Update Shipping Information
The Update Shipping Information program updates orders lines with shipped quantity, sets the ship confirmation status, and backorders unshipped quantities on order lines you have pick released (picking lines).
Shipped Quantities
The Update Shipping Information program evaluates all departures and/or deliveries that have a status of Closed, Pending Update Shipping Information. Oracle Order Entry/Shipping updates the order line associated with the picking lines in the departure or delivery with the accumulated shipped quantity. Until you run this program, the shipped quantities recorded on the Confirm Shipments window are not reflected on any windows or reports that display the order line shipped quantity.
Backorders
The Update Shipping Information program creates a backordered picking line for any closed picking line with less than the total released quantity confirmed. Any order line or order line detail that is demanded or reserved before Pick Release and backordered during ship confirmation retains the schedule status it had before being released.
Cycle Action Results
The Update Shipping Information program updates the statuses for the Ship Confirm and Backorder Release cycle actions. The possible cycle action results for Ship Confirm are:
- Confirmed - the entire quantity for the order line has been confirmed.
- Backorder - Complete - the entire requested quantity has been backordered.
- Backorder - Partial - a portion of the requested quantity was confirmed and the remaining requested quantity was backordered.
- Partial - a portion of the order line was released and the total quantity released has been confirmed.
Any scheduled order line, demanded or reserved, that is backordered at ship confirmation retains the schedule status it had before Pick Release.
Note: If an item is not a shippable item, then this program automatically sets the order line's cycle status to Not Applicable for Ship Confirm.
Exception Handling
Any errors that occur are recorded in the process exceptions table (SO_EXCEPTIONS). Use the Process Exception Report to report all the errors for the Update Shipping Information program.
The Update Shipping Information program is only applicable for order cycles that include the Ship Confirm cycle action.
Suggestion: Use the View Orders window to view orders' and order lines' cycle statuses.
