Internal Order Process Notes

In Internal Order Process, there are some note you need to know:

1-After run "Order Import Request", Sales Order had been created:
  • The Sales Order Type being chosen from Purchasing Options (Navigation: PO > Setup > Organizations > Purchasing Option).
  • The Sales Order line Schedule Ship Date is coming from the Internal Requisition Need-By Date.
  • The Unit selling price gets passed from the Internal Requisition or item cost from the source organization.
  • Sales Order lines are always created with Calculate Price Flag as 'N'. You can forcefully changes the Calculate Price Flag to 'P'.

2-After do the Ship Confirm for the Sales Order. You change to Purchasing Super User for receive the quantity that is delivered on the Internal Requisition but can not find Receiving Transaction. This error may occurs when default SubInventory is not defined in the destination Org. To fix this error do the following steps:

Drop Ship SO Cycle in Oracle Order Management (Part 1/5)

1)What is “Drop Ship” ?
Drop Ship is a method of product delivery which the vendor accepts payment for an order, but the buyer receives the product(s) directly from the manufacturer. In a drop shipping arrangement, the vendor will be a middleman between the manufacturer and the buyer. The profit in this transaction is come from difference between the wholesale and retail price of the items sold.

2)Drop Ship in Oracle Order Management
Order Management  allows you to create Drop Ship SO which means you can receive orders for products that do not have in your inventory and you have a vendor provide the products directly to your customer.



3)Flow of  Drop Ship Sales Order
  (1). Create SO
  (2). Book SO
  (3). Progress SO
  (4). Release Purchase Order (Purchase Release concurrent)
  (5). Import Requisition / Auto create Purchase Order (Purchasing response)
  (6). Receive the material against purchase order
  (7). Invoice creation in AP
  (8). Invoice creation in AR
  (9). Complete line and Close Order

4)Benefit of Drop Shipment Order
Drop shipping is very useful for smaller retail shops, internet-only storefronts and those who primarily use catalogs for sales. A representative product may be displayed on the store's shelves or pictured in its catalog, but the actual product purchased may be sitting in a factory 1000 miles away. The following are some benefit of this method:
 + Do not need inventory
 + Reduce flow times
 + Elimination of losses on non-sellable products.
 + Reduced shipping to customer
 + No need packing and shipping costs.
 + Vary your product to customers.
