Defining Shipment Transit Times in Oracle APPS

Within the Inter-Org Shipping Methods window, you can specify the ship method, intransit times, load weight and the volume capacity for any movement between two location types.

Note: Within Oracle Inventory, you must set up the relationship between organizations before using this window. You must also specify the Ship Method and other associated parameters for the inter location movement of the goods.

To enter ship methods

1. Navigate to the Transit Times window.
2. Click the New icon in the tool bar.
3. In the Origin Type column, select one of the following:
• Internal Location
• External Location
• Region
• Zone
4. In the From Location column, select where the shipment will ship from.
5. In the Destination Type column, select Internal Location, External Location, Region, or Zone depending on the scenario for which you are defining the transit times and other information.

Note: The destination type you select will determine the outcome in the Destination column. For example, if you select Internal Location, then the Destination list of values will contain only internal organizations. If you select Region as the Destination Type, then click the Destination field and the Select Regions window displays to enable you to find a defined region.

6. In the Destination column, select a location that the shipment is destined for.
7. Within the Ship Methods region, select a Ship Method.

Note: If a ship method is not defined for an internal location, then the lead-time will not be taken into consideration for internal requisitions.

8. Enter an Intransit Time.

Note: For a given ship method, ASCP/GOP will use the transit time to calculate ship or arrival date.

9. Enter Daily Capacity to define the maximum allowable daily load weight capacity that may be transported via this ship method.

Note: Daily Capacity serves as a parameter in Oracle Advance Planning applications and a penalty factor may be associated with exceeding the daily capacity.

10. Enter UOM for the weight unit of measure used for daily capacity, for example pounds, tons, or kilograms.
11. Enter Cost Per Unit for goods transported using this ship method for the specified From Location and Destination Type.
12. Enter the Currency associated with the cost per unit.
13. Enter the Daily Capacity to define the maximum allowable daily volume capacity that may be transported using this ship method.

Note: Daily capacity serves as a parameter in Oracle Advance Planning applications and a penalty factor may be associated with exceeding the daily capacity.

14. Enter UOM for the volume unit of measure used for daily capacity, for example cubic feet or cubic meter.
15. Select Default Method if you want this ship method to default into the Sales Order pad for this combination of From Location and Destination Type when Oracle Advanced Planning and Scheduling is installed.

Global Order Promising will use the default ship method and its associated transit time if no shipment is specified on the sales order.

16. Save your work.
