Configuring for Order Processing: User Interface Configuration

Order Base/Order Release Manager

The Order Configuration field on the order base and order release manager layouts should be set to default to the desired configuration.

Oracle Transportation Management provides various fields on the line and ship unit such as Total Gross Weight/Volume, Gross Weight/Volume per Ship Unit, and Net Weight/Volume per Ship Unit. Since the settings on the order configuration will indicate the data to be entered and data to be calculated, it may be helpful to make some of the calculated fields read-only or hide them.

Actions

A few actions allow you to configure them. They work much like the managers which have been made configurable. One of the actions which has been made configurable is the Ready to Ship action on both the order base line and order base ship unit managers. To configure one of them you would:

2. Search for READY_TO_SHIP_OB_LINE or READY_TO_SHIP_OB_SHIP_UNIT.

5. Click Finished to save your new screen layout.
6. Open the Actions manager.
