Selected Shipping Bug Fixes in This Update

This update includes some bug fixes that can change the way Oracle Shipping works. This isn't a full list of all the bug fixes in this update. This list includes the bug fixes that can cause a noticeable change in application behavior.

Prevent Ship Confirm of a Transfer Order when Lot Uniqueness is Violated in the Destination Inventory Organization

Prior to this update, you could create a transfer order for a lot-controlled item between a source inventory organization with the Lot Uniqueness organization parameter set to No uniqueness control and a destination inventory organization with the Lot Uniqueness organization parameter set to Unique across items. However, upon receipt in the destination inventory organization, you would receive this error message: You cannot use the lot specified because it violates the lot uniqueness rule defined for the item or organization (WSH-2460578). This resulted in an in-transit shipment that couldn't be received in the destination inventory organization. After the update, ship confirm is now prevented in the source inventory organization. You can then backorder the item, select another lot that doesn’t violate lot uniqueness, and proceed with ship confirm.

Delay Submitting Attach Shipping Documents to Shipment Scheduled Process

During the ship confirm process, the Attach Shipping Documents to Shipment scheduled process is submitted to attach the output of the shipping document process to the shipment. Prior to this update, the process couldn't attach the shipping documents if the Shipping Document job set didn't submit the shipping document process in time or if the shipping document process took more than 120 seconds to complete. With this update, we've introduced a 120-second delay in executing the Attach Shipping Documents to Shipment scheduled process to address this issue. If the 120-second delay is not enough for the shipping document process to complete and the scheduled process is not attaching the shipping documents, log a service request with support so that we can evaluate and provide information on increasing the delay.

Send Manifest Request for Shipments Without Customer

Prior to this update, the Send Manifest Request scheduled process could only be completed for the shipments created when the customer was selected as an Optional Shipment Grouping Attribute on the Manage Shipping Parameter setup. With this update, you can now send a manifest request for shipments even when the customer isn't set as an Optional Shipment Grouping Attribute.

Retrieve More Than 500 Serial Numbers Using Shipment and Shipment Line REST Resource

Prior to this update, you could only retrieve 500 serial numbers for a shipment line with more than 500 serial numbers using the Shipment and Shipment Line REST resource. With this update, you can now retrieve all serial numbers associated with the shipment line using limit and offset parameters.

Stop Signature Generation for Portugal Shipments When Previous Signature Isn't Generated

All Portugal shipping documents must have a unique, autogenerated e-signature. The values used for creating an e-signature are confirm date, document number, gross amount, and previous signature. Prior to this update, the e-signature was generated without using the signature of the last document in case the previous signature couldn't be generated. With this update, if a signature can't be generated for a document number, the signatures won't be generated for all the subsequent document numbers, and the shipping documents won't be generated. You must submit the Generate E-Signature on Shipping Documents scheduled process to generate the signature for failed shipments and to complete the rest of the Portugal shipping document flow for the shipment. Additionally, you can use the Ship-from Organization parameter in the Generate E-Signature on Shipping Documents scheduled process to generate the signature for all the shipments in an organization without the signature and complete the rest of the Portugal shipping document flow.
