How Transfer Orders and Shipping Integration is Processed

Transfer order processing is integrated with Oracle Shipping. You can pick, pack, and ship transfer order lines in Shipping.

You can also generate shipping documents for a transfer order.

Settings That Affect Transfer Order and Shipping Integration

Supply chain orchestration rules affect transfer order processing when integrating with shipping. These rules determine if a transfer order is routed directly through Oracle Shipping, or through Oracle Fusion Cloud Order Management. Shippable transfer order lines are interfaced to shipping directly from the transfer order pages in Oracle Fusion Cloud Inventory Management.

How Transfer Orders Are Processed Through Shipping

Oracle Shipping plays a key role in transfer order processing. The following parameters are important components of the transfer order and Shipping integration:

• Shipping can generate shipping documentation for transfer order lines.

• A transfer order line initially maps to one shipment line.

• Ship confirm updates the shipped quantity on transfer order lines.

• Shipping can accept a shipment line with internal locations for ship-to locations.

• Shipping validates the update of shipping-relevant attributes on transfer orders.

• Lines for return transfer orders are treated similar to the ones in the original transfer order, but are identified separately with an order type of return transfer order.

• Transfer orders that do not require physical return of material are not interfaced to Shipping.

• Shipping can generate transfer order shipping cost records to pass to Costing.
