Overview of Integrating Order Management with Transportation Management

Integrate Order Management with Oracle Transportation Management or some other transportation management system that resides outside of Oracle so it sends sales orders for transportation planning, and receives updates at fulfillment milestones, such as plan complete or proof of delivery.

  • Leverage your transportation management system so it can efficiently plan transportation.

  • Optimize the shipment that ships each sales order and minimize freight costs while meeting your customer delivery requirements.

  • Use Transportation Management to schedule and optimize shipments, finalize the transportation plan, tender shipments to carriers, and send updated schedule dates to Order Management, providing the Order Manager with visibility to the new shipment schedule.

  • Enable your users to search sales orders according to scheduled ship date, scheduled arrival date, actual delivery date, or transportation planning order.

  • Update Order Management after the customer receives shipment. Use updated dates and statuses to identify exceptions and control orchestration process flow.

  • Provide final delivered status after the item ships.

  • Enable Order Management to use the same process for a change order that it uses for the original sales order.

  • Invoice each sales order only after delivery.

  • Get a delivery notification when fulfillment delivers the shipment.

  • Implement an end-to-end flow with Oracle Inventory for shipments.

Order Management sends order status details to Transportation Management when you create, revise, or cancel the sales order. Transportation Management plans and does fulfillment, sends updated scheduling details to Order Management, then Order Management displays them in fulfillment views in the Order Management work area.
