Shipments

This page is accessed via Sourcing > Historical Shipments > Shipments or Cooperative Routing > Historical Shipments > Shipment.

A Sourcing shipment is a record of each historical shipment.

The Shipment page in Oracle Transportation Sourcing provides the details of a sourcing shipment, including the source and destination locations, start and end dates, weight, volume, stops, cost, transport mode, etc. You may enter new shipments using this page, view an existing record, update the fields on an existing record or delete a record. You also have the ability to assign a shipment record to one or more Shipment Sets using the Add to Shipment Set action.

These shipments are also used for Cooperative Routing. Note that these shipments are different from Oracle Transportation Management buy shipments so running queries with similar dates will return different data.

1. Click New to create a shipment.
2. Enter a Shipment ID. If you leave this field blank, Oracle Transportation Management automatically generates a value when you complete the shipment creation process. Entering a value in the field overrides the automatically generated shipment ID.
3. Enter a Rate Lane ID.
4. Enter a Source Location ID and Destination Location ID.
5. If the shipment has a transport mode of VESSEL-CO, enter a Source Port ID and a Destination Port ID.
6. Enter a Start Date and an End Date.
7. Enter Weight and Volume.
8. Optionally, enter the Service Provider ID. The service provider ID is the carrier responsible for transporting the shipment.
9. Enter the Transport Mode ID. The transport mode ID field defines the mode used for the shipment; for example, truck load, less than truck load, rail, air, etc. The transportation mode effects how the shipment is planned.
10. Optionally, enter the Average Activity Time.
    
    When sourcing shipments are pulled in using Build Shipment Set, the average activity time is determined as follows: the total activity time of the Oracle Transportation Management shipment is averaged based on the number of shipment stops.
11. Enter the number of stops in the Stops field.
12. If the shipment has a transport mode of TL, enter the number of stops in the Pickup Stops and Delivery Stops fields.
13. Enter the Cost. This is required for cooperative routing.
14. If you want, enter a Shipment Category. This is user-defined. The cooperative routing aggregator counts the number of shipments in a forecast that have the same category.
15. Enter the shipment's total Distance traveled.
    
    If the shipment was moved over from Oracle Transportation Management using the Build Shipment Set action, the distance field is populated with the shipment's distance as determined by the Oracle Transportation Management rate distance ID on the Oracle Transportation Management rate offering.
16. Circuity Distance displays the shipment's total distance traveled minus the distance between the shipment's first pickup stop and last delivery stop.
17. Enter an Equipment Group ID.
18. If the shipment has a transport mode of TL or ocean, enter the Equipment Count for the shipment.
19. Enter a Commodity ID. This defines a single commodity for a shipment. Multiple commodities are not allowed.
20. Ship Unit Count displays the total ship unit count for the Oracle Transportation Sourcing shipment. The ship unit count includes all ship units regardless of the type. For example, if the Oracle Transportation Sourcing shipment has three euro pallets and seven 4x4 pallets, the ship unit count will be ten.
    
    This field only applies for shipments with a transport mode of TL.
21. Select the OTM Shipment check box if this shipment is also an Oracle Transportation Management shipment.
    
    If the shipment was moved over from Oracle Transportation Management using the Build Shipment Set action, this check box will be selected automatically.
