Oracle Backlog Management typically schedules order lines to ship on the day that supply becomes available at the fulfillment location. It delays fulfillment only if it reschedules a same-day order after the cutoff time. However, some organizations need extra time to package and label goods, arrange for transportation, or perform quality checks before shipment. You can now add extra pick-pack lead time for these activities that can vary based on the fulfillment organization, carrier, and destination. Any pick-pack lead time you specify will offset the scheduled ship dates and scheduled delivery dates for order lines fulfilled in those organizations.
