Setting Up Confirm Shipments and Confirm Loads for Agreements

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Agreement Management system enables you to make agreements to borrow product from your partner and not take possession of the product at your depot. In these situations, your partner's branch/plant is referred to as a foreign depot.

To use a foreign depot, you must select the Foreign Depot constant for your partner's branch/plant in the Branch/Plant Constants program (P41001) in Inventory Management.

The system uses the branch/plant that you identify when you set up the agreement to search for contracts that include the foreign depot as the source.

To assign borrow agreements during ship confirmation, set the processing options on the Agreements tab in the Shipment Confirmation program in Sales Order Management. You can use this program or the Work With Shipments program (P4915) in Transportation Management to confirm the shipment. The Work With Shipments program calls the Transportation Shipment Confirmation program (P49645), which in turn calls the Shipment Confirmation program.

To assign borrow agreements during load confirmation in Transportation Management, you must set the processing options on the Agreements tab for the Transportation Load Confirmation program or for the Shipment Confirmation program. If the transaction refers to a vehicle that is compartmentalized, as indicated by the load type, the system calls the Transportation Load Confirmation program. If the vehicle is not compartmentalized, the system calls the Shipment Confirmation program.

In the processing options on the Agreements tab for the ship and load confirmation programs, you identify this information:

  • The branch/plants for the agreement search program to use as the destination.

  • The type of assignment (selection type) to occur.

    Note: If you leave the selection processing option blank, the system assigns the agreement with the earliest expiration date. Unlike the order entry programs, you do not need to set the selection type for assignment to occur. The system requires an agreement number for borrow assignments that involve foreign depots.
