What is meant by Trips? How to create Trips?
Overview:
A trip is an instance of a specific freight carrier departing from a particular location
containing deliveries.
A trip is carrier specific and contains at least two stops such as a stop to pick up goods
and another stop to drop off goods, and may include intermediate stops. Trips can be
created automatically or manually.
Creating a Trip
There are several ways to create a trip:
Automatic
Manual
Automatic
If your shipping process does not require advanced planning, you may prefer to
automatically create trips:
Auto-creating a trip for a delivery: You can find the delivery you want to ship, and auto-
create a trip and related trip stops.
Auto-creating a trip for containers and lines: You can find the lines and containers you want
to ship and auto-create a trip which creates a trip, related deliveries, and trip stops.
Manual
During transportation planning, you can manually create a trip and later assign delivery
lines or find the delivery lines and create a trip. For example, for a regular trip scheduled
to depart every Friday, you can manually set up a trip ahead of time and then assign
delivery lines. When you manually create a trip, you can manually assign stops,
deliveries, and delivery lines to that trip.
Ship Confirmation
The material picking process ends when the items are ship confirmed out of inventory.
Ship confirming the items removes the existing reservations and performs the sales
order issue transaction. You may choose to ship confirm only part of the sales order
quantity. In this case, the balance of the sales order may be backordered. Back ordering
at Ship Confirm automatically splits the sales order into two lines. The first line
represents the shipped quantity, and the second line represents the backordered
quantity. The backordered line is automatically Pick Released by Oracle Shipping
Execution. A move order line is automatically generated for the backordered quantity.
What is meant by shipment tolerance?
Over/Under shipment tolerance, While shipping we can over/under shipping the quantity
in the sales order.
96. Various Shipping terms
Ship Set A group of order lines, linked by a common number, for which you want the full quantity to
ship all together.
Shippable lines: The lines that have pick released and are now eligible for Ship Confirm.
Ship Method: It is the combines of carrier, mode, and level of service.
Shipping documents: Shipping related reports, such as the Bill of Lading, Commercial Invoice, Mailing

a material
transaction.
Waybill A document containing a list of goods and shipping instructions relative to a shipment.
what is shipping document set??
A shipping document set is a set of shipping documents,which you specify at the time
of ship confirm,so that Oracle shipping wil print all those documents. And they are
Bill of Lading => A receipt given by the carrier to the customer,acknowledging
the goods being shipped and specifying terms of delivery.
Waybill =>it is identical to Bill of Lading, but it is not a document of title.
Commercial Invoice=> prints all confirmed shipped item in a delivery along with
value.
Mailing Label => address label showing where we are shipping.
Pack Slip => slip which shows the contents of the package.
Vehicle Load Sheet Summary =>specifies the loading sequence of items in a delivery.
Please note that the document set need not consist of all of the documents.
Once the order is shipped, how can we see the delivery lines ?
Once the order is shipped, we can pull up that order in the shipping transactions find
form,
by selecting null from the line status field.
We can also run the report like "Shipped Delivery Lines report" and provide the order
number to
see the delivery# details etc.
Shipping => Interfaces => Run => Shipped Delivery Lines report
1.Can the delivery lines in Shipping module be sourced from Other modules than OM?
The sources for the delivery lines are Order Management,Project Contracts and
Shipping.
Ship Confirmation
The material picking process ends when the items are ship confirmed out of inventory.
Ship confirming the items removes the existing reservations and performs the sales
order issue transaction. You may choose to ship confirm only part of the sales order
quantity. In this case, the balance of the sales order may be backordered. Back ordering
at Ship Confirm automatically splits the sales order into two lines. The first line
represents the shipped quantity, and the second line represents the backordered
quantity. The backordered line is automatically Pick Released by Oracle Shipping
Execution. A move order line is automatically generated for the backordered quantity.

How can I ship the fastest way?
Check the Autodetail option in Pick Release. It can be defaulted from the Shipping
Parameters form. Set the profile INV: Detail Serial Numbers to ‘Yes’. Inventory will
then suggest serial numbers during the Detailing process. Do not check the Pick
Confirmation Required flag in the Organization Parameters form.
94. What is ship confirm
A process in Shipping Execution which allows you to identify shipped quantities, assign inventory
control information for released lines, assign freight charges, and specify whether or not to back order
unfulfilled quantities of released line items.
How come when I ship confirm a delivery the Inventory and OM Interface are
not run?
When ship confirming a delivery, there is a check box labeled Close Trip. If that check
box is checked, the Trip and associated stops are closed when the delivery is closed.
If the check box is not checked, then you have to manually go to the stop tab and close
a stop. Once a stop is closed, the Inventory and OM Interface are submitted.
How can lines that were unassigned from a delivery a time of ship confirm due
to a credit hold, be released after the hold has been removed?

Delivery:
A delivery consists of a set of delivery lines that are scheduled to be shipped to a
customer’s ship-to location on a specific date and time. In a delivery, you can include
items from different sales orders as well as back orders. You can group multiple
deliveries together to create a trip.
More than one trip may be required to complete a delivery. For example, a delivery can
consist of two trips, the first trip by truck and the second trip by rail.

88. What is delivery
A set of order lines to be shipped to a customer’s ship-to location on a given date in a given vehicle.
Multiple deliveries can be grouped into a single departure. A single delivery may include items from
different sales orders and may include back orders as well as regular orders.
89. What is delivery line
Ans: Delivery line means a shippable and booked line
) Once The order is booked ,are the delivery details/lines created ??
Yes. immediately after the order is booked, the delivery lines are created (not
deliveries)
(which can be seen from the wsh_delivery_details which reference the sales
order). However once the deliveries are created (either automatically after
the pick release or manually based on the system options), these deliveries
lines are asssigned to the delivery created. Only after
the deliveries are created we can ship (or ship confirm) them.
5).What are Deliveries and Delivery Lines, and which one is created first?
Lets take an example. Let us say there is a sales order which consists of
two lines. Once the order is booked, two delivery lines are created automatically.
If there are two order lines, there will be two delivery lines,so for each
order line, there is a delivery line. Then as a next step, we assign these
delivery lines to a delivery. And if the autocreate is checked, then automatically
a delivery is created after pick relase and the two delivery lines are assigned
to the newly created delivery.
15) What are trips and stops and how they are related to deliveries.
A trip consists of atleast two stops, one the pick-up point and one a drop-off
point. When we ship confirm a delivery,a program called "Interface Trip Stop"
is automatically run which creates a trip stop and the delivery is assigned
to that trip.
58). How to create a Manual Delivery in OM ?
Navigate to Shipping Transaction Form
Ensure that radio button is on deliveries in the top right corner (ie in "Search For"
region)
Click On find button (You can enter a few criteria to make the search faster)
Once the results screen opens, click on the general create button green "+" icon at
the top left menu.
It will create a new record. Enter all required details and save.
Now you can come to the shipping trx form ,find delivery lines for a sales order and
assign the manually created delivery above to these delivery lines.
This can be understood in the way that when we create a customer, the first thing
that comes up is the customer search screen,so that we can find existing customers,so
that there are no duplicate customer entries.
59). what is the difference betweeen manual delivery vs automatic delivery ?
Actually the difference is when you are creating Automatically, the system will
create one delivery for the lines involved but if you want to do it your way i.e.
either club deliveries or may be have a delivery for each line seperately then it's of use.
To my knowledge if you don't have a seperate Trip Planning or Delivery Planning
department
it should be left to create aumoatically as you won't be getting benefited much by that.
