Creating Orders in WMS

There are two ways to create Orders in WMS:

  1. Manually from the UI
  2. Interfaces

Manually Create Orders from the UI

To create an Outbound Order (Sales Order), go to the Order Headers screen and click Create.

After creating the order, you must specify the items being ordered and their respective ordered quantities.

To manually add SKUs to an Order in the UI:

  1. Select the order record and click on Details (). This takes you to the Order’s details, where you can enter the items and quantities.
  2. Click Create () and populate the Item Code and Ordered Qty.
  3. Click “Save”.
    Note: The “Order Details” screen is also available to view multiple Order details at once.

Create Orders Through the Interfaces UI

You can also create orders through an Oracle WMS Cloud Excel template. Based on the column headers, users must populate select fields in the template when creating an Order.

Preparing the Input Interface file:

Follow the rules below to use the Oracle WMS Cloud interface correctly:

  • The filename must start with the phrase “ORR”.
  • Populate the columns specified as ‘required’ in the interface specification document.
  • Populate [H1] for every distinct Order number and [H2] for its details (see figure below).
  • Populate the correct sequence in the ‘seq_nbr’ field (i.e. no duplicate values).

Creating Multiple POs in the Same POS File

The figure above shows an example of a file that will create three different Orders. You can create multiple Orders within the same ORR file by using the “headings” column to differentiate one order from another. A ‘[H1]’ value denotes a new Order Header record, while a ‘[H2]’ value denotes a new Order Detail record.

Upload the Interface into WMS

  1. Go to the “Input Interface” screen.
  2. Use the drop-down to select the appropriate interface.
  3. Click on “Upload Files” and navigate to the file you wish to upload.
  4. When the file displays in the screen, click “Run Interface”.
  5. The system returns a message dialog notifying you that the file has been successfully processed.
