Example of Confirming Shipment of Lines for a Work Order for Outside Processing

In this example, an operator in manufacturing generates a work order to manufacture an assembly item with multiple operations, and one of the operations is a supplier operation.

The prerequisites before processing the work order are:

  • Oracle Supply Chain Orchestration creates a purchase requisition for the required outside processing of the work order's supplier operation.

  • Oracle Purchasing approves the requisition and generates a standard purchase order for outside processing of the partially finished assembly for the work order.

  • The work order progresses to complete the first operation for the full quantity.

  • Manufacturing calls on the supply chain orchestration process to enable the shipping of the partially finished assembly by creating shipment requests. The supply chain orchestration process also communicates the shipment request details, including the work order details and the purchase order details to Oracle Shipping.

  • A shipping user confirms the shipment of the partially finished assembly to the outside processing supplier within Shipping.

Confirm Shipment of Lines

To confirm shipment of lines for an outside processing work order, the warehouse manager:

1. Queries for shipment lines of the type outside processing on the Manage Shipment Lines page.

2. Records the shipping quantity and other shipping details on the Edit Shipment Lines page after reviewing the details of the work order, purchase order, and end assembly for these shipment lines. This action triggers automatic creation and assignment of the lines to a new shipment.

3. Queries the assigned shipment number on the Manage Shipments page and records the shipment details (such as shipping method, waybill, freight terms, and so on), and then confirms the shipment.

Based on the default ship confirm options, the shipment is confirmed and closed at the same time. While closing the shipment, an event is published for outside processing. The supply chain orchestration process listens to the event, updates the supply order appropriately, and initiates the updates on the work order. The warehouse manager can now query the work order within Manufacturing to verify the shipment and the shipped quantity details on the supplier operation.

Note: For consecutive supplier operations, goods move from one supplier to the next directly. The last supplier ships the goods back to the original manufacturer.

Confirm Shipment of Lines for Partial Quantities

In this example, the criteria is the same as the first scenario except that the warehouse manager splits the shipment lines into two or more partial quantities. Each quantity is recorded and assigned to separate shipments, which the warehouse manager must ship confirm and close.
