Fulfillment Processing and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Transportation Management

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Fulfillment Management system processes sales orders that are processed through the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Transportation Management system. This diagram illustrates the process:

Typically, the sequence of events is:

1. Enter sales order.

2. The Transportation Management system creates shipments.

3. The system determines whether to enter the sales order lines into fulfillment processing.

   When order lines are released from fulfillment, the system adjusts the shipment quantities as appropriate to accommodate partial shipments.

4. Approve shipments.

5. Print pick slips.

6. Confirm shipments.

7. Run Freight Update.

8. Print invoices.

9. Update sales information.

When processing sales orders through the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Transportation Management system, the system assigns shipment numbers to order lines at sales order entry. When the system does not allocate inventory to sales order lines, the unreleased sales order lines remain on the same shipment number as the released sales order lines. When this occurs, the system does not process shipments until all of the sales order lines have been released.

In order to not hold up shipments, you can activate the processing option in the Release from Fulfillment report (R4277703) to create a new shipment number for the sales order lines that remain in the fulfillment process. To ensure that shipment numbers are properly assigned to fully unreleased order lines, the Release from Fulfillment report runs a version of the Remove Unreleased Lines from Shipments report (R4277707).

See "Running the Remove Unreleased Lines from Shipments Report (R4277707)"

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Transportation Management system assigns shipment numbers to order lines based on the shipment consolidation mode that you select. See Scenarios for Shipment Consolidation Mode
