When using a transportation management planning system, there are specific items or situations where the goods must be picked and packed before the transportation management system can create the actual transportation plan. Generally, this occurs when the products have variable weights, volumes, and dimensions that must be recorded and provided before accurate transportation plans are made. Prior to this update, when Oracle Shipping was integrated with a transportation management system, shipment lines were only eligible for picking and packing after the transportation plan information was sent back from the transportation planning system. Now, you can pick and pack shipment lines even when they're still pending transportation planning.

This feature allows you to more accurately plan the transportation of your goods when integrating to a transportation management system and shipping goods with variable weights, volumes, and dimensions.

Tips And Considerations

  • Use this feature if you want to allow picking or packing before your transportation management system plans and sends the transportation shipment information.
  • Suppose a shipment line assigned to a shipment or packing unit is planned for multiple transportation shipments. In that case, the system retains the shipment or packing unit for only one transportation shipment and removes it from the lines planned for other transportation shipments.
