Company and Facility UI

Company UI

Configuration Overview

The Company UI provides centralized access for managing critical company-level settings, including security policies, decimal precision, unit of measurement (UOM) preferences, and company activation status.

Company Security Configuration

This section manages the password policy and login attempt settings across the organization.

Setting	Description	Default Value
Min Password Life (days)	The minimum time (in days) a user must wait before changing their password again.	`1`
Max Password Life (days)	The maximum time (in days) a password can be used before requiring a reset.	`365`
Min Password Length	Minimum number of characters required in a password.	`8`
Max Failed Login Attempts	Number of incorrect login attempts allowed before an account is locked.	`10`
Password History Count	Number of previous passwords stored to prevent reuse.	`3`

These settings enhance password hygiene and reduce the risk of unauthorized access.

Decimal Setting

The Decimal Setting defines the level of precision allowed for numerical fields related to quantities, weights, volumes, and dimensions within the system.

Setting	Description	Value
Password	Required to authenticate changes in decimal settings.	`••••••••`
Maximum Quantity Decimal Precision	Maximum number of decimal places allowed for quantity-related values.	`8`
Maximum Weight/Volume/Dimension Decimal Precision	Precision for weight, volume, and dimension fields.	`6`

Ensuring appropriate decimal precision supports accurate inventory tracking and shipping measurements.

Note: Only administrators with the appropriate permissions should perform this action.

UOM (Unit of Measure) Configuration

Defines the default units used across the company for weight, volume, and dimensions.

Setting	Description	Example Value
Password	Required to make any UOM configuration changes.	`••••••••`
Weight UOM	Default unit for weight measurements.	`Kilogram`
Volume UOM	Default unit for volume measurements.	`Liter`
Dimension UOM	Default unit for dimension (length, width, height).	`Centimeter`

How to Create a Company

Creating a new company in the system requires filling out essential company information and configuration details.

Below is an explanation of the fields you need to complete and their purposes.

Required Fields for Company Creation

Field Name	Description	Required
Company Code	Unique identifier code for the company.	Yes (*)
Company Name	Full legal or trading name of the company.	Yes
Address 1	Primary address line (street, PO box).	Yes
Address 2	Secondary address line (optional).	No
Address 3	Additional address info (optional).	No
Locality	Local area or district within the city.	No
City	City or town where the company is located.	Yes
State	State, province, or region.	Yes
ZIP	Postal or ZIP code.	Yes
Country	Country of the company’s headquarters.	Yes
Phone Number	Main contact phone number.	No
Email	Primary contact email address.	No
Contact	Name of the main contact person.	No
External Reference Number	Optional external ID or reference number used for integration.	No
Custom DB Name	Name for the company-specific database (if applicable).	No
Employer Number	Employer or tax registration number.	No
Custom Field 1 to 5	Additional customizable fields for company-specific data.	No
Reload Literals When Changing Company	Checkbox to refresh language literals and settings upon switching companies from the UI.	Optional
Image	Upload a logo or image associated with the company. Important Notes on Image Upload: Uploaded images are automatically compressed and resized by the system, which may reduce image clarity. The default Oracle WMS logo displayed in the UI is a PNG image with dimensions of 119 pixels (width) x 25 pixels (height). The Oracle logo is not downloadable as a typical image file, which suggests it is optimized internally. To achieve similar clarity as the default logo, it is recommended to upload a PNG image of size 119x25 pixels.	Optional

Steps to Create a Company:

Navigate to the Company Management section in your UI.
Provide a unique identifier for the company (mandatory).
Choose whether to reload UI literals when changing to this company (if applicable).
Attach a company logo or related image to personalize the company profile.
- Larger images or different formats may be resized or compressed, resulting in a loss of sharpness.
- Currently, there are no official guidelines published for optimal image size, but following the above recommendation helps maintain logo clarity.
After verifying all information, save the new company record to register it in the system.

Note:

The Company Code is critical and must be unique to avoid conflicts.
Custom fields can be tailored to your organizational needs and integrations.
The reload literals option is useful in multi-language environments to ensure UI text reflects the correct language or regional settings.
Uploading an image helps visually identify the company in dashboards or reports.

Facility UI

Facilities are controlled at the company level. This means, that every company has its own set of facilities. This link is defined in the “Parent Company” column in the “Facilities” screen. By default, all parent and child company facilities are displayed.

Functional Field Description
Field	Description
Default Ship Via Code	This field is used when ‘ship via’ codes are activated through the company’s “PACKING_ROUTING_MODE” parameter. The system will default to this ship via value if the order header does not have a ship via code specified.
Parent Company	Indicates the company that the facility belongs to.
Accept Transfer Shipment	If checked and if this facility is a warehouse in WMS, this facility will accept ASNs from other facilities configured in the environment.
RF Inactive Timeout in Minutes	Enables set up a time limit for inactive timeout in minutes. This parameter works along with the timeout settings on the customer's network (for example: configuring keep alive/time-to-live in PuTTY). So if the time-to-live configuration is less than the WMS screen parameter, the session will end on the network side before the wms parameter time limit.
Priority	Set the priority for the facility. The Facility Priority value takes precedence for orders created from Order UI having priority value as blank
Time Zone	Choose the time zones of the facility from the drop-down.
Bonus Amt Per User	You can provide incentive to warehouse employees to increase their productivity. This configuration is provided for WMF users.
Cust field 1-5	Fields to enter more information.
Latitude	Enter the latitude component of the facility geo coordinates to calculate distance between facilities, stores and sites or identify routing logic and so on. You can enter more than 8 decimals in the field.
Longitude	Enter the longitude component of the facility geo coordinates to calculate distance between facilities, stores and sites or decide routing logic and so on. You can enter more than 8 decimals in the field.

Go to the “Facilities” screen.
Click the Create (+) button.
Populate the facility’s information such as the Code, Name, and Address.

Oracle WMS Cloud supports spatial awareness of locations through different levels of location information - Area, Aisle, Bay, Level, Position and Bin. In addition, the system also supports fields on location for spatial awareness such as:

X Coordinate - This field will hold the x-axis value of the location in a 3 dimensional space. The data type of this field will be same as the length field in location.
Y Coordinate - This field will hold the y-axis value of the location in a 3 dimensional space. The data type of this field will be same as the length field in location.
Z Coordinate - This field will hold the z-axis value of the location in a 3 dimensional space. The data type of this field will be same as the length field in location.

Location Coordinate Base UOM

The Location Coordinates Base UOM field holds the UOM of X,Y,Z coordinates of location such as kms, meters, yard, feet, miles that belong to DIMENSION UOM class.

Note: This button is permission controlled. You need to enable the "Facility/Change Facilities" to access this button .

Select the facility record from the Facility UI.
Click Location Coordinates UOM button. This will open the dialog box with following fields:
1. Password: This is a required field and needs admin’s password to proceed.
2. Location Coordinates UOM: Select the Location Coordinates UOM from the drop-down list. This list the UOM descriptions of all UOM Codes where UOM Class Code is DIMENSION.

If a value is already selected from the drop-down list and user attempts to save with a different UOM, the system display confirmation message "Existing Data will not be converted. Proceed with changing UOM?

Click OK to proceed.

Set Decimal Setting for Location Coordinates

You can set the max decimals allowed for the coordinate values for your facility through the Decimal Setting Location Coordinates action button.

Select the facility record from the Facility UI.
Click the Decimal Setting for Location Coordinates action button. This will open the dialog box with following mandatory fields:

Note: This button is permission controlled. You need to enable the "Facility/Change Facilities" to access this button.

[Decimal Setting for Location Coordinates]

1. Password: Enter user password to proceed.
2. Max Decimal for Coordinates: Set the maximum decimal coordinates ranging between 0-25.
Click Submit.

If the new value configured is less than the existing value, then system display confirmation message "The decimal setting will be applicable only to new data. Existing data will not be changed".

Note: Whenever you change the decimals coordinates, the system keylogs in the facility UI. For example, if the current value of Max Decimals for Location Coordinates is changed from 2 to 5, the system logs a message "Max Decimals for Location Coordinates changed (2 to 5) by <login_id>".

Step 3: Assign Facilities to Users

Once you have created the Companies and Facilities, the next step is to assign them to users. This step defines the list of companies and facilities that you will have access to.

Go to the “Users” screen.
Select the user to modify.
Click on “Eligible Facilities”.
Using the Create (+) button, add the Facilities that this user will have access to.
Repeat steps three and four for adding Companies (using the “Eligible Companies” button). [Assigning Users to Facilities and Companies]

The following is an example of a User/Group set up:

[Sample User/Group set up in WMS]

Edit Message Configuration for Facilities
