Oracle Transportation Management integrates with Oracle Order Management to enable transportation rating and routing at the time of order entry. Oracle Order Management also provides outbound data to Oracle Transportation Management that Oracle Transportation Management uses to plan shipments.
The implementation of Oracle Transportation Management enables you to offer an estimate of the shipping rate and route at the time of order entry. After you have entered the order line, you select the appropriate action as needed.
Oracle Transportation Management leverages the following Oracle Order Management actions, which are enhanced by the introduction of Oracle Transportation Management:
Choose Ship Method: Enables you to select the ship method, costs, and transit times
Get Ship Method: Returns the ship method
Get Ship Method and Rates: Returns the ship method and rate
Get Freight Rates: Returns the freight cost for the ship method returned
Each action returns the appropriate ship method and rate for the given order line.
You must define the following profile options to enable the Oracle Order Management to Oracle Transportation Management integration:
OTM: Domain Name
OTM: Domain Password
OTM: Domain User
OTM: Integration Enabled
OTM: Proxy Port
OTM: Proxy Server
OTM: Servlet URL
