Build Buy Side Shipment

International shippers are primarily concerned about planning and booking their primary leg (ocean/air). Subsequent inland legs are a concern only after they have determined the primary leg. Therefore, planners require the ability to plan an order in chunks or order movements. However, forwarders tend to manage their process from the sell/quote perspective. This means that they may quote an entire move (the sell shipment), but when they are actually ready to book the ocean leg, they need to plan that single chunk based on sell routing. In practice, the planner would select the sell leg to plan that piece of the buy side, book the resulting buy shipment, then select the inland legs and plan the buy side.

When running this action, Oracle Transportation Management evaluates the rate record assigned to the sell shipment. If either the Buy Rate Record Profile or Buy Service Provider Profile is valued on this rate record, planning is constrained to only select a rate from the specified rate records or rate records with the specified service providers.

The following logic is followed when running this action:

• Build Buy Shipment from Sell Shipment
• • Identify the sell shipment leg.
  • If the sell rate is marked as Contract Rate then stop, otherwise continue.
  • Find the related sell order movements.
  • Create the buy order movements from the sell order movements.
  • Determine if the rate on the sell shipment leg limits viable buy rates.
  • • Find the rate record for the related sell shipment leg.
    • • If the buy Rate Record Profile or buy Service Provider Profile fields are populated on the rate record, then they will be honored when selecting valid buy rates for this buy shipment leg. Otherwise, normal rate finder logic is used.
  • Build the buy shipment from the buy order movement.
  • Save the newly created buy shipment legs.

• Create Buy Order Movement from Sell Side Logic
• • Create an order movement record with the following info:
  • • Copy the following from the sell order movement
    • • Sequence, Order Release ID
      • Source and Destination Location of each order movement.
      • Leg ID, Creation Process Type
  • Dates should be populated using the same logic using with the existing create order movement logic. This will give the least restricting windows based on what was sent in on the order.
• Create an order movement detail record for each ship unit on for the sell order movement.
• • Create new ship units and save the order movements.
