Defining Sales Order Header Shipping Information
Depending on your standard value rules, if you enter warehouse, shipment priority, freight carrier, demand class, or request date information at the header level, the values cascade to your order lines to speed order entry. You can override these values for each line as necessary.
Prerequisites
To define shipping header information for an order:
1. Navigate to the Shipping header alternative region in the Sales Orders window.
3. Select a Shipment Priority.
Shipment priority allows you to group shipments into different categories of urgency, and can be used as a parameter for Pick Release. You can define additional shipment priorities in the Order Entry QuickCodes window.
4. Define a Freight Carrier and the order's Freight Terms.
Freight carriers determine how your shipment will be shipped to your customer and are defined in the Freight Carriers window. The freight carrier can be used as a parameter for Pick Release.
Freight terms record who is responsible for the freight charges for the order. You can define additional freight terms by using the Order Entry QuickCodes window.
7. Define a Request Date for the order.
You can enter a time to track requested shipments more precisely.
8. Optionally check the Allow Partial check box to allow partial shipments.
If toggled on, the configuration options or individual order lines can be shipped as they are available, and you can assign different ship-to locations and other schedule details to different shipments in an order line. If toggled off, Oracle Order Entry/Shipping automatically defaults the same ship set number for each line as you enter it, preventing configuration options or order lines from shipping until all items in the order are available. You can override the ship set number.
9. Define Shipping and Packing Instructions.
Shipping instructions are printed on the pick slip and are intended for internal personnel. Packing instructions are printed on the pack slip and are intended for external shipping personnel.
