Sales Freight Request Assumptions

These assumptions apply to the function of Sales Freight Request:

  1. Items are transmitted within the Freight Request integration point at the transaction level.

  2. Since item information is transmitted at the transaction level, you must set up the options and equipment parameters within the Oracle Transportation Management system. After the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system transmits the freight request transmission, you can apply any options and equipment rules from within the Oracle Transportation Management system.

  3. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system does not extract services or non-stock line type items that do not have weight or volume associated with the transaction. Thus, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system bypasses the sales order line during Freight Request and does not select it for extraction. However, if a weight and volume is associated with the transaction, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system extracts the non-stock or service item.

  4. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system transmits the short item number concatenated with the transactional unit of measure and branch/plant to represent the Oracle Transportation Management object packaged_item

  5. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system extracts the sales order override address upon entry of the sales order and update of transportation critical values at sales order update. However, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system does not detect updates to the override address unless accompanied by a simultaneous change in a transportation critical field. Accordingly, you should complete isolated changes to the override address information in the Oracle Transportation Management system.

  6. Order quantities can be expressed in fractional numbers in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system; whereas in the Oracle Transportation Management system, order quantities are always expressed as whole numbers. Therefore, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system extracts order quantities into the packaged item count as a round up whole number at the time the Freight Request Order Release XML is built.

  7. Warehouse pick requests are prevented during sales order entry.

  8. Configured and kit items are processed as discrete (parent) end items. The kit parent item weight and volume are calculated by accumulating the weight and volume of all shippable components.

  9. If a sales order is created with foreign currency, the staged amount contains unconverted decimals. The XML builder converts the decimals.

  10. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system transmits the extended price on the sales order line to the Oracle Transportation Management system by data mapping to the Declared Value element in the Oracle Transportation Management system.
