Option | Procedure |
---|---|
Flag a system as the organization default |
Select the Organization Default flag and click Save. When you select this flag for a system, it clears the flag for the system that was previously the organization default. See the description of the Organization Default flag for background. Note: The system flagged as the Vendor Default should not be the default system for the organization. |
Flag a system as the vendor default for the organization so that you can create vendors for the organization(Supplier Direct Fulfillment module only) |
Select the Vendor Default flag and click Save. An organization can have only one vendor default system. Once you flag a system as the vendor default for an organization, you cannot change the vendor default assignment to a different system. Note: The system flagged as the Vendor Default should not be the default system for the organization.It is not necessary to specify any additional information for the vendor default system besides the organization, name, and this flag. |
Configure a system
for a RESTful web service connection for interactive inventory updates
(URL) (Routing Engine only) |
OMS integration: See Work with Web Service Authentication (WWSA) in the Order Management System Classic View online help for information on setting up authentication for the CWServiceIn web service. If you enter a user ID at the System screen, it must be in all capital letters. Also, the URL you enter is typically in the format of http://<SERVER>:1234/SerenadeSeam/sxrs/Inventory, where <SERVER> is the server name and 1234 is the port number. See Generic Web Services in the Order Management System Classic View online help for more information. For more information: See Additional Types of Import Processes (Other than RMFCS File Upload and OCDS) in the overview for background, and see the RESTful Inventory Request and Response Messages chapter in the Order Broker Operations Guide for details and more setup requirements. |
Configure a system to receive interactive updates from Oracle Retail Store Inventory Management (SIM) or Enterprise Inventory Cloud Service (EICS) |
For more information: See Additional Types of Import Processes (Other than RMFCS File Upload and OCDS) for a discussion of interactive inventory updates from SIM. |
Configure a system
to require a status update before flagging an order as Polled (Routing Engine only) |
For more information: See Require Status Update for Assigned Orders? for a discussion. Note: This setting does not apply to Store Connect locations, which do not use the fulfillment request and response message. |
Configure a system
to subtract the total reserved quantity when calculating the effective
available quantity of an item in a location (Routing Engine only) |
You can configure a system so that, when Order Broker determines the current available quantity of an item in a location, it subtracts the total quantity currently reserved for orders from the reported available quantity in order to determine the effective available quantity. This calculation helps you prevent overcommitting the inventory for the location. Example: The available quantity reported by a system for a product location is 37; however, the location is assigned to fulfill an order for 4 units, and the order is in new_order status, indicating that the location has not yet polled for new orders and been notified of this order assignment. As a result, the effective available quantity is actually 33 (37-4). You can configure the system to consider order lines in new_order status as reserved, and subtract the total quantity of order lines in this status from the reported available quantity to determine the effective available quantity for a fulfilling location. To configure the system for reserved quantity calculation:
For more information: See Calculating the Available to Promise Quantity for an overview. |
Prevent the Routing
Engine from assigning delivery orders to another location in the originating
system (Routing Engine only) |
You can configure a system so that, when a delivery order originates in a location within that system, the Routing Engine does not assign the order to another location that is also within the system. Example: System A includes locations DC1 and DC2, both distribution centers for the same enterprise sharing the same order database. When DC1 submits a delivery order, you do not want that order assigned to DC2. Note: This setting also prevents the locate items response from including locations within the system submitting the request.To prevent order assignment to a location within the system:
For more information: See the Disallow shopping within same system flag. |
Flag a system as the
Store Connect default (Store Connect module only) |
About the Store Connect system:
For more information: See the Store Connect Overview for background. Note: Once you create any locations for the Store Connect system, you cannot change the setting of this flag for the Store Connect system or for any other systems in the organization. |
Configure communication with Oracle Retail Integration Cloud Service (RICS) for order information |
For more information: See the RICS Integration tab. |

Note:
If you are creating a new system, clicking Cancel prevents the creation.Field | Description |
---|---|
Organization |
See organization. |
System |
See system. The system code can be 1 to 10 positions in length, can include special characters, and must be unique in Order Broker. Required if you are creating a system; otherwise, display-only. Order Management System integration: The code representing the Order Management System system must match the setting of the OROB System (K50) system control value. However, names for systems do not need to be the same as the Order Management System company descriptions. |
System fields | |
Name |
The Name of a system. System names can be 1 to 40 positions in length and can include special characters. Required. |
Organization Default |
Select this check box to flag the system as the default system for the organization. Products in Order Broker can have relationships with every integrated system, but they are defined by the default system. You should load the Order Broker database with the default system’s products first, and then create system products for each additional integrated system. An organization can have only one default system. First system created: The Organization Default flag is selected when you create the first system for an organization, and the flag cannot be unselected at this time. To designate a different system as the default, you need to create another system and flag that system as the default; this unflags the first system. Note: The system flagged as the Vendor Default should not be the default system for the organization. |
Vendor Default |
Select this checkbox to flag the system as the vendor default for the organization. A vendor default system is required before you can create any vendors for the organization. An organization can have only one vendor default system. When you select this flag for a system, it clears the flag for the system that was previously the vendor default. Note: The system flagged as the Vendor Default should not be the default system for the organization.The vendor system cannot originate sales orders or purchase orders. It is not necessary to specify any additional information for the vendor default system besides the organization, name, and this flag. Used for the Supplier Direct Fulfillment module only. Available if Use Vendor Portal is selected at the Tenant screen. |
Store Connect Default |
Select this checkbox to flag the system as the Store Connect system. About the Store Connect system:
For more information: See the Store Connect Overview for background. Note: Once you create any locations for the Store Connect system, you cannot change the setting of this flag for the Store Connect system or for any other systems in the organization.Used for the Store Connect module only. Available if Use Store Connect is selected at the Tenant-Admin screen. |
Inventory tab Available only with the Routing Engine module. |
|
Online |
Select this check box to indicate that this is an online system, meaning that Order Broker requests interactive inventory updates when it receives a locate items request, product availability search request, or needs to select a fulfilling location for a delivery order, either as part of initial order creation or through the status update process About online processing: If Order Broker is unable to retrieve an interactive update from the system, it uses the available quantity stored in the Order Broker database (offline inventory). This available quantity is updated either through a recent online inventory inquiry, or through the most recent inventory download from the system. Typically, inventory levels in the Order Broker database are updated daily, or whenever scheduled by your systems administrator. See Example: Searching for Items for more information. Offline system: If the check box is not selected, this is on offline system, meaning that Order Broker does not request interactive inventory updates; instead, it relies on the available quantity stored in the Order Broker database (offline inventory). Typically, inventory levels in the Order Broker database are updated daily, or whenever scheduled by your system administrator. Changing to offline: You can temporarily change a system from online to offline if you know that communication with the system will not be available and you would like to avoid unnecessary processing time for locate items requests. When you clear the checkbox, the Inventory Service information is retained so that you will not need to specify it again if the system goes back online. Changing to online: When you change a system to online, you need to specify the URL and other inventory service information, described below. For more information: See Configure a system for a RESTful web service connection for interactive inventory updates (URL) or Configure a system to receive interactive updates from Oracle Retail Store Inventory Management (SIM) or Enterprise Inventory Cloud Service (EICS) for setup steps. |
Inventory Qty Export |
Indicates whether to include updated product locations from this system in the pipe-delimited file generated when you run the inventory quantity export for any system in the organization. This setting does not control whether a background job monitors changes that could affect probability rules calculations. See Inventory Quantity Export for information on running the export. |
Track Fulfilled Quantity |
Indicates whether to track the fulfilled quantity for a product location when you ship a delivery order (status is fulfilled), transfer a ship-for-pickup order (status is intransit), or when a pickup order is picked up (status is fulfilled):
Used when? You might use this setting for a system that periodically updates inventory levels based on activity outside of Order Broker and also receives information on fulfilled orders through status update requests, but uses the fulfilled quantity to calculate a more accurate available to promise quantity in the interval between product imports. Note: The above settings are available for selection regardless of whether the system is flagged as Online.For more information: See below for examples of the calculations for each setting. Examples of fulfilled quantity updatesTrack Fulfilled Quantity set to Do Not Track Fulfilled: A product location has:
The location is assigned a new delivery order for a quantity of 2:
The order is fulfilled:
The next time the system updates the product location through a periodic product and inventory import or an interactive inventory update, it resets the available quantity to the current level. Track Fulfilled Quantity set to Reset During Inventory Export: A product location has:
The location is assigned a new delivery order for a quantity of 2:
The order is fulfilled:
The Fulfilled Inventory Export runs:
The next time the system updates the product location through a periodic product and inventory import, it resets the available quantity to the current level if it is different. Track Fulfilled Quantity set to Reset During Product Import: A product location has:
The location is assigned a new delivery order for a quantity of 2:
The order is fulfilled:
If the Fulfilled Inventory Export runs, there is no update. The product and inventory import runs, passing an available quantity of 3 as a result of additional activity within the system:
The fulfilled quantity is not subtracted from the available quantity, since the product and inventory import provides the most current inventory level based on all activity. |

When to disallow shopping? You might use this field to disallow shopping if your OMS system, such as Order Management System, supports multiple warehouses and each warehouse is represented as a separate location in Order Broker. |
Order Fulfillment Order Management System setup: If you send orders to Order Management System warehouses for fulfillment, check Order Management System Setup for Polling for more information. |
|
Require Status Update |
Fulfillment response message: Indicates whether to automatically flag an order or line as Polled when it is included in the fulfillment response message, or to continue including it in the fulfillments response message until the assigned location sends a status update message accepting the order:
Intransit response message: If the Require Status Update flag is:
Polling count: The polling count for the order line is initially set to 0 when it is in transit. Each time the Routing Engine includes an order or line in the intransit response message, it increases the order line’s Poll Count. Unlike the rules for the fulfillment response, the rules for the intransit response do not include generating the Order Broker Polling Status Email when an in transit order exceeds the Polling Retries specified for the system. Note: The setting of this flag does not affect Order Fulfillment through RICS Integration. |
Use Requesting System Line Number in Status Update |
Controls how the line_no in the status update request identifies the order line to update when the Allow Split Line preference is selected but the Allow Partial Updates preference is not. Applies to specific configuration only: The line_no is interpreted as the originating system's line number ONLY if:
Otherwise, the line_no identifies the current line number in Order Broker. Example: The configuration described above is in place. The originating location submits a status update request to cancel line 1, referencing its own line number rather than the Order Broker line number. Line 1 originated with 4 units, but has since split across 2 locations, resulting in lines 1 and 2 in Order Broker for 2 units each, with an originating line number of 1. The result is that the update request cancels both order lines. Otherwise, if the configuration described above is not in place, or if the originating location did not submit the status request, only the first of the two lines is canceled. When the organization has Allow Split Line selected and Allow Partial Updates unselected, this flag should be:
Note: When the Allow Partial Updates preference is selected, the requesting system needs to first obtain the current line numbers in Order Broker before submitting a status update. |
Polling Retries |
The number of times to include the order or line in a fulfillment response message before including the order in the Order Broker Polling Status Email.
Required. Order Broker tracks the number of retries in the Poll Count field at the Order screen. Note: This setting does not apply to Store Connect locations, which do not use the fulfillment request and response message. |
System Ops Email |
The email address where Order Broker should send the notification email listing orders that have not been acknowledged after the number of Polling Retries has been reached. If you enter multiple email addresses, separate each with a semicolon (;). Order Broker verifies that the email address you enter are formatted correctly. Optional, even if the Require Status Update flag is selected. |
Reservation tab Use this tab to indicate the order or order line statuses to subtract from a location’s available quantity in order to determine the quantity that is actually available to fulfill new orders. Typically, the reserved statuses for a Store Connect system are New Order, Accepted, Picked, and Polled. Inventory quantity export: Changes to the reserved statuses at this tab do not trigger probability rule calculation for the inventory quantity web service, as described under Tracking Probability Rules for Incremental Updates on Inventory Availability; however, these changes do factor into the calculation for the Full Overlay Inventory Quantity Extract File. See Probability Rules Update and Incremental Quantity Web Service for background. Available only with the Routing Engine module. |
|
Include Reserved |
Select this check box to have Order Broker subtract reserved order lines from the reported available quantity for a product location. This calculation helps you prevent overcommitting inventory when assigning orders, responding to locate items requests, or evaluating selected fulfilling locations. If this check box is selected, the Reserved Statuses listed below are available for selection. Once you select any statuses and click update, Order Broker calculates the total reserved quantity for each product location in the system currently assigned to any selected status. For more information: See Calculating the Available to Promise Quantity for an overview. |
Reserved
Statuses These statuses are available for selection if you select the Include Reserved checkbox. Select each status that indicates that inventory is reserved for an open order line and should not be assigned to new orders or listed in the LocateItems response message. For more information: See Calculating the Available to Promise Quantity for an overview. Possible statuses are:
Typically, reserved statuses for your Store Connect system are New_Order, Accepted, Polled, and Picked. |
