 Feature:- Defer Planned Shipment Interface

As of today there is no capability in Oracle Shipping that will defer ‘Planned Shipment
Interface’ from being submitted in real time .

Essentially if there are several updates being made on the deliveries in Oracle OTM, many
planned shipment Concurrent request could get submitted as Concurrent request on the
EBS side – Once they get Re-planed on OTM side.

This feature is to provide the user a way to suppress concurrent request from getting
submitted in Planned Shipment interface Immediately
Benefit:-
1)Improved system Performance-As suppressing the real-time interface data handling will
free up large system resource and improve the overall performance flexibility

Setup:-

OM>Setup>Shipping>Global parameter

Check box for

DPSI and default
is unchecked

As it is defined as global shipping parameter since the incoming planned shipment

may belong to several organization and so the parameter should be independent
and global.

If the is checked ,the ‘Initiate Planned Shipment’ API in EBS will defer the
launch of ‘Planned Shipment Interface’ Concurrent program

Feature:-
Allow Incremental Shipments for Over-shipment and Under-
shipment Tolerances
Previously, When Over-Shipmet tolerance is met, then the remainder unpicked
delivery details are automatically cancelled.Hence ,the user are not able to ship the
maximum tolerance allowed quantities.

Similarly, when under-Shipmet tolerance is met ,then the remainder unpicked delivery
details are automatically cancelled.Hence ,user are not able to ship till the order
quantity (or maximum tolerance allowed quantity when over- Shipmet tolerance is
also specified).

With this feature users are now have the flexibility to allow them ship till maximum
allowed quantity i.e till ordered quantity when under- shipment tolerance is specified
and over-shipment tolerance quantity when over shipment tolerance is specified.

Benefit:-

1)Improved usage frequency of customer order:- the enhancement of shipping within

tolerance range(between upper and lower shipping tolerance) makes the same
customer order shipped against multiple shipments, thus reducing the need to create
several customer orders

Previously ,the unpicked qty is always cancelled during ITS and now the users can
use new custom Hook, part of ITS ,to configure if the unpicked qty should not be
cancelled to allow for incremental Shipmet later.

Process:-
Allow Incremental Shipments for Over-shipment and Under-shipment
Tolerances

Process:-
Pick Confirm by Transacting Inventory Move Order.
After the pick confirm is done ,Oracle Inventory pass the quantity picked to Oracle
shipping. To Overpick’ the parameter-Auto Pick confirm is disabled and pick
confirm should be done manually by transacting move order in Oracle Inventory.

For the unpicked pending qty during over pick, if the new parameter ’retain
unstaged qty during Over pick ‘is checked ,then shipping will not cancel the
unpicked remaining qty and will adjust it for further incremental shipments with in
the shipping tolerance

Process:-
Allow Incremental Shipments for Over-shipment and Under-shipment
Tolerances

Ship confirm will invoke the running of API-Interface Trip stop .

The user can configure by setting the custom hook added to this API to not cancel
the unpicked remaining qty when ITS is launched.

As we are know the custom hook is modified and re applied to DB

Enable All Sites for Global Contract Purchase Agreements

A new feature “Enable All Sites” in Global Contract Purchase Agreement has been
introduced to allow Contracts to be referenced from any of the valid supplier sites
while creating standard PO and requisitions.

This allows broader use of GCPA, such as for suppliers with many valid sites in a
single master agreement.

Additionally, a profile option has been added to allow a Requisition or Standard

Purchase Order to reference a GCPA from any of the Supplier Sites while the GCPA is
being amended. By default, the profile option is set to “No” to preserve current
behavior.
