Send Interface Transmission

You can send business object data to external systems from the various Oracle Transportation Management managers. For example, you can send shipment transmission data from the Shipment Manager and Order Base and Order Release data from the Order Manager.

When you send an interface transmission, the manager packages all the information and publishes a Send Integration topic. Oracle Transportation Management then activates a trigger that listens for the topic and does the work of sending out the XML document.

Note: If you are using this interface as part of the Send Financials Feed action, see that topic for more detailed information on this action and interface.

When sending the Billing Interface Transmission, you can determine if buy shipment related details display in the outbound Billing XML or only the sell shipment related details display by using the property "glog.integration.Billing.Shipment.IncludeBuyShipmentDetails".

To send an interface transmission you must first define the external system that receives the data.

Sending an Interface Transmission

1. Choose Send Full Text or Send Summary Only. If you select Send Full Text, Oracle Transportation Management sends a complete record to the external system, which consists of all the information for the object you are sending. If you select Send Summary Only, Oracle Transportation Management sends only the ID of the record you selected to send to the external system.
2. Enter text in the Remarks field to add a comment describing the transmission being sent.
3. Select the External System to which you want to send the transmission. If the External System does not exist yet, you can create it here.
4. From the drop-down list, select Notify Type. This tells Oracle Transportation Management how to send the transmission. The default value is controlled by the glog.integration.notify.ui.default property.
5. Select the Transaction Code.
6. Select the Reference Object Transaction Code.
7. The Guarantee Delivery check box is reserved for future use.
8. Click Send.

Send Allocation Interface

The Send Allocation Interface action is used for various objects including shipments (buy and sell shipments), vouchers, and order releases. Click Actions and choose Utilities > Send Allocation Interface from the list. This sends out the allocation XML.

Note: This action, when run against the Voucher, Invoice, Order Release, Buy Shipment, or Sell Shipment Managers, can only be run on one object at a time.

Event Reason

Each time an interface transmission is sent, you can have Oracle Transportation Management prompt you for the reason. To enable this functionality, set up event reasons.
