Scenario 1: Multiple Order Consolidation Mode

When you process sales order lines through the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Transportation Management system, the system assigns shipment numbers to the order lines based on the shipment consolidation mode that you select. The Transportation Management system offers four shipment consolidation modes:

  • Multiple Order Consolidation

  • Single Order Consolidation

  • Transactional Consolidation

  • No Consolidation

See "Setting Up Transportation Constants " in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Transportation Management Implementation Guide.

The shipment consolidation mode affects how the system assigns shipment numbers when releasing order lines from fulfillment. This appendix discusses a scenario for each shipment consolidation mode and how the system assigns shipment numbers to released order lines and unreleased order lines.

In the Multiple Order Consolidation mode, the system consolidates order lines from multiple orders to a single shipment.

In this scenario, we have three orders for customer 4242. Because of multiple order consolidation, the system assigns the same shipment number to each order line of every order for customer 4242.

The original shipment number (802) consists of three orders and a total of seven order lines. This table illustrates the details of the original shipment number before running the Release from Fulfillment report (R4277703):

When you run the Release from Fulfillment report the system:

  • Releases all quantity for Order 1

  • Partially releases quantity for Order 2

  • Does not release any quantity for Order 3

The following tables illustrate the results of fulfillment processing in the Multiple Order Consolidation mode:

The released quantities for each order line remain on the original shipment number (802). The system assigns a new shipment number (803) to all unreleased order lines.
