Shipping Logistics Logic mainly includes

1. Packaging, can be multi-layered nested packaging, and inform the user to order the special packaging method. Packaging can be done at pick-up time or as a standalone operation.

2. For the itinerary to make a pier reservation, you can enable the warehouse manager to plan the transportation company's reservation, the availability of the terminal door and the use of the waiting area in the warehouse.

3. Pick method, for different orders to pick the need to choose a different method of picking.

4. Manage pick-up so that orders can be picked based on mobile handheld applications or based on paper picking

5. Cantonization, during the fulfillment of the order, select the appropriate quantity and size of the container to be needed.

6. Standard label, use the standard label you set up to print a specific label

7. Shipment phase/union and loading, multiple partially filled containers can be combined/lpns into fewer and more optimized containers.

8. Dispatch verification and shutdown, immediately notify Oracle WMS What materials, how many quantities and what containers have been picked or loaded, and those 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 areas.

10. Wave picking, provides a graphical query method, so that you can build a wave pick based on a combination of several selection criteria, including order lines, containers, delivery, itinerary, recipient, shipping method, delivery address, order revenue, customer delivery plan, shipping company and so on.

11. The generation of pick-up tasks and the allocation of inventory, the order of picking tasks is determined by the generation of wave picking, and priority is determined based on user-definable rules, including picking methods, workloads, picking routes, inventory allocation rules orders.

Storage and Device Management overview

1. Automatic replenishment, provide inventory and MRP replenishment plan, dynamic replenishment, directly from the receipt of goods replenishment.

2. Advanced batch and serial number control, including support for batch separation, merging and renaming.

3. Container management enables users to track the contents of any 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, guide the warehouse personnel to the necessary task assignment, warehouse area location, and complete the equipment needed to assign the task.

7. Inventory business, promote the goods into the warehouse, out of the warehouse and the movement inside the warehouse.

8. Cycle count/physical inventory, so that multi-user can be through the material, location, picking frequency, days, inconsistencies, expected receipts and so on to define the counting conditions. Full physical inventory and audit physical inventory at startup are 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. For example, when the number of employees picking is less than the order requirement, 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. Goods received, dates and quantities can be verified according to RMA.

L supplier Returns (returned to supplier return to Vendor RTV) so that the item is returned to the appropriate supplier from the purchase order or purchase agreement of the previous receipt.

• Refurbishment and recycling, providing 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 hybrid node production, support for order production (ATO), based on project/Order design (ETO), while discrete and repetitive/process environments.

L Picking of production components, support for picking by the mobile user interface for WIP (work in process).

L Product Commitment label allows you to print product-specific labels based on user-defined product commitment tagging rules.

L vas/Production Quality inspection, based on the configurable, the system automatically 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 custom code.

L You build the rule by providing a list of values to choose from.

LPN (License Plate Numbers)

A LPN represents any object that exists in a position and holds an item

L all items received through ORACLEWMS are associated with a unique LPN. This makes it easier for items to be tracked and transacted in the warehouse without the need to scan items, quantities, batches, or serial numbers.

Oracle WMS provides complete 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 collections, and Oracle WMS enables users to track, Transact, and nest (combine) LPNs their content.

Using LPNs

You can use LPNs to do these things:

L Collect, store and pick goods through LPN.

L View the hands by LPN.

L handle multiple items in one transaction through LPN.

L Print Labels and reports to refer to the contents of the container.

L track nested LPNs, such as cartons on pallets (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 specifying transactional behavior at the item level, item state control enables you to specify item status at the sub-inventory, location, batch, or serial number level. This allows you to specify which transactions are allowed and which are not allowed for inventory items.

The item status also enables you to query through the current state of the item, and also allows 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 the work in the warehouse for the warehousing manager. It enables the warehouse manager 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 Reassign a task that has been accepted by one employee to another employee.

Integration point of warehouse management system

Integration of warehousing systems with the following systems

L Procurement (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 the inventory, but some changes have been made to some aspects. For 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 as the inventory, but when implementing the WMS it is to consider additional properties.

L because inventory is required when using WMS, inventory attributes have to be considered when implementing WMS.

Mobile Application and Warehousing management

The mobile application allows you to enter transactions in real time and accept system-assigned warehouse tasks.

Mobile applications represent mobile handheld devices, which can help reduce costs and increase efficiency as transactions are processed.

Mobile Application integration

Mobile applications provide a mobile interface for 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 are integrated with receipt transactions, quality detection, rmas and cross-Library.

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 during a transaction. The mobile app provides a similar integration for flowmanufacturing.

Oracle quality provides an interface to collect quality data and view detailed instructions on mobile devices.

Oracle inventory supports miscellaneous transactions, inter-organization transfers, cycle counting, physical inventory, and provides the ability to view on-hand inventory on mobile devices.

The picking and shipping process integrates Oracle Order management and Oracle sourcing to provide accurate drawings on orders at any point in the process.

Complete the process with the entire solution integrated with the label Printing solution.

Data identifiers

The data identifiers allow scanning outside the order by associating a different prefix for each type of data to be scanned.

Mobile devices automatically remove these prefixes before they are placed in the correct location on the device.

Oracle Warehouse Management supports data field identifiers (DFI), and barcodes containing prefixes can be labeled with values included in the barcode. There are 3 steps to using this feature:

To set DFI, a prefix can be associated with a field on a mobile device. In addition, the 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" is 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 if the server finds a DFI, it will be removed. But not found, then the entire barcode will be used.

In addition to setting up DFI, the mobile device must be configured to have an ASCII control character for the barcode to indicate to the mobile server that the data comes from the barcode and finds the DFI.

DFI removal, when a barcode scan is recognized by the mobile device, it checks for all matching DFIs. If a DFI is found, it removes the DFI and inserts the remaining data into the current field.

Scan outside the order, if the page contains a DFI field that is scanned outside the order, the mobile server removes the DFI and immediately puts the value on the appropriate field. The cursor remains on the current field, but the value of the scanned field is inserted. You only need to scan the field outside of the order to handle the appropriate validation.
