Track Supply for Partial Shipments

Keep up-to-date with the latest changes in supply and manage supply requests in your back-to-back flow even when you ship only part of the order line.

Assume only some of the quantity for your order line is available to ship, Oracle Shipping splits the line, ships the quantity that's available, then Order Management splits order line 1 into two fulfillment lines, fulfillment line 1-1 and fulfillment line 1-2. Line 1-1 has the quantity that's available to ship. Line 1-2 has the quantity that isn't yet available to ship.

Supply Chain Orchestration doesn't close the supply order when Oracle Shipping ships line 1-1. Instead, Supply Chain Orchestration keeps the supply order open until Shipping also ships line 1-2, or until Oracle Order Management cancels the request. Supply Chain Orchestration continues to orchestrate changes in demand and supply for line 1-2 as long as the supply order remains open.

Realize these benefits:

• Save time and work more efficiently. You don't have to manually create a new line for supply that isn't yet available. Supply Chain Orchestration will automatically manage supply that Shipping hasn't yet shipped.
• Track how much supply you have used even when Shipping has shipped only line 1-1.
• Get timely updates so you can accurately track the progress that Supply Chain Orchestration is making to create supply for line 1-2.
• Reduce or eliminate supply disruptions for line 1-2. Supply Chain Orchestration will automatically update supply so it has the latest details for your line.
• Modify line 1-2, and Supply Chain Orchestration will manage that change in your purchasing, inventory, or manufacturing organization.
• Manage an interruption to supply on line 1-2 in the same way that you do when you haven't partially shipped the line.
• Manage supply recommendations even when you have partially shipped one or more of them.
• Manage any number of shipments.
• Track each partial or full cancellation.

Guidelines

• • If you need to take action on line 1-2, then you must revise your sales order and submit the revised order. Supply Chain Orchestration will process the change and send it to your downstream applications.
• If you modify the warehouse or the item on line 1-2, then Supply Chain Orchestration will cancel the supply order and make that supply available to other demand. It will also cancel any new supply that it's currently creating for line 1-2. Supply Chain Orchestration will do this even if you enable the Defer Online Processing of Inventory Updates shipping parameter for the warehouse.
• If you enable the Defer Online Processing of Inventory Updates shipping parameter for the warehouse, then Supply Chain Orchestration won't use the Improve Supply Tracking for Sales Orders in Your Back-to-Back Flows feature for that warehouse.
• The split behavior in Order Management doesn't affect your purchase orders, work orders, or transfer orders.

Use This Feature with Other Features

You can enable the Improve Supply Tracking for Sales Orders in Your Back-to-Back Flows feature, which automatically enables Order Management's Update Attributes On Split Order Lines For Partial Shipments feature, or you can enable only the Improve Supply Tracking for Sales Orders in Your Back-to-Back Flows feature.

Features That You Enable	Description
Enable only the Improve Supply Tracking for Sales Orders in Your Back-to-Back Flows feature.	Supply Chain Orchestration keeps the supply order open, and it will track supply for line 1-2 until Shipping ships line 1-2. You can modify the scheduled ship date or warehouse on line 1-2, and Supply Chain Orchestration will automatically update supply so it has the latest details for line 1-2. You can't modify the quantity on line 1-2 after Shipping ships line 1-1.
Enable both features.	You can modify the quantity, scheduled ship date, or warehouse on line 1-2 even after Shipping ships line 1-1. Order Management will use your revised values to fulfill the line and Supply Chain Orchestration will automatically update supply so it has the latest details for the line. If you enable the Update Attributes on Split Order Lines for Partial Shipments feature, then you also automatically enable the Improve Supply Tracking for Sales Orders in Your Back-to-Back Flows feature. For details, see Update Attributes on Split Order Lines for Partial Shipments.
Don't enable either feature.	Supply Chain Orchestration will close the supply order as soon as Shipping ships any part of the order line, and Supply Chain Orchestration won't track any other modifications that you make on the line. You can't modify the quantity on line 1-2 after Shipping ships line 1-1.
