Oracle Order Entry/Shipping Profile Options (Oracle Order Entry / Shipping--Production)


	Previous	Next		Contents	Index	Navigation	Glossary	Library

Oracle Order Entry/Shipping Profile Options

During your implementation, you set a value for each profile option in Order Entry/Shipping to specify how Order Entry/Shipping controls access to and processes data.

Generally, your system administrator sets up and updates profile option values. The Oracle Applications System Administration User's Guide contains more information on profile options, including the internal names of each Order Entry/Shipping profile option.

Multi-Organization Setup

If you are using a multiple-organization structure, your system administrator must change the OE: Item Validation Organization and OE: Set of Books profile options to be visible and updatable at the responsibility level. These changes allow Order Entry/Shipping to default tax code and revenue account information correctly. See: Setting Up, Multiple Organizations in Oracle Applications.

Profile Option Settings

You can set or view the following profile options in Oracle Order Entry/Shipping. The table also includes some profile options from other applications that are used by Oracle Order Entry/Shipping.

Indicates whether Order Entry/Shipping honors customer relationships. (This profile option is currently used only in Order Entry/Shipping, and is not valid for any other Oracle Applications). Order Entry/Shipping honors customer relationships for agreements and commitments regardless of this profile option's setting.

Yes Order Entry/Shipping honors customer relationships; for agreements, commitments, and ship-to and bill-to locations and contacts, you can only choose customer locations and contacts from among customers with defined relationships. (Default value)

No Order Entry/Shipping does not restrict your selection of ship-to and bill-to locations and contacts in the Sales Orders window to related customers. Any active customer location or contact can be selected.

OE: Debug

Indicates whether debugging messages are displayed.

Yes Display debug messages.

No Do not display debug messages. (Default value)

OE: Debug Level

OE: Debug Trace

Indicates whether a trace file is created during the execution of a concurrent program. This profile option is used by Support as a tool to identify a problem with the code.

Yes Display trace output of Order Entry/Shipping concurrent programs in log file.

No Do not display debug messages. (Default value)

OE: Default Picking Document Set

Specifies the default document set that is printed when you pick release a batch using the Release Sales Orders For Picking window. You can define custom document sets in the Define Document Sets window.

Pick Release Documents Document set including all picking documents (Consolidated Pick Slip, Pick Slip, and Process Exception Report) defaults to the Document Set field in the Release Sales Orders For Picking window. (Default value)

(User-defined values) You can define custom document sets in the Define Document Sets window.

OE: Default RMA Status

Allows you to provide a default Entry Status for the Returns window. User-defined entry statuses do not appear as options in this profile option.

Entered When you create a new RMA, its status defaults to Entered. (Default value)

Partial When you create a new RMA, its status defaults to Partial.

OE: Default Shipping Document Set

Specifies the default document set that is printed when you close a picking batch from the Confirm Shipments window. You can define custom document sets in the Define Document Sets window.

All Shipping Documents Document set including all shipping documents (Bills of Lading, Commercial Invoice, Mailing Labels, and Pack Slip) defaults to the Document Set field in the Confirm Shipment window. (Default value)

(User-defined values) You can define custom document sets in the Define Document Sets window.

OE: Discounting Privilege

Provides the option of controlling users' ability to apply discounts on an order or order line.

Full Ability to apply any valid discount against an order or order line, as long as the order type of the order does not enforce list prices. (Default value)

Non-Overridable Only Ability to apply only non-overridable discounts against an order or order line.

None No ability to apply any discounts against an order or order line.

Unlimited Ability to apply any valid discount against any order or order line, regardless of whether the order type of the order enforces list prices.

OE: Force Valid Configurations

When you attempt to add an invalid or incomplete configuration to a booked order, Order Entry/Shipping automatically places the Configuration Validation hold on your model line. This option's setting determines your ability to continue processing the order. Once the configuration becomes valid, Order Entry/Shipping releases the hold.

Though this profile option does not have a default value, if you do not select one, behavior reflects the Yes option.

Yes You must enter all required components in a configuration for a booked order while in the Line Options window. You cannot save and proceed until all requirements have been satisfied.

No The automatic hold prevents the model line from proceeding to the next cycle action.

OE: GSA Discount Violation Action

Indicates how you want the user notified when you define a discount that results in a item price less than the price on a GSA discount for the same price list.

Error Prevent definition of discounts that result in GSA violations.

Warning Permit the discount to be defined, but issue a message noting that the discount results in a selling price less than a GSA discount. (Default value)

OE: Immediate Inventory Update

Determines whether Update Shipping Information and Inventory Interface are run automatically when a pick slip or picking batch is closed.

Yes Automatically runs the Update Shipping Information and Inventory Interface programs when the pick slip or picking batch is closed.

No Does not automatically run Update Shipping Information and Inventory Interface when a pick slip or picking batch is closed. (Default value)

OE: Included Item Freeze Method

Controls the date and time Order Entry/Shipping uses to determine the included items for a configuration's bill of material.

Booking Configuration freeze date and time are set at booking. Pick Release does not compare the order line schedule details to the bill of material and just uses the existing order line schedule details.

Entry Configuration freeze date and time are set at order entry. Pick Release does not compare the order line schedule details to the bill of material and just uses the existing order line schedule details.

Pick Release Configuration freeze date and time are set at pick release. If an order line is eligible, Pick Release reviews the bill of material and creates order line schedule details for all included items in the bill. If the order line was previously demanded or reserved, order line schedule details already exist for the included items. Pick Release compares the existing lines to the current bill. Pick Release adds or deletes order line schedule details to match the current structure of the bill. If an existing order line schedule detail is reserved but is no longer a valid included item in the bill, Pick Release unschedules and deletes it.

(No value) Equivalent to Booking.

OE: Inventory Stock Location

Indicates the structure of the Oracle Inventory Stock Locator Flexfield used by Oracle Order Entry/Shipping in the Release Sales Orders For Picking and Confirm Shipment windows. This structure should be the same as the structure defined in Oracle Inventory. This profile option must be set for the Confirm Shipment window and the Update Shipping Information program to function properly.

OE: Item Flexfield

Indicates the structure of the Item Flexfield (System Items) used by Order Entry/Shipping. This structure should be the same across all applications in the same database.

OE: Item Validation Organization

Indicates the Oracle Manufacturing organization against which items are validated. You must define all transactable items in this organization.

Note: Organization is synonymous with warehouse in Oracle Order Entry/Shipping.

Set the OE: Item Validation Organization profile at the site level for the inventory organization whose item master you want to use. This profile option indicates the organization that Oracle Order Entry/Shipping uses to validate items.

Warning: Do not change this profile option when you have open orders in your database.

OE: Item View Method

Allows you to specify how you want to view items in the Line Options windows.

Concatenated Segment Values Indicates that you want to enter and view items by System Item Key Flexfield segment values. The Line Options window displays the System Item Key Flexfield concatenated segment value for an item in the Item field. The Item field list of values displays items by concatenated segment values.

Description Indicates that you want to enter and view items by item description. The Line Options window displays item descriptions in the Item field. The Item field list of values displays items by description. (Default value)

Concatenated Segment Values without Indentation Indicates that you want to enter and view items in the Line Options window by the System Item key flexfield segment values.

Description without Indentation Indicates that you want to enter and view items in the Line Options window by item description.

OE: Reservations

Indicates whether reservations are used in your installation of Oracle Order Entry/Shipping. On-line reservations are allowed in the Sales Orders and Schedule Orders windows. Pick release reserves quantities as the orders are picked.

Attention: You must set Reservations to Yes to use ATO functionality.

Warning: Do not change this profile option when you have open orders in your database.

Yes Activate reservations in Order Entry/Shipping (Default value).

No Inactivate reservations in Order Entry/Shipping.

OE: Schedule Date Window

Defines the number of days past the schedule date (including the schedule date) that the Demand Interface attempts to demand inventory. For example, if the schedule date for an order line detail is 9-NOV-96 and this profile option is set to 10, Order Entry/Shipping attempts to demand inventory from 9-NOV-96 to 18-NOV-96. If inventory is not available on 9-NOV-96 but a new shipment containing the requested items is expected on 12-NOV-96, Order Entry/Shipping demands the inventory and sets the schedule date on the order line detail to 12-NOV-96.

Note: There is no limit on the number of days you can define for the schedule date window. However, this window must be greater than or equal to 1. A brief window is recommended.

When demanding inventory for ship sets, ATO configurations, or Ship Model Complete PTO orders, inventory must be available for all items and options. If you demand inventory for an order containing a ship set using the above example, the schedule dates for all lines and line details in the ship set will be set to 12-NOV-96.

Attention: When demanding part of a ship set or Ship Model Complete PTO on-line, this profile option is ignored.

Attention: Pick Release ignores the value of this profile option.

OE: Set of Books

Identifies the set of books in which Order Entry/Shipping operates. This profile option is used to validate the Cost of Goods Sold Account created by the Inventory Interface. The set of books for all inventory organizations receiving transactions from Order Entry/Shipping must be the same.

OE: Source Code

Identifies the source code that Order Entry/Shipping passes to Oracle Inventory during scheduling. The source code should be defined as the third segment of the Sales Order Flexfield to guarantee that each transaction is unique.

(Default value) ORDER ENTRY

OE: Trans. Manager Debug Level

Determines what type of information you want listed in the diagnostics file for the Order Entry Transaction Manager. You can choose from the following options:

Bit Value/ Profile Option Value Logging Enabled

1 All fields received from the client are printed to the log.

2 All fields sent to the client are printed to the log.

4 All buffer fields used by PL/SQL statements are printed to the log file before executing the statements.

16 The arguments to the user exits are logged.

32 All messages issued are written to the log file.

64 Logs miscellaneous actions.

4096 Time stamps are written to the log file.

If you want to include multiple types of information in the diagnostics file, enter the sum of the bit values. For example, if you want to see all fields received from a client (bit value=1) and the arguments to the user exits (bit value=16) in the diagnostics file, enter 17 for the profile option.

Bit Value/ Profile Option Value	Logging Enabled
1	All fields received from the client are printed to the log.
2	All fields sent to the client are printed to the log.
4	All buffer fields used by PL/SQL statements are printed to the log file before executing the statements.
16	The arguments to the user exits are logged.
32	All messages issued are written to the log file.
64	Logs miscellaneous actions.
4096	Time stamps are written to the log file.

OE: Transaction Manager

Specifies the Order Entry transaction manager to which you want to connect. See: Establishing a Network Connection.

OE: Tune for Large Number of Discounts

This profile option is only applicable if you use the Pricing Attributes descriptive flexfield and you have many discounts defined (for example, more than 1000).

Oracle Order Entry/Shipping performs a complex query the first time in a session that a user navigates to the Pricing Attributes field in the lines block of the Sales Orders or Returns window. This query checks to see which Pricing Attributes descriptive flexfield segments are enabled and are being used as parameters in any discounts you have defined. It may take an unacceptable amount of time for your users if you have many discounts defined, in which case you should set this profile option to Yes. In all other cases, you should leave this profile option as the default of No.

No The complex query to check for used pricing attributes is run the first time in a session that the Sales Orders or Returns window is used. (Default value)

Yes The complex query to check for used pricing attributes is not performed, and Oracle Order Entry/Shipping considers all Pricing Attributes Descriptive Flexfield segments as being used as parameters in any discounts you have defined. If any Pricing Attributes are entered for an order or return line, Oracle Order Entry/Shipping checks to see if they make the line eligible for any discounts.

OE: Unit Price Precision Type

Controls whether entry and display of unit prices are in either a currency's standard precision or its extended precision. Totals are always displayed in the standard precision of the currency.

ExtendedEnter and display unit list and selling prices in a currency's extended precision.

Standard Enter and display unit list and selling prices in a currency's standard precision. (Default value)

Attention: We recommend that you do not change this profile option from Extended to Standard if you ever want to access the orders and returns entered when the profile option was set to Extended. If you change the option to Standard and you try to update or query orders entered when it was set to Extended, you receive an error message regarding the price precision.

OE: Validate Option Line Item

This profile option is used in conjunction with the Customer Orders Enabled Flag (in the Order Entry alternative region on the Master Item window in Oracle Inventory) to define whether an option item can be ordered and fulfilled from a warehouse. The following table shows the possible combinations.

OE: Validate Option Line Item Customer Order Enabled Flag Orderable as Option Item

Yes No No

Yes Yes Yes

No Yes/No Yes

OE: Validate Option Line Item	Customer Order Enabled Flag	Orderable as Option Item
Yes	No	No
Yes	Yes	Yes
No	Yes/No	Yes

OE: Validate Standard Line Item

This profile option is used in conjunction with the Customer Orders Enabled Flag (in the Order Entry alternative region on the Master Item window in Oracle Inventory) to define whether a standard item can be ordered and fulfilled from a warehouse. The following table shows the possible combinations.

OE: Validate Standard Line Item Customer Order Enabled Flag Orderable as Standard Item

Yes No No

Yes Yes Yes

No Yes/No Yes

OE: Validate Standard Line Item	Customer Order Enabled Flag	Orderable as Standard Item
Yes	No	No
Yes	Yes	Yes
No	Yes/No	Yes

OE: Verify GSA Violations

Indicates whether Order Entry should test for GSA violations. The evaluation is performed against all GSA discounts on the same price list as the order. Order lines with selling prices lower than the item's GSA selling price are in violation of GSA rules.

Yes Test for GSA violations and place violating orders on hold.

No Do not test for GSA violations. (Default value)

OE: Weight Unit Of Measure Class

Allows you to choose the unit of measure class for the weight units used in the Confirm Shipments window. If you do not enter a value for this profile option, the list of values for the Unit field on the Confirm Shipments window displays all units of measure that you have defined for your applications.

SHP: Release Online Exception Report

Specifies the name of the exception report created when you release orders on line. You can define a custom exception report or accept the default exception report. If you create a custom report, you must register the report and add the report to the document set feature in Order Entry/Shipping. You must set SHP: Release Single Orders Online to Yes for this profile option to work. This profile option can be seen and updated at the application and user levels.

SHP: Release Online Pick Slip Report

Specifies the name of the pick slip report created when you release orders on line. You can define a custom pick slip report or accept the default pick slip report. If you create a custom report, you must register the report and add the report to the document set feature in Order Entry/Shipping. You must set SHP: Release Single Orders Online to Yes for this profile option to work. This profile option can be seen and updated at the application and user levels.

SHP: Release Single Orders Online

Determines whether Pick Release Online can be used. This profile option must be set to Yes for Pick Release Online to work.

Yes Enables Pick Release Online. (Default value)
