Drop Ship Integration Values (H20)

Purpose: Use this screen to indicate whether you will use the Order Broker Drop Ship Integration to process drop ship orders, and to define the values used to pass information.

About the Oracle Retail Order Broker Supplier Direct Fulfillment module: The Supplier Direct Fulfillment module in Order Broker provides an internet-based, collaborative environment for retailers and vendors to share and process information related to drop ship orders. If you use Order Broker to process drop ship orders for a vendor, your system generates a drop ship purchase order and automatically transmits the purchase order information to Order Broker, where your vendor can access it through a browser window. You must purchase the Order Broker Supplier Direct Fulfillment module.

For more information: See Order Broker Drop Ship Integration.

System control values on this screen:

• Use OROB Drop Shipping (H13)

• Drop Ship Lead Days (H36)

• OROB Account (K49)

• OROB System (K50)

• OROB Default Location (K51)

Use OROB Drop Shipping (H13)

Select this field if you are using Order Broker to process drop ship purchase orders.

This value determines whether:

• You can assign a Drop ship output setting of OROB Drop Shipping to a vendor.

• The CDC async job processes drop ship transactions for your company.

At least one company in your environment must have this system control value selected in order for you to start the CDC async job.

Leave this field blank if you are not using Order Broker’s Supplier Direct Fulfillment module to process drop ship orders.

Drop Ship Lead Days (H36)

Enter the number of days you want to add to the data passed to Order Broker to calculate the Expected ship date stored in Order Management System for a drop ship purchase order line. If you enter a value in this system control value, the date passed to Order Broker is: Arrival date + CDC Drop Ship Lead Days + vendor lead days.

The date stored in Order Management System for the drop ship order line is: Arrival date + vendor lead days + drop ship lead days (the Lead days specified for the vendor item).

For more information: See:

• Assign Drop Ship Expected Ship Date (I59) for a list of screens, reports, and notices that indicate the expected ship date.

• Supplier Direct Fulfillment Backorder Notice Processing for a discussion of how the expected ship date is calculated.

OROB Account (K49)

This system control value is not currently used as part of the integration with Order Broker’s Supplier Direct Fulfillment module.

See OROB Account (K49) under the Order Broker Values (K15) for information on how the integration with Order Broker’s Order Broker module uses this system control value.

OROB System (K50)

System name field: Use this field to specify the system code identifying your company in Order Broker for integration with the Supplier Direct Fulfillment module. The system code must be the same as your Order Management System company number.

This system code is passed as the requesting_system_cd in all request messages to the Supplier Direct Fulfillment module. For example, if your Order Management System company number is 2, you can set this field to 2 (not 002; omit padding zeroes unless that is how you created the system code in Order Broker).

Also used with Order Broker module: The integration with the Order Broker module also uses this system control value. See OROB System (K50) under the Order Broker Values (K15) for more information.

Leave this field blank if you do not integrate with Order Broker’s Order Broker or with Order Broker’s Supplier Direct Fulfillment module.

OROB Default Location (K51)

System name field: Use this field to specify the location code identifying your default warehouse in Order Broker for integration with the Supplier Direct Fulfillment module.

The location code is passed as the requesting_location_cd in the CreateDSOrder message to the Supplier Direct Fulfillment module. This message creates the drop ship purchase order in Order Broker.

The location code must match an existing location code in Order Broker for the OROB System (K50).

Also used with Order Broker module: The integration with the Order Broker module also uses this system control value. See OROB Default Location (K51) under the Order Broker Values (K15) for more information.
