Order Routing Rules allow you to define preferred shipping methods.

Order Routing Rule/Guide provides customer sales representative and/or sales order booking users, the ability to estimate the freight cost for an order. Oracle E-Business Suite's Order Management (OM) would normally use this via OM – OTM integration look-up capability for shipping an order. Stand alone look-up capability is also supported in OTM. This look-up, also called Order Routing Inquiry, typically takes in sales order information like ship from/to, weight, volume, customer, etc as inputs and lists possible Shipping Methods, Freight Costs, and Transit Time.

There are multiple ways to run the order routing inquiry. You can use:

• Ask Oracle Routing Rule Inquiry - Inputs provided in the user interface and applicable shipping methods are displayed as results.
• Order Routing Inquiry Integration - inputs are provided as inbound XML message and applicable shipping methods are sent out as an outbound XML message.
• Assign Order Release Rule Agent Action - Inputs in the form of order release creation or modification trigger the necessary agent and applicable shipping methods details (service provider, transport mode, and rate service) are updated on the same order release as constraints.
