How You Use the Deliver-to Inventory Organization Time Zone When Fulfilling Supply Chain Demand

You can use the Use the Deliver-to Inventory Organization Time Zone When Fulfilling Supply Chain Demand feature to use the time zone specified on the inventory organization definition for deriving the local time zone for delivery and shipping locations.

With this feature, Oracle Order Management back-to-back sales orders, Oracle Supply Planning, and Oracle Manufacturing can communicate the requested delivery or shipping dates to Procurement in the time zone of the deliver-to and ship-to organizations. This ensures that the requested dates on purchase requisitions aren’t past dates as per the time zone specified in the deliver-to organization in the upstream applications.

Here are some of the considerations for using the feature:

  • In the requisition import program (FBDI or Purchase Request Web Service), the requested delivery date and requested ship date are validated according to the local time zone of the destination inventory organization.
  • The requested delivery date also defaults for requisitions created using the requisition import program or manually entered in UIs. The default date is the current date in the destination inventory organization time zone plus the number of days in the offset profile: POR: Requested Delivery Date Offset.
  • For requisitions for one-time locations, the requested delivery date is according to the time zone of the default deliver-to organization in the Requisitioning BU.
  • You can't use this feature for purchase requests for drop ship sales orders. For drop ship sales orders, the requested delivery and ship dates are currently validated according to the time zone of the legal entity of the inventory organization. If the legal entity time zone isn't enabled, the date validation is based on the UTC.
  • For internal material transfers, the requested delivery date of the requisition line is converted from the inventory organization's local time zone to the UTC zone for transfer order creation.
