Wms Control Board

The Warehouse Control Board is a tool that Oracle Warehouse Management and supervisors use to monitor, plan, control, and execute various warehouse operations. It enables viewing workloads across the warehouse, managing exceptions, and reviewing, releasing, reassigning, and re-prioritizing tasks. Oracle Warehouse Management supports two types of crossdocking - planned crossdocking which matches expected receipts to demands, and opportunistic crossdocking which matches incoming supplies to existing demands. New features in Release 12 include the ability to query tasks by item type and view tasks for specific order types.

WAREHOUSE CONTROL BOARD:


Oracle Warehouse Management creates tasks such as picks, put away,
moves, and replenishments and dispatches pending tasks on demand to
mobile radio frequency devices. The Warehouse Control Board is a tool
that Oracle Warehouse Management and supervisors use to monitor, plan,
control, and execute various warehouse operations, including the
following:
Effectively use resources
Query tasks
Plan tasks
Release tasks to the warehouse floor
Assign, reassign, and prioritize the progress of tasks
Perform manual scheduling
Cancel crossdock tasks
The Warehouse Control Board enables you to view workloads across the
entire warehouse, manage exceptions, and review, release, reassign, and
re-prioritize tasks.
This is the current look of an R12 WCB Form.
This is the form look in release 11i.
FUNCTIONALIES:
CROSSDOCKING (TASK):
Crossdocking is the use of inbound receipts to satisfy outbound demands.
You can use crossdocking to match outbound shipments to scheduled
receipts in advance. This enables you to achieve faster flow-through times
and optimize warehouse resources. Oracle Warehouse Management
supports two types of crossdocking, planned crossdocking and
opportunistic crossdocking. Planned crossdocking matches expected
receipts to a demand source, and opportunistic crossdocking matches
demands to received supply.
Planned Crossdocking versus Opportunistic Crossdocking

You use planned crossdocking and opportunistic crossdocking for different


scenarios. Planned crossdocking works best when you know your supply in
advance. It enables you to control the throughput of your warehouse and
matches known demand with expected supplies. Opportunistic
crossdocking helps with uncertainties. It uses the rules engine to match
newly arriving supply to existing demands. This helps in cases in which a
supply or demand source is changed, modified, or cancelled.
Planned Crossdocking
This is new functionality in R12 .Planned crossdocking occurs during pick
release. Oracle Warehouse Management uses release sequence rules to
sequence demand sources, and fulfills the demand based on the
allocation method that you specify during pick release. When you run pick
release, the system uses the allocation method to determine whether
crossdock should be planned.
Opportunistic Crossdocking
Opportunistic crossdocking is supply initiated. Oracle Warehouse
Management considers material in receiving to fulfill a demand if you
enable Opportunistic Crossdocking on the Organization Parameters
window. Oracle Warehouse Management uses the rules workbench to
determine the appropriate crossdock criterion to use for supply.
Depending on the eligible demand sources, crossdocking goal, and time
fences that you specify in the opportunistic crossdock criteria, the system
determines to which demand to crossdock the supply. It then stamps and
operation plan on the material.
This functionality is added as a separate Source Task query.

ITEM TYPE (TASK):


Earlier we didnt have an option of querying items specific to their Item
Types. In R12 this functionality is introduced and user will be able to query
the entire task specific to item types.

ORDER TYPE (OUTBOUND):


Now system has the option of viewing the entire task for specific order
types. Earlier users will able to view different order types assigned. This
functionality will help the resources to filter the task as required.
