How Shipping Documents are Created for Outside Processing

This topic explains how shipping documents for outside processing are created and managed.

Settings That Affect Shipment Line Creation

Shipment lines for outside processing are created based on the setting of the Generate Shipment attribute of the work order supplier operation.

How Shipping Documents Are Created And Managed

Oracle Fusion Cloud Manufacturing Service sends a request to Oracle Fusion Cloud Orchestration Service to create a shipment line when the goods are reported as complete at the operation prior to the supplier operation to ship the goods to the supplier.

Oracle Orchestration Service creates a Supply Order Line based on the request sent by Oracle Manufacturing and orchestrates the automatic creation of a shipment line of Outside Processing order type in Oracle Fusion Cloud Shipping. For such shipment lines, Oracle Shipping maintains and displays manufacturing details such as work order, operation, and end assembly.

The shipment line is then associated with an existing shipment or a new shipment. The shipment is then confirmed and closed. Based on the options set for the Ship Confirm Rule, the processes to Print Packing Slip and Bill of Lading are initiated automatically.

Alternatively, these documents can be printed on demand for shipping the goods to the supplier for outside processing.

Oracle Orchestration Service maintains and tracks the details of the shipments, such as Shipment Number and Shipment Line that are related to outside processing.
