Parcel Manifest Components in Oracle WMS Cloud

• Carriers:

The courier company that transports the parcels (eg. UPS).

• Carrier Facilities:

Screen used to configure login credentials to the courier’s server.

• Ship Via Codes:

Carriers can have different Ship Via Codes. Ship Vias are the different services offered by carriers (eg. UPS Ground).

• Manifests:

Manifests are the parcel equivalent of “Outbound Loads” with LTL shipments. When shipping via parcel carriers, a Manifest is opened for each carrier being used. Manifests are documents that will provide details of a shipment such as:

• The Carrier and Ship Via used
• The outbound cartons numbers
• The SKU and Quantity of each outbound carton

To have both LTL and Parcel orders in WMS, the ship via must be enabled. The following displays a summarized diagram of the overall process:

LPN Assignment to Manifests

Outbound cartons are assigned to an open manifest based on their ship via.

Example: If orders ship via UPS Ground, the outbound cartons for those orders is assigned to the manifest opened for this Ship Via’s carrier.

When Parcel Manifests are closed, the outbound cartons assigned to these manifests will have their status changed to “Shipped”. Outbound cartons are considered “manifested” when they get assigned a manifest.
