Order Release Ship Unit

This page is accessed via:

• Order Management > Order Release > Order Release. Click the Ship Unit tab. Click the New Ship Unit button.
• Order Management > Order Release > Order Ship Unit.

This page displays the attributes that you can define for each ship unit.

Note: The order configuration you are using may result in some of the fields mentioned below not actually appearing on the interface you see. This is normal.

Adding Ship Units

Note: If the Pick-Up Stop ID is null, this ship unit is picked up at the order’s Source Location. If the Drop-Off Stop ID is null, this ship unit is dropped off at the order’s Destination Location. Pick-up/Drop-off Stop ID fields show StopSequence:LocationID or StopSequence:LocationName.

1. Enter a Ship Unit ID. The ID field identifies the ship unit that you are shipping. Enter a unique ID or leave the field blank to generate an ID based on the default Business Number Generator rule for ship unit ID.
2. Select a Transport Handling Unit to define what the item is shipped on, such as a pallet. Transport handling units are a type of ship unit specification.
3. Enter the Transport Handling Unit Count.
4. Enter the Total Gross Weight, Total Gross Volume, Gross/Net Weight and Volume per Ship Unit and choose a unit of measurement for each.
5. If you permit repacking of ship units, select the Allow Repack option. During shipment building process, if this option is selected, shipment ship units will be rebuilt from those order ship unit lines which belong to the ships units with Allow-Repack as true if the rebuilt shipment ship units result in a cheaper cost. Otherwise, they will not be repacked.
6. Priority: There are multiple levels where Priority can be defined for an item to be used in equipment packing. This works in the following hierarchy: Ship unit (highest precedence), THU, Packaged Item (if multiple packaged items exist for a single ship unit, the one with the greater load configuration rank associated is considered) and finally, Item (lowest precedence). If the ship unit level priority is not defined, then the ship unit takes the priority defined on order. The priority used in equipment packing (derived from this hierarchy) is persisted on the shipment ship unit. This helps in understanding what priority is used when analyzing the shipments. These parameters need to be on to use ship unit level priorities: USE PRIORITY IN CONOPT SORTING and PRIORITY IN USE.
7. Select a Flexible Commodity Qualifier.
8. Enter a Commodity Code.
9. Enter the Length, Width, Height, Diameter, and Core Diameter per Ship Unit. See also Ship Unit Height Calculation.

   Note: The property glog.business.equipment.allowRotation impacts how the ship unit fits in the equipment.

10. Select the Order Release Equipment.
11. If a ship unit with a quantity of 0 or 1 can be split into multiple ship units and placed on multiple shipments or multiple equipment, select the Bulk Splittable check box.
12. The Count Splittable check box applies when the ship unit count is 2 or more. If it is selected, you can split one or more (but not all) ship unit pieces of this ship unit. If not selected, you cannot split by piece.

    Note: The Splittable option on the Order Release header overrides these so it must be selected in addition to either of these.

13. Enter the Net Weight and Net Volume per Ship Unit with their units of measurement.
14. Enter Tags.
15. Enter a Load Configuration Setup ID in the Load Configuration Setup field.
16. Select the Exclusive Use check box if the ship unit should not be mixed with any other ship unit whether the same packaged item or in the same bulk mixing family.
17. The Pick-Up Stop ID and Drop-Off Stop ID appear when you navigate from order Release with Stops menu option and the order is a multistop order.

Special Service

1. Select a Special Service Group from the drop-down list.
2. Enter the Special Services ID.
3. Click Save.

   Note: You can enter multiple special services. Remember to click Save after entering each one.

Ship Unit Equipment Reference Unit

You can select Equipment Reference Units (ERU) to limit the number of specific units being loaded on a specific Equipment Group. If any ERU level information is provided on the ship unit, it overrides any defined on the ship unit specification.

1. Enter an Equipment Reference Unit ID.

Note: Enter either Equipment Reference Units Per Ship Unit or Total Reference Units field. If you enter both the values, the Total Reference Units takes precedence.

1. Enter the number of reference units in the Equipment Reference Units Per Ship Unit field. This value will be multiplied by the transport handling unit count to calculate the total reference units used during shipment building.
2. Enter a value in the Total Reference Units field.
3. Click Save for each equipment reference unit you enter.

Seal Numbers

1. Enter the Seal Number with which the ship unit is associated for the order.
2. Click Save for each seal number you enter.

Loading Split

This allows you to insert/update/delete a loading split specified with length, width, height, weight and volume. This grid is available only when the ship unit count is 1.

For a multi-leg scenario, loading split decisions are made for one leg (the first leg planned), and these initial loading split decisions are carried over for the same ship unit on different legs. The pallets that are split on the first planned leg (this could be any leg in the multi-leg itinerary) must be split and packed while planning the other legs of the itinerary and those which are not split on the first planned leg are never split on the legs that are planned subsequently in the same itinerary.

Lines

This section displays the line items that are included on each ship unit and the amounts (such as counts, weights, and volumes) of each line item per ship unit (as opposed to amount on a line item for the entire order). An order release ship unit must have at least one line item defined.

If this order release was created from an order base that was released by ship unit, Oracle Transportation Management automatically assigns a packaged item called DEFAULT for each ship unit record and the weight and volume of the ship unit are assigned.

If this order release was created from an order base that was released by item, then released packaged items appear on the list with the Total Net Weight/Volume and Count.

1. Click the New Line Item button to manually add a ship unit line item.
2. Select a Line. Use this field to associate a line item with multiple ship units. For example, you may have multiple ship units on an order but the item that is included in each is the same other than differences in weight, count, etc. Select the item that you want to associate with the ship unit you are adding/editing and click Save. Then edit the packaged item and save your work.

Select Line

Note: This section will only be displayed for releases which are created by line. It will only show order release lines which are not already part of this ship unit since there is no reason to add a line to a ship unit more than once. Since these fields come from the order release line's associated order base line, they make no sense on stand-alone order release. If you select multiple records to add to the ship unit, OTM will automatically copy the Total Package Count, Packaging Unit, Packaging Unit Count, Net Weight, and Net Volume fields from the selected order release line to the associated ship unit line.

This section displays information about ship unit lines associated with the order release. You can add multiple lines if necessary.

Order Base Details

This section will only appear if the ship unit is associated with an order base.

The Order Base ID field will show the ship unit's associated order base. The Ship Unit Count and Released Count fields come from the associated order base ship unit. The Remaining Quantity field is derived from those fields. These three fields are hidden if the Order Base Ship Unit ID is blank.
