B Scenarios for Shipment Consolidation Mode (Release 9.1 Update)

When you process sales order lines through the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Transportation Management system, the system assigns shipment numbers to the order lines based on the shipment consolidation mode that you select. The Transportation Management system offers four shipment consolidation modes:

  • Multiple Order Consolidation

  • Single Order Consolidation

  • Transactional Consolidation

  • No Consolidation

See "Setting Up Transportation Constants " in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Transportation Management Implementation Guide.

The shipment consolidation mode affects how the system assigns shipment numbers when releasing order lines from fulfillment. This appendix discusses a scenario for each shipment consolidation mode and how the system assigns shipment numbers to released order lines and unreleased order lines.

This appendix contains the following topics:

B.1 Scenario 1: Multiple Order Consolidation Mode

In the Multiple Order Consolidation mode, the system consolidates order lines from multiple orders to a single shipment.

In this scenario, we have three orders for customer 4242. Because of multiple order consolidation, the system assigns the same shipment number to each order line of every order for customer 4242.

The original shipment number (802) consists of three orders and a total of seven order lines. This table illustrates the details of the original shipment number before running the Release from Fulfillment report (R4277703):

When you run the Release from Fulfillment report the system:

  • Releases all quantity for Order 1

  • Partially releases quantity for Order 2

  • Does not release any quantity for Order 3

The following tables illustrate the results of fulfillment processing in the Multiple Order Consolidation mode:

The released quantities for each order line remain on the original shipment number (802). The system assigns a new shipment number (803) to all unreleased order lines.

B.2 Scenario 2: Single Order Consolidation Mode

In the Single Order Consolidation mode, the system consolidates all of the order lines on a single order to one shipment.

In this scenario, we have a single order with five order lines. Because of single order consolidation, the system assigns the same shipment number to each order line.

The original shipment number (1001) consists of all the order lines on the sales order. The following table illustrates the details of the original shipment number before running the Release from Fulfillment report:

When you run the Release from Fulfillment report, the system:

  • Partially releases quantity for order lines 3 and 4

  • Does not release any quantity for order line 5

The following table illustrate the results of fulfillment processing in the Single Order Consolidation mode:

B.3 Scenario 3: Transactional Consolidation Mode

In the Transactional Consolidation mode, the system consolidates order lines that are entered or modified together onto the same shipment.

In this scenario, we have an order where we use the Add mode to enter four order lines. Later, we use the Update mode to add four additional order lines. Because of transactional consolidation, the system assigns a shipment number to each transaction related to the order.

The original shipment number for the Add mode (202) consists of the four order lines that you entered to initiate the sales order. The original shipment number for the Update mode (203) consists of the four order lines that you added to the sales order as a second transaction. The following tables illustrate the details of the original shipment numbers for the Add mode and the Update mode before running the Release from Fulfillment report:

When you run the Release from fulfillment report, the system:

  • Releases all quantity for order lines 1 through 3

  • Partially releases quantity for order lines 4 through 6

  • Does not release any quantity for order lines 7 and 8

The following table illustrates the results of fulfillment processing in the Transactional Consolidation mode:

The released quantities for each transaction remain on the original shipment number for the respective mode (202 or 203).

For the Add mode transaction, the system fully releases the quantity for order lines (1-3) and partially releases the quantity for order line 4. The released quantity remains on the Add mode original shipment number (202) and the system creates a new shipment number (204) for the partially unreleased quantity for item D.

For the Update mode transaction, the system partially releases the quantity for order lines 5 and 7. The released quantity remains on the original shipment number (203) and the system creates new shipment numbers (205 and 206) for each partially unreleased order line. The system does not release any quantity for order lines 7 and 8. Because the system did not release any quantity for either order line, the system assigns the quantity for each order line to the same shipment number (207).

The following tables illustrate the contents of the original shipment numbers and the new shipment numbers after you run the Release from Fulfillment report:

B.4 Scenario 4: No Consolidation Mode

In the No Consolidation mode, the system assigns a shipment number to each order line of a sales order.

In this scenario, we have a sales order with four order lines. Because of no consolidation, when we create the sales order, the system assigns a different shipment number to each order line.

The original shipment numbers are 400, 401, 402, and 403. The following table illustrates the details of the sales order lines and each respective original shipment number before running the Release from Fulfillment report:

When you run the Release from Fulfillment report, the system:

  • Partially releases the quantity for order lines 1, 3, and 4

  • Releases all of the quantity for order line 2

The released quantities for each order line remain on their respective original shipment number. The system assigns a new shipment number to the partially released order lines. The system does not create a new shipment number for order line 2 because the system did not release any of the order lines from fulfillment.
