Domain

1. What is the max length of domain name?

--VARCHAR2(50 CHAR)

2. Explain the difference between Stand Alone and Reference domains?

When we do not select value in reference domain it becomes Stand

alone or lese it become reference domain.

The domain which refers the Reference domain inherits all the setups
and data.

3. Can sub domain have the Read/Write access if yes, how can that be
configured?

The Domain Grants function enables users with ADMIN user level privileges
to grant and revoke read-only or read/write access to table sets across
domains. By default, domains have read/write access to their subdomains,
 but subdomains do not have access to their parent domains unless it is
granted to them.

Corporations
1. Can we have multiple Corporations under one domain?

--yes

2. Explain the advantages of the master corporation?

--The master corporation determines the default involved parties for an

order, given the domain of the order. When a shipment is built, it grabs the
LOGISTICS involved party from the master corporation for the domain and
adds it to the shipment. It also does the same for the order for BILL-TO,
LOGISTICS, ORDEROWNER, ORDERSUPPLIER, SHIPPPER, CONSIGNEE when
the order is created. Also, when trying to get the primary contact for a
shipment tender, Oracle Transportation Management looks for a contact that
is associated to the master corporation for the domain and the service
provider.

3. What is the use of VAT Provincial Registration ID?

--Provincial tax, mostly used in Canada and Australia, is a value added

tax that varies depending on the province goods are moving in. For
example, in Canada you may have a different tax on items moving
within Quebec than when the items are moving within the maritime
provinces.

Locations
1. Explain the importance of Location Roles?

--location role is the function of a location.

Airport: A location that ships products via air. Orders sent by air
must be sent from a location with the role of airport.

Bill To: A location to which shipment bills are sent.

 Breakdown Location: The place where the breakdown of the
equipment, driver or power unit occurred. It can be an existing
location or a random spot such as the side of the highway.

Carrier: A location for a service provider. Most service providers

should choose a Carrier role. If the location is not an airport, port or
carrier, you may use the Ship From/Ship To role to define it more
generically.

Consolidation Pool: A location where many shipments come into and

are consolidated together to be distributed to other locations. See
Additional constraints section below.

Cust Account: A location held by a customer's account.

Customer: A location for a customer at the corporation level. Not a

shippable location.

Deconsolidation Pool: A location where shipments arrive and their

orders are split into smaller shipments to be sent to their final
destinations. See Additional constraints section below.

Dispatch Location -A service provider branch office that receives

tender offers. Create Dispatch Locations when dispatch - level
tendering.

Equipment Pool:

Inactive Airport: You may have a large number of airports in your

database (location table) that do not have any corresponding flights.
Most of these airports may also be considered minor airports and are
not typically used for shipping. When you define a flight itinerary,
typically you use the radius method to find the closest airports to the
source and destination locations. Unfortunately, most of the time the
closest airports are typically the minor ones that do not have any
associated flights. This option lets you mark these minor airports as
inactive.

Port: A location that ships products via ocean carrier. Orders sent
by sea must be sent from a location with the role of port.

Rail Junction: A location where two rail carriers interchange cars

between each other.
 Rail Ramp: A location where a change of mode occurs between a
truck carrier and a train carrier. At this location, containers and trailers
are lifted on or off railroad equipment.

Rail Station: An industry defined and registered location that is used

to report events or conduct business. A shipper or customer location
is located in the same geography as the RAIL STATION but reporting is
done by the "CITY" or RAIL STATION and not by the customer
location.

Remit To: A location to which payments for services are sent.

Ship From/Ship To: A location where shipments are shipped to as

well as shipped from.

Shipping Agent: A location that is automatically created when you

define a shipping agent.

XDock: A location that acts as a cross-dock. See Additional constraints

section below.

2. Can we create a location without a corporation?

--yes.

3. Can single corporation Id be used for multiple locations?

- yes
4. What is the use of stop times?

--Stop types are :Pickup, Drop and Others.

5. What is the use of postal code and what does OTM do with the postal
codes?

-- The postal code latitude/longitude is used for estimating rate costs

and distance.

6. What happens when Location and Corporation has same GID?

--No issue

7. By default which country Longitude and latitude is defined in OTM for

distance calculation?
 --USA

8. Can there be more than one primary contact on a Location?

--No there is only one primary contact

Nickname
1. What is the max length of Nickname?

--VARCHAR2(101 CHAR)

2. Can we have same nick name for 2 different domains?

--No we cannot. Nicknames are case sensitive so we can use same

name with different cases.

Favorites
1. How many favorites can be defined by user?
2. How many values can be mentioned as favorites?
3. Can we delete a value configured as favorite? if yes what is the effect
of it on favorites?

Order Management
1. What is the difference between the Early Pickup/Delivery date v/s late
Pickup/Delivery date?
2. Explain the difference between the ship Unit entry and Line Item
Entry?
3. How is net volume calculated?
 4. Can we enter multiple origins and destinations?
5. What is the difference between the gross weight and Net weight?
6. What is the difference between the gross Volume and Net Volume?
7. What information is displayed in the status window of an order?

Contracts
1. Can we build shipment(s) without Rates defined?

Agents
1. What will happen when more than one agent configured to trigger at
the same event with all the same conditions

Accessorials
1. What is the difference between accessorial and Secondary charges?

Audit Trail
1. How do you configure glog properties for the Audit Trail

User Preferences
1. What is the navigation for the user preference?

Financials
1. What are the main setups for the GL code creation?
2. How do you configure the allocation rule?

Depot Functionality
1. How do you create a depot profile?

Itineraries
1. How do you setup an itinerary for multi stop?
2. How do you setup an itinerary for multi leg?
What's the difference between freight and shipping?
Freight is the industry standard term for the compensation paid
for any goods, cargo, or lading transported for pay by water, land,
or air. Freight distribution lines pertain to shipping plus other
charges levied for moving goods and services.

Shipping is the base transportation cost charged to the customer

for transporting goods.

How does the dispute apply to the customer outstanding balance?

The dispute must be put through an approval process in Oracle
Fusion Receivables and if approved, a credit memo is created.
Once the credit memo is created it is available to be applied to
the customer's transaction that was disputed before updating
their outstanding balance.

What's the difference between applying a full amount and a partial amount
on a dispute?
Full amounts are required for line subtotal, shipping, tax and
total on a dispute. However a percentage of the total
transaction can be applied. Percentage must be greater than
zero and less than or equal to 100 percent. Specific lines allow
the collector to modify the quantity in whole numbers only.

Partial amounts or quantities are not allowed; instead the

collector needs to submit an adjustment.

Shipping
Methods:
Explained

Help topic | 19/03/17 | Generic

Edit Bookmark Print E-Mail

A shipping method is defined for every carrier. You must define and activate
a shipping method after creating a carrier. After a shipping method is
created, it is assigned to one or more organizations. The organization can
then use the carrier and shipping method combination to deliver shipments
to and from its warehouses. The active status of the shipping method
indicates that it is in use by the selected carrier in all assigned organizations.

You can define a shipping method by selecting the following:

 Service Level
 Mode of Transport

Service Level
Service Level is the priority of transportation that affects how quickly goods
are transported. For example, Next day, Overnight, Express, Door to Door.

Mode of Transport
Mode of transport refers to the means used to deliver shipments to the
customer. For example, Rail, Air, Road.

Transit
Time:

You can define the shipping method and transit time required for a shipment
to be transported from a point of origin to a destination. This enables you to
effectively calculate the initial ship date of the shipment in order for it to
arrive at the destination on the planned delivery date. For example, you
define an origin to destination combination from Florida to London. Next, you
assign the shipping method, Air, to it and define a transit time of 3 days.
When you receive an order with a requested delivery date of July 3, 2011 for
destination London, the transit time you defined earlier helps you determine
the initial ship date. The initial ship date is date by when the shipment
should be shipped from your warehouse in Florida in order for it to reach the
customer on the planned arrival date of July 3, 2011. In this case, the initial
ship date is calculated as being 3 days prior to the requested delivery date
on July 1, 2011. Shipping costs are applied based on the shipping method
used.

The following aspects can assist you in creating transit time records for
future use:

 Origin and destination combination

 Shipping method assignment
 Transit Time web service

Origin and Destination Combination

Defining an origin and destination combination enables you to create a
shipping lane between locations where you deliver shipments. These
locations can be of types Internal location, External location, Geography, and
Zone. A few examples of the location types are, Internal Location:
Warehouse, External Location: Customer site, Geography: place or country
such as California or American Samoa, and Zone: a grouping of geographies
such as the Asia Pacific.

Note

You cannot delete a transit time record for an origin and destination
combination if an open shipment exists for the same combination.

Shipping Method Assignment

You must assign a shipping method to a specific origin and destination
combination. For example, Express by Air. You can assign more than one
shipping method to an origin and destination combination.
After you assign the shipping method, you can specify the transit time in
number of days required to transport goods between the defined origin and
destination using that specific shipping method. This enables you to calculate
the initial ship date for shipments when you receive an order.

Additionally, you can choose to specify the maximum weight and volume
capacity that can be transported daily using the assigned shipping method.
You can also assign the cost per unit and the currency in which the cost is
calculated. This will further assist you in planning the delivery of shipments
by the requested delivery date.

Transit Time Web Service

You can also define and bulk upload transit times quicker using the Transit
Time web service. For example, you can create and upload transit time
records from all inventory organizations to all regions with multiple shipping
methods for each origin and destination combination.

What's an
orchestration
reference object?
An orchestration reference object is an object that resides
in the set of objects that an orchestration process
processes so that it can determine the meaning of a name
or the description of a code, such as a payment term
name, freight code, or transport code.

An order capture system typically sends sales order data

that contains names or codes to an orchestration process,
and this orchestration process must display a meaning for
the name or a description for the code. You must collect
the data that determines these meanings and descriptions
in the order orchestration and planning data repository.

For example, assume an order capture system sends sales

order data that includes a payment term of 2/10, Net 30
to an orchestration process, and the order orchestration
and planning data repository contains a record that
includes a payment term of 2/10, Net 30. In this situation,
the orchestration process uses the matching codes to
identify the following payment term description:
2% discount earned if paid within 10 days

To get the complete list of orchestration reference objects,

you can examine the collected data for them, and view
the list of values for the Lookup Type field.
