, pick from
location, and whether the item is required for shipment. The requested quantity shows the
total quantity; for example, if you split a staged line for 15 into two lines of 10 and 5
(using the Shipping Transactions form), the quantity requested for the item shows as 15.
The shipped quantity is for picker entry and is always zero unless a portion of the batch
was already picked in a separate instance. (Pick release partial, Ship Confirm and re-run
Pick release).
• This report also lists each sales order, including customer name, shipping address, order
number and order date, purchase order number, freight and payment terms, and
salesperson associated with the items. Also included are the pick slip number, FOB point,
planned freight carrier, requisition number, requestor, and any shipping notes that are
associated with the order.
• The Pick Slip displays separately the quantity of items picked from various lots: the
Transaction Quantity from each lot displays separately under Quantity.
• Shipping notes: Lists any associated shipping notes.
Shipping Exceptions Report: The Shipping Exceptions Report provides all the exception
details of Backorders and Holds from Shipping Execution. You can print this report by running
it through either SRS or during Pick Release processing. For more information on defining
shipping exceptions, see Shipping Execution Setup, Defining Shipping Exceptions in Oracle
Order Management Implementation Manual.
Auto Ship Confirm Report: The Auto Ship Confirm Report is designed to provide visibility
to batches that have been successfully Ship Confirmed by Auto Ship Confirm concurrent
n l y
program.
O
Auto-pack Report: The Auto-pack Report is designed to provide visibility to batches that
e
have been successfully packed by the Auto Pack concurrent program.

n l y
O
Process processes locations (addresses) and submits a report of location data that cannot be
matched to existing regions. Optionally, it can insert new region data into the regions interface
e
table.
Regions Interface Concurrent Process: Use this process to load bulk geographical
U s
A I
information from the regions interface table to Oracle Shipping Execution. This enables you to
filter the data that you are loading so that you can repeat the process without loading all of the
O
geographical information each time. The filters are country, country code, province/state, city,
city code, and postal code.
&
Ship Confirm Deliveries SRS: Ship Confirm Deliveries SRS enables you to utilize the Auto
l
n a
Ship Confirm functionality within Oracle Shipping Execution.
Interface Trip Stop SRS: The Interface Trip Stop-SRS process runs the interface to update
te r
Oracle Order Management sales order lines, Departure Ship Notice Outbound (DSNO)
generation, and inventory.
I n
Process Deliveries SRS: Use this process to append deliveries and autocreate deliveries with
c l e
unassigned delivery lines and to auto create trips with delivery groups according to the
grouping parameters and compatibility constraints. This process can be limited in the execution
r a
of the request to particular delivery lines status, delivery status, date ranges, ship method or
customer. This program is applicable only to outbound delivery lines and deliveries. This
O
process will not consolidate deliveries into trips when Oracle Transportation Planning is
installed.

Departure Ship Notice Outbound (DSNO)
n l y
e O
Departure Ship Notice Outbound (DSNO)
U s
A I
The Departure Ship Notice Outbound (DSNO) is a notice used by the supplier to provide
advance notification of a shipment to the buyer or trading partner that the material has been
O
shipped. To perform the DSNO transaction the following steps have to followed:
l &
• Enable the Trading Partner for DSNO: This is one-time setup step for each Trading
Partner/Site/Transaction. The details of the trading partner is defined in the Define
a
Trading Partner window in the Oracle EDI Gateway. In this window you specify the
n
te r
transactions that are eligible for DSNO.
• Close Trip Stop: The Close Trip Stop procedure should be initiated in the Oracle
I n
Shipping Execution. This will initiate the EDI Gateway export process for each eligible
delivery associated with that Trip Stop. The DSNO is also generated when the Interface
l e
Trip Stop process is run.
c
• Invoke the EDI Translation Software: The Oracle EDI Gateway export process is
r a
complete when the output flat file has been generated. To complete the EDI process, a
O third party EDI translation software package is invoked to process the Gateway flat file
and transmit the result.

Oracle Transportation Execution
n l y
e O
Oracle Transportation Execution
U s
A I
Oracle Transportation Execution enables you to communicate, collaborate, and manage your
transportation processes with complete visibility to carrier rates, schedules, intransit events, and
O
delivery information. Deliveries can be managed with both carriers and customers. You can
l &

carriers to deliveries based on customer requirements, commodity requirements, or warehouse
a
location. For a complete integrated logistics solution, you can use Oracle Transportation
n
te r
Execution with Oracle Order Management, Oracle Warehouse Management, and Oracle
Shipping Execution to streamline your entire logistics execution process, from picking and
packing to shipping and final delivery. From the customer order to the final delivery, Oracle
I n
Transportation Execution provides you an automated process ensuring that your customer orders
c l e
are efficiently processed.

n
te r
Note: If you are implementing a VAT system and do not wish to calculate tax nor validate
addresses, you can select the “No Validation – Country” Sales Tax Location Flexfield structure
I n
which requires that only the country is entered. In this case, Receivables derives the default
country from the “Default Country” system option. You may also implement Flexible Address

A I
The United States (US) Tax Partner Solutions let you provide for complex tax calculation
needs while retaining the full power of Receivables to create and store all other tax data.
O
Receivables will use this information to create the appropriate tax line(s) and related
accounting information.
l &
n a
• Tax information stored in Receivables tax tables passes to the tax partner.
• The Tax Partner Solution is called whenever a tax rate is calculated by the Receivables
Tax Engine.
te r
• The Tax Partner returns a tax rate and tax amount for every invoice line.
I n
• AutoAccounting then generates account distribution tax lines based on the tax
c l e
information that the Tax Partner returned.
Oracle integrates with these partner products:

Vertex Quantum for US Sales & Use Tax (PLSQL)
Note: The integration supports US Sales tax only. Beginning with Oracle Release 11.5.7,
Taxware and Vertex software is bundled with Oracle Applications.

For customers who are using Oracle Applications prior to 11.5.7, you can apply patch number

Practice - Define a Tax Code
Overview
In this practice you will define a tax code.
Assumptions
• If you are not attending training at an Oracle University or Authorized Partner
Education Center, you must have access to an Oracle Application Vision database or
comparable training test instance on which to complete this Practice.
• Replace XX in the Practice with a unique identifier such as your initials or a number.
(For Instructor Led Training classes, this number will be assigned to you). This is
necessary in order to create unique records within the database when performing the
Practice.

Tax Groups Overview
U s
A I
Multiple tax codes can be grouped together within the Order to Cash business cycle to build a
schedule or group of taxes.You can use tax groups to centralize the complex rules for finding a
O
tax code for a given place of supply and item. Tax groups can automate the selection of a
l &
single tax code based on condition sets. For example, in condition sets for a tax group, you can
specify which tax code to use for which destination country. In particular, tax groups support:
• Tax on cross-border transactions.
n a
• iStore and CRM applications.
te r
Tax groups can be used to calculate:
I n
• Multiple taxes for a transaction or transaction line.
c l e
• Compound taxes for a transaction.
- Assign a precedence number to each tax code in the Compounding Precedence
r afield. The highest precedence number calculates tax on all tax lines with a lower
precedence number, except when the taxable basis is prior tax.
O - Tax groups can also contain multiple independent branches of compounded tax.

Compound Tax Example
U s
A I
Receivables permits the creation of compound tax charges during invoice entry and import if
the Compound taxes system option is set to Yes. Precedence numbers are assign to indicate
O
which tax line you want Receivables to compound. In the example of above, the tax is
l &
calculated on Line 1 and then the total amount of 107, which consists of 100 for the line
amount plus 7 for the Tax on Line 1 are used to calculate the tax on Line 2. The two taxes are
a
then added together to give a total tax due of 17.70. When setting up compound tax the
n
following is applicable:
te r
• Define tax precedence rules for compounding tax.
I n
• Prior to Release 11i, only one compounding branch was allowed.
• Compounding rules support multiple groups of “tax on tax” in a single invoice.
l e
• Use compounding precedence field to group tax lines together.

Inclusive Tax with Compounding Example
n l y
e O
Inclusive Tax with Compounding Example
U s
A I
The example illustrates multiple compounding with an Inclusive branch. Only one
compounding branch may be inclusive. If a compounding branch is inclusive, all Tax Codes in
the branch must be inclusive.
O
l &
In the example, Code A and B are one branch, both are Inclusive, and B uses the total of 100
plus A’s tax of 20 to calculated the 12 tax thus compounding Code A’s tax. Both Code A and
a
B taxes are added to the line because they are inclusive bring the line total to 132.
n
te r
Code C and D are a second branch with Code D compounding Code C tax. Code C and D are
not Inclusive so a separate line will be added to the invoice for the tax of 43 from Code C and
n
D’s calculation. The total invoice will be 132 plus 43 equals 175.

Receivables provides two methods for deriving the appropriate VAT tax code and rate for your
• Item Method O
• Account Method
l &
n a
Note: Before implementing Receivables, you need to decide whether you want to derive a
transaction line's tax code and rate from the line's item or the line's natural revenue account.
te r
Normally, the tax code for a transaction (line) is derived using rules associated with the line
item and destination (Point of Supply).
I n
The Item Method defaults tax codes based on a search hierarchy that you define in the System
l e
Options window. Typically within the Item Method, the system searches for a tax code at the
item, customer site, customer, and system option levels (in that order) and ignores any tax
c
r a
codes associated with the Revenue Account of the line item. The Item Method:
• Derives tax code from combination of inventory item and ship-to country.
O
• Can be used for multiple, conditional, compounded taxes.
• Supports integration between Oracle Receivables and:

- Oracle Order Management.
- Oracle Order Capture.
- Legacy systems.
The Account Method requires assigning one or more revenue accounts to a tax code. Then,
when recording a transaction to one of the revenue accounts, Receivables will record the tax on
that transaction to the VAT account assigned to this revenue account. With the Account
Method:
• One or more revenue accounts are assigned to a tax code.
• Tax is recorded on the tax account assigned to the revenue account.
• Tax code for invoice distributions can be validated against tax code assigned to revenue
account.
