Direct Allocation

Oracle WMS Cloud allows you to allocate inventory to an order and process the IBLPN to an OBLPN without running a wave through Direct Allocation. This transaction provides the following parameters:

Parameters

  • reuse-lpn - Set the parameter to Yes to enable the system to reuse the same lpn number when creating an OBLPN.
  • prompt-drop – Set the parameter to Yes to prompt for a drop location where you want to drop the OBLPNs.
  • auto-load – Set the parameter to Yes – the system automatically packs and loads the allocated LPN to the OB load. If the auto-load is set to No, then the system consumes the IBLPN and updates the corresponding OBLPN to “Packed” status and IHT records are updated in the inventory history accordingly.

Configuration:

  1. Make sure that the Direct Allocation RF screen is configured in the system with items and orders created in the system.
  2. Define the parameter for the Direct Allocation transaction. The parameters are detailed above.
