ASN Discrepancy Report

The ASN discrepancy report enables users of Oracle Warehouse Management to generate a report that details any discrepancies between the material information that a supplier sent on their ASN, and the material information that was collected at the time of actual receipt. The ASN Discrepancy Report is only valid for material that was not received through an Express Receipt, but through a Confirmed Receipt instead.

At the time of Confirmed receipt, you can enter different LPNs, Items, Quantities, Lots and Serials than what was shipped on the ASN. This report enables you to see the difference between the expected information and the actual information. The report also enables you to specify what types of discrepancies to report on and other parameters to control the behavior of the report.

Consolidation Report

A consolidation report is available to help direct manual consolidation based on sales order, delivery, or trip. This report displays all staged LPNs for a given sales order, delivery, or trip.

Report Submission

Use the following instructions to run the Consolidation Report.

1. Navigate to the Submit Request window.

2. Enter, or select from the list of values, Consolidation Report in the Name field.

3. In the Parameters window, enter, or select from the list of values, the organization that you want to run the report against.

4. Enter one of the criteria in the Parameters window and submit your request.

   Note: Only one of the following criteria should be entered per request: Trip, Delivery, Sales Order Type and Sales Order Number, and Customer Name. While the report supports entering any combination of criteria, the report will only include LPNs that meet all the criteria. Therefore, entering multiple criteria will likely not return data.

Report Parameters

The Consolidation Report parameters include the following:

Organization

• The organization that you want to run the report against.

Trip

• The trip for which staged LPNs should be included.

Delivery

• The delivery for which staged LPNs should be included.

Sales Order Type and Sales Order Number

• The sales order for which staged LPNs should be included.

Customer Name

• The customer for which staged LPNs should be included.

Check LPN Multiple Association

• Include additional data on whether the LPNs have been staged for other sales orders, deliveries, and trips in addition to that which has been queried.

The Consolidation Report displays the following fields:

• Trip Number

• Delivery Number

• Sales Order Number

• All LPNs that belong to the search criteria

• Current location (subinventory and locator)

• Items (Item Number)

• Unit of measure (UOM)

• Quantity in the primary UOM (Qty)

• Secondary unit of measure

• Quantity in the secondary UOM.

• A flag which lets the user know whether the LPN contains items that either belong to multiple sales orders, multiple deliveries, or multiple trip stops

• Trip Stop Location (if a trip exists)

• Status of the delivery detail (Staged, Released to Warehouse, and so on)

  Note: It is only possible for LPNs to be staged for multiple sales orders, deliveries, or trips if bulk picking has been used. Therefore, if bulk picking is not used in the organization, the output will be easier to read and also will complete faster if this option is disabled.

Space Utilization Report

The Warehouse Space Utilization report provides a current snapshot of the capacity and percentage fill of a location in the warehouse. Querying by percentage of space used will show all the locators below or above a certain percentage. It can also be used to find empty locators. The percentage usage can be queried by units, volume, and weight.

Distribution managers may use this information to create replenishment transactions, run the min-max report, or analyze item locator storage relationships.

Concurrent Requests

You can also run concurrent requests within Oracle Warehouse Management. Concurrent requests are similar to reports in that you must submit a request for the process to run. You can run the following concurrent requests.

• Allocate Replenishment Move Order

• Archive Oracle Warehouse Management Tasks

• Dynamic Replenishment

• Oracle Warehouse Management Bulk Task Generation

• WMS Generate Inbound Dispatching Tasks

• Purge WMS Management History Tables

• Push Replenishment

• Schedule Cycle Count

• Synchronize Dock Doors with Transportation Management

• Un-archive Oracle Warehouse Management Tasks

Allocate Replenishment Move Order

This concurrent program can be scheduled to run periodically to allocate the move orders created. This program reviews the locators of destination subinventories for the open replenishment move orders (not only those that are part of WMS_REPLENISMENT_DETAILS table but all open replenishment move orders) to see if any capacity becomes available in those locators.

If the available capacity at the destination locator is more than the single unit Pick UOM quantity of the corresponding source subinventory, then the allocation process for the move order is triggered. If multiple replenishment move orders are eligible to be allocated, then those replenishment move orders with the highest priority for the associated demand orders lines are consumed first.

1. Navigate to the Submit Request window.

2. Select Allocate Replenishment Move Order.

3. In the Parameters window, select a Quantity Function that determines how the capacity is to be allocated (for example, by volume or weight).

Archiving Tasks

You can use the Archive Oracle Warehouse Management Tasks to archive tasks. For inbound tasks tied to an operation plan, you can archive only tasks that belong to a completed or aborted operation plan. You cannot archive an in progress plan. For other tasks types not associated with an operation plan, you can archive any completed task.

1. Navigate to the submit requests window.

2. Select Archive Oracle Warehouse Management Tasks as the request type.

3. Enter the following parameters:

   • Program Parameters

   • Organization Code

   • Past Exempt Days

   • Archive Batches

4. Submit the request.

Dynamic Replenishment

You use the Dynamic Replenishment concurrent request to restart the dynamic replenishment process if it fails. The Dynamic Replenishment concurrent request creates a replenishment move order that is generated after the pick release process. It contains the following parameters:

• Batch ID: The pick release batch ID

• Organization: The current organization

• Plan Tasks: The system uses the warehouse control board to plan the replenishment tasks

• Release Rule: The release rule to use to generate the replenishment move order

Purge WMS History Tables

To prevent the history tables from growing too large, run the Purge WMS History Tables concurrent request to purge the device, LPN record, and label history tables in Oracle Warehouse Management. You have the option to specify how often this concurrent request runs, and request up to which day should be removed. The request takes a value of days as a parameter and deletes any requests that are older than the number of days entered.

1. Navigate to the Purge WMS History tables concurrent request.

2. Enter the following parameters:

   • Purge Date

   • Purge Name

   • Purge Age (in days)

   • Purge Type (Device, LPN or Label)

3. Submit the request.

Generate LPN

Use the Generate LPN concurrent program to generate LPNs based on client-specific LPN parameters.

To generate LPN

1. Navigate to the Submit Request window.

2. Select Generate LPN as the request type.

   

3. Enter the following parameters as desired:

   • Org Parameters: Select No or Yes.

     Note: If you select Yes, only the Quantity and Client fields are enabled.

   • Total Length: Defines total length of characters for the LPN.

   • LPN Prefix:

   • Starting Number

   • UCC-128 Suffix

   • LPN Suffix

   • Quantity (mandatory field)

   • Cost Group

   • Client: Select the client for which you want to generate LPNs.

Oracle Warehouse Management Bulk Task Generation

The concurrent program is a way to bulk tasks after creation across pick waves. If the pick release batch size is small then the current request program will be the most suitable option. The program will first examine the input parameter criteria, which is restriction criteria for what is suitable for bulk picking. The hard coded restriction criteria is that material has to be in a status of unreleased, should not have been released with a status of order picking and should not be cartonized. The following table outlines the concurrent request program input parameters:

1. Navigate to the submit requests window.

2. Select Oracle Warehouse Management Bulk Tasks Generation as the request type.

3. Enter the following parameters:

   • Organization-The user may select any Oracle Warehouse Management enabled organization from where the units of work will be grouped together

   • Move Order (From) / Move Order (To)- The move order range will allow users to specify a from and to move order number. The move order number corresponds to the batch number for pick release.

   • Pick Release Date (From) / Pick Release Date (To)- This allows the user to specify the date range of when material was pick released. Thus the user may want to request that all orders that were pick released today can be batched together.

   • Pick From Subinventory- This is the subinventory from where material is allocated. If the user specifies a subinventory, then only material allocated from that subinventory is examined for bulk picking.

   • Item- If filled in, then only this particular item will be examined by the bulk picking grouping logic.

   • Delivery- This restricts the delivery that is examined for grouping.

   • Trip- This restricts the trip that is examined for grouping. Note that the trip and delivery are independent variables as part of this report.

   • Only bulk enabled items / subinventories- If marked with YES, then only items and subinventories that are bulk pick enabled will be contenders for bulking. If NO, then all items and subinventories are possible targets.

4. Submit the request.

WMS Generate Inbound Dispatching Tasks

You can use WMS Generate Inbound Dispatching Tasks to create parent inbound tasks for received LPNs. This program assigns the task for all the LPNs in receipt based on the putaway task type assignment rule.

1. Navigate to the Submit Requests window.

2. Select WMS Generate Inbound Dispatching Tasks as the name.

3. Select a value for the Organization parameter. This will generate dispatching for all the inbound tasks that belong to the selected organization.

Push Replenishment

The Push Replenishment concurrent request determines the net replenishment quantity and creates replenishment move orders. It contains the following parameters:

• Organization-Warehouse Organization to run Push Replenishment

• Item- Item for filtering demand

• Item Classification- Item classification based on ABC compile

• ABC Compile Group- ABC compile group

• Sales Order Type- Type of sales order

• Customer Class- Customer class for customer referred on the sales order

• Customer- Customer listed on the sales order

• Carrier- Carrier listed on the sales order

• Ship Method- Ship method listed on the sales order

• Days to Scheduled Ship Date- Specified in days for example, +3 days

• Days from Scheduled Ship Date- Specified in days for example, -3 days

• Forward Pick Subinventory- The destination subinventory for push replenishment

• Replenishment UOM- The UOM used to calculate replenishment demand

• Replenishment Lot Size- Rounding quantity for replenishment. The system automatically rounds up to the next lot size.

• Minimum Order Lines Threshold- The minimum order of sales order lines needed for replenishment to occur

• Minimum Threshold for Replenishment-Net demand required to generate replenishment

• Max Number of Items Considered- The number of items considered for replenishment. If you set this number, then only the top items considered based on sort criteria will be considered for replenishment.

• Sort Criteria- Total Demand Quantity and Number of Order Lines

• Release Sequence Rule- The LOV allows you to select a release sequence rule.

• Create Reservation-The Yes and No options lets you decide whether to create reservations during push replenishment.

• Auto Allocate- The system allocates the replenishment move orders

• Plan Tasks- The system uses the warehouse control board to plan the replenishment tasks

Schedule Cycle Count

You can use the Schedule Cycle Count to schedule and generate cycle counts for a zone.

1. Navigate to the submit requests window.

2. Select Schedule Cycle Count as the Name.

3. Enter the following parameters:

   • Organization

   • Zone

   • Cycle Count Header: this LOV displays the cycle count headers that belong to the selected Zone parameter and the cycle count headers defined for all the subinventories

   • Item: this LOV displays the items that are available for the selected Cycle Count Header parameter

Synchronize Dock Doors with Transportation Management

The Synchronize Dock Doors with Transportation Management concurrent program sends all the selected dock doors and their corresponding location information from Oracle Warehouse Management to Oracle Transportation Management.

1. From the Warehouse Manager responsibility, select Outbound Logistics, then select Synchronize Dock Doors with OTM.

2. Enter the parameters such as the Organization and update dates.

3. Click Submit to run the concurrent request to synchronize the dock doors.

4. After you run the concurrent program, verify that it has completed successfully by reviewing its status in the Requests window.

5. After the dock door information is synchronized, you can view the dock doors in Oracle Transportation Management when viewing or setting up appointments (typically in the Manage Appointments page).

Un-archive Oracle Warehouse Management Tasks

You can un-archive Oracle Warehouse Management tasks and return them to the Oracle Warehouse Management history tables. To un-archive Oracle Warehouse Management tasks

1. Navigate to the submit requests window.

2. Select Un-archive Oracle Warehouse Management Tasks as the request type.

3. Enter the following parameters:

   • From Date

   • To Date

   • Organization Code

Launch Task Release Concurrent Request

In the Task Release Setup window, you can create one or more templates that define default options for releasing tasks. To run the task release process, select the desired template in the Launch Task Release concurrent request window, then run the request. When the request runs, the tasks are released according to the conditions defined in the selected template.

Note: You can create or modify task release conditions for a template on the Task Release Setup window. You can create one or more templates.

Cartonization at Task Release

The Launch Task Release concurrent request can perform cartonization across pick release batches based on the cartonization options defined in the Organization Parameters window on the Warehouse tab. Cartonization eliminates suboptimal packing configurations by evaluating grouping rules, carton weight capacity, carton volume, and the dimensions of the items to be packed and suggesting the optimal cartonization options based on the cartons' dimensions.

Warning: This concurrent program Launch Task Release supports only the releases for outbound tasks but not the release of manufacturing (MFG) tasks; therefore, manufacturing tasks will not cartonize through this concurrent program.

To run the task release concurrent request

1. Navigate to the Launch Task Release window.

   

2. Enter the following parameters:

   • Organization Code: Select the organization.

   • Task Query Name: Select the status of the tasks to be released such as completed, pending, uncompleted, or unreleased.

   • Task Release Criteria: Select an existing template with the desired task release criteria.

This concurrent program Launch Task Release does not support manufacturing (MFG) task releasing, only the releases for outbound tasks (the manufacturing tasks will not cartonize). Similarly, the release options on the Task Release Setup window are mainly for outbound tasks too.
