Prerequisites

   Enter main sales order header information. See: Defining Sales Order Header Main Information.

   Enter an item. See: Defining Sales Order Item Information.

   To define scheduling line information for an order:

1. Navigate to the Scheduling lines alternative region in the Sales Orders window.

2. Select a Source Type.

Internal indicates that you intend to ship an item from inventory. External denotes a drop-ship line that will be fulfilled by a supplier.

Note: Your ability to modify a line's source type depends on the order type you entered in the order header. If the order type uses a non-drop-shipment order cycle, Oracle Order Entry/Shipping defaults Internal to the Source Type field. If the order type uses a drop-shipment order cycle, Order Entry/Shipping defaults External to the Source Type field. Only if the order type's order cycle permits a combination of internal and external shipments can you select a source type on a line-by-line basis.

Caution: If this order line is part of an internal sales order, its source type should be Internal to avoid sending the line back to Oracle Purchasing.

3. Select the Receiving Organization.

Note: Your ability to enter this field depends on the line's Source Type value.

4. Select the warehouse (organization) from which to ship the order line.

You can choose any warehouse for which the item attribute Customer Orders Enabled is set to Yes for this item.

5. Enter the quantity of the item that should be reserved for this order line.

If you enter a partial quantity to reserve, Oracle Order Entry/Shipping places demand for the remaining quantity ordered.

6. Define a Ship Set number if you want to ship the total quantity of this line as a group.

All lines in this order that have the same ship set number will be shipped together. All lines in the same ship set must have the same warehouse, scheduled shipment date, ship-to location, shipment priority, and freight carrier.

7. Define the Date Requested, Date Promised, and Date Scheduled.

Request date and schedule date can be used as parameters for Pick Release. You can enter a time in the Date Requested field to track shipments more precisely. Schedule date is used in Oracle Manufacturing as the effective demand date.

8. Select a Schedule Action. You can select from the following:

ATP Inquiry -- runs a query for the full ATP (available-to-promise) quantity on the line, without placing demand. Oracle Order Entry/Shipping performs an ATP Inquiry based on scheduling attributes currently displayed in an order line, such as item, quantity, warehouse, and dates. If any such scheduling attribute is modified and not yet committed to the database, Oracle Order Entry/Shipping performs the inquiry based on that information, but reverts to the saved data after the inquiry to prevent inadvertent alteration of any existing scheduling.

Demand -- places demand for the full quantity entered in the Quantity Ordered field. If the item has the Check ATP item attribute set to Yes, Oracle Order Entry/Shipping automatically performs an ATP inquiry.

Reserve -- reserves the quantity entered in the Quantity Reserved field. If the reserved quantity is null, Oracle Order Entry/Shipping automatically reserves the entire unreleased and uncancelled quantity ordered.

Undemand -- removes demand previously placed for the line.

Unreserve -- removes reservations previously placed for the line, but leaves the line demanded.

Unschedule -- removes all demand and reservations for the line.

If you have previously chosen the Demand or Reserve schedule actions, Oracle Order Entry/Shipping displays the schedule status as Demanded or Reserved, respectively. The status Supply Reserved indicates that Oracle Work in Process has reserved the item; this is valid only for ATO configurations and ATO items. Once the item is built, the work order is closed, the item is transferred to Inventory, and the status will change to Reserved. If the order line is for a multiple quantity and only a partial quantity is completed, its status will remain Supply Reserved until the full quantity is complete. See: Overview of Order Scheduling.

Note: You can also define schedule actions in the Schedule dialog window. See: Scheduling an Order or Order Line.

9. Select the Demand Class for the order line. See: Demand Class QuickCodes.

10. Save your work.
