Shipping Logistics Logic mainly includes
1. Packaging. Ability to package multiple layers of nested packages. and notifies the user of the special packaging method for the order.
Packaging can be done at the time of picking, and can be done as a standalone operation.
2. Make a dock reservation for the itinerary, enable the warehouse manager to plan the booking of the library transportation company, the availability of the terminal door and the use of the waiting area in the warehouse.
3. Picking method, for different orders to pick the goods need to choose a different method of picking.
4. Manage pick-up. Enables orders to be picked based on mobile handheld applications or based on paper picking
5. Cantonization, in the process of fulfilling the order, select the appropriate quantity and size of the container.
6. Standard label, use the standard label you set up to print a specific label
7. Shipment phase/union and loading, can combine multiple partially filled containers/lpns into fewer and more optimized containers.
8. Dispatch verification and shutdown, immediately notify Oracle WMS what material. How many quantities and what containers have been picked or loaded, and which should be deducted from the inventory.
9. Warehouse management Control Panel, Warehouse management Control Panel provides a real-time snapshot of the worker process in multiple areas of the warehouse, which enables the warehouse manager to adjust his staff to a region that may lag behind other regions.
10. Wave picking provides a graphical way of querying. Enables you to build a wave pick based on a combination of several selection criteria. Include order lines. Container, delivery, itinerary. Recipient. Shipping method, delivery address, order revenue, customer delivery plan, shipping company, etc.
11. The generation of picking release tasks and the allocation of inventory. The order of picking tasks is determined by the generation of wave picking. Priority is determined based on user-definable rules. Includes the Pick method. Workloads. The pick route. Inventory allocation rule order.
Storage and Device Management overview
1. Self-replenishment, provide inventory and MRP replenishment plan. Dynamic replenishment. Replenish goods directly from the receipt.
2. Advanced batch and serial number control, including support for batch separation, merging and renaming.
3. Container management enables users to track content in whatever receipts, WIP, inventory, shipping and in-transit containers.
4. Material status control, indicating whether the material can be used in which business.
5. Kanban (Kanban) management, which supports internal and external vendor Kanban.
6. Task assignment, instruct the warehouse personnel to assign to the necessary tasks. The warehouse area location, and the equipment needed to complete the assignment.
7. Inventory business, promote the goods into the warehouse, out of the warehouse and the movement inside the warehouse.
8. Cycle count/Physical inventory. Enables multiple users to pass items, locations. Picking frequency. Days. Inconsistencies, expected receipts, etc. to define the counting conditions. Full physical inventory and auditing of physical inventory at startup is also supported.
9. A workflow based on exception management that helps warehouse managers improve the effectiveness of their business operations by configuring real-time alerts and workflow-based supply chain event reminders.
Example. When the number of employee picks is less than the quantity required for the order, the workflow sends a reminder to take inventory of the location.
Reverse Logistics Overview
L RMA (return Material Authorization), using orcle Warehouse management to record receipt and inspection of customer returns. The item for which the goods are received. Dates and quantities can be verified by RMA.
L supplier Returns (returned to supplier return to Vendor RTV) so that the material is returned to the appropriate supplier from the purchase order or purchase agreement of the previous receipt.
• Refurbishment and recycling. Provides Oracle service and Depot repair support for business processes that require advanced reverse logistics and repair services.
Value Added Services
L Kitting/dekitting, support kit to Stock (supported by work order-less completion) and kit to Order (via pick Toorder support).
L mixed node production. Support for order production (ATO), based on project/Order design (ETO), discrete and recurring/process environments at the same time.
L Picking of production components. Support for picking by the mobile user interface for WIP (work in process).
L Product Commitment label enables you to print product-specific labels based on user-defined product commitment tagging rules.
L vas/Production Quality inspection, based on the configuration, the system voluntarily generates physical movement transactions to move an item from the production area to the quality control inspection area.
L integration with Pjm,flow and OSFM. Warehousing management can be integrated with project management, process manufacturing and shop floor management.
Rules and Rules Engine
The rule engine provides a store for customer restrictions and business policies that are related to your warehouse.
• Customer restrictions and business policies are implemented and enforced as rules for the rule engine.
L rules are defined and implemented directly from the standard oracleforms. When you define and implement rules. You do not have to write your own defined code.
L You build the rule by providing a list of values to choose from.
LPN (License Plate Numbers)
A LPN represents a random object that exists in a position and holds an item.
L all items received through ORACLEWMS are associated with a unique LPN.
This makes the item easier to track and transact in the warehouse. There is no need to scan for items, quantities, batches or serial numbers.
Oracle WMS provides total visibility into inventory items stored in LPNs. A LPN may be a container. But it does not need to represent a physical entity. It can be as simple as labeling on some item sets. Oracle WMS enables users to track. transacted, and nested (combined) LPNs extremely their content.
Using LPNs
You can use the LPNs to do these things:
L receive the goods through LPN. Storage and pick-and-order.
L View the hands by LPN.
L handle multiple items in one transaction through LPN.
L Print Labels and reports to reference the contents of the container.
L track nested LPNs, such as the cartons on the pallet (where the pallet is a LPN and each carton has its own LPN).
Item Status
Item state Control expands the item status control function by providing an additional control and transaction control area.
In addition to being able to specify transactional behavior at the item level, the item state control enables you to place the sub-inventory, location. The batch or serial number level specifies the item status. This allows you to specify which transactions are agreed and which are not agreed to for inventory items.
The item status also enables you to query through the current state of the item. It also enables you to generate and view a historical change report of the item status in the warehouse.
Warehouse Management Control Panel
The Warehouse Management Control Panel provides a snapshot of the real-time progress of all work in the warehouse for the warehousing manager. It enables warehouse managers to do the following things:
L provide activity types and resources to manage work tasks
L track the work process and instruct his personnel to be in a potentially backward area.
L Once again assign a task that has been accepted by an employee to another employee.
Integration point of warehouse management system
Integration of warehousing systems with the following systems
L Purchasing (Purchasing)
L WIP (work in process)
L Stock (Inventory)
L Shipping (Shipping)
L Order Management (Ordermanagement)
L Production (manufacturing)
L Cost (Costing)
L Quality (qulity)
Warehouse management uses the same setup steps as inventory. Just a few changes have been made to some aspects.
Example. Warehousing uses the sub-inventory and location that you define in inventory. Warehouse management is tightly integrated with inventory and enhances its functionality and adds new functionality.
The WMS uses the same setup steps for inventory, but when implementing WMS you have to consider additional properties.
Because inventory is required when using WMS, inventory attributes have to be considered when implementing WMS.
Mobile Application and Warehousing management
The mobile application enables you to enter transactions in real time and accept system-assigned warehouse tasks.
Mobile applications represent mobile handheld devices that can help reduce costs and increase efficiency as transactions are processed.
Mobile Application integration
Mobile applications provide a mobile interface for very many transactions that are now done on the desktop. As part of the Oracle EBS scenario, the mobile application is with Oracle Manufacturing, Oracle Quality, Oracle Shipping and oracleinventory integration. For example, in receiving, mobile applications and receipt transactions, quality detection, rmas and cross-Library integration.
In Manufacuturing, the mobile application provides a mobile application interface for move,scrap/reject,completion transactions, resource transactions, and work orderless Assemblies. Quality data can also be entered in a transactional process. The mobile app provides similar integration for flowmanufacturing.
Oracle quality provides an interface to collect quality data and view specific instructions on mobile devices.
Oracle inventory supports miscellaneous transactions and inter-organization transfers on mobile devices. Cycle counting. Physical inventory and provides the ability to view on-hand inventory.
The pick and ship process integrates Oracle Order management and Oracle procurement to provide accurate drawings of orders on the move in the process.
The entire solution is integrated with the label printing scheme, complete the entire process.
Data identifiers
The data identifiers agree to a scan outside the order by associating a different prefix for each type of data to be scanned.
The mobile device is positioned before the data is placed to the correct location on the device. The prefixes are removed on their own initiative.
Oracle Warehouse Management supports data field identifiers (DFI), which include a prefix barcode that identifies the value included in the barcode.
There are 3 steps to using this feature:
To set DFI, the prefix can be associated with a field on a mobile device. Other than that. DFIs can be specified as required or optional.
Multiple DFIs can associate a specific order to indicate a matching order.
For example, to set DFI for item, the text "Dfi=p+,p+p,p req=n" will be registered on the AK Prompt form.
This tells the mobile server to look for the following dfis: "P+ on Order", "p+", "P", "P". It also indicates that the DFI is optional. This means that suppose the server finds a DFI. It will be removed.
However, the entire barcode will be used if it is not found.
In addition to setting DFI. Mobile devices must be configured to have an ASCII control character in front of the barcode to indicate to the mobile server that the data comes from the barcode and looks for DFI.
DFI removal, when a mobile device recognizes a barcode scan, it checks for all matching DFIs. Suppose a DFI is found. It removes the DFI and inserts the remaining data into the current field.
Scan outside of the order. Suppose the page contains a DFI field that is scanned outside of the order. Moving the server removes the DFI and immediately puts the value on the appropriate field. The cursor remains on the current field. However, the value of the scanned field is inserted.
You only need to scan the field outside of the order to handle the appropriate validation.
