Creating a Departure
You can create a departure to which you can assign delivery lines, or you can query delivery lines and create a departure consisting of the queried delivery lines.
To create a departure:
1. Navigate to the Find Departure Information window.
2. Choose the New Departure button.
The Departure window displays.
3. Define a name for the departure.
If you do not define a name, Order Entry / Shipping will automatically create a name for the departure when you save the departure.
Attention: Your system administrator can specify the naming convention used for creating departure names. For example, you could specify that all deliveries started with the Dpt_ prefix so that your deliveries would be named Dpt_1, Dpt_2, etc.
Attention: You cannot alter the name of a departure once it has been planned. However, you can alter the name of the departure if it is open.
4. Define the Planned Date for the departure.
5. Specify the departure that you want your new departure to Arrive After if you want your departures to arrive in a specific order.
6. Select a Freight Carrier.
7. Select a Vehicle for the Departure.
When you select a vehicle for the departure, the Minimum Fill Percentage field defaults to the minimum fill percentage defined for the vehicle. You can define the minimum fill percentage using the Physical Attributes alternative region on the Master Item window in Oracle Inventory. See: Defining Master Items
8. Define the Carrier Number.
9. Specify any additional Instructions for the Carrier.
10. Select the Unit Of Measure for the Volume of the departure.
This field defaults to the Volume UOM Class you define in the Shipping Parameters window for the selected warehouse. See: Defining Shipping Parameters
11. Select the Unit Of Measure for the Weight of the departure.
This field defaults to the Weight UOM Class you define in the Shipping Parameters window for the selected warehouse. See: Defining Shipping Parameters
To create a departure consisting of delivery lines from the planning pool:
1. Find the Delivery Lines you want to include in the departure using the Find Departure Information window. See: Finding Delivery Lines
2. Navigate to the Delivery Lines window.
3. Select the delivery lines you want to add to the departure.
Attention: If you are assigning a ship set or a ship model complete configuration to a departure, you must assign the entire ship set or ship model complete configuration to the departure to keep the entire ship set or ship model complete configuration together. If you assign a delivery line that is part of a ship set or ship model complete configuration to a departure by itself, all delivery lines within the ship set or ship model complete configuration are returned to individual delivery line status. The ship set or ship model complete configuration will no longer exist.
4. Choose the Create Departure button to add the delivery lines to the departure.
The Departure window displays. The Departure Name is automatically created, the Planned Date is defaulted as the current date, and the Freight Carrier is defaulted from the delivery lines.
5. Define any additional information for the departure.
