Enhancements to the Planned Parcel Shipment Interface
Warehouse operators can partially ship an externally planned order detail, depending on the inventory availability. Once parcel manifests are shipped from Warehouse Management (WMS), the corresponding planned parcel shipments are closed in OTM. The remaining order quantities of an order can be further planned with a planned parcel shipment from OTM.
When order lines are planned under a planned parcel shipment number and WMS only ships these order lines partially, OTM plans the transportation exclusively for the shipped OBLPNs within the planned parcel shipment number. However, if you attempt to ship the remaining order lines using the same planned parcel shipment number, the pre-built integration may fail because the shipment has already been marked as closed at OTM.
To overcome this challenge, WMS now automatically splits planned order lines once a parcel manifest is closed, if the order lines are partially shipped. This allows OTM to plan the outstanding order lines, with the same or different carrier and service types, based on operational requirements.
After closing a manifest with OBLPNs related to a partially shipped order detail which is populated with a planned parcel shipment, the system auto-splits the partially shipped order line (creating a new order line with the non-shipped quantity).
Example:
Order Detail - Before closing a parcel manifest:
|
Order Number |
Sequence |
SKU |
Ordered Quantity |
Allocated Quantity |
Shipped Quantity |
Planned Parcel Shipment Number |
Order Detail Status |
Original Order Detail Sequence Number |

Order Details - After closing a parcel manifest (with 8 quantities):
The system auto-splits the order detail and creates a new order line without a planned parcel shipment number.

Points for Consideration:
- When a planned parcel shipment is associated with multiple order details across multiple orders, closing a parcel manifest carrying the planned parcel shipment splits all partially shipped order details.
- For order details with required serial numbers, the system updates the serial numbers based on the ordered quantity during partial shipments.
NOTE: The system allows you to replan the new order detail again. OTM can replan the new order details with another planned parcel shipment and same ship via.
If you replan the order detail with a new planned parcel shipment number and a different ship via, the system creates a new order with the remaining quantity by deleting the new detail from the original order.
This applies to both Parcel and TL/LTL type orders, particularly when a TL/LTL type order goes through transportation split and partially shipped or when a parcel is manifested with partial shipments.
If you plan a TL/LTL type order that has gone through transportation split, but the quantities associated with the external planned load are not shipped, the system displays an error message “Order is already planned for TL/LTL. Order: ORD% and Sequence: Seq%”.
The newly created order will have the same 4-part key as the original order. To maintain a reference to the original order, the following changes are made:
- A new column Original Order Number is added to the Order Detail screen and OB Orders (OBOrdersView_FW) UI.
- A new field “orig_order_ref_id” is added to the Order Detail GET API.
On the Order Detail and OB Orders screens, a new filter Original Order Number is added which allows you to easily locate records based on the original order number.

After replanning the order detail with another ship via and a new planned parcel shipment number, the system creates a new order and deletes the previous order line.

NOTE: The system restricts modifying order quantity for an order (post partial shipment of an order detail populated with a planned parcel shipment) through Order UI, Order Interface, and Order Patch API.
OUTPUT INTERFACE CHANGES
After a manifest is closed, WMS generates an actual shipment file. To facilitate tracking of the original order number for replanned order details, we have updated the following output interface files to include “original_order_number'” in the parcel manifest detail section.
- Parcel Manifest
- Shipped Load
- Shipped Load-ics
When some order details under an externally planned order do not have a planned parcel shipment number, you can now manifest all eligible OBLPNs via the “Manifest” action button in the Order Header UI. On closing a manifest, the system displays a warning message, and you can proceed to manifest all eligible OBLPNs irrespective of the planned parcel shipment number.
IHT UPDATES
The system records the “Original Order Number” in the REF Value 14 field with REF code 14 as OON in the following Inventory History Transaction (IHT) records.
- 3 - Container Shipped
- 10 - Container Detail Packed
- 11 - Container Packed
- 12 - Order Detail Shorted
- 27 - Order Cancellation
- 31 - OB Container Modified
- 32 - OB Container Cancelled
- 54 - Container Detail Picked
- 75 - Order Detail Substitution
- 85 - Order Detail Status Change
