Manage Shipment Interface
Use the Manage Shipment Interface scheduled process for interfacing detail to the source system and Oracle Fusion Cloud Inventory Management and sending an ASN.
When you choose not to defer sending inventory updates to integrated applications, the process submits automatically once the shipment is closed. You can manually submit the process at any time or schedule it for a specific time or interval when you choose to defer sending inventory updates to integrated applications. The process picks up shipment lines that are not interfaced and interfaces them to the inventory interface tables. When you choose not to defer online processing of inventory updates, the inventory interface records are automatically processed. The process adds the shipment details to an Oracle Fusion Cloud Order Management interface table and submits the Process Responses from Order Fulfillment scheduled process. The Process Responses from Order Fulfillment scheduled process updates shipment details on the fulfillment line and moves the shipped line to the next fulfillment task.
When to Use
Use this process when you want to defer the interface at the time of closing the shipment and want to interface the shipment detail to the source system and Oracle Inventory Management as a process at a specific time or interval.
