Prerequisite Setup in Oracle Order Entry

Use Oracle Order Entry to enter and maintain customer orders. Alternately, Order Entry's OrderImport can be used to import customer orders from non-Oracle order management systems and EDI transactions.

After the customer order is entered, use Order Entry to book, approve, and schedule shipments. During the shipment preparation process, inventory is released, pick slips are printed, shipping documents are prepared, and the shipment is confirmed.

Once the shipment is confirmed, define a departure to specify the exact contents. A departure may be a truck load containing x number of items in y number of boxes defined and in z number of pallets.

After the departure is closed, the shipping process initiates the EDI transaction through the EDI Gateway. This transaction is event-driven by the shipping process; it is not driven by the schedule. EDI Gateway can be used to re-initiate the process, if necessary.
