6 Modern View Overview

Order Orchestration Modern View provides select screens for maintaining foundation data . The screens available in Modern View enable you to create, review, update, or delete brands, carriers, boxes, and reason codes. The options available in Modern View differ somewhat from the options you use in Classic View.

Advancing to Modern View

Advancing to Modern View: The Modern View option, enabling you to advance to Modern View, is available to the right of the Documentation drop-down at the top of the Classic View screen.


Illustrates the Modern View link at the far right of the drop-down menu options.

If you have any Classic View screens open when you select this option, a message indicates that any unsaved changes will be lost. The Modern View home screen opens.


Illustrates the Modern View home screen.

Language: When you advance to Modern View, the current language applies. The language is determined by the code appended to the URL; for example, a suffix of it_IT indicates to use Italian. If you switch to a different language while in Modern View by changing the suffix to the URL, the newly selected language for your current session is retained when you return to Classic View. See What are the supported languages? in the Frequently Asked Questions for a list of supported languages.

If Modern View does not display available options correctly: Users might not be able to see the Modern View options if they are not assigned the OBCS_User role or the OBCS_Admin role. See the Administration Guide for more information.

Application data screens available in Modern View: The screens available in Modern View rather than Classic View to work with application data are:

Although these options may be displayed in the Classic View home page and in the drop-down menus, an error message is displayed if you attempt to select any of them.

As in Classic View, authority to each of these options is required through the Roles screen. If the user does not have authority to an option, the Modern View home page does not display it.

Additional ways to update application data: In addition to using the screens listed above to work with foundation data, you can also use the application data web services. See Application Data Services in the Web Services Guide on My Oracle Support (2953017.1) for more information.

Default organization: The organization indicated at the top of the screen is the one specified as your default at the Organizations tab from the Users screen.

Brand Logo URL

The URL for the brand logo to print on the graphical pack slip and pullsheet.

The URL should use https rather than http.

The image prints in the upper left corner of each document if you use the default form, or if your unique form supports it.

If you leave this field blank, no logo prints on the graphical pack slip or the pullsheet.

File format: The image file can be in JPG, PNG, or GIF format.

Image dimensions: The recommended size is 225x50.

Note: Oracle staff need to make sure that this URL is added to the allow list.

Pack Slip Message

The message, if any, to print on all pack slips for the brand. Prints below the sold-to customer name and address in the upper left of the pack slip. This message is also included in the Pack Slip CSV file, if generating the CSV file is specified in the Generate Format setting at the vendor’s Preferences tab.

Your entry can be up to 255 positions, and can include line breaks (carriage returns), but you should preview the pack slip output to make sure that the message fits in the space allotted.

Carriers

Purpose: Use this screen to work with carriers for order shipments. A carrier is required for all sales orders and purchase orders.

Order Administration integration: Carriers in Order Orchestration that correspond to Order Administration ship vias must have codes identical to the Order Administration ship via codes. The ship via code in Order Administration is a 2-position numeric field.

How to display this screen: Select Carriers from the Modern View home screen. See the Modern View Overview for background.

Note:

Only users with Carriers authority can display this screen. See the Roles screen for more information.

Carrier creation and vendor assignment

Assign to vendors: When you create a new carrier with the Active flag selected, or when you select the Active flag for an existing carrier, the carrier is assigned as a valid shipper for all vendors in your organization. The carrier is displayed at the Carriers tab of the New Vendor and Edit Vendor screen, and the Assigned flag is selected.

Otherwise, if the carrier is not flagged as active, the carrier is not displayed at the Carriers tab of the New Vendor and Edit Vendor screen.

Note:

Flagging a carrier as inactive does not prevent you from assigning the carrier to a purchase order through the CreateDSOrder message, and will not prevent the vendor from generating a pack slip using an inactive carrier; however, the vendor will not be able to confirm shipment with an inactive carrier when using the Purchase Order Shipping screen. The vendor can confirm a shipment using an inactive carrier through the shipment upload.

You can use the Carriers tab at the Edit Vendor screen to change the carrier assignments for a vendor. Also, if you change the carrier’s Active setting:

  • if the carrier was previously inactive and you activate the vendor, the carrier becomes eligible to ship packages for vendors it is assigned to.
  • if the carrier was previously active and you change the carrier to inactive, the carrier is no longer eligible to ship packages for vendors it is assigned to.

Creating a carrier through rate shopping with ADSI: If your vendors use the Integrated Shipping screen to confirm shipments, and the shipment specifies a rate shopping service code (carrier code), it is possible that ADSI might return a service code that is not currently a valid carrier in Order Orchestration. In this situation, Order Orchestration automatically creates the carrier code, but does not assign the new carrier to the vendor. See Integrated Shipping Setup, Troubleshooting, and Mapping: Supplier Direct Fulfillment for background.

Carrier creation and sales order assignment

Creating a carrier through the SubmitOrder message: If the carrier specified in the submit order message for a delivery order does not already exist, it is assigned to the order and created automatically using the ship_via as the carrier Code and the ship_via_description as the carrier Description. The new carrier is flagged as Active, but no other settings are selected. The new carrier is not automatically assigned to any existing vendors, but is eligible to be automatically assigned when you create new vendors.

Default carriers:

  • Delivery orders: A Default Carrier is required at the Preferences screen for your organization. This is the carrier that Order Orchestration assigns to orders that do not have a ship via specified in the submit order message.
  • Pickup orders: The default PICKUP carrier is created automatically for your organization, and assigned to all pickup orders, when a SubmitOrder request is received. The default PICKUP carrier:

    • has a Code of PICKUP

    • has a default Description of In Store Pick Up, but you can change it

    • is automatically assigned to all pickup orders

You cannot delete these carriers.

Order Orchestration does not assign these default carriers to vendors.

If the carrier in the submit order message exists but is not currently flagged as active, Order Orchestration changes the setting back to active.

Using a carrier for a delivery order in Store Connect: The carrier on a delivery order is displayed on Store Connect screens and prints on the pick list pull sheet and packing slip; however, the store associate cannot confirm a shipment using a carrier unless both the Display in Store Connect and Active flags are currently selected.

Specifying a carrier to prevent splitting an order: If the Do Not Split Order For Carrier field at the Preferences screen specifies a carrier, the Routing Engine does not attempt to place a delivery order or line by splitting it across locations. See that setting for more information.

Using an API to work with carriers: You can also use an API to create, update, review, count, or delete carriers. See the Web Services Guide on My Oracle Support (2953017.1) for more information.

Option Procedure
create a new carrier
  1. Optionally, select a different organization. See the Modern View Overview for background.

search for a carrier

The existing carriers defined for your current organization are displayed below the selected type. Use any combination of the fields at the top of the screen and tab through the search fields to restrict the search results to matching carriers:

  • Optionally, enter a full or partial carrier description. When you tab through this field, the displayed carriers are limited to those whose descriptions start with your entry, but that don’t need to match completely. For example, if your entry is Ex, the carriers with descriptions of Express Overnight or Express Two-Day or displayed.
  • Optionally, enter a full or partial carrier code in the Carrier Code field. When you tab through this field, the displayed carriers are limited to those whose codes start with your entry, but that don’t need to match completely. For example, if your entry is 2, the carrier codes starting with 2 are displayed.
  • Optionally, select Yes or No in the Express, Available in Store Connect, or Active fields to display matching carriers.

Sort displayed carriers: You can also sort the displayed reason codes by clicking the up arrow (^) or down arrow next to each field title.

Location Types

Purpose: Use this screen to work with the location types within an organization.

What is a location type? The location type describes one or more locations within a organization. Each location type indicates the location category (store or warehouse), and can also provide additional information, such as “East Coast Stores” or “Outlet Stores.”

Location relationships: See Organization, System, and Location for an overview of the relationships among Order Orchestration elements, including location types.

Created how? You must create each location type within Order Orchestration. See Setting Up Data for the Routing Engine Module or Setting Up Data for the Supplier Direct Fulfillment Module for more information.

Use in OCDS or Merchandising Omni Services imports: When you configure your system to import data from OCDS or Merchandising Omni Services, you need to specify the location types to apply when creating store and warehouse locations. See the OCDS Integration tab at the System screen for more information on configuration, and see OCDS or Merchandising Omni Services Imports for background.

Note:

Only users with Location Types authority can display this screen. See Roles for more information.

Roles

Purpose: Use the Roles screen to work with user roles that control:

Admin user: An admin user has authority to all screens and does not need role assignment.

Making roles more or less specific: You can assign each user to one or more roles; for example, you can set up one role to control access to products and another role to control access to order inquiry, and assign a user to both of these roles if needed. You can also set up a single role to control authority to all systems-related options so that you can assign all authority to administrative users more easily.

Note:

The ability of a retailer user to generate specific reports is not controlled by role. For example, if a retailer user has authority to generate reports, but does not have authority to drop ship options, the user can still generate drop ship reports.

How to display this screen: Select Roles from the Modern View home screen. See the Modern View Overview for background.

Note:

Only users with Roles authority can display this screen. See for more information.
