Overview of Managing Sales Orders

A customer service representative, order manager, or order administrator can use the Overview page of the Order
Management work area to create new a sales order, and to get details about sales orders and fulfillment systems that
your organization uses to fulfill them.
Use the Overview Page to Get Started

Use the Overview page in the Order Management work area as the starting point for creating and managing sales
orders.
5
Here's what you can do.
• Create a new sales order.

• Monitor order status and fulfillment line exceptions.
• View sales orders and the orchestration processes that fulfill them.
• Use Gantt charts, visual alerts, and statuses to identify tasks that are in jeopardy.
• Check item availability, including options and their costs and delivery dates.
• Take corrective action, such as substitute an item or splitting a fulfillment line so you can supply an item from
more than one warehouse.
• Manually schedule a fulfillment line.
• Manage holds.
• Manage messages.
6
• Recover from errors.
Fulfill Sales Orders

Your order administrator sets up Order Management and other Oracle applications, such as Oracle Inventory
Management, to optimize order fulfillment for your organization.
Here's a generic order fulfillment process.
Note
1. You sign into the Order Management work area, go to the Overview page, then create a new sales order on the
Create Order page. You select the customer in the heading area, use the Order Lines area to add order lines,
then click Submit.
2. Order Management transforms each order line into a fulfillment line.
3. An orchestration process fulfills the fulfillment lines.
7
The orchestration process runs tasks that do fulfillment, such as schedule, reserve inventory, and ship. You can
use it to monitor fulfillment status.
To schedule fulfillment, the orchestration process uses the set up that your order administrator does for the
supplier, such as which warehouse will supply the item.
For details, see Monitor Order Fulfillment.

4. Order Management sends the sales order to Oracle Inventory Management, which reserves inventory, picks the
item from warehouse shelves, then ships it to the customer.
Inventory Management communicates shipment progress to Order Management during order fulfillment, and
Order Management displays these updated statuses in the Order Management work area so you can monitor
fulfillment.
5. The customer confirms that they received the item.
6. Order Management uses the billing that your order administrator set up, such as the payment terms for the
customer, to bill the customer for the sales order, then billing collects payment. You can also set billing details in
the Billing and Payment Details area of the Create Order page.
Order Management continuously updates order status and displays it throughout the Order Management work
area during fulfillment.
Some organizations might also import source orders from an order capture system into Order Management. Ask your
order administrator for details about how order fulfillment works at your organization.
Example of a Sales Order

Here's an example of a sales order you can create.
8
Note
• Use the order header to add details about the customer. You set the Customer attribute to a value, such as
Computer Service and Rentals, then Order Management fills in values for other attributes in the header.
• Use the catalog line in the order lines area to search for the item you need to add.
In this example, you already searched for and added the AS54888 - Standard Desktop. You then searched for
the CN62101 Printer, and will click Add to move it from the catalog line to the order lines area.
• Use tabs in the order line areas to set other details.
◦ Click the truck to set shipping and supply details, such as the warehouse that supplies the item, and
whether to ship through United Parcel Service or the United States Postal Service.
◦ Click the tag to set billing details, such as whether payment terms are Net 30 or Immediate.

How Order Management Transforms Source Orders Into

Sales Orders
Order Management transforms the source order you create in Order Management or that it receives from a source
system so it can optimize order fulfillment.
10
Here's how Order Management transforms a source order.
1. Receives a source order that you submit in Order Management or that it gets from a source system. The source
order in this example includes three order lines.
2. Separates the source order into fulfillment lines.
3. Assigns each fulfillment line to a new orchestration process that it creates to orchestrate fulfillment for the
fulfillment line.
For example, it might assign fulfillment line 1-1 to orchestration process 300100090333478, and fulfillment line
1-2 to orchestration process 300100090333457.
The diagram includes part of the fulfillment view you use to monitor fulfillment. For details, see Monitor Order
Fulfillment.
4. Starts the orchestration process that fulfills the fulfillment line. You use the Switch to Fulfillment View action on
the Order page of the Order Management work area to monitor the orchestration process.
11
Order Management typically finishes transformation within a few seconds after you click Submit.
Order Management sets the completion date of the final step in the orchestration process to the requested date of the
source order. The Last Fulfillment Completion Step sets the final step of the orchestration process.
When Transformation Runs
Transformation runs depending on what starts transformation.
What You Do Transformation
Import a sales order from a source system. Pretransformation, product transformation, and posttransformation runs during order import.
These transformations run before you submit the sales order to order fulfillment.
12
What You Do Transformation
Create a new sales order in the Order Pretransformation runs each time you modify the customer, modify the order type, or add an order
Management work area. line.
Product transformation and posttransformation runs one time after you click Submit.
Revise a sales order in the Order No transformation runs.

Management work area.
Parts of Sales Orders You Can Use After Transformation

Use these parts to monitor and manage order fulfillment.
Part of Sales Order Description
Order Includes order lines and fulfillment lines.
• The relationship between a sales order and a fulfillment line is similar to the relationship that
exists between a source order and a source order line.
• A sales order in Order Management might not exactly mirror the structure of a source order in a
source system.
Order line Typically references one fulfillment line.
• If Order Management splits a fulfillment line, then it maps two or more fulfillment lines to the
same order line.
• The relationship between a sales order and order lines preserves some of the original structure of
the source order, making it easier to keep track of the original intent of the source order, even if
Order Management splits fulfillment lines for the sales order.
Fulfillment line Part of a sales order you can modify in the Order Management work area. For example:
• Schedule or unschedule a fulfillment line.

• Reserve items for a fulfillment line.
• Substitute an item on a fulfillment line.
• Change the warehouse, shipping method, or demand class for a fulfillment line.
Orchestration process An order administrator can set up an orchestration process to determine the tasks that the process
does.
You can't modify an orchestration process in the Order Management work area, but you can monitor
an instance of it while it manages the fulfillment line, and monitor progress.
Return fulfillment line Represents a sales order line that Order Management uses to return items. Its similar to a fulfillment
line, but it includes a set of attributes that are specific to returning items.

How Order Management Transforms Order Lines Into

Fulfillment Lines
Order Management transforms order lines into fulfillment lines.
Assume you create a sales order for a laptop computer that comes with accessories, such as a docking station and
mouse, then click Submit.
14
Here's how Order Management transforms the order.

• Transforms two order lines into six fulfillment lines.
• Uses the price from the source order to set the price in the sales order.
• Transforms the line for the laptop in the source order to fulfillment line 1.
• Transforms the Accessory Package in the source order to more than one fulfillment line. Each line represents
part of the content of the Accessory Package, such as docking station, mouse, AC adapter, and so on.
Note
• The number of fulfillment lines might exceed the number of order lines, or Order Management might use a
different sequence when it displays these lines. These differences occur because Order Management applies
different fulfillment requirements to each fulfillment line, such as available inventory, scheduling requirements,
or shipping requirements.
• You use the Manage Fulfillment Lines page to manage these lines.
15
• Transformation for your sales order might be different, depending on how your order administrator sets up
transformation.

• Overview of Managing Sales Orders
Create Sales Orders

Use the Create Order page in the Order Management work area to create a new sales order.
Assume you must create a sales order for customer Computer Service and Rentals, and for item AS54888 Standard
Desktop.
This topic uses example values. You might need different values, depending on your business requirements.
Create a sales order.

1. Go to the Order Management work area.
2. Go to the Order Management work area, then click Tasks > Create Order.
3. On the Create Order page, complete the order header.
◦ Enter a value in the Customer field, such as Computer Service and Rentals.
Order Management makes other order head attributes available after you enter the value. If you can't
locate the customer, then your order administrator must add the customer to Order Management. For
details, ask your order administrator.
◦ Optional. Set sales credits. For details, see Manage Sales Credits for Sales Orders.
17
◦ Set the values in other attributes in the header, as necessary. Order Management uses some of the
values you set in the order header to set the values in other parts of the sales order.
For example, if you set the Payment Term to Net 10 on the order header, then Order Management sets
the Payment Term on each order line you create to Net 10. You can modify these values on the order line.
4. In the Order Lines area, in the Select Item attribute, enter text or a number that identifies the item your
customer is ordering, press TAB on your keyboard, wait for Order Management to display item details, then
click Add.
Here's how you add the AS54888 item.
Use the catalog line to search the catalog for items you can add to the sales order.
If you can't locate the item, then your order administrator must add it to Order Management.
Tip: Click the magnifying glass to do an advanced search. In the Search and Select dialog, click Advanced,
expand Advanced Search, then enter a value in an attribute. For example, in the Item attribute, enter
Computer, then click Search. Order Management will display all items that begin with the word Computer.
5. Repeat step 4, but add a different item. For example, enter Monitor - 19".
6. Optional. Validate your sales order. For details, see Validate Sales Orders.
7. Click Submit.
8. In the Warning dialog, click Yes.
9. Notice that Order Management adds details at the top of the order header, such as Order: Computer Service
and Rentals - 422080 - Processing.
◦ Computer Service and Rentals is the customer name.

◦ 422080 is the order number.
◦ Processing is the order status.
Order Management transforms your sales order and schedules it for fulfillment.
Your organization might use a processing constraint that prevents you from editing an attribute. Contact your order
administrator for details.
18
Negative Values
A negative value usually means the sales order includes an item that someone returned. Here's what Order
Management does when your sales order includes a return.
• Displays the return in a separate order line on the Order page.

• Displays the price of each returned item in red font.
• Subtracts the value of each return from the order total.
• If the values of the returns are greater than the value of the order lines that Order Management hasn't returned,
then it uses red font to display the value in the Total attribute. Red font indicates the value is negative.

attribute, and to each order line that contains an error. It also keeps the sales order in Draft status. Click
the warning icon to get details about the error.
Manage Sales Credits for Sales Orders

Use the Sales Credits attribute on the order header of the Create Order page to assign the revenue percentage and
nonrevenue percentage of the sales credit that each salesperson whose involved with the sales order receives.
Order Management distributes the credit according to how you set these percentages. You can also manage sales
credits on the order line.
A sales credit is a percentage of the total revenue of a sales order that a salesperson receives as commission for the
order. Use it to.
• Report on salesperson performance.
• Report on achieving quota.
• Assist with calculating compensation.
• Assist with forecasting according to territory.
Use the Manage Sales Credits dialog to set percentages.
Sales Credit Assignment Description
Revenue Percentage Set the percentage of the total revenue that the salesperson receives as commission for work they do
that's directly related to selling the sales order.
You must distribute exactly 100% of the total revenue of the sales order.
Assume the revenue for a sales order is $100 and you add two salespeople in the Manage Sales Credits
dialog.
21
Sales Credit Assignment Description
• If you set the revenue percentage for one salesperson to 60, then you must set the revenue
percentage for the other salesperson to 40.
• If you add only one salesperson, then you must set the revenue percentage to 100.
Nonrevenue Percentage Set the percentage of the total revenue that the salesperson receives as commission for work they do
that isn't directly related to selling the sales order. For example, for revenue from a sales bonus.
You can specify a distribution of the percentage that's equal to any fraction of the total revenue of the
sales order.
Your order administrator uses Trading Community Architecture to set up each salesperson as a resource when the
salesperson is a member of a sales organization. Order Management displays the salespeople who are related to the
business unit in the Manage Sales Credits dialog. Consult your company policies to determine the salespeople you must
add and the percentages to enter.
Order Management sends the sales credit details you set to Oracle Receivables, which then sends details to Oracle
Incentive Compensation so it can pay commission. For details about sales credits and percentages, ask your order
administrator.

Search Attributes for More Than One Value

If you specify more than one attribute when you search, then Order Management uses an AND condition.
Assume you have these sales orders in your database.
Sales Order Status
44444 Awaiting Billing
55555 Processing
66666 Draft
Assume you do this search.
Attribute Value
Order Equals 44444
Status Equals Awaiting Billing
The search results will contain order 44444.
Assume you do this search.
22
Attribute Value
Order Equals 44444
Status Equals Draft
The search results won't contain any value.
If you specify more than one value for the same attribute, then Order Management applies an OR condition on that
attribute. Assume you do this search.
Attribute Value
Status Equals Draft
Status Equals Processing
Order Management applies an OR condition between the status values:

Search for order Status equals Draft, or Status equals Processing.

Approvals and Trade

Get Approvals for Sales Orders
Your order administrator might set up the Order Management work area so someone must approve your sales order
before sending it to order fulfillment, according to an approval rule.
Here's an example that includes one Order Entry Specialist and three approvers.
23
Order Management can route the sales order to each approver and track approval status while each approver finishes
approval.
How Approval Works

Assume the sales order total exceeds $10,000 and your order administrator set up an rule.
• If the sales order total exceeds $10,000, then get approval.

• Send the approval request to your manager.
Here's the flow that this example uses.
24
Note
1. You create a sales order in the Order Management work area, then click Submit.
2. If your order administrator set up approvals, and if the sales order meets the approval rule, then Order
Management sets the status to Approval Pending, locks the sales order so you can't edit it, adds a lock icon
immediately to the right of the order status, then sends a notification to the approver.
To get details about the current state of the approval process, in the order header, click View Approval
Information.
3. Order Management adds a notification to the banner in the approver's work area. The approver can click the
request to get details about it, add a comment, then approve or reject the request.
25
4. If the approver.
◦ Approves. Order Management sets the order status to Processing and sends the sales order to order
fulfillment.
◦ Rejects. Order Management unlocks the sales order, sets the order status to Draft, allows the approver to
add a comment, then sends the sales order back to you for rework.
5. If the approver rejects the approval request, then Order Management displays a comment that the approver
added. It displays the comment as a note in the Approval Notes tab of your sales order. You can now modify the
sales order and resubmit it to restart the approval process.
The approval rule in this topic is only one example. Your order administrator might set up a variety of approval
rules and different approvers.
◦ A rule might test for the value of other attributes, such as quantity, a price override, and so on.
◦ Approvers might include more than one person, or a group of people, such as a Sales Manager and a
Sales Director.
◦ Approval Notes might display details about each approver.
If your order administrator also sets up credit check, then the credit check happens first, then approval. For
details, see Release Holds for Order Lines That Fail Credit Check.
Ask your order administrator for details about how approvals work for you.

Approve Sales Orders

Approve or reject a sales order.
Assume you're an Order Manager and you must approve any sales order that exceeds a total of $10,000. You receive a
request to approve sales order 258093, but it exceeds $10,000. Your company policy states to split each sales order that
exceeds this amount into more than one order so no order exceeds this amount.
1. On the banner, click Notifications (the bell icon).

2. Examine the Pending Notifications list, then click the link that's requesting approval.
For example, click Action Required: Approval Request for Order 258093.
26
3. Use the Approval Request page to get details.
Note
◦ Click View Order Details to view the sales order.

◦Examine the History area. More complex approvals might include several approval levels. The history
illustrates who, what, and when for the approval. Such as who requested it, and who has approved it so
far.
4. Add a comment.
Split order into two orders so total is less than $10,000.
The comment stays with the sales order regardless of the action you take. If you reject the approval, then
approval sends the sales order and your comment back to the requester.
27
5. Click Reject.
Approval sets the sales order status to Draft, then sends it back to the requester with your comment.
Here are the actions you can take.
Action What Approval Does
Approve Change the Order Status from Pending to Processing, then send the sales order to order fulfillment.
Reject Change the Order Status from Pending to Draft, and send the sales order back to the requester.
Request Information Add a comment to the request, then send the request to the requester or someone else who can
provide the details you seek.
Assume the sales order exceeds $10,000 but you recall that your purchasing organization set up a
special agreement some time during the fiscal year with your Computer Service and Rentals customer
that approves sales orders up to $20,000. You use Request Information to specify the purchasing
agent, and add a comment.
Please verify we have an agreement that approves sales order up to $20,000

for Computer Service and Rentals. Please reply with the agreement number.
You can send the request to an individual, group, or role.
You can specify whether approval sends the reply only to you, or also sends it to others in the approval
flow so they can examine the request with the new details and redo their action, as necessary.
Reassign Assign or delegate the approval request to someone else, a group, or a role.
Create Subtask Add other approvers. Add another person, a group of people, or a chain of approvers.
A subtask is an approval within the existing approval. Set the priority to specify which subtask takes
precedence in the parent approval, with priority 1 taking the highest precedence.
Assume you create subtask x with priority 1 and subtask y with priority 2. If the folks on approval flow
x approve the request, and the folks on approval flow y reject the request, then approval considers the
request approved, sets the status to Processing, and sends the sales order to fulfillment.
Escalate Escalate the request to someone higher up in the approval hierarchy.
Suspend Pause approval for the request. Approval won't assign the request to anyone else until you do another
action.
Withdraw Remove the approval request from the approval flow. You can only withdraw a request that you create.
Save Save changes you made in the request, such as adding a comment or attaching a file, but don't take
any other action.
Your order administrator determines the choices you can make for some actions, such as Reassign or Escalate. For
example, the administrator might set up groups and roles you can reassign to, or managers you can escalate to. Ask
your order administrator for details.

Agreements
Sales Agreements
Add a sales agreement that applies pricing terms to your sales order when a customer frequently buys from your
company, such as offering a reduced price when buying an agreed-to quantity of an item over time.
A contract is a written document between buyer and seller. It specifies terms that apply for your customer. It allows the
customer to receive a favorable price and for you to improve your future cash flow predictions.
Order Management can automatically apply contract terms to each sales order to achieve benefits.
• Reduce processing time.

• Reduce error.
• Avoid negotiating contract terms for each sales order.
• Avoid manually entering contract terms.
For example:
34
Each contract contains a header that specifies your business unit, such as Vision Operations, your customer who
purchases the item, such as Computer Service and Rentals, and a number that identifies the contract, such as 101.
Each contract contains one or more agreement lines. Each agreement line contains attributes.
Attribute Description
Name Identifies the item.
Each agreement line applies to one item, such as AS54888 Desktop Computer.
If the contract doesn't include an item, you can still add it to the sales order, but the order won't apply
an adjustment.
List Price Starting price for the item.
Adjustment Type • Discount Percent.

• Discount Amount.
• Markup Percent.
• Markup Amount.
Adjustment Numeric value of the adjustment.
Start Date Date when the agreement goes into effect.
35
End Date Date when the agreement expires.
Assume List Price for item AS54888 is $1,000 and the adjustment is a 10% discount. If your customer buys 80 laptops
on order line 1 in sales order 75839, then the sales order calculates the remaining amount that's available for purchase in
the agreement.
Calculation Description
$1,000 list price minus $100 discount. Price after discount for quantity of one: $900.
$900 discounted price multiplied by Net price on order line: $72,000.

quantity 80.
Note
• The sales order only displays the agreement when the current date happens on or after Start Date, and on or
before End Date. If the current date doesn't happen in this date range, then the sales order doesn't display the
agreement.
If End Date is empty, then the agreement never expires.

• Your order administrator sets up agreements and contracts. For details about them, including the ones you can
select, quantities available, discounts that apply, and so on, contact your order administrator.
Add Sales Agreements to Sales Orders

Create a sales order that includes a sales agreement.
Assume your order administrator set up this agreement, and that today is 9/11/19.

Adjustment 10% discount
Start Date 1/1/19
36
Attribute Value
End Date 12/31/19
You will create this order.
Note
• You can set the agreement on the order header and on the order line.
• In order line 1, the agreement is available for item AS54888, its applied, and the amount is $900.
• In order line 2, the agreement is available, but not applied, and the amount is $1,000.
• In order line 3, no agreement is available because the order administrator didn't define one for item AS92888.
Add a sales agreement to a sales order.
1. Create a sales order.
2. Set the Customer attribute to Computer Service and Rentals.
3. Set the Sales Agreement attribute on the order header to 101.
4. Add an item.
37
◦ Search for item AS54888 on the catalog line.
Order Management prices the item depending on whether the agreement.
- Is available. Prices the item according to the agreement. An agreement is available only if the order
administrator defined an agreement for the item, customer, and business unit, the agreement isn't
expired, and it doesn't exceed the commitment amount.
- Isn't available. Prices the item in the same way it prices an item that doesn't include an agreement.
◦ Notice that the catalog line displays a price of $900, which is $1,000 minus 10%.
◦ Click Add.
◦ In the Order Lines area, notice the attributes.
Amount $900. The amount includes the discount.
Sales Agreement If an agreement is available for the item, then you can use the sales order to set the
agreement for each order line.
Sales Agreement Line A contract can include one or more agreement lines, and one or more versions of the
contract can exist. Your order administrator uses these attributes to help manage the
Sales Agreement Version agreement.
Contract Start Date These attributes apply only to a service contract, not a sales agreement, so leave them
empty.
Contract End Date
5. Normally, you now click Submit. For this example, so you can experience the functionality that's available,
instead, remove the value from the Sales Agreement attribute on the order header.
In the dialog that displays, select a value. This feature is most useful when several agreements are available and
your order includes several order lines.
Value Description
Lines That Contain Original Value Remove the discount only from order lines that contain agreement 101.
For this example, select Lines That Contain Original Value, and notice that the sales order
removed the discount from Amount on the order line, which is now $1,000.
All Lines Remove the discount from all order lines.
38
Value Description
For example:
Note
◦ Assume the original value for the Sales Agreement attribute on the order header is 101 and you change it
to 102.
◦ Assume only order line 1 contains 101 in the Sales Agreement attribute on the order line.
◦ If you click.
- Lines That Contain Original Value. Order Management applies the change only to order line 1.
- All Lines. Order Management applies the change to order lines 1, 2, and 3.
6. Add an item when the agreement on the order header is empty.
◦ Search for item AS54888 on the catalog line.

◦ Notice that the catalog line displays a price of $1,000, which is the full price without the discount, then
click Add.
◦ On the order line, notice that Amount is $1,000, and Sales Agreement is empty.
◦
On the order line you just added, set Sales Agreement to 101, then notice that the order line changes
Amount to $900. It applied the discount to the line.
7. Add an item that doesn't have an agreement.
◦ Search for item AS92888 on the catalog line, then click Add. Assume no agreement is defined for
AS92888.
◦ On the order line, notice that Amount is $1,000, and Sales Agreement is empty.
39
Revise and Copy

If you submit the sales order and then, at some later time must change the sales agreement on the order header or
order line, then create a revision first, then change the agreement. The original agreement might or might not be
available. For example, the original agreement might have expired or someone might have revised it.
If you copy a sales order that includes an agreement, then the copy will also include the agreement. You can change the
agreement on the copy, as necessary.
If an order line has an agreement, then you can revise the line only if the Contract Start Date happens on or before the
current date and if the Contract End Date happens on or after the current date.
Return Items
If you reference the original return when your create a return order.
• Order Management copies the sales agreement to the return order header, and you can modify it. You can
create a return that includes return lines and ship lines.
If you change the agreement on the order header, then Order Management applies your change to new lines
that you add to the return, but doesn't apply your change to return lines that already include an agreement.
• Order Management doesn't allow you to change the order line agreement that it copies from the original order.
If you don't reference the original return when you create a return order, then Order Management applies the same
behavior it applies for agreements when you create a new sales order that isn't a return.

order line to reduce order processing time and improve the accuracy of tracking cost, revenue, and profitability.
Try it.
1. Create a sales order, then select a value in the Customer attribute and in the Business Unit attribute.
The customer, business unit, and item determines the projects you can select on the order line, depending on
how your order administrator sets up Order Management. For details, contact your order administrator.
2. Search for an item on the catalog line, then add it to the order.
3. On the order line, in the Project Details column, click Edit Project Details.

Dual Units of Measure

Track Items in More Than One Unit of Measure
See how you can use the dual units of measure feature to order, price, manufacture, receive, pick, pack, and ship an item
in the primary UOM but price it in the secondary UOM.
You might need to order, transfer, outsource, or buy an item in a unit of measure that's different from the unit of
measure that you use to price and invoice it. For example:
• You price fish by the pound but you sell the entire fish to your customers.
• You price steel by the ton but ship and receive it by the sheet.
• You price paper by the pound but ship and receive it by the roll.
• You price apples by the pound but ship and receive them by the bag.
Consider an example.
46
Note
• Weight for each fish is approximate because it naturally varies in size. For example, 10 different fish will each
sell for a different amount because each one has a unique weight. You might need to use the primary UOM
Case to stock your fish in inventory, but use the secondary UOM Pounds to price it.
• The total weight of an average case of fish is 12 pounds, and that's how you stock it.
• The actual weight of the case that you weigh just before you ship is 11.6 pounds, and that's the price you charge
your customer.
You can use the dual units of measure feature to meet this requirement. It's an end-to-end, integrated solution that
works across Oracle Applications:
• Use this feature to simultaneously track an item in the primary UOM and secondary UOM throughout your
order-to-cash process and procure-to-pay process, including in Order Management, Inventory Management,
Procurement, and Manufacturing.
47
• Capture the actual weight of the item that you sell, transfer, or purchase so you can accurately price, invoice,
and cost the item.
• Provide a price estimate at the time of sale or purchase and maximize value according to the exact weight that
you ship or receive. In some cases, the weight might change between the time you acquire the item and sell it.
For example, produce might lose some of its weight through evaporation while it sits in inventory, so you weigh
it just before you ship, and price it at the Weight secondary UOM.
You can use Order Management to create a sales order in the item's primary unit of measure or in another unit of
measure that's in the primary UOM class, such as Each, then use the standard conversion or item conversion to
automatically calculate quantity in the secondary UOM, such as Pound.
• Track the item in a UOM that's different from the UOM that you use to stock the item. For example, use
the primary UOM Cases to stock and track the quantity that your customer orders, and use the secondary
UOM Pounds to track the secondary quantity that you price and actually ship. You can use Case and Pounds
simultaneously to track the item.
• Use an automated flow to update the order line and invoice it according to the quantity or the secondary
quantity that you ship.
• Use and view two units of measure throughout your end-to-end supply chain. For example, start with the
primary unit of measure for the ordered quantity on the order line, then price and invoice in the secondary unit
of measure. Reserve, allocate, plan, produce, and ship in the primary.
• If you're doing an internal transfer of goods, then you can create and fulfill the transfer order in the item's
primary UOM, and calculate transfer pricing according to the secondary UOM.

Note
• You use the Catalog Line on the sales order to search for the item. It displays the ordered quantity in the
ordered UOM, and the secondary quantity in the secondary UOM. It also indicates whether Order Management
priced the line in the secondary UOM.
• You can't change the secondary quantity or secondary UOM on the order line, but you can change the primary
quantity and Order Management will automatically calculate the secondary quantity and the amount.

The catalog line sets the unit of measure to the primary, by default. It also displays primary and secondary
attributes which makes it easy to see the conversion.
For this example, assume you change the Quantity to 3 and the UOM to Case of 3.
Attribute Value
Quantity 3
This is the primary quantity.
UOM Case of 3
The primary UOM is Each. You can change this attribute to any UOM that's in the same class as
the primary UOM, such as Case of 3.
Secondary Quantity 36
The catalog line uses conversion rules that your order administrator sets up to automatically
calculate the secondary quantity.
◦ 1 case contains 3 tuna.
◦ 1 tuna equals 4 pounds.
◦ 3 tuna multiplied by 4 pounds means each case weighs 12 pounds.
◦ 12 pounds for each case multiplied by the primary quantity of 3 equals a secondary
quantity of 36.
Secondary UOM Pounds

Coverages and Subscriptions

Coverages and Subscriptions in Sales Orders
Add a coverage item, such as a warranty, or a subscription, such as a monthly wireless calling plan, to a sales order.
Consider these concepts.
Concept Description
Covered item An item that a coverage item covers.
For example, a six month warranty is a coverage item for a laptop computer, and the laptop computer
is the covered item.
Coverage item An item that adds value by providing coverage for another item.
Extended Warranty, Service Level Agreement, and Software Maintenance are each an example of a
coverage.
Coverage A contract that adds value to an item by providing support, service, repair, replacement, and so on.
For example, your customer might purchase a laptop computer and different types of coverage for the laptop and the
software it contains.
54
Note
Covered Item Coverage Item
Sentinel Software Suite 30 Day Online Phone Support
Sentinel Hard Drive One Year Parts Warranty, with on site service
For another example, your customer might purchase a five year service agreement as the coverage item for a
refrigerator, and the refrigerator is the covered item. You ship the covered item, then a field service technician provides
service on the refrigerator, as needed.
Here's how you can manage a coverage item.

• Add coverage to a covered item that's in the same sales order.
• Add coverage to a covered item that's in a different, closed sales order.
• Add more than one coverage item to one covered item. For example, add one coverage item that covers parts
for a laptop computer, then add another coverage item that covers service for the same laptop computer.
• Modify a coverage item, including billing frequency.
• Cancel a coverage item that Order Management hasn't sent to order fulfillment.
• Return a coverage item that Order Management already fulfilled.
55
Coverages You Can and Can't Add

Here are the types of coverage you can add.
• Extended Warranty
• Software Maintenance
• Service Level Agreement
• Preventive Maintenance
You can't add these coverages.
• Coverage for an item you can't cover. For example, you can't add preventive maintenance to an extended
warranty.
• Coverage for a service that doesn't recur, for installation, or for training.
• Coverage for only part of the quantity on the order line.
• Pricing according to the number of service request calls.
• Order line that includes a coverage item that covers more than one covered item. A coverage line can cover only
one covered item.
• Coverage item that covers only part of the coverage duration.
• Coverage item that covers another coverage item.
• Coverage item that's also a configured item.
• Coverage for a configure option when another coverage item already covers the configured item.
• Coverage item that isn't enabled for contract coverage. Your order administrator enables contract coverage.
Status
A coverages or subscription moves through different statuses during fulfillment just like a regular order line, but with a
few differences.
• If the status of the covered order line is Shipped, Invoiced, or Delivered, then you can't revise the coverage line
that covers the covered line.
• Order Management sets the status of the coverage item to Awaiting Billing when it fulfills the item that the
coverage item covers.
How Status Works with Holds
1. Assume you create a sales order with the AS54888 laptop computer as the covered item, the 1 Year Warranty as
the coverage item, then submit the order.
2. Later on, you manually apply a shipping hold on the covered item, then manually release the hold two days
later.
3. Order Management moves the laptop to Awaiting Shipping but the warranty is still at the Change Pending
status or Manual Scheduling Required status.
You become concerned because Order Management seems to be processing the laptop but not the warranty.
Don't worry. This is expected behavior. Order Management starts the billing for the warranty after it fulfills the
laptop, starting with the Awaiting Billing status.
56
Set the Date and Time

You can set the time stamp for the contract start date or end date. The time stamp includes the date and time of day.
Attribute You Set Description
Contract Start Date Specify when to start the coverage or subscription.
If you set the start time stamp, duration, and period, then Order Management automatically sets the
end time stamp for you.
Contract End Date Specify when to end the coverage or subscription.
If you set the end time stamp, then Order Management recalculates the duration and period and
displays their revised values.
Note
• If you set the start time stamp and the end time stamp, then Order Management automatically sets the
duration and period.
• If the duration is.
◦ Fixed. You can't set the end time stamp. Order Management calculates it for you.
◦ Variable. You can set the end time stamp.
Your order administrator determines whether the duration is fixed or variable.

Add Coverage to Sales Orders

Add a coverage item for a covered item in the same sales order, or in a different sales order.
You can add coverage to a new sales order, or to a sales order you already submitted to order fulfillment.
In this example, you add covered item PTO54222 - Sentinel Personal Desktop Computer to a sales order, then add
coverage item Variable Extended Warranty for Sentinel Desktop in the same sales order.
57
Try it.
3. In the Order Lines area, search for the item, then click Add.
Item Description
PTO54222 PTO54222 - Sentinel Personal Desktop Computer
The PTO54222 - Sentinel Personal Desktop Computer is the covered item. You must add the covered item
before you add the coverage item.

8. In the Select Covered Item dialog, select Current Order, set the values, then click Add.
Order Line Select PTO54222 - Sentinel Personal Desktop Computer.
Contract Start Date Specify when to start coverage. For this example, accept the current date, which is the default
value.
You order lines should look like these lines.
9. Click Submit, then, in the Confirmation dialog, click OK.

10. Click Actions > Switch to Fulfillment View.
11. On the Order page, click Fulfillment Lines.
Note
58
◦ The Fulfillment Lines tab displays one fulfillment line for the covered item and one fulfillment line for the
coverage item, and includes attributes that are specific to the coverage item, such as Duration, Period,
Contract Start Date, Contract End Date, and Sales Product Type.
◦ The Associated Order Line link navigates you to the item that the coverage item covers.
12. In the fulfillment line for the coverage item, in the Orchestration Process Number column, click the link.
13. On the Orchestration Process page, on the Orchestration Plan tab, notice that the Status for each shipping task,
such as Schedule, Reserve, or Ship, is Not Applicable.
A warranty isn't a shippable item, so the orchestration process doesn't attempt to ship it.
How Order Management Calculates Amounts for Coverage Items

Order Management automatically sets the quantity of the coverage line to the quantity of the covered line. It then
multiples the quantity by the price on the covered line. In this example, the calculation is Quantity of 2 multiplied by
price of 100 equals an Amount of 200.
Set the Duration and Period

Some coverage items might allow you to modify the Duration and Period, depending on how your order administrator
sets them up. Assume your customer requests to purchase only one month of Variable Extended Warranty for Sentinel
Desktop instead of the default 5 years. Here's how you do it on the order line.
59
Note
• If the service duration is variable for the coverage item, and if you set Contract Start Date and Contract End
Date, then Order Management automatically calculates Duration.
• If you set Contract Start Date and Contract End Date to the same date, including the time stamp, then Order
Management sets Duration to one day. One day is the lowest value that Duration can contain, so a coverage
must exist for at least one full day. You can't specify a duration that lasts for less than 24 hours.
• If you copy a sales order, and if the sales order that you copy has a coverage, then Order Management sets
Contract Start Date on the new coverage line to the current date. Order Management uses the current date, and
the duration and period on the original coverage line to calculate the Contract End Date on the new line.
Add Coverage to Sales Orders You Already Submitted

Add coverage item Gold Extended Warranty to an order line on sales order 123456, which is a sales order you already
submitted.
Create the sales order.

3. In the Order Lines area, click Search (the magnifying glass).

11. In the Select Covered Item dialog, click Add.
12. In area Order Lines, notice that the order line includes a reference to the covered item and the number of the
sales order that contains the covered item.
60
13. On the Create Order page, click Submit.
Modify Coverage for Sales Orders

Modify some parts of a coverage item in a sales order.
If you modify the quantity of the covered order line, then Order Management automatically modifies the quantity of the
coverage line.
Assume an order line for the Sentinel Desktop computer includes a quantity of 2, and coverage line 12345 that covers
the computer also includes a quantity of 2 because a separate warranty is required to cover each of the two Sentinel
Desktop computers. If you modify the quantity on the order line for the Sentinel Desktop from 2 to 1, then Order
Management will modify the quantity on coverage line 12345 from 2 to 1.
Split Fulfillment Lines

If you split a fulfillment line that includes a covered item, then Order Management also splits the coverage item.
Assume you create an order line for the Sentinel Desktop that includes a quantity of 2, then add one coverage line that
includes an Extended Warranty, also with a quantity of 2. If you split the fulfillment line for the Sentinel Desktop into two
separate lines, each with a quantity of 1, then Order Management also splits the coverage line into two fulfillment lines,
one each with a quantity of 1.
If Order Management splits the covered line during fulfillment, then it can add a new coverage item to each of the
covered lines that result from the split.
An order import can't add a new coverage to the entire sales order. Assume a sales order includes 10 units of a laptop
on a single order line. Order Management splits the fulfillment line into fulfillment line x with a quantity of six, and
fulfillment line y with a quantity of four. Order import can't add an extended warranty for 10 units. However, you can
split fulfillment line x in Order Management, then add six units of the extended warranty.

Cancel Coverage for Sales Orders

You can cancel coverage for a sales order that's in Processing status.
• If the sales order is in Closed status or Partially Closed status, then you must return it.
61
• You can cancel coverage but not return the covered item. For example, a customer might decide to cancel a
six month warranty for a laptop computer during the third month of the warranty period, but keep the laptop
computer, which is the covered item.
• If you cancel only the coverage item, and don't return the covered item, then Order Management sets the return
quantity of the coverage item to the returnable quantity. You can't change this value.
• If Order Management already fulfilled the coverage item, then you must create a separate return order to return
it.
In this example, you cancel the coverage item but don't return the covered item.
Cancel coverage for a sales order:

1. Go to the Order Management work area, then click Tasks > Manage Orders.
2. On the Manage Orders page, search for the sales order that includes the coverage you must cancel.
3. In the Search Results, in the Order column, click the link to the sales order that contains the coverage you must
cancel.
4. On the Order page, click Actions > Create Revision.
5. In the Order Lines area, in the row that includes the coverage item you must cancel, click the down arrow at the
far right of the line, and then click Cancel Line.
6. In the Cancel Line dialog, select a reason, then click OK.
7. On the Order page, click Submit.
Order Management cancels the coverage line, then prorates the portion of the coverage item that the customer
didn't use as a credit memo.
Assume the customer purchased a coverage item for a 12 month warranty for $120. Each month costs $10. The
customer cancels the warranty in the middle of the sixth month of the warranty period. Order Management
fulfilled six months of the warranty, so Order Management creates a credit memo in the amount of $60.

Return Covered Items

If the sales order is in Closed status or Partially Closed status, then you can return a covered item that the sales order
references.
You return a covered item in the same way you return an item that isn't covered. For details, see Return Sales Orders.
Here's what Order Management does when you return a covered item.
• Cancels all coverage items for the covered item, even if the coverage items are on different sales orders.
• Sets the return quantity of the coverage item to the same value as the return quantity of the covered item.
• If you change the return quantity of the covered item, then Order Management also changes the return
quantity of the coverage item.
62
• Refunds the account when it receives the returned item.
◦ Order Management uses a credit memo to prorate the portion of the coverage item that the customer
didn't use.
◦ If the coverage item includes recurring charges, then Accounts Receivable prorates and credits the
remaining amount for the current period, then cancels future invoices according to the coverage end
date.
Make Complex Cancellations and Returns

You might need to cancel or return more than one coverage item for the same covered item.
Assume the Sentinel Desktop Computer includes two coverage items.
Sales Order Order Line Item Quantity Associated Order Line
00001 1 Sentinel Desktop Computer 10 Not Applicable
00001 1:1 Service Warranty 10 Order 1, line 1
00002 1 Parts Warranty 10 Order 1, line 1
Assume you added the service warranty when you created sales order 00001, but you added the parts warranty
sometime later in a separate sales order after Order Management fulfilled the Sentinel Desktop Computer.
Return Some of the Covered Items
Assume you return a quantity of 2 of the Sentinel Desktop Computer. The Associated Order Line references the return
order so Order Management can process the covered item and the coverage items together.
Return Order Order Line Item Quantity Associated Order Original Order

Return the Remaining Part of the Parts Warranty
Some time later, you must return the remaining part of the Parts Warranty coverage. You can use the Order Page to
locate sales order 00002, then return only order line 1 of sales order 00002.
Item Quantity to Return Returnable Quantity Associated Order Line Original Order

Coverage for Configured Items

Add a coverage item to a configured item.
• Add coverage to a configured item in the same way you add coverage to a nonconfigured item. For details, see
Add Coverage to Sales Orders.
• Add coverage to each configure option, depending on how your order administrator sets up coverage for the
item.
• If you change coverage for a configured item, then Order Management applies the change to each configure
option that the coverage can cover.
• If you delete a configure option, and if a coverage item covers the configure option, then Order Management
also deletes the coverage item.
• If you reconfigure a configured item, then Order Management reapplies the coverage. For example, if you
add configure option blue and delete option red, then Order Management adds coverage to blue and deletes
coverage from red.
• If you return a configured item, and if a coverage item covers the configured item, then Order Management
cancels the coverage item that covers the configured item, and also cancels any coverage items that cover the
configure options.
• You can cancel coverage for a configured item but not return the configured item.
Change Quantity
If you change quantity on the covered order line, then Order Management automatically changes quantity of the
coverage line.
Assume an order line for the Sentinel desktop computer includes a quantity of 2, and coverage line 12345 that covers
the computer also includes a quantity of 2 because each of the computers require a separate warranty. If you change
the quantity on the Sentinel Desktop order line from 2 to 1, then Order Management will change the quantity on
coverage line 12345 from 2 to 1.

Add Subscriptions to Sales Orders

Add a subscription to a sales order.
• A subscription is an item that provides a product or service that recurs.
For example, a one year subscription to a magazine that recurs each week, a 90 day subscription for cell phone
service, and a six month subscription for software usage are each an example of a subscription.
• A subscription includes a charge that recurs.
• A coverage item can cover a subscription.
• You can order some subscriptions without including a coverage item that covers the subscription. For example,
a coverage item doesn't typically cover a simple weekly magazine subscription.
• You can order some subscriptions as a covered item, then add a coverage item that covers some aspect of the
subscription. For example, a subscription to a cloud application is the covered item, and up time is the coverage
item.
• You can change, cancel, or return some subscriptions.
Here's an example.
• Your customer needs five subscriptions of the same magazine, one subscription for each person in their
department.
• The subscription period lasts for one week and recurs 52 times, resulting in a subscription that lasts for one
year.
• The subscription uses a weekly period so the customer can cancel at any time and incur a bill only for the weeks
they received the magazine.
66
Try it.
3. On the catalog line, search for the item, then click Add.
Attribute Value
Select Item Subscription to Visions Magazine
4. Set the values.
Quantity Set to 5.
Note
◦ This values sets the number of subscriptions.
◦ If you set Quantity to 5, then you're selling five subscriptions to Visions Magazine.
◦ Quantity doesn't affect UOM. For example, if you set Quantity to 5, and if UOM is Week,
then you aren't specifying 5 weeks.
UOM Set the time period. The values you can select depends on how your order administrator sets
up the subscription. This example uses a Fixed subscription, so you can't change the UOM.
Contract Start Date Select when to start the subscription.
Contract End Date As an option, select when to end the subscription.
Billing Frequency A subscription can bill one time or it can recur.
Assume your customer orders a subscription for one software license for 100 users with a three
year duration. You can bill the customer one time for the entire purchase, depending on how
your order administrator sets up the subscription.
67
Make sure your order line attributes contain these values.
Here's how Order Management calculates the subscription.
◦ Quantity of 5 multiplied by Your Price of 5 multiplied by Duration of 52 equals $1300.

5. Click Submit > OK.
◦ The Fulfillment Lines tab displays one fulfillment line for the covered item and one fulfillment line for the
coverage item, and includes attributes that are specific to the coverage item, such as Duration, Period,
Contract Start Date, Contract End Date, and Sales Product Type.
◦ Fulfillment for a subscription can recur. For example, a weekly magazine fulfills one time each week.

No You can select a common lot but not a project lot.
Identify Serial Numbers
You must specify the correct serial numbers on the order line.
Assume you create an order line with these values.
Attribute Value
Item AS54999
Warehouse M1
Subinventory FGI
Locator ABC 1.1.1
Lot LL020
Revision Number A
Assume you use a serial, lot, or revision to fulfill item AS54999, and that you use a locator to fulfill the FGI (finished
goods inventory) subinventory.
Here's how to identify the serial numbers that you can use on the order.

2. On the Inventory Management page, click Tasks > Manage Serial Numbers.
3. On the Manage Serial Numbers page, search for the value.
Attribute Value
Item AS54999
71
4. Examine the search results.
You can set the From Serial Number attribute and the To Serial Number attribute on the order line to any serial
number that displays on the Manage Serial Numbers page where Subinventory, Locator, Lot, and Revision in
the search results match the values for these attributes on the order line.
Assume you see these search results.
Serial Number Item Subinventory Locator Lot Revision Number
AT341 AS54999 FGI ABC 1.1.1 LL020 A
AT342 AS54999 FGI ABC 1.1.1 LL020 A
AT343 AS54999 FGI ABC 1.1.1 LL020 A
AT344 AS54999 FGI ABC 1.1.1 LL020 B
AT345 AS54999 FGI ABC 1.1.1 LL500 A
Assume the quantity on the order line is 2. Here are the values that you can set on the order line.
Attribute Value
From Serial Number AT341
To Serial Number AT342
You can't use serial AT344 because the revision for AT344 is B, but the revision on the order line is A.
You can't use serial AT345 because the lot for AT345 is LL500, but the lot on the order line is LL020.
You can also specify a range of values. Assume the quantity on the order line is 3. Here are the values that you can set
on the order line.
Attribute Value
From Serial Number AT341
To Serial Number AT343
72
Here you have a range that includes AT341, AT342, and AT343. Inventory Management will pick all of the serials in the
range when it fulfills the item.
If you specify a range, then make sure the search results contain all the values in the range. For example, if you set From
Serial Number to AT341, and To Serial Number to AT343, then make sure the search results contains AT341, AT342, and
AT343.

Import
Imported Sales Orders
Some organizations import source orders from another ordering system into the Order Management work area. You can
manage these imported orders in the same way you manage a sales order that you create in Order Management.
• Order Management handles an imported order in the same way it handles an order you create in the Order
• You can edit an imported order, then submit it.
• You can't export a sales order to the source system.
• Order Management doesn't update the source system with modifications it makes to the sales order. However,
the source system can request details about order status.
• If you import a revision, and if the revision contains a new value for an attribute, then the import replaces the
old value with the new value. For example, if the original order contains a Quantity of 5 and the import contains
a Quantity of 6, then the import replaces 5 with 6.
The order title displays details about the source order. For example:
• Source Order BAT-ALOP-0005-1418288641111- LEG | Currency = US Dollar

where
• BAT-ALOP-0005-1418288641111 is the source order number.

• LEG is the name of the source system. For example, LEG is an abbreviation for the term legacy. Some
organizations use the phrase legacy system to describe an older ordering system that they're replacing with a
newer one.
• Currency = US Dollar identifies the currency that the source order uses. Order Management uses currency so it
can interpret pricing values.
• If the source order includes a revision number, then Order Management also displays it.
You can identify the source system for a sales order.
1. On the Overview page, enter the order number in the Search field, then press ENTER on your keyboard.
2. On the Manage Orders page, in the Order column, click the order number.
3. On the Order page, click Actions > Switch to Fulfillment View.
4. Examine attributes that contain details about the source system, such as Source Order System.

More Details
Other Behavior on Sales Orders
Get details about actions and attributes that aren't described elsewhere in Using Order Management.
Edit Currency Details

Use the Edit Currency Details action to override the currency on the sales order header and to set the conversion to use
for accounting.
• Order Management comes predefined to use US Dollar as the currency, by default. If you modify this value,
then Order Management will use the currency you set when it prices the sales order.
• If you modify the currency, then the currency that Oracle Accounting uses in the ledger might be different from
the currency that your sales order uses. You can set the type, rate, and date that Oracle Accounting uses when it
converts the sales order currency to the ledger currency.
• To set the Rate attribute and Date attribute in the Edit Currency Details dialog, you must first set the Type
attribute in the dialog to User.
• Learn about different values that you can set in the Type attribute, such as User, Spot, or Corporate. For details,
go to Implementing Applications, then search for Guidelines for Creating Conversion Rate Types.
• Your order administrator determines the values you can set when you edit currency details.
Selling Profit Center

Your order administrator might set up the Order Management work area so you can set the Selling Profit Center
attribute on a sales order line that's different from the business unit on the order header.
• Sell items that belong to more than one profit center in a single sales order.
• You have more than one tax registration across regions, such as across states in the United States. Your order
administrator might set up taxing according to the Selling Profit Center. Ask your order administrator for
details.
Override Behavior
You can override values on various pages and tabs of the Order Management work area.
• If your override results in an attribute value on the order line that's different from the value for the same
attribute on the order header or some other tab, then Order Management adds a blue dot on the line to indicate
the difference.
• If you then change the attribute value on the order header or other tab, then Order Management doesn't copy
your change to the line that has the blue dot.
Status Icon
The status icon might not match the item you searched for.
79
If you query the user request number and status to get the results of a mass action, then the results might be different
than what you expect because Order Management might not have completed the mass action for every fulfillment line.
For example, if you search for user request number 123 and the Completed user request, then the search results display
the completed fulfillment lines, but Order Management might display the Processing status icon on some of the
fulfillment lines because it's processing some other user request for these lines.
For more, see How Order Management Processes Change Orders and How Order Management Transforms Order Lines
Into Fulfillment Lines.
Watchlist
You might not be able to see some of the items on your Watchlist because of your Watchlist preferences. These
preferences also apply to saved searches that you're using as Watchlist items.
To review your preferences, select your user name or image in the global header, then go to Personalization > Set
Preferences > Watchlist.
Here are some other possibilities:
• You deselected saved searches in the Manage Watchlist dialog, so they're no longer used as Watchlist items.
• You deleted saved searches that were used as Watchlist items.
• Your administrator disabled specific predefined Watchlist items or categories for all users.
• Your administrator disabled using saved searches from specific pages as Watchlist items.
• Your administrator removed access to tasks or pages that used to be available to you.
In these cases, you can no longer see the Watchlist items in your Watchlist or in your Watchlist preferences.

Using Order Management Manage Order Lines
3 Manage Order Lines

Update More Than One Order Line
Select one or more order lines, specify attributes to update, specify values for these attributes, then update all the
selected order lines.
This feature is useful when you must change more than one order line with the same attribute value. For example, use it
to change the Shipping Method attribute for 50 order lines instead of updating it 50 separate times on each order line.
Assume you must update the warehouse for all order lines so they use Seattle Manufacturing.
1. Create a sales order, then add more than one order line.
2. On the Order Lines tab, in the column below Actions, in the header row, click the cell immediately to the left of
Item.
The Order Lines tab selects all order lines. To select individual order lines, hold down the Ctrl key on your
keyboard, click the cell in the column below Actions for each row you must select, then release the Ctrl key.
3. Click Update Lines.
4. In the Select Attributes area, in the Available window, click Warehouse.
5. Click Move Selected Items to Other List.
6. Notice that the Selected window contains Warehouse, then click Next.
7. In the Specify Values area, set warehouse to Seattle Manufacturing, then click Update.
8. Click Shipment Details > Supply.
9. On the Shipment Details tab, in the Order Line Details area, verify that the Warehouse column contains Seattle
Manufacturing for all order lines.
This feature is most useful when you're revising a sales order or creating a return order. For example, if you create a
new order, go to the Shipment Details tab, click Supply, then set the Warehouse to Seattle Manufacturing in the header
part of the Supply area, then the order the value from the header to the Warehouse attribute in the Order Line Details
area. But the sales order doesn't cascade the value when you're revising a sales order or creating a return order. So, use
Update Lines instead.

8. Click Add Adjustment, then set the values.
Attribute Value
Type Discount percent
Amount 10
Basis List Price
Reason Other
The Edit Sale Price dialog adds a 10% discount to the manual adjustment. A percent discount uses the list price
or net price that you specify as the adjustment basis when it calculates the adjustment amount, then deducts
the adjusted amount from the net price.
For example, assume list price of the desktop computer is $500, you set Basis to List Price, and you enter 10 for
amount. The discount is $500 list price multiplied by 10% equals $50.
9. Click Save and Close.
Set Adjustment Type

Sequence More Than One Adjustment

The Edit Sale Price dialog calculates adjustments in the same sequence it displays them. If you add more than one
adjustment, then the sequence might affect price.
Assume you add these adjustments.
The dialog uses this sequence to calculate price.
Step Description Math
1 Calculate percent discount. 10% multiplied by $250 List Price equals $25
discount.
2 Subtract percent discount. $250 minus $25 equals $225 Net Price.
3 Subtract amount discount. $225 Net Price minus $10 equals final Net Price
of $215.
Assume you click the up arrow next to the number 2 to move discount amount to the top.
85
The dialog uses this sequence to calculate price.
Step Description Math
1 Subtract amount discount. $250 minus $10 equals $240 Net Price.
2 Calculate 10% discount. 10% multiplied by $240 Net Price equals $24
discount.
3 Calculate final Net Price. $240 minus $24 equals $216.

Recurring Charges on Order Lines

If you add an order line that includes a recurring charge, then Order Management displays text, such as per Month, in
the Your Price field to indicate the charge.
Here's an example that includes a charge of $1,200.00 that recurs one time every month.
• 1,200.00 per Month

Set Receivables Transaction for Reverse Billing

If you change the Your Price attribute on the order line, then make sure the value in the Receivables Transaction
attribute supports your change.
With most order lines, the price contains a positive value when the Line Type is Buy and a negative value when the Line
Type is Return, so you don't need to adjust the Receivables Transaction attribute.
But in some situations, you might need to set the price to a negative value for a buy and a positive value for a return. If
you do this, you need to make sure you set the Receivables Transaction attribute so invoicing reverses the billing.
Order Management sets the Receivables Transaction attribute to Invoice for a buy and Credit Memo for a return by
default regardless of the amount you enter. Here's what you need to do.

Manage Channel Programs on Sales Orders

Order Management automatically applies supplier programs to each order line that's eligible to participate in the
program, depending on how your order administrator sets up Order Management.
• Order Management applies the supplier program each time you change the Customer attribute, or save,
reprice, or submit the sales order. It also applies the program each time you add an order line or modify the
quantity or UOM on the order line.
• You can manually add an eligible program to the line depending on the program type. Pricing calculates the
resulting supplier accruals, then Order Management includes them in the price breakdown on the order line.
• If the program type allows you to decline the program, then you can decline it on the order line.
Assume you work for Vision Corporation, a distributor who sells the AS54888 desktop computer to your customer
Computer Service and Rentals. Big Computers, your supplier, offers the latest model of the AS54888 in January 2020 at
$2,000 each. You purchase 100 of them, and sell one to Computer Service and Rentals at a price of $2,100.
93
Note
1. A year later, in January 2021, Big Computers has a newer, more powerful model available, the AS6000, which
they offer to you at $2,000 each, which is the same price you paid for the AS54888 a year earlier.
◦ In turn, you drop the price that you charge Computer Service and Rentals for the AS54888 that you still
have in inventory to $1,900.
◦ Vision Corporation needs to recoup the amount it paid Big Computers when it bought the AS54888 in
January 2020, so Vision Corporation reaches an agreement with Big Computers where Big Computers
agrees to compensate Vision Corporation for the $200 drop in price that it now charges Computer
Service and Rentals.
◦ Your order administrator sets up the agreement as a supplier program in the Channel Revenue
Management application.
◦ The supplier program specifies the incentives and terms of engagement between you and your supplier.
For example, it specifies the incentive, the item that's eligible for the program, when its eligible according
94
to the requested ship date or ordered date, the unit of measure, and other factors. You can decline or add
supplier programs on the order line, depending on how your order administrator sets them up.
2. You sell one AS54888 to Computer Service and Rentals for $1,900.
3. Pricing calculates a $200 supplier accrual according to terms in Channel Revenue Management. Order
Management displays this value in the price breakdown on the order line. The accrual doesn't affect the price
that Computer Service and Rentals pays.
4. Order Management fulfills the order, Channel Revenue Management tracks the change, and Oracle Financials
sends a debit memo to Big Computers so Vision Corporation can recover the $200.
For details, see Channel Flows: Buy Side vs Sell Side.
Manage an Incentive on an Order Line

Assume you must remove an automatic incentive and manually add another.
1. Check with your order administrator to determine whether you're authorized to manage incentives. If you aren't
authorized, then you can view incentives but not modify them.
2. Create a sales order, then add an item to an order line.
3. On the order line, click Actions > Manage Incentives.
◦ Use the Actions menu on the order line. Don't use the Actions menu that's above the order line.
◦ The Incentives dialog displays. Notice that the dialog displays any automatic incentives that your order
administrator has set up. You can leave them or click Remove to remove them.
4. Click Add Incentives.
5. Set the values, then click OK.
Program Type Identifies the type of channel program that you're applying.
Program Name Name of the channel program from the order line.
Program Line Indicates whether Order Management applies the program to one item, or to all items.
Program Details Describes the discount type and discount value that Order Management applies to the item.
◦ Discount
◦ Percent
◦ New cost
Apply Type System Applied means Order Management automatically applied the program.
User Applied means a user used the Order Management work area to apply the program.
Decline Reason You can decline a program. If you do, as an option, enter details that describe why you're
declining.
95
Action Click a value.
◦ Apply
◦ Decline
6. On the order line, in the Amount column, click the amount.

7. In the Amount dialog, notice the lines that Order Management added for the incentive, such as Supplier Accrual
of 200 USD for Vision Incentives. Order Management displays incentive amounts on the price breakdown for
the order line but not the order header.
Configured Items and Kits

You manage incentives for a configured item or kit slightly differently than you do for an item that isn't configured.
Assume you must manage incentives for the CN62441C configured item.
1. Create a sales order.

2. Add the CN62441C configured item to an order line.
3. On the order line, in the Item column, click More.
4. On the Components page, in the Amount column, click Actions > Manage Incentives.
5. In the Manage Incentives dialog, set your values, then click Done.
Note
• Order Management automatically applies eligible incentives to the parent and each child of a configured item
or kit when you add the parent to the sales order.
• You can manually apply an incentive to parent or child.
• Order Management doesn't cascade incentives from parent to child regardless of whether it automatically adds
incentives or you manually add them. Instead, Order Management considers each individual child separately.
Return Orders
Here is the behavior when you create a referenced return.
• If the order line has an incentive, then Order Management copies the incentive to the return line and reverses
the incentive. Order Management applies this behavior for automatic incentives and manual incentives.
• Order Management doesn't automatically apply new incentive programs that your order administrator added
since you created the original sales order.
• You can view an incentive on a referenced return, but you can't change it.
• If you have the correct privilege, then you can manually add or remove an incentive on an unreferenced return
line. For details, see Return Items Without Original Sales Order.
If the return line doesn't reference the original order, then Order Management automatically applies the incentive that
your order administrator has set up, then reverses the sign.
96
Revise and Copy

If you revise a sales order, and if the line has shipped, is awaiting billing, canceled, or closed, then you can't revise an
incentive on the order line.
If you copy a sales order that has an incentive, then.
• Order Management doesn't copy the incentive to the new sales order. Instead, it automatically applies any
incentive that's currently eligible for the line.
• You can't enable the Freeze Pricing and Shipping Charges option when you do the copy.

The sales order sets shipment, billing, and payment values by default according to the customer you select. You can
accept the default values, or modify them to meet your requirements.
99
Use the Shipment Details tab.

• Set ship-to details, such as the ship-to contact person.
• Set the method, such as United States Postal Service.
• Specify freight terms, such as prepaid.
• Specify shipment priority, such as High.
• Add text that describes packing and shipping instructions.

• Set billing details, such as the bill-to contact person.
• Set the payment term, such as Net 30.
• Enter purchase order details.
• Edit accounting details.
Select the Customer First

The value you set in the Customer attribute affects values you can select in other attributes. For example, the sales
order only displays contacts in the Bill-to Contact attribute who are associated with the customer. This behavior also
applies with the Bill-to Location, Ship-to Contact, Ship-to Method, Warehouse, Supplier, and so on. If you can't find the
value you need, ask your order administrator.
Select Billing and Payment Details

Order Management might disable some attributes on the Billing and Payment Details tab. For example, you must select
the Bill-to Location before you can select the Bill-to Contact, and you must select the Bill-to Contact before you can
select the Bill-to Method.
Order Management might also disable other attributes depending on the value you select in the Customer attribute. For
example, your order administrator might set up the customer so it uses only one Bill-to Location.
Select Accounting Details
Tell Order Management how to send accounting details to Oracle Accounts Receivable.
1. Add your order line, then click Billing and Payment Details.
2. In the Order Line Details area, on the order line, click Actions > Edit Accounting Details.
3. Set the values in the Edit Accounting Details dialog.
Accounting Rule Select the revenue recognition to send to Oracle Accounts Receivable for the invoice line.
If you select an accounting rule, then Oracle Accounts Receivables will use the value you select instead
of the default value it uses.
Invoicing Rule Select the time frame to send to Oracle Accounts Receivables. The time frame determines when to
recognize receivables if the invoice includes more than one accounting period.
100
If you select an invoicing rule, then Oracle Accounts Receivables will use the value you select instead of
the default value it uses.
Receivables Transaction Select the accounting for debit memos, credit memos, on-account credits, and invoices that Oracle
Accounts Receivable creates.
Specify whether your transaction entries update customer balances and whether Oracle Accounts
Receivable posts these transactions to your general ledger.
Oracle Accounts Receivable doesn't use a default value for the receivables transaction. It will use the
value you select.
Override Details on Order Lines

Use these tabs to refine details for your order lines.
Some values that you set on these tabs override values you set elsewhere in the sales order. For example, you can enter
a value for the Purchase Order on the order header that applies to all order lines. You can also enter a value for the
Purchase Order on the Billing and Payment Details tab when there's a different purchase order for the order line.

Estimate Availability for Order Lines
Get an estimate of whether Order Management can fulfill each order line.
In this example, get an estimate for an order line you create for customer Computer Service and Rentals for item
AS54888.
2. On the Create Order page, set the Customer attribute to Computer Service and Rentals.
3. On the catalog line, search for AS54888, then click Add.
4. Click Shipment Details.
5. Click Estimate Order Availability.
6. Examine the value in the Availability Status column.
Availability Status Description
On Time Order Management can fulfill the order line on time.
101
Availability Status Description
Delay of x Days Order Management can fulfill the order line, but only after a delay.
For example, a status of Delay of 5 Days means Order Management can fulfill the order line
five days after the Requested Date.
Supply Not Available Order Management can't fulfill the order line.
No Data Was Retrieved An error exists in the data or in the application setup. For details, ask your order administrator.
Adjust Attributes That Affect Availability Status

If the status displays a delay, and if the customer can't accept the delay, or if the status indicates Order Management
can't fulfill the order line, then adjust one or more of these attributes to reduce delay.
Attribute Value to Set
Request Type Arrive On
Requested Date Set to a later date.
Shipping Method Set to a faster method. For example, change it from standard ground shipping to overnight priority
shipping.
Ship Lines Together No
For details, see Ship Order Lines in Shipment Sets.
Latest Acceptable Date Set to a later date.
Allow Partial Shipments of Lines Yes
For details, see Specify Shipping Details for Sales Orders.
Shipment Priority Yes
For details, see Specify Shipping Details for Sales Orders.
Warehouse Set to a warehouse that's physically closer to the ship-to address, or who maintains a superior
fulfillment performance.
Supplier Set to a supplier who maintains a superior fulfillment performance.
Supplier Site Set to a supplier site that's physically closer to the ship-to address.
102
Attribute Value to Set
Demand Class Set to a higher priority.
Allow Item Substitution Yes
Ship-to Address Set to an address that's physically closer to the warehouse or the supplier. Make sure your customer
can accept the new ship-to address.
Shipment Set Leave empty.
Click Estimate Order Availability again after you adjust attributes. Order Management updates and displays the status
according to your adjustments.
Example
Assume you discover the transit time is long for some reason. You can set Request Type to Ship On to reduce or remove
the delay.
Value Description
Ship On Use the date when order fulfillment expects to ship the order line from the fulfillment source, such as
the warehouse or a supplier.
Arrive On Use the date when order fulfillment expects the carrier to deliver the order line to the ship-to address.
The Request Type attribute affects how Order Management calculates availability status. Order Management will
attempt to reduce or remove the delay according to the value you select.
Another Example
Set the Ship Lines Together option to one of these values.
• Yes. Calculate availability status according to the order line that causes the longest delay. Use this setting when
your customer must receive order lines in one shipment.
• No. Calculate availability status differently for each order line. Use this setting when your customer can accept
receiving order lines in more than one shipment. It might reduce delay for some lines.
Points to Consider
• Availability status provides an estimate according to the fulfillment environment that exists when you click
Estimate Order Availability.
• Order Management fulfills each order line according to the environment that exists when you click Submit.
• The fulfillment environment is constantly changing. Another sales order might reserve inventory that was
available to fulfill your order line, the carrier might experience variation in their delivery time, and so on.
• The actual delivery date might be different than the estimate.
103
How Order Management Calculates Availability Status

Here's how Order Management gets availability status.
1. Determines the total inventory.

2. Subtracts the committed inventory from the total inventory.
3. Subtracts the expected ship date from the expected arrival date.
4. Calculates the time required to ship the item from the warehouse to the customer.

Override Shipment Details

Your sales order automatically sets shipment details on the order line according to the customer you select on the order
header. You can override these details on each order line.
2. On the Create Order page, select a value in the Customer attribute.
3. On the catalog line, search for an item, then click Add.
5. In the Availability Status column, click the down arrow, then click Override Order Line.
6. In the Override Order Line dialog, set the values for the attributes you must override, then click OK.
Note
• Order Management will use the override values you provide only for the order line you're editing. To override
values for other order lines, use the Override Order Line dialog for each order line.
• If you override a value, then modify a value in the order header, or in the header area of a tab, then Order
Management doesn't remove your override.
Assume you override the Bill-to Customer and the Requested Date on an order line. You then modify the Bill-
to Customer in the order header, and you also modify the Requested Date in the header area of the Shipment
Details tab. Order Management will continue to use your override values for these attributes.
If you prefer to use the values from the headers, then you must remove the override, then modify the value in
the header.
• You can't set the value for some attributes in the Override Order Line dialog until you set the value for another
attribute. For example, you must set the Ship-to Customer attribute before you can set the Ship-to Address
attribute.
Here's when Order Management automatically sets an override.
• You set Allow Partial Shipments to No.
• You don't set the Shipping Method, Warehouse, or Supplier on the Shipment Details tab. You click Submit, then
order fulfillment sets the value for each of these attributes, and Order Management overrides them with the
values that order fulfillment sets.
104
The View Order page and the Revise Order page displays the Override icon for each order line that contains an
override.

Specify Shipping Details for Sales Orders

Use the Shipping section of the Shipment Details tab to specify shipping details.
Set Acceptable Dates

Set the values in the Latest Acceptable Date attribute and the Earliest Acceptable Date attribute to specify when the
customer is willing to accept shipment.
If you don't set them, then Order Management will attempt to deliver the sales order no earlier than the Ordered Date,
and no later than the Requested Date.
Latest Acceptable Date Set the Latest Acceptable Date to happen anytime after the Requested Date. If you set it, then Order
Management will attempt to deliver the sales order no later than the Requested Date.
Earliest Acceptable Date Set the Earliest Acceptable Date to happen anytime before the Requested Date. If you set it, then Order
Management won't deliver the sales order before the Requested Date.
This feature is useful when your customer can't receive delivery until some point in the future. For
example, the customer is traveling and won't be at the delivery site, or the delivery site is under
construction.
If you set the Request Type attribute to Arrive On, then you can't specify the Earliest Acceptable Date.
Allow Partial Shipment

If you set the Allow Partial Shipments of Lines option to Yes, then Order Management can ship one order line in more
than one shipment, if necessary.
Consider a scenario.
• You create a sales order that includes 100 units of a desktop computer on a single order line.
• Order fulfillment considers only Supplier A and Supplier B.
• Supplier A can fulfill 75 units and Supplier B can fulfill 50.
You set Allow Partial Shipments of Lines to a value.
105
Value Description
Yes Order Management will immediately fulfill the sales order. It might ship 60 units from Supplier A in one
shipment, and 40 units from Supplier B in another shipment.
These shipments might arrive at the customer site at different times, depending on how long it takes
the supplier to assemble the order, variations in transit time, and so on. For example, the 60 units from
Supplier A might arrive on October 1, and the 40 units from Supplier B might arrive on October 4.
No Order Management will delay the shipment until Supplier A or Supplier B can fulfill 100 units, and then
ship all units in a single shipment from the supplier who can fulfill the line.
Ask your customer to determine whether receiving the sales order in a single shipment is most important and
potentially delaying it, or whether the customer can receive the order in more than one shipment and potentially receive
it on different days.
Shipping in more than one shipment might increase transit cost.
For technical details, see Update Attributes on Split Order Lines for Partial Shipments.
Set Other Attributes on the Shipping Tab
Shipment Priority Prioritizes shipment for this sales order in relationship to other sales orders.
Shipping Instructions Order Management sends the text you enter in the Shipping Instructions attribute and the Packing
Instructions attribute to other applications that reside downstream in order fulfillment, such as Oracle
Packing Instructions Shipping, or some other application that your order administrator specifies. These downstream
applications can print the text on packing slips or other shipping documents.

manufacturer resides in the Supplier Site attribute.
Demand Class Place a priority during order fulfillment on this sales order when compared to other sales orders.
If you don't specify a demand class, then Order Management fulfills this sales order on a first-come,
first-serve basis.
• You are an order manager at a company that's attempting to renew the approved supplier status
with ABC Corporation.
• The negotiators at this corporation stated they're considering not renewing the status because
several sales orders are late.
• You must make sure Order Management delivers the late orders with priority.
• You search for all fulfillment lines for ABC Corporation, select them, open Edit Fulfillment Lines,
then set Demand Class to High Priority.
Allow Item Substitution Substitute the item the customer is ordering with some other item.
Assume your customer is ordering a laptop computer with a 150 GB hard drive, the supply of 150 GB
hard drives is low, but a surplus of 180 GB hard drives exists.
If you allow item substitution, Order Management will substitute the 180 GB hard drive for the 150 GB
hard drive, depending on the substitution rules your order administrator set up.
Use this feature when inventory is low or out of stock and the customer can't wait for order fulfillment
to replenish stock.

Shipment Sets
Ship Order Lines in Shipment Sets
Ship order lines together so they all ship and arrive on the same date.
A shipment set is a set of order lines that Order Management ships together as one group. All of these lines ship and
arrive on the same date, although they might ship across more than one package, depending on packing requirements.
• For example, assume your sales orders often include a desktop computer, monitor, mouse, and keyboard. You
can ship them together in a shipment set.
107
• Use a shipment set when your customer must receive all the order lines in a shipment set in the same shipment
but can receive other order lines separately or as part of another shipment set.
• Use a shipment set instead of the Ship Lines Together option when you must specify shipping on only some of
the order lines, or you need to group lines into sets.
• Use a shipment set to reduce shipping charges. It usually costs less to ship fewer packages.
• You can create more than one shipment set for a single sales order.
• You can create a shipment set on a single order line.
General Guidelines
• Make sure each line in your shipment set uses the same value for.
◦ The source you use for the item, such as Warehouse, Supplier, and Supplier Site
◦ Requested Ship Date and Scheduled Ship Date
◦ Shipping Method and Shipment Priority
If you need different values for these attributes, then create more than one shipment set and group your lines
into each set according to the lines that can use the same attribute values.
• You can add an order line to a shipment set only when you add the line to the order. For example, you can't
submit the order, revise the order, then add the line to the set.
• Don't add a return order line to a shipment set.
• Don't add lines to the same shipment set when you fulfill them through different fulfillment flows. For example,
don't add order line 1 when you fulfill it through a drop shipment that a drop ship supplier supplies, and order
line 2 through on-hand inventory that's available in the warehouse in back-to-back fulfillment.
Substitute
• You can't move an order line from one shipment set to another shipment set.
• If Order Management already shipped the order line, then you can't remove the line from the shipment set.
• You can substitute a standard item, but you can't substitute a configured item or kit.
• You can substitute the required components of an assemble-to-order item, but not the optional ones.
• Use the Check Availability action to substitute an item that's part of a shipment set. Don't use the Substitute
Item action. For details, see Fix Problems and Improve Performance.
• Don't substitute an item in a drop ship flow. Assume you want to substitute the AS55000 desktop computer
for the AS54888 desktop computer. Instead of substituting these items, cancel the order line that has the
AS54888, which also cancels the purchase order for the AS54888. Create a new order line that has the
AS55000, which creates a new purchase order for the AS55000.
Partial Shipment
Partial shipment happens when Order Management can fulfill only part of the quantity because all of the quantity isn't
available in inventory. Assume quantity is 10 on an order line, Order Management ships 4, and places 6 on backorder.
• Order Management ships the backordered quantity when it becomes available in inventory.
• You can cancel the entire quantity that Order Management hasn't shipped.
• You can't update an attribute on a fulfillment line that Order Management has only partially shipped.
108
You can't cancel only part of the quantity. You can cancel the entire 6. You can't cancel part of the backorder,
such as 3.
• You can't update any line in the shipment set that Order Management hasn't shipped.
• If Order Management already shipped even one line of the shipment set, then you can't add another line to the
set.
• If Order Management ships only some of the lines or only part of a line in the shipment set, then it might
remove the lines it hasn't shipped from the set. You can fulfill or cancel the removed line, but you can't do an
action on it, such as Edit, Unschedule, Unreserve, and so on.
Revise
• You can't use Create Order Revision to add an existing order line to a new or existing shipment set. For
example, you can't move shipment set n from order x to order y. You must create a new shipment set in order y.
• If you revise a line that's part of a shipment set, then Order Management revises all lines in the set. The
shipment set applies only to attributes Warehouse, Shipping Method, Requested Ship Date, or Requested
Arrival Date. For example, if you change the Shipping Method to Second Day Air on a line in a set, then Order
Management changes the method to Second Day Air on all other lines in the set.
• Order Management processes the revision on all lines so it can estimate the scheduled ship date according to
the quantity you changed.
• If Order Management already shipped at least one line in the set, then you can't add a line to the set when you
revise a sales order.
• If you cancel all lines in a set, then you can't add a new line to the set. Instead, add your line to a different
shipment set.
• You can't add lines and remove lines in a shipment set at the same time. Instead, revise the sales order, remove
your line in the set, then submit the order. Wait for Order Management to process the revision. Revise the order
again, add your line, then submit the order.
• You can't remove lines and cancel lines in a shipment set at the same time. Instead, revise the sales order,
remove your line from the shipment set, then submit the order. Wait for Order Management to process the
revision. Revise the order again, cancel the line, then submit the order.
Coverage
Add an order line that has a coverage item only if you're using the shipment set to group the coverage line with the line
that it covers. For example, if line 1 contains the AS54888 Desktop Computer, and line 2 contains a warranty that covers
the AS54888 on line 1, then its ok to include line 1 and 2 in the set. Otherwise, don't add lines that you can't ship to your
shipment set, such as a service, coverage, warranty, subscription, and so on.
If an order line contains a coverage item.
• You can't assign a shipment set to the line because you can't ship a coverage item.
• You can't edit the shipment set attribute on the line even if you override the line.
• You can't use the Update Lines action to edit or update shipment set the values on the line.
If an order line contains a coverage item, and.
• You use the Ship Lines Together option, then Order Management doesn't assign the default shipment set to the
coverage line.
109
• You assign a shipment set to the line before update 20D, then you can use the Override Order Line action in
the Order Management work area to update the value in the Shipment Set attribute. For details, see Override
Shipment Details.

Assume.
• You have three lines in a shipment set, and each line has a quantity of 10.
• Order Management ships 4 units of line 1, and 3 units of line 2.
• Order Management hasn't shipped any units of line 3.
• Here's the status.
Line Quantity Status
1 4 Shipped
1 6 Backordered
2 3 Shipped
2 7 Backordered
3 10 Awaiting Shipping
Now you can.
• Cancel all of line 3 and not take action on any other line.
• Cancel all of line 3 and cancel all of the backordered quantity on lines 1 and 2.
• Cancel all of the backordered quantity on lines 1 and 2 and not take any action on line 3.
If you want to cancel backordered or staged quantity, then you must cancel all the backordered or staged quantity in the
shipment set. You can't cancel the backordered or staged quantity on only some lines. For example, you can't cancel the
backordered quantity of only line 1, or only line 2. You must cancel all of the backordered quantity on lines 1 and 2.
Learn how to cancel a line in a shipment set. For details, see Cancel Order Lines That Remain in the Same Status.

Shipment Tolerances
Shipment Tolerances
Use shipment tolerances to help manage the variability in your supply chain that makes it difficult to fulfill an exact
quantity on an order line on a specific date.
Use a tolerance to make sure you can ship the entire manufactured quantity to your customer, even if it exceeds
the ordered quantity. Eliminate inventory carrying costs for the additional quantity and increase revenue. Reduce or
eliminate the time you spend doing a manual workaround to manage order fulfillment, and, as a result, improve your
customer's satisfaction.
Variability is inherent in some supply chains. For example:
• Item attributes that affect fulfillment vary for instance of the item, such as weight, size, complexity, and so on.
• Your item is prone to natural phenomena that you can't control or predict, such as fruit or produce that molds
in the field if its too wet, dries out quickly if its too hot, or a percent of it spoils while held up in a queue during
shipping when going through customs or an agriculture check.
• Your supply source is inconsistent and constantly changing.
• Your manufacturing process is complex and prone to widely variable failure rates.
• The political environment or government policies affect your supply chain in a way that makes it hard to
accurately predict when and where you will source material, how you build the item, the shipping channels that
are available to you, and so on.
Example
Assume you work for Green Corp, a sustainable forestry products company that uses railroads to ship a bulk material,
such as raw timber that you haven't kiln dried or milled. Your customer orders a quantity of 900 tons.
115
Note
• You plan to ship the order on train cars that have a maximum capacity of 100 tons each.
• You must reserve the cars weeks in advance, the railroad charges you for each car, so you prefer to fill them as
close to capacity as possible. But there's a significant variation in the amount of lumber you can get on a single
car because moisture content varies from season to season and year to year, and moisture content affects
weight. Even the location where you source the lumber affects the weight of your product, such as the wet
Pacific Northwest compared to the drier Rocky Mountains.
• Given these factors, its nearly impossible to accurately and consistently predict weight or volume, so you
arranged an agreement with your customer to deliver quantity within a range that you and your customer can
tolerate.
• The agreement is to ship with a 10% over shipment tolerance and 10% under shipment tolerance.
116
• 10% of 900 is 90, so you can ship between 810 tons (900 minus 90) and 990 tons (900 plus 90) and remain
within the tolerance.
• The actual shipment ends up being 870 tons during fulfillment, which is an undershipment. Billing bills the
customer for 870 tons.
Examine Shipment Tolerances on Order Lines

Your order administrator sets up default values for shipment tolerances. You can't change them, but you can view them.
The shipment tolerance attributes on the order line come predefined as hidden. You must display them.
1. Create a sales order and add an order line.
2. On the order lines tab, click View > Columns, then add a check mark to the attributes.
◦ Over Fulfillment Tolerance

◦ Under Fulfillment Tolerance
3. Notice the values that these attributes contain on the order line.
If you don't see the attributes when you click View > Columns, or if the tolerance values aren't correct, then
contact your order administrator.
4. Click Shipment Details, click View > Columns, then add a check mark to the attributes.
Note
• The value in a tolerance attribute represents a percent. It doesn't represent a quantity. For example, if the
Quantity attribute contains 10, and if Over Fulfillment Tolerance contains 10, then Over Fulfillment Tolerance
represents 10% of 10, which is 1. So, shipping can ship up to a quantity of 11 because 10 plus 1 is 11.
• Tolerances are specific for each item or, depending on how your order administrator sets them up, for each
business unit.
• If you copy a sales order, then Order Management doesn't copy tolerances from the sales order. It gets the
default values that your order administrator set up. The values in the copied order and the default values will be
the same most of the time.
• If you split an order line, then Order Management copies tolerances from the line you split to the new line.
• Order Management doesn't update pricing during shipping, so the sales order doesn't update the order line
total according to shipped quantity. If an overshipment or undershipment happens, then the order line total is
different from the line total on the invoice.
• Order Management doesn't do credit check during shipping, so an overshipment or undershipment on an order
line affects the overall credit limit when compared to the authorized credit limit.
Limitations
You can't.
• Change tolerance values when you revise an order.

• Use tolerances with a configured item, kit, or item that doesn't ship, such as a subscription or warranty. If your
order administrator enables shipment tolerances, then Order Management sets tolerance values to zero for
these items, and you can't change the value.
• Associate a coverage item with a covered item line that has shipment tolerances.
117
• Use tolerances in a drop-ship flow, return material authorization, transfer order, return transfer order, return to
supplier, or outside processing.
Covered Items
If the order line includes a covered item, and if it has shipment tolerances, then you can't add another order line that
adds coverage to the covered item. Assume you add an order line for the Lumber item, and your order administrator
set up Lumber so the order line automatically adds 10% under tolerance and 10% over tolerance. You can't add another
order line that covers Lumber, such as insurance.
Shipment Set
You can add an order line that has tolerances to a shipment set.
The shipment set can include more than one order line that has tolerances.
The tolerances can be different for each line in the set.
Return Orders
If you create a return that references the original sales order, and if the original sales order includes shipment
tolerances, then Order Management uses the fulfilled quantity or shipped quantity on the original order line instead of
the ordered quantity when it calculates the quantity you can return.
Order Management sets the tolerance attributes to zero on each return line.
Adjusting Price for Some Returns
You can do a manual price adjustment to correct the amount on the return line for some returns.
You can return an item that has tolerances, but if you over shipped the order line on the original sales order, and if your
order administrator sets a parameter named Quantity to Invoice for Overshipment to Ordered Quantity, then returning
more than the ordered quantity might cause the returnable amount on the return line to be greater than the invoiced
amount on the original order line.
Assume the original order line has a quantity of 100, each priced at $10. You over ship a quantity of 110, but you bill your
customer for only 100, which is the ordered quantity. The total bill is quantity 100 multiplied by price of 10 equals $1,000.
You create a return for the order line, your customer wants to return the entire quantity of 110, so you will send a total
credit of $1,100 to your customer, which is 110 multiplied by 10. You will be returning $100 more than the billed amount,
which is only $1,000. To correct the amount, do a manual price adjustment of $100 on the return line.
Manage Shipments and Pick Slips That Include Shipment

Tolerances
You use different work areas to manage shipments and pick slips that include shipment tolerances.
118
Manage Shipments
1. Sign in with the privileges that you need to manage shipments.
Here are some predefined job roles that have these privileges.
◦ Warehouse Manager
◦ Shipping Manager
◦ Warehouse Operator
◦ Shipping Agent
This topic uses predefined job roles. You must create your own job roles, depending on your security
requirements. For details, see Privileges That You Need to Implement Order Management.
3. On the Inventory Management page, click Shipments > Show Tasks > Shipments > Manage Shipment Lines.
4. On the Manage Shipment Lines page, search for your sales order.
5. In the search results, click View > Columns, then add a check mark to each attribute.
Requested Quantity Requested quantity from the sales order.
Maximum Undershipment Percentage Maximum percent under the requested quantity that you can ship and still consider the line
fulfilled.
For example, if the requested quantity is 100, and if Maximum Undershipment Percent is 10,
then you can ship 90 and consider the line fulfilled. If you ship 89, then it isn't fulfilled.
Maximum Overshipment Percentage Maximum percent over the requested quantity that you can ship and still consider the line
fulfilled.
For example, if the requested quantity is 100, and the Maximum Overshipment Percent is 10,
then you can ship 110 and consider the line fulfilled. Shipping doesn't allow you to ship 111.
Shipped Quantity Quantity that Shipping actually shipped.
6. Examine the values.
Manage Pick Slips
1. On the Inventory Management page, click Shipments > Show Tasks > Shipments > Confirm Pick Slips.
2. On the Confirm Pick Slips page, search for your pick slip.
3. In the search results, click the link in the Pick Slip column.
119
4. On the Confirm Pick Slip page, examine the attributes.
Requested Quantity Displays the requested quantity from the sales order.
Picked Quantity Enter the quantity you actually picked.
Source Subinventory Select the subinventory you used to pick the quantity.
Maximum Picked Quantity Displays the maximum quantity you can pick according to the overshipment tolerance.
For example, if the requested quantity is 100, and if Maximum Overshipment Percent is 10, then
you can pick a maximum quantity of 110. Shipping doesn't allow you to pick 111.
If necessary, use View > Columns to display this attribute.
Note
• Shipping allocates material up to the ordered quantity, but you can pick more than the allocated quantity. To
close a shipment, Shipping evaluates your tolerance settings on the line, then cancels any remaining lines that
aren't manifested, confirmed, or shipped.
• For a shipment set, if each line in the set meets the tolerance behavior, then you can pick and ship the lines
together. If under tolerance applies, and if the quantity of the lines that Shipping shipped is less than the
order quantity, and if the quantity on the shipped lines also meet the under tolerance quantity, then Shipping
assumes the shipment meets the shipment set criteria and considers that shipping for the shipment set is
done.
• If you or shipping stages more quantity than the tolerance requires, then you must manually move the material
back to storage.
• If you or shipping stages more quantity than the tolerance requires, and if automatic packing splits the line and
creates a new line, and if the requested quantity exceeds the staged quantity on the new line, then you must
manually pack the line.
• If shipping automatically stages lines, then you can use the split line action to create another line and ship more
quantity.
Billing and Payment

Edit Recurring Billing
If you add an item that includes recurring billing, then the sales order displays the recurring charge on the order line.

Note
• You can modify the attributes in the Edit Recurring Billing dialog in any sequence. No attributes are required,
and no attribute affects any other attribute that the dialog displays.
• The Your Price column on the Order Lines tab doesn't display any overrides that you specify for recurring
billing.
• You can edit recurring billing only for an item that your order administrator has set up for recurring billing. Ask
your order administrator for details.
Override the Billing Plan

Use the Billing Plan Overrides attribute to specify how to override each of the billing periods.
For example, assume you set Number of Billing Periods to 12, and you use these values in the Billing Plan Overrides
area.
Period Quantity Amount
1 2 20.00
121
2 2 60.00
3 2 40.00
11 2 70.00
12 2 40.00
Here's what the sales order will do.
• Use the values you set in the Override Amount attribute for periods 1,2,3,11, and 12.
• Use the default values for periods 4 through 10.
• Use the value you set in Override Quantity for billing period 1.
• Use the default quantity for all other billing periods.
Note
• The values that you enter affect only the period that you specify. They don't affect the amount for the default
billing plan or any other billing periods.
• You can specify an override for up to five billing periods.
• You can specify only a single period in each override line.
Recurring Billing Start Date

If you need to start billing on a date that is different from the first billing period, then set the Recurring Billing Start Date
attribute to the date when you want to start billing. Otherwise, leave it empty.
Assume you add an order line that has a service you bill monthly, such as Garden Maintenance.
Item Garden Maintenance
Charge Type Recurring at $100 for each month.
Quantity 1
UOM Ea
Assume:
• The contract starts on January 18, 2024.

• The contract ends on January 17, 2025.
• The contract duration is 12 months.
• The amount is $100 for each month, with a total amount of $1200 ($100 multiplied by 12 months).
122
• You need to bill the first invoice on January 18, 2024 with an amount of $45 for the January 18 through January
31 billing period.
• Each subsequent invoice must have an amount of $100, billed on the first day of the month for one month of
service, February 1, March 1, and so on until the contract ends.
• The amount for the last billing period will be $155.
To implement this example, you set these values in the Edit Recurring Billing dialog.
Attribute Value
Number of Billing Periods 12
Recurring Billing Start Date 2/1/2024

This date specifies when your billing will start.
Recurring Billing End Date Leave empty.

Example of Editing Recurring Billing

Use the Edit Recurring Billing dialog to set up a complex billing plan for a sales order.
For example, set up a plan that includes more than one contract period, bills monthly, adds a fee for some services, and
so on.
Assume you work for Mega Phones, a company that sells subscriptions for mobile phones.
• The service comes in one, two, and three year contract periods.
• Mega Phones allows only monthly billing.
• Mega Phones provides enhanced service on a monthly basis, and the enhanced service is $50 extra for each
period.
Here's what you need to do.
• Set the contract start date to the same day that the customer calls to request service.
• Start service according to the date that the customer requests.
• Set the billing start date to the date that the service actually starts.
• Bill customers on the 20th day of each month.
Assume today's date is November 15, 2023, which is the order date, and a customer calls and requests service.
• Two year service agreement.
• Enhanced service in months 4, 5, and 6 because they want to use the Mega Phones unlimited international
conferencing application during these periods.
• Start the service the next day, which is November 16, 2023.
You use the Edit Recurring Billing dialog to set up this plan. Here are the values you set in the top part of the dialog.
Attribute Value
Contract Start Date November 16, 2023
Contract End Date November 16, 2025
Recurring Billing Start Date November 20, 2023
Recurring Billing End Date Leave empty.
Recurring Invoice Start Date Leave empty.
Order Management will use the date that you set for the Recurring Billing Start Date as the date to start
the recurring invoice period.
For details, see the How Accounts Receivable Sets Invoice Dates section in this topic.
Number of Periods 24
You must manually calculate the number of periods.
125
Attribute Value
In this example, the agreement is for two years, and the billing happens monthly. So the calculation is
12 multiplied by 2 equals 24 periods.
For another example, if the agreement is for three years and billed quarterly, then the calculation is 3
multiplied by 4 equals 12 periods.
Frequency Month
Learn how to use this dialog. For details, see Edit Recurring Billing.
Here are the values that you set in the Billing Plan Overrides area of the Edit Recurring Billing dialog.

How Accounts Receivable Sets Invoice Dates

Here's what Oracle Accounts Receivable does for this example.
• Sets the date for the first invoice to November 15, 2023 by default, which is the order date, and includes billing
for this invoice for period November 16, 2023 through November 19, 2023, which is four days of service.
• Bills subsequent invoices monthly. For example, it sets the date for the second invoice to December 15, 2023,
and includes billing for this invoice for November 20, 2023 through December 19, 2023.
• Sets the date for the last invoice to Nov 15, 2025, and includes billing for this invoice through November 16,
2025.
Set an Invoice Date That's Different From the Billing Date

The second billing period is November 20, 2023 through December 19, 2023, and this billing period might need an
invoice date that happens on a date that's different from the 15th day of every month.
For example, assume Mega Phones policy requires you to create invoices on the first day of each month, but you set the
Recurring Billing Start Date to November 20, 2023 because this is the date that the service actually starts.
To meet this requirement, you can set Recurring Invoice Start Date to December 1, 2023. Oracle Accounts Receivable will
then create subsequent invoices and set the invoice date to the first day on each month instead of to the 15th day of the
month.
126

Reauthorize Payment
If you revise a sales order and it affects payment, then Order Management reauthorizes payment.
For example:
• You change the Bill To Customer attribute on the Billing and Payment Details tab of the sales order.
• You change the Bill To Account attribute only on order line 3, then click Submit. Order Management will
reauthorize only line 3. The other order lines will continue to use their existing authorizations because no
change occurred on those lines or on the header billing details.
• You change the Bill To Account attribute on the order header, then click Submit. Order Management will
reauthorize the order header and the order lines.
• You add a new order line, then click Submit. Order Management will authorize the new line.
If you revise a sales order and it doesn't affect payment, then Order Management doesn't reauthorize payment. For
example, Order Management doesn't reauthorize payment if you modify the sales representative or manually split an
order line.

Manage Credit Cards on Sales Orders

Add and manage the credit card that you use on each sales order.
Adding a credit card is optional, depending on how your Order Administrator sets it up.
Try it.
1. Create a sales order, then set the Customer, Business Unit, and Bill-to Account on the order header.
The values you set for these attributes affects the credit cards that you can add to the sales order. You must set
them before you add the credit card.
2. Click Billing and Payment Details, then set the value.
Attribute Value
Payment Method Credit Card
127
Attribute Value
You can use only one payment method for each sales order. You can't use Credit Card and On
Account on the same sales order.
3. Notice the information that the Payment Details area displays.

4. Use the default value, or select a new value in the Credit Card attribute to select a different card.
Attribute Value
Credit Card Number on the credit card that the issuing bank provides.
This is typically a 16 digit number, in the format XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, such as 7684 5980
8456 1156.
Name on Card Name of the cardholder, usually the person or company who purchases the item, such as
Computer Service and Rentals.
Statement Billing Address Physical mailing address where the issuing bank sends statements for the credit credit, such as
301 Summit Hill Drive, Denver, CO, 80014.
Voice Authorization An option that indicates that you got authorization to use the credit card for this sales order,
typically on a phone call with the person or company that processes the credit card transaction,
such as the bank that issued the credit card.
Voice Authorization Date Date when you received authorization to use the card.
Use the date picker to make sure you use the correct format.
Voice Authorization Code Abbreviation that identifies the authorization.
Get this value from the organization that processes the credit card transaction, which is
typically the bank that issues the credit card, such as JPMorgan Chase Bank for a Visa card
purchase.
5. If you can't find the card you need.
◦ Click Create Credit Card.

◦ In the Create Credit Card dialog, enter values, then click Pay-PS.
◦ In the Payment Details Area, set the Credit Card attribute to the card you just created.
Order Management associates the new card with the business unit that you set on the order header.
You can't delete a new card that you create, but you can disable it.
6. Add your order lines, then click Submit.
128
Order Management communicates with Oracle Financials, who in turn communicates with the issuing bank
to make sure the credit card hasn't expired and doesn't exceed the credit limit. If the card doesn't meet these
requirements, then Order Management doesn't allow the submit, and you must revise the order.
If the issuing bank approves the purchase, then the bank adds the transaction to the credit card account and
Order Management fulfills the sales order.
Override Credit Card on Order Line

You can use a card on each order line that's different from the card on the sales order. You can use different cards on
different order lines.
1. Create a sales order, set the Payment Method attribute to Credit Card, then add an order line.
2. Click the Billing and Payment Details tab.
3. In the Order Line Details area, click Actions > Override Order Line.

How Order Management Processes Change Orders
Order Management can incorporate a change order that it receives from a variety of sources.
Here's how.
1. Receive a change order from the Order Management work area, a source system, or a fulfillment system
2. Use processing constraints to determine whether to allow the change. A processing constraint is a rule that
controls who can change a sales order, what can change in the sales order, and when the change can occur.
If constraints.
◦ Allow the change. Order Management accepts the change, then determines whether to adjust the
orchestration process to accommodate the change.
◦ Don't allow the change. Order Management displays an error message that describes why you
can't make the change. For example, if you change the Warehouse attribute to a value that the order
administrator hasn't set up for the item.
3. Identify the orchestration process steps that already finished and the steps that it must adjust.
4. Set the status of the tasks that finished before the change occurred, and set the status for the orchestration
process to Change Pending.
5. The fulfillment system accepts the request.
6. Each task that makes the adjustments finishes running.
7. Order Management sets the status of each task to a normal status, such as Completed.
8. Order Management creates an event when it finishes order compensation or when an error occurs during order
compensation. Order Management uses the event to display details you can use to monitor fulfillment.
Order compensation is the process Order Management uses to modify a sales order so it accurately reflects
your change. Assume you change the warehouse. Order compensation adjusts the order so it uses the different
warehouse, updates delivery dates so they accurately reflect the time needed to ship the item from the different
warehouse, and so on.

Revise Sales Orders That You Already Submitted

If you must revise a sales order that you already submitted, create a new version of it, then edit the new version.
1. On the Overview page, click Advanced.
As an alternative, if you know the sales order number, search for it on the Overview page.
2. On the Manage Orders page, set the value, then click Search.
133
Attribute Value
Status Equals Processing
You can create a new version of a sales order only if its in Processing status or Closed status. You might not be
able to modify some attributes in the new version after the sales order is Closed.
3. On the Manage Orders page, in the Order column, click an order number.
4. Click Actions > Create Revision.
Order Management stops processing the sales order, creates a new draft that you can modify, and adds a
version number in parentheses immediately after the order number to indicate each version you create.
Here's an example of version 2.
◦ Create Order Revision: Computer Service and Rentals - 507412 (2) - Draft
5. Edit the sales order, then click Submit.
Order Management creates a new sales order and displays the new order number.
◦ Computer Service and Rentals - 507412 - Processing
Order Management increments the version number each time you create a new version. You can view each version.
1. On the Overview page, use Search to locate and open the sales order.
2. On the Manage Orders page, notice the versions.
You can revise only the current version. You can't revise an earlier version.
For example, if you create a sales order and revise it, then Order Management displays (2) in the status line. If
you revise it again, then Order Management displays (3). You can revise only version 3. You can't revise version
2.
Guidelines
• If Order Management doesn't immediately confirm the submit, wait a moment, then query for the order on the
Overview page. Don't resubmit the sales order. If you resubmit, then Order Management will create another
revision and start another orchestration process, which might cause an error because a separate orchestration
process will run for each revision.
• You can't revise a sales order that you haven't submitted. Instead, edit the draft of the sales order.
• You can't retrieve a sales order version that you discard.
• A Gantt chart in the Order Management work area might display the status of a task as canceled. This occurs
because Order Management might cancel a task and run it again, but you happened to view the task while it
was in the canceled state.
If you revise:
• An order line, then Order Management will use the order line attributes that you revise. It will set attribute
values to empty for each attribute that you don't revise.
• Only the order header, then Order Management will revise the header but not the order lines.
134
• Order Management doesn't use values from the order header to set default values on order lines during
a revision in some situations. If Order Management already shipped an order line, delivered it, or started
invoicing for it, then you must revise the order line. For example, to revise payment terms, you must revise the
Payment Term attribute on each order line.
Revise Shipped Lines

• You can't revise the price on an order line that Order Management already shipped.
• If Order Management splits a fulfillment line and ships part of the split line, then you can't cancel the quantity
that you already shipped. If you must cancel that quantity, then create a new return line for that shipped
quantity. If you also need to cancel the quantity that you haven't shipped, then create a revision and cancel the
split line that has that unshipped quantity.
Update Attributes on Split Order Lines for Partial Shipments

You have different capabilities depending on whether you use the Update Attributes on Split Order Lines for Partial
Shipments feature.
If Shipping already shipped part of the line, or if Receiving already received part of the return line, and if you:

you can update an extensible flexfield
on a split line. The orchestration process
compensates it's fulfillment tasks.
You can do this in a standard or in a back-

or a return order.
If you don't enable the Use Flexfield Attributes option, then you can change the value in the flexfield regardless of which
fulfillment flow you're using or whether you use the feature.
135
You can't update attributes that identify change in these conditions regardless of whether or not you use the feature:
• The line contains a configured item and the item is out of proportion.
• The line is part of drop shipment that you partially shipped or is a return line that you partially received.
If you do one of these revisions and encounter an error, then discard your draft revision and create another one.
For details, see:
• Update Attributes on Split Order Lines for Partial Shipments

• Manage Order Attributes That Identify Change
• How Configure-to-Order Works
• Track Supply for Partial Shipments
Cancel
• You must explicitly request the cancel when you revise a sales order. Order Management doesn't implicitly
cancel order lines.
• To cancel an order line you haven't submitted, on the Order Lines tab, click the down arrow, then click Delete.
• If you click Create Revision to revise a sales order, don't save or submit your changes and click Cancel, then
Order Management still creates a draft of your revision. If you then query for the order, you will see two
revisions of the order. The lower revision is in Processing status and the higher revision is in Draft status. Order
Management will continue to process the version that's in Processing status and won't do anything with the
version that's in Draft status.
Increase Quantity
If you increase the quantity on an order line while you're revising a sales order, and if Order Management split the
original line because the original quantity wasn't available in inventory, and if your new quantity isn't available in
inventory, then Order Management won't split the line and the line might remain in Scheduled status until the entire
quantity is available.
Assume you create sales order 520530. You add an order line with a quantity of 10 and submit the order, but only 8
are available in inventory. Order Management splits the order line into two lines, x and y, x with a quantity of 8 and y
with a quantity of 2. It sets the status for line x to Awaiting Shipping and sets the status for line y to Scheduled. Order
Management does this so it can fulfill line x right away instead of waiting until the quantity of 10 is available in inventory.
Let's say you revise the sales order, increase the quantity on the order line to 12, and submit it. Order Management
already shipped 8, so you now need to fulfill a quantity of 4, 2 for the original quantity that wasn't available plus 2 more
for the quantity you just added.
Order Management won't split the line because it already scheduled part of the sales order in fulfillment, so your line
will remain in Scheduled status until the entire quantity is available. You also might encounter an error message.
A reservation was not created because the reservation quantity is greater than the available-to-reserve
quantity.
Here's how you can avoid this problem.

2. On the Overview page, click Tasks > Manage Fulfillment Lines.
3. On the Manage Fulfillment Lines page, search for the value.
136
Attribute Value
Order 520530
4. In the search results, in the Order column, click 520530.

5. On the Order page, click the fulfillment line that contains the quantity you must modify, then click Actions >
Unschedule.
6. Click Done > Done.
7. Revise sales order 520530, set your new quantity on the order line, then click Submit.
Order Management will ship the quantity that's available in inventory. If 4 are available, it will ship all 4 in one
line. If less than 4 are available, it will split the line, ship what's available on one line, then set the other line to
Awaiting Shipping and fulfill it when the quantity is available in inventory.
For details, see Fulfillment Line Splits.
Decrease Quantity
You can reduce the quantity on an order line that you already submitted but that Order Management hasn't already
shipped. To do this, create an order revision, set the Quantity attribute on the order line to the quantity that you want to
ship, then submit the order.
Don't change the quantity on the fulfillment line. If you do, Order Management will move the quantity that you reduce
to the Canceled Quantity attribute and will leave the Quantity on the order line at its original value, but that's probably
not the behavior you want. Assume you set the Quantity on the order line to 100 and submit the order. Some tine later,
you reduce the quantity on the fulfillment line from 100 to 90. Order Management will set the Canceled Quantity to 10
and leave the Quantity on the order line at 100. To avoid this problem, don't change the quantity on the fulfillment line.
Instead, create a revision and set the Quantity on the order line in your revision to 90.

Note
• Order Management doesn't cascade changes you make to an attribute from the header area of the tab to the
details area of the tab.
For example, if you change Shipping Method on the header of the General tab, then Order Management
doesn't automatically change the value of Shipping Method in the Order Line Details area.
• Use the Overridden column in Order Line Details to determine whether the order line is overridden. If an
attribute value in the detail doesn't match the attribute value in the header, then the line is overridden.
• Order Management applies processing constraints when you change any value in the tab header or detail. If a
constraint prevents the change, then Order Management disallows the change and displays an error message.
For example, if Order Management already started order fulfillment for the sales order, then you might need to
cancel the sales order and create a new one. For details, see Cancel Sales Orders.

Revise Configured Items

If you revise a sales orders that references a configured item, then make sure the change order that references the item
includes all the order lines.
These order lines reference options for the configured item. You must also make sure the change order references these
same items, then resubmit your change order.
For example, assume you create a sales order that includes six order lines. Some time later, you modify the date on only
one order line, such as line 2. You must send all six lines of the sales order even if you modify only one line.
Assume Order Management displays a message.

Order Management immediately stops order fulfillment for the sales order and cancels the sales order.
Cancel Remaining Quantity

If you set the Allow Partial Shipments of Lines option to Yes on the Shipment Details tab so Order Management can split
the line during scheduling, and if Order Management has shipped only some of the split order lines, then you can click
Cancel Remaining Quantity to cancel the quantity that Order Management hasn't shipped.
If your order line includes a split fulfillment line, and if Order Management splits the line when it ships the sales order,
then Order Management partially fulfilled the sales order. You can't revise the part of the line that Order Management
already fulfilled, but you can cancel the remaining quantity it hasn't fulfilled.
Assume you use the Update Attributes on Split Order Lines for Partial Shipments feature. If the order line has a quantity
of ten and Order Management ships seven of them, then you can increase the quantity or decrease it to any value of
zero to three. You can also click Cancel Remaining Quantity to cancel the remaining quantity of three regardless of
whether you use the feature. For details, see Update Attributes on Split Order Lines for Partial Shipments.
Order Management does this processing even if it fulfills the sales order from more than one warehouse.
Example
Assume Order Management splits a fulfillment line during scheduling so it can fulfill the lines from three different
warehouses, thus producing three split lines.
Order Management ships one of these lines. You can't cancel the shipped line, but you can cancel the two lines that
Order Management hasn't shipped.
If you order a quantity of ten, then Order Management splits the sales order into three lines, and fulfills each line from
these warehouses.
• Seven items from warehouse A

• Two items from warehouse B
• One item from warehouse C
Assume it ships seven items from warehouse A, but hasn't shipped any items from warehouse B or warehouse C.
You can't cancel the items that Order Management shipped from warehouse A, but you can cancel two items from
warehouse B, and one item from warehouse C.
Cancel Sales Order When It Has Lines That Aren't and Are Fulfilled
If a sales order has any fulfillment line that's fulfilled, then you can't cancel the order in the Order Management work
area.
Assume your order has 3 fulfillment lines in these statuses:
• Line 1. Scheduled.
• Line 2. Awaiting Fulfillment.
143
• Line 3. Shipped.
You can't cancel the sales order because Order Management already fulfilled line 3. If you need to cancel lines 1 and 2,
then create a revision, use the Cancel action on the order line to cancel lines 1 and 2 , then submit the revision.

Here are the attributes that the Shipment Details tab uses to describe the return.
Attribute Description for Return
Ship-to Contact Person at the organization who returns the item.
Order Management sets Ship-to Contact to the contact at the organization who received the
item in the original shipment.
In this example, Ship-to Contact is a person at Computer Service and Rentals.
You can modify this value when you create the return.
Ship-to Customer Organization that's returning the item.
Order Management sets Ship-to Customer to the organization who received the item in the
original shipment.
In this example, Ship-to Customer is Computer Service and Rentals.
You can modify this value when you create the return.
Ship-to Address Physical address of the organization or person who returns the item.
Order Management sets Ship-to Address to the address that received the item in the original
shipment.
You can modify this value when you create the return. For example, the organization moved to
another address since the original shipment was shipped.
Warehouse Warehouse that receives the return. We recommend that the customer send the return to this
warehouse.
Order Management sets Warehouse to the warehouse that shipping used to ship the original
item.
If some other supplier originally shipped the item, then Order Management doesn't set the
value for the warehouse.
You can select any warehouse from the list.
Supplier Outsider supplier who originally shipped the item to the customer.
Order Management sets Supplier to the outsider supplier who originally shipped the item to the
customer.
147
Attribute Description for Return
In this example, assume Vision Corporation is the outside supplier, so it sets Supplier to Vision
Corporation.
Supplier Site Physical address of the supplier who originally shipped the item to the customer.
Order Management sets the values for several of these attributes when you create the return.
For example, assume Computer Service and Rentals is a customer who purchased and received a Sentinel
10000-S Tablet from Vision Corporation. Computer Service and Rentals determines that the tablet is defective
and must return it.
8. Monitor your return.
◦ Click Actions > Switch to Fulfillment View.

◦ Click Returns.
◦ In the Orchestration Process Number column, click the number.
◦ In the Orchestration Plan tab, periodically monitor the status for each task.
Here are the tasks that a return typically includes.
Task Description
Return Receipt Track when the warehouse receives the return item from the customer, such as Awaiting
Receiving.
Invoice Track the status of the invoice, such as Not Started.
9. Receive the return order.
If you receive the physical items that the customer returns as part of your job responsibilities, then you can use
Oracle Receivables to receive the return order. For details, see Receive Returned Items.
Conditions That Determine Whether You Can Return an Item

Each order line that you return must meet these conditions.
• Your order administrator must set up the item in the Product Information Management work area so it's
returnable. For details, see Guidelines for Processing Return Orders.
• The fulfillment line that contains the item that you want to return must be fulfilled or closed.
For details, see the Track Fulfillment Lines Through the Fulfillment Lifecycle subtopic in Order Management
Statuses.
148
• The returnable quantity on the order line must be greater than zero. The returnable quantity is the quantity
you ordered in the original sales order for an item, minus the quantity of all prior returns for this item from the
original sales order.
• The order line that you need to return must not already be a return order line.
• If the item you're returning is a configured item, then you must return the entire item. You can't return only
part of a configured item. Assume you purchase the AS54888 Desktop Computer, and configure it with the
24" Display configure option and the T100 Wireless Mouse. You can't return only the display or the mouse. You
must return the entire AS54888 computer, including the display and the mouse.
• If you're returning a subscription, and if the subscription is shippable, then your administrator must set up the
item in Product Information Management so it's returnable. If it isn't shippable, then the administrator doesn't
need to do this. For example, a subscription to a print magazine is shippable, but a subscription to a cellular
plan isn't.
• If you're returning a coverage, then your administrator doesn't need to set up the item in Product Information
Management so it's returnable.
If the item doesn't meet these conditions, then you can't return it, and the Return button might not be active.
What Happens When Other Returns Are Already Returning My Item

You can only return the quantity that you haven't already successfully returned and aren't in the process of returning.
Assume you create order 12345 for the AS54888 Desktop item with a quantity of 10. You now need to return some
of that quantity. You attempt to create a return but the Return button isn't available. Its possible another return order
already returned some of the quantity or is in the process of returning it.
Here's how you can identify the sales orders that reference the same original sales order you're attempting to return.
1. Go to the Order Management work area, then click Tasks > Manage Return Fulfillment Lines.
2. Enter 12345 in the Original Order Reference attribute, then click Search.
◦ The search results displays all sales orders that have return lines that reference original order 12345.
◦ If the total of the returned quantity is equal to the ordered quantity, then you can't create a new return.
◦ You can also search the Original Source Order Reference attribute.
Assume you create order 34567 that returns the AS54888 with a quantity of 6.
Next, you create order 45678 that returns the AS54888 with a quantity of 1.
Next, you create order 56789 and attempt to return the AS54888 with a quantity of 4. You can't return a quantity of 4
because it exceeds the returnable quantity.
• The returnable quantity 3 equals the original quantity 10 minus 6 from order 34567 and minus 1 from order
45678.
To fix this problem, change the quantity in order 56789 to 3 or less.

Return Items Without Original Sales Order

Return an item when you don't have the original sales order.
Assume your customer Computer Service and Rentals must return one AS54888 desktop computer and 1 year of
warranty coverage for the AS54888 because they ordered the wrong item, but the customer doesn't have the original
receipt, and you can't locate the original sales order.
You will create this return order.
150
Note
• The return uses negative values to indicate it will credit the account.
• The order line doesn't include a reference to the original order.
• The order line uses an icon with a left facing truck to indicate a return.
Here's how Order Management calculates the credit amount when you add the return to sales order.
• Sets attribute Billing Frequency to One Time Billing.
• Sets attribute Number of Billing Periods to 1.
• Prices the return line according to the price that exists on the date and time when you add the order line.
For example, if your customer purchases the item on January 1, 2018 for $2,300, returns it on January 1, 2019,
and if the price on January 1, 2019 is $2,500, then Order Management calculates the price at $2,500.
• Recalculates the sales order price according to the pricing that exists on the date and time when you save or
submit the sales order.
• Issues the entire credit to the customer instead of sending an individual credit for each period.
You can't modify this behavior.

In some situations, a coverage or subscription might not be a physical item that you return, so it might not require these
attributes.
• Expected Receipt Date. Order Management immediately sends the return electronically.
• Return Location. Order Management sends the return to an accounting system, not a physical location.
If the subscription includes a physical item that you must return, such as the modem that's part of an internet access
subscription, then you might need to specify these attributes and ship the item back to the warehouse.
Set Duration and Period

Setting duration and period depends on the type of coverage or subscription you set in the Item attribute. Your order
administrator defines each item, type of duration, and values for duration period.
Type of Duration Description
Fixed Order Management sets the value for the return according to how your order administrator sets up the
item. You can't modify duration or period.
Variable Order Management sets the value for the return according to how your order administrator sets up the
item. You can modify duration or period. You must not leave them empty.
Open Ended Duration is optional. You must set Period for a coverage item, or when you set Duration.
Return Kit
If you return a kit, then Order Management adds the kit and the included items on the same order line.
155
A kit contains included items. For example, DOO_KIT-DOO Kit Item is a kit, and it contains these items.
• KB42047- Power Cord
KB86324 - Packing Materials
You can't add a kit to an order line and then, on the same line, select included items to return. Instead, you can create a
separate unreferenced return line for each included item.
Copy Sales Orders

You can copy a sales order that includes return items that don't reference the original sales order. The copy will add
unreferenced return lines to the copy. It won't add lines that do reference an original sales order.

Using Order Management Fulfill Sales Orders
6 Fulfill Sales Orders
Monitor
Order Management Statuses
Use the Order Management statuses to monitor fulfillment for your sales order.
• Order Management displays a separate status for the sales order, fulfillment line, fulfillment task, and
orchestration process.
• Each status indicates the progress of a sales order from beginning to end.
• The statuses of the fulfillment lines, orchestration processes, and fulfillment tasks determine the sales order
status.
• You can use the Order Management work area to view the statuses.
Order Management sequentially evaluates each of the status conditions that a fulfillment line contains while it
processes your sales order. Order Management uses the fulfillment line status that has moved the furthest in the sales
order's life cycle to update the order status.
Where Order Management Displays Your Status
Status Where Displayed
Order Status At the top of the Order page in the order title.
For example, the order status of this sales order is Processing.
Order: Computer Service and Rentals - 282079 - Processing
Fulfillment Line Status In the Order Lines area of the Order page. For example, the status of this fulfillment line is Awaiting
Shipping.
Item, AS54888 - Standard Desktop, Status, Awaiting Shipping
You can also click Actions > Switch to Fulfillment View to view the fulfillment line status.
Orchestration Process Status In the Status field of the Orchestration Process page.
For example, Awaiting Fulfillment.
Fulfillment Task Status In the Status column of the Orchestration Plan tab of the Orchestration Process page.
For example, Awaiting Fulfillment.

Sales Order Status

Here's the general sequence that your sales order goes through.
Sales order status depends on the fulfillment line status.
Sequence Sales Order Status Description
1 Draft You clicked Save to save the order to the

database but haven't clicked Submit to submit
it to order fulfillment. You can modify a Draft
order.
Draft displays only if you click Save. If you

create a sales order without saving it, but
click Submit instead, then the status goes to
Processing.
2 Approval Pending Order Management sent your sales order to a

sales order approver.
This status displays after you click Submit,

but only if your order administrator set up
approvals.
For details, see Get Approvals for Sales Orders.
166
Sequence Sales Order Status Description
3 Processing You clicked Submit, but Order Management

hasn't delivered all fulfillment lines to the
customer.
You can't modify a Processing order, but you

can revise it. For details, see Revise Sales Orders
That You Already Submitted.
4 Open Order Management hasn't completed any

fulfillment lines.
5 Partial Order Management has completed some, but

not all, fulfillment lines.
6 Closed Order Management completed all fulfillment

lines. You can't modify a Closed order, but you
can create a return order to return items from it.
For details, see Return Sales Orders
Order Management might display some statuses only infrequently or never. For example, if your fulfillment system
fulfills the fulfillment lines in a matter of seconds, then Order Management might not display the Open status or the
Partial status at all. The status might go directly from Processing to Closed.
Your status might also display one of these values.
Sales Order Status Description
Reference An earlier version of a revised order. For example, if you revise an existing sales order, then click
Submit, then Order Management displays the earlier version of the sales order with a status of
Reference.
You can use sales orders that are in Reference status as an audit trail. Use them to see what the
attribute values are for each version.
Canceled Order Management canceled all fulfillment lines. It also removed the sales order from order fulfillment
and didn't reschedule it.
You can't submit a Canceled sales order to order fulfillment.
If Order Management canceled only some fulfillment lines, then it ignores the canceled fulfillment
lines, and sets the status according to the fulfillment lines that are open.
Order Line Status

The order line status depends on the fulfillment line status.
Order Line Status Fulfillment Line Status
Open Order Management hasn't finished any fulfillment lines.
167
Order Line Status Fulfillment Line Status
Partial Order Management has finished some, but not all, fulfillment lines.
Closed Order Management finished all fulfillment lines.
If the status of all the fulfillment lines in a sales order is Closed or Canceled, then you can't modify the
Primary Salesperson attribute on order header.
Canceled Order Management canceled all fulfillment lines.
If Order Management canceled only some fulfillment lines, then it ignores the canceled fulfillment
lines, and sets the status according to the fulfillment lines that are open.
Track Fulfillment Lines Through the Fulfillment Lifecycle

2. On the Overview page, click Manage Fulfillment Lines.
3. Search for your fulfillment line.
4. In the search results, click the row that has your item.
5. In the Attributes area, on the General tab, notice that the Status attribute contains one of these values.
◦ Scheduled
◦ Shipped
◦ Awaiting Billing
◦ Billed
◦ Closed
Your fulfillment line proceeds through each status sequentially during the fulfillment lifecycle.
If you cancel the fulfillment line, then the status is Canceled.
Backorder
A sales order might go into backorder.
Order Management uses the Scheduled Ship Date to determine how long the order has been on backorder. For
example, if the Scheduled Ship Date occurred five days ago but Order Management hasn't shipped the order because
inventory for an item isn't available, then the order has been on backorder for five days.
The Orders on Backorder area on the Overview page of the Order Management work area uses a bar chart to indicate
how long each sales order has been on backorder. If the Scheduled Ship Date occurs before the current date, and if
inventory isn't available, then the Orders on Backorder area might use the Less Than 1 Day bar to indicate that the order
has been on backorder for less than a day. The order will remain on this bar until Order Management ships the order, or
until the Scheduled Ship Date occurs at least one day after the current date.
Assume today's date is February 1 and the Scheduled Ship Date is February 6. The order will remain in the Less Than 1
Day bar until February 7. If Order Management hasn't shipped the order by February 7, then the Orders on Backorder
area will include the order in the 1 to 3 Days bar.

Monitor Order Fulfillment

Monitor and manage order fulfillment for each of your sales orders.
If you modify a fulfillment line, then Order Management usually modifies the orchestration process that processes the
fulfillment line. A modification might include a manual change or an automatic change, such as a change order, edit
to a fulfillment line attribute, or rescheduling. Order Management evaluates your modification and determines the
adjustments it must make to accommodate the change.
There are many ways to monitor fulfillment.
169
Note
• Enter your order number in the Search field.

• Use one of the Manage tasks.
• Click a bar on one of the bar charts.
In this example, you will use the Manage Orders task.
1. Go to the Order Management work area, click Tasks > Manage Orders, then search for your sales order.
2. On the Manage Orders page, in the Order column, click your order number.
3. On the Order page, click Switch to Fulfillment View.
Use the fulfillment view to monitor and manage order fulfillment. It displays the results of the order
transformation, such as the fulfillment lines and orchestration processes that Order Management added to
fulfill your sales order.
170
4. On the Fulfillment Lines tab, notice that Order Management added a separate fulfillment line for each order line
you created, and that each fulfillment line includes details about the order status and orchestration process.
For details, see How Order Management Transforms Source Orders Into Sales Orders.
5. Click an orchestration process number, such as 300100090333478.
171
6. On the Orchestration Plan tab, examine the fulfillment tasks that the orchestration process scheduled to fulfill
the fulfillment line, and the current status of each fulfillment task.
Here's an example where the jeopardy is low for each fulfillment task.
Note
◦ None of the tasks have started.

◦ The orchestration process might not start a fulfillment task for a number of reasons, such as the Planned
Start Date hasn't occurred, the Earliest Acceptable Ship Date might happen too far in the future, or other
sales orders might have higher priority.
◦ For details, see Fix Problems and Improve Performance.
Monitor Orchestration Plan

Let's take a more detailed look at another orchestration plan. An orchestration plan is a stepwise process that
orchestrates and plans the fulfillment of a sales order.
• It includes tasks, task statuses, planning dates, planning shipments, and so on.
172
• It might require anywhere from seconds to days to complete the tasks that it contains during orchestration
planning.
For example, if the customer purchases an item that isn't shippable, such as a subscription that ships
electronically, then the shipment might finish in a few minutes. If the item is shippable, such as a laptop
computer that a truck delivers to the customer, then the shipment might require several days to finish.
Here's an example orchestration plan that has completed all fulfillment tasks for the sales order up to the Invoice
fulfillment task, and is now waiting for billing to invoice the sales order.
A check mark indicates that the fulfillment task finished. Your orchestration plan might display different fulfillment tasks
and task statuses, depending on how your order administrator sets up Order Management.
This example orchestration plan includes these fulfillment tasks.
Fulfillment Task Description
Schedule Sends a scheduling request to order promising.
For example, to schedule a sales order, unschedule a sales order, or to check availability of the item.
173
Fulfillment Task Description
Reserve Sends a reservation request to the inventory fulfillment system. A reservation reserves the supply for a
sales order so no other sales order or system can use this supply.
Verify Trade Compliance Performs trade compliance screening. Your order manager might administer Order Management to
screen each sales order for trade compliance during order fulfillment.
For details, see Manage Sales Orders That Require Trade Compliance Screening.
Transportation Planning Sends a request to Transportation Management to plan transportation for the sales order.
Ship Sends a request to the fulfillment system that creates the shipment request. The shipping system
might send fulfillment line details to Order Management at any time when a status update happens,
including before it confirms a shipment.
For example, it sends updated details for attributes that display on the Fulfillment Lines tab.
• Scheduled Ship Date

• Scheduled Arrival Date
• Actual Ship Date
• Actual Delivery Date
Pause Waits for shipment delivery confirmation. A pause task can temporarily stop an orchestration process
from running so it can wait for fulfillment to meet a condition.
Invoice Sends a request to the billing system and interprets the replies that it receives from this system.
Order Management doesn't update the orchestration plan if you take any of these actions.
• Manually split a fulfillment line.

• Remove an order line from a shipment set.
• Change the warehouse.
• Substitute an item.
• Override the scheduled ship date.
For example, if you change the quantity on the fulfillment line from 10 to 100, then Order Management updates the
Reserve step in the orchestration plan to make sure it can deliver the fulfillment line on schedule. However, if you
change the warehouse, then Order Management doesn't update the Reserve step.
Monitor Assets
Depending on how your order administrator sets up Order Management, you can view the Asset Tracked attribute on
the Manage Fulfillment Lines page to monitor assets during order fulfillment. This attribute can contain one of these
values.
174
Value Description
Customer Asset Track the item as an asset only when you sell, lease, or loan it to your customer.
Oracle Applications will track each subsequent change to the item, such as a change to location,
ownership change, or a structural change. This tracking continues until the asset retires or the
customer returns it, for example, at the end of a lease.
Full Lifecycle Track the item as an asset when it enters an Oracle application. A purchase receipt, manufacturing
completion, or some other type of receipt starts the creation of the asset.
Oracle Applications will track each subsequent change until the asset retires, such as a change to
location, ownership change, or a structural change.
If an asset doesn't reference a serial number, then Full Lifecycle tracking is equivalent to Customer
Asset tracking.
Not Tracked Don't track the item as an asset.
View Fulfillment Details

The Fulfillment Line page displays lots of fulfillment details, but there are some attributes that it doesn't display directly
on the page. Here's how you can get details for some of these attributes.
1. Open your sales order, then click Switch to Fulfillment View.

2. Click Fulfillment Lines, then click the line that you're interested in, such as 1-1.

Jeopardy Score
Use jeopardy to get a quick visual cue of the likelihood that a fulfillment task will delay fulfillment, and then take action
to reduce delay.
Jeopardy indicates whether the orchestration process that's processing fulfillment lines for the sales order is at risk of
not meeting your customer's requested delivery date.
176
You can use jeopardy in Order Management to help prevent delayed delivery. Consider these concepts.
Concept Description
Jeopardy The level of risk that the delay of an orchestration process task might cause to meeting fulfillment
dates.
Jeopardy can be low, medium, or high.
Jeopardy score A numeric ranking that indicates the severity of a delay in meeting fulfillment dates.
Jeopardy priority A value that describes the level of risk that's associated with delaying a fulfillment task.
Jeopardy priority can be low, medium, or high.
177
Concept Description
Note
• Order Management uses forward planning and backward planning across an orchestration process to calculate
promise dates for each orchestration process task. If one of these tasks is delayed, then Order Management
uses jeopardy to indicate the severity of the delay.
• Order Management calculates jeopardy score and jeopardy priority every time it plans or replans an
• Order Management uses the lead time of each orchestration process step and the dates from the sales order,
such as required completion date, when it plans an orchestration process and assigns it to the sales order.
• Each fulfillment task includes a planned start date and a completion date.
• If a fulfillment task is delayed, then Order Management replans the entire orchestration process.
• If Order Management expects that a fulfillment task will finish after the required completion date of the task,
then it assigns a jeopardy score to each fulfillment task according to the jeopardy threshold.
• Order Management maps jeopardy score to jeopardy priority, then displays the priority in the Order
Jeopardy Priority
Jeopardy priority measures the fulfillment task that contains the highest jeopardy score. If more than one fulfillment
task in an orchestration process is in jeopardy of not finishing on time, then Order Management uses the highest
jeopardy score when it displays jeopardy for the orchestration process.
Assume supply in the warehouse that the Carpet Processing orchestration process references isn't sufficient to fulfill the
fulfillment line, so it causes delays.
• A three day delay for the Deliver Carpet task that results in a jeopardy score of 100 and a jeopardy priority of
Medium
• A three day delay for the Invoice Carpet task that results in a jeopardy score of 200 and a jeopardy priority of
High
Two hundred is the higher score, so Order Management uses the jeopardy score for the Invoice Carpet task as the
jeopardy for the Carpet Processing orchestration process. The Order Management work area displays a jeopardy priority
of High.
Jeopardy Score for Fulfillment Tasks

Order Management assigns a jeopardy score to a fulfillment task according to the jeopardy threshold. If a fulfillment
task is delayed, then Order Management calculates the difference between the required completion date and the
planned completion date for the task, then searches for a threshold that applies to the largest number of entities that
the fulfillment task references. Here's the sequence it uses when it searches for the threshold.
1. Search the process name, process version, task name, and task type.
2. Search the process name, process version, and task name.
3. Search the process name and task name.
4. Search the process name, process version, and task type.
5. Search the process name and task type.
6. Search the process task name.
7. Search the process name and process version.
178
8. Search the process name.

9. Search the task type.
For example:
1. Search for a jeopardy threshold that applies to the task type, task name, process name, and process version. If
Order Management doesn't find a threshold that applies to all of these attributes, then continue to step 2.
2. Search for a jeopardy threshold that applies to the process name, process version, and task name. If Order
Management doesn't find a threshold that applies to all of these attributes, then continue to step 3.
3. And so on.
Order Management continues this process until it finds a threshold that applies to one attribute or a combination of
attributes, then sets jeopardy score according to the threshold that it assigns to the fulfillment task.
Jeopardy score might change during replanning. If replanning results in a change to jeopardy priority, and if the
jeopardy priority value is enabled, then Order Management updates the jeopardy values.
Your order administrator sets up jeopardy, including thresholds that affect jeopardy score.

Jeopardy Score 300
Jeopardy Reason Schedule: Required Completion Date 02/06/10 12:00 AM, Expected
Completion Date 02/19/10 4:09 AM, Schedule
6. Examine the orchestration plan.
◦ Notice that the schedule, reserve, and ship tasks are complete, and the invoice task is in low jeopardy.
◦ But Jeopardy Priority and Jeopardy Score are high for the orchestration process.
◦ The Jeopardy Reason describes why the orchestration process is in jeopardy. In this example, it looks like
the Expected Completion Date happens 12 days after the Required Completion Date. That's not good if
your customer really needs it on the required date.
So, even though none of the tasks are in high jeopardy, the orchestration process is in jeopardy because
of some other condition.
◦ Jeopardy conditions for your orchestration process might be significantly different depending on how
your order administrator sets up jeopardy.
Here's another example.
181
Attribute Value
Jeopardy Score 545
Jeopardy Reason Invoice: Required Completion Date 04/25/18 8:08 PM, Expected Completion Date

Note
• The ship and the invoice tasks are in high jeopardy.
182
• Its likely that the delay in the ship task is causing a delay in the invoice task.
Each jeopardy scenario is different. You might need to explore why a task is in jeopardy.

Reports That Display Details About Fulfillment Line Exceptions

Get details about items, customers, and sales orders for a fulfillment line.
Report Description
Item Availability Displays details about the item that a fulfillment line references.
• Available quantity. Amount of inventory that's available to fill sales orders. It is the shelf quantity
minus the allocated quantity.
• Shelf quantity. Amount of inventory for an item that's currently on the shelf in the warehouse. It
includes allocated and not allocated quantities.
• Allocated quantity. Amount of inventory that Order Management currently reserves to fulfill a
sales order.
Count of Holds for This Item by Hold Name Counts the holds that Order Management applied to the sales order, order line, and fulfillment lines.
A single fulfillment line might include more than one hold.
Order Management caches this report and refreshes it according to the caching set up. The data isn't
real-time.
Order Age by Time Displays order age.
• The system date minus the ordered date for open orders, divided by the last updated date minus
the ordered date for closed orders
The last updated date represents the closed date.
If Order Management sets the date for a sales order at some time in the future, then a negative value
might result.
The Time axis displays according to the ordered date. For example, an order placed in May but closed
in June displays on the May bar in the graph.
Order Value by Time Displays the value in the currency that the Order Management work area uses. This currency might be
different from the currency that the original transaction uses.
Open Orders for This Customer by Age Uses the same calculation that the Order Age by Time report uses, except Open Orders for This
Customer by Age only displays open orders for the record that you select.
185
Report Description
This calculation might result in a negative value.
Count of Holds for This Customer by Hold Similar to the Count of Holds for This Item by Hold Name report, except the Count of Holds for This
Name Customer by Hold Name report counts hold according to a customer.
Fulfillment Line Exceptions for This Order Displays the open fulfillment lines for a single sales order. Each of these fulfillment lines might include
more than one type of fulfillment line exception that occurs at the same time.
This report might count a fulfillment line more than one time. For example, if a sales order includes
two fulfillment lines, and if each of these lines includes two exceptions, then the report counts four
exceptions.
Value of Fulfillment Lines by Hold Type Displays the value in the currency that the Order Management work area uses.
If you import source orders from a source system, then this currency might be different from the
currency that the source order uses.
This report doesn't count an inherited hold more than one time. For example, assume Order
Management applies a hold on a sales order, and the fulfillment line that the sales order references
inherits the hold from the sales order. In this situation, the report counts the hold only one time.
Average Age of Orders by Hold Uses the same calculation that the Order Age by Time report uses, except Average Age of Orders by
Hold counts the number of holds that Order Management applied to a sales order. It doesn't count the
holds that it applied to the fulfillment lines that the sales order references.
Reports That Display Details About Orchestration Process Exceptions
Report Description
Orchestration Process Exceptions by Type If an orchestration process includes more than one exception, then this report counts this process one
time for each exception that it contains.
Average Process Duration by Time Compares all orchestration process instances that Order Management has closed to the orchestration
process you select.
Count of Holds for This Customer by Hold Counts the number of orchestration processes that are stopped because a task is on hold. The count

Stop and Resume

Sales Order Hold
Order Management uses a sales order hold to temporarily stop an orchestration process from processing an order line
or fulfillment line. You can use a hold to manage order fulfillment.
You might need to place a hold for a variety of reasons.
• You submitted a sales order and Order Management scheduled it for delivery. Later that day, the customer who
placed the sales order realizes they can't receive it because they will be out of the country for three weeks. The
customer calls and requests to delay delivery.
• Personnel at the warehouse ask you to temporarily hold the shipment because a fire occurred in the warehouse.
• Your order administrator informs you that a problem might exist with an item, and requests that you
temporarily hold all your sales orders that include the item while your sales engineers investigate the problem.
A hold stops the orchestration process from doing the next task in the process. Here's how holds work.
Behavior Description
Automatically apply hold • Order Management automatically applies a hold if a change in the Order Management work area
requires Order Management to compensate the orchestration process. Order Management sends
a message to the fulfillment system to apply a hold so fulfillment stops while Order Management
compensates the orchestration process.
• Order Management automatically releases the hold after it finishes compensation.
• An orchestration process can automatically apply a hold only when a hold request already exists
in Order Management, in the source system, or in the fulfillment system.
For example, assume an orchestration process is at the scheduling step when a source system
sends a request to hold the shipping task. Order Management stores the request until the
orchestration process reaches the shipping step. It then searches for existing requests, and then
applies them.
Propagate hold • Order Management transforms a hold that it receives from a source system or a fulfillment
system. The hold becomes part of the sales order.
• If a source order includes a hold, then Order Management includes it on the fulfillment lines that
it maps to the sales order.
• If a fulfillment line includes a hold, and if Order Management splits the fulfillment line, then it
includes the hold on each new fulfillment line that it creates to do the split.
• If Order Management applies or releases a hold to one or more lines in a shipment set, then it
applies the hold on the entire shipment set.
Assume a shipment set includes lines 1, 2, and 3. If you apply a hold on line 1, then Order
Management applies the same hold on lines 2 and 3.
Display and process active hold • An active hold is a current hold on an orchestration process.
• The Hold Source System attribute displays the location of where the hold was applied.
188
Behavior Description
• If a fulfillment line includes a hold, and if the orchestration process that the fulfillment line
references hasn't reached the step that includes the hold, then Order Management might
continue to run the process until it reaches the step that includes the hold.
• If a fulfillment line includes a hold that Order Management hasn't released, then Order
Management displays it as an active hold even if the line doesn't include an active hold.
Release hold • You or an orchestration process can release a hold that you apply in the Order Management work
area only in the Order Management work area.
• Only the user of a source system can release a hold that another user of the source system
applies.
• If you cancel an orchestration process, then Order Management releases any holds that reference
the process.
If you don't cancel an orchestration process, then you must manually release each hold and
provide a release reason.
Note
• You can apply a hold at any step of an orchestration process. For example, if you apply a hold on the invoicing
step immediately after you submit the sales order, then the orchestration process will do all of its steps right up
to the invoicing step, and then stop on the invoicing step.
• You can apply more than one hold on a sales order. For example, you can apply a hold on shipping task and
another one on the invoicing task. The orchestration process will stop on the shipping task, wait there until
someone releases the hold on the shipping task, proceed to the invoicing task, and wait there until someone
releases the hold on the invoicing task. This approach is useful when you have more than one dependency that
you must resolve before finishing the sales order.
• The Order Management work area displays a small blue icon at the top of the sales order next to the order total
when the sales order or an order line is on hold. It also displays this icon on each order line that's on hold.
• You can add a comment when you apply a hold. Use it tracking or auditing purposes. For example, you might
enter details about why you applied the hold and the dependencies you must resolve before you can release the
hold.
• Order Management might automatically apply a credit check hold. You can't manually apply a credit check hold.
If you have sufficient privileges, you can release a credit check hold. For details, see Manage Credit Check.
Configured Items
You can apply a hold on an item that isn't configured, a configured item, a pick-to-order item, a kit, or an item that
includes a combination of these characteristics.
Assume the AS54888 is a configured item and you add it to order line 1. You configure the AS54888 so it includes the 1
TB hard drive configure option and another option, the Dance Revolution software suite, which is also an item that you
sell by itself.
• If you apply a hold on order line 1, then Order Management also applies the hold on the hard drive and the
software suite for order line 1.
• You can apply a hold only on the entire order line for the configured item, the AS54888.
• You can't apply a hold on the hard drive or the Dance Revolution software suite on order line 1, but if add only
the Dance Revolution item to order line 2, then you can place a hold on line 2.

Use Holds to Temporarily Stop Processing

Apply a hold on a sales order, order line, or fulfillment line to temporarily stop Order Management from processing the
order or the line. You can also manually release a hold.
Hold an Order Line

Assume you submit a sales order and Order Management schedules it for delivery. Later that day, the customer
who placed the sales order realizes they must verify their order to make sure it works for them, but must do some
investigation first. The customer calls and requests to delay delivery for one week.
Place a hold on an order line.
Or, if you know the sales order number, then search for it on the Overview page.
2. On the Manage Orders page, search for the sales order you must place on hold.
3. In the search results, in the Order column, click a link.
4. On the Order page, in the Order Lines area, note the value of the Status attribute.
The Status identifies where the sales order resides in order fulfillment. Use it to determine whether placing a
hold will achieve the result you need.
In this example, assume status is Awaiting Shipping, which indicates Order Management scheduled the order
line for shipping but hasn't shipped it to the customer. If the status were Shipped, then it would be too late to
place a hold and you would have to request the customer to return the item.
5. On the Order page, in the Order Lines area, click Apply Hold.
6. In the Apply Hold dialog, set the value, then click Save and Close.
Attribute Value
Hold Name SHIP_ALL
Hold Name indicates where to place the hold. For example, HOLD CREATE INVOICE places a hold on an invoice
task, such as Create Billing Lines.
In step 4, you determined that Order Management hasn't shipped the sales order, so you can use SHIP_ALL to
temporarily stop processing for all shipping that Order Management does for the sales order.
7. Use the Order Lines area to verify Order Management placed a hold on the order line. Make sure it displays the
On Hold icon.
190
Release the Hold
Assume your customer calls, is now ready to receive the sales order, and you must release the hold.
1. Click the arrow next to Apply Hold, then click Release Hold.
2. In the Release Hold dialog, set values, then click Save and Close.
Attribute Value
Hold Name SHIP_ALL
Release Reason Select the most appropriate value.
Note
• You might need to release more than one hold. To view all holds that are currently applied on the sales order
and order lines, open the order, click Switch to Fulfillment View, then click Actions > View Hold Details.
• If there's no hold on the order line, or if you don't have the privilege you need to release the hold, then the
Release Hold menu item is grey and you can't click it.
If you click Release Hold but receive an error message, then try this.
1. Click Cancel.
3. Click the Fulfillment Lines tab.
4. Click Actions > Holds > Release Holds.
5. Use the Release Holds dialog to release the hold.
If you still can't release the hold, contact your order manager. You might not have the privileges you need to release the
hold.
191
Hold a Sales Order

Hold the entire sales order instead of just one order line.
1. On the Order page, click Actions > Holds > Apply.

2. In the Apply Hold dialog, select a value for Hold Name to specify where in the orchestration process you want to
apply the hold.
Each orchestration process includes tasks that it runs sequentially, such as Schedule, Reserve, Ship, and then
Invoice. You can specify where in the orchestration process to place the hold. For example:
Name Description
SCHLD_ALL Place a hold on all steps in the orchestration process that schedule your item.
RESRV_ALL Place a hold on all steps that reserve your item in inventory.
SHIP_ALL Place a hold on all steps that ship the item to your customer.
INVOICE_ALL Place a hold on all steps that invoice the item.
You can also set these values when you place a hold on an order line or fulfillment line. The values you can
select depend on how your order administrator sets up Order Management.
Order Management places a hold on all order lines in the sales order regardless of the value you select. When it
comes time to release the hold, make sure you release the hold on the order header, not the order lines. If you
release the lines but not the order, the hold will remain in place on the order and processing won't resume.
Hold a Draft Order

Use the Order Management work area to place a sales order that's in Draft status on hold.
• You can apply or release a hold only on the Create page or Edit page.
• You can't apply or release a hold on the Revise page.
Hold a Fulfillment Line

You can place a hold on the fulfillment line instead of an order line. For example, assume Order Management splits an
order line into more than one fulfillment line, and you must place a hold only on one of these split fulfillment lines but
not the entire order line.
2. On the Manage Fulfillment Lines page, search for your sales order.
3. In the search results, click the fulfillment line that you must hold.
4. Click Actions > Holds > Apply Hold.
5. In the Apply Hold dialog, apply a hold, then click Save and Close.
Hold Tasks That Are In Progress
192
We recommend that you add a check mark to the Hold Tasks In Progress option. Order Management will immediately
stop processing the sales order on the task that you specify and will send a hold request to the fulfillment system that's
currently processing the task even if the task already started. If you don't enable this option, then Order Management
will still add the hold but not communicate the hold request to the fulfillment system. You can set this option only in a
fulfillment view. Order Management automatically enables it in other views.
If you enable the Hold Tasks In Progress option, and if the sales order:
Status What Order Management Does
Hasn't reached the task you're holding. Continues processing until it does reach the task, then applies the hold.
For example, the predefined ShipOrderGenericProcess orchestration process includes tasks that it runs
sequentially, one after the other.
1. Create Scheduling
2. Create Inventory Reservation
3. Create Shipping
4. Wait for Shipment
5. Create Billing Lines
6. Wait for Billing
Assume you place a hold on the Create Shipping task and the orchestration process is currently
running the Create Scheduling task. It will finish Create Scheduling and Create Inventory Reservation,
then stop immediately before Create Shipping. It will remain stopped until you release the hold. Once
you release the hold, the orchestration process will resume the flow, beginning with Create Shipping.
Already finished the task you're holding. Applies the hold but doesn't stop processing because the task already finished. The sales order
proceeds through order fulfillment as if the hold doesn't exist.
Using ShipOrderGenericProcess as an example, assume you place a hold on the Create Shipping task
and the orchestration process is currently running the Wait for Shipment task. It will finish Wait for
Shipment, then run Create Billing Lines and Wait for Billing.
If the task is a long-running task, then Order Management applies the hold and communicates it to the fulfillment
system just like it does a task that isn't long-running.
Release Order Header and Order Line Holds
You can't use a fulfillment view to release a hold from an order line or a sales order. Instead, go to the Order page, then
do one of:
• On the order header, click Actions > Holds > Release.

• In the Order Lines area, click Release Hold.
Get Details About Holds on Orchestration Processes

Get details about all the current holds that exist on an orchestration process. For example, to investigate why a sales
order hasn't shipped. You can identify the fulfillment tasks that are on hold.
2. On the Manage Orchestration Processes page, search for your sales order.
3. In the search results, click the fulfillment line you must hold.
4. On the Orchestration Process page, click View Hold Details.
193

Resume Paused Sales Orders

Release a pause task so the orchestration process can resume processing your sales order.
A pause task temporarily pauses processing to wait until a date or event happens before proceeding to the next
orchestration process step. A pause isn't a hold. For details, see Sales Order Hold.
Your order administrator sets up the pause task. For details about how pause tasks work for you, and the role you must
use to release a pause task, ask your order administrator.
Resume a paused sales order.

1. Sign into Order Management with the Order Orchestration Error Recovery Manager role.

Unlocking Sales Orders

Order Management locks the sales order while the pause task waits for the date or event. For example:
• Assume your order administrator creates a pause task so Order Management waits to receive a reply from the
warehouse that it successfully reserved inventory for the item you ordered.
• While waiting for the reply, assume you create an order revision, you change the Requested Ship Date, submit
the revision, but then Order Management displays a message indicating the order is locked.
• You can use Release Pause Task to unlock the sales order.

Credit Check
Manage Credit Check
Use the fulfillment view to examine credit check details, including status updates.
Credit check is a calculation that determines whether the credit that's currently available for the customer account is
equal to or greater than the transaction amount.
If your sales order requires credit check, then Oracle Accounts Receivable creates a case folder. A case folder is a page in
Accounts Receivable that includes details about the customer, such as credit limit, credit rating, and so on, and the sales
order. A credit analyst uses the case folder to determine the action to take, such as remove the credit hold, increase
credit limit, and so on.
195
Note
• Each case folder includes a unique number.

• The Credit Reference attribute on the fulfillment line in Order Management references the case folder in
Accounts Receivable.
• The Source Transaction attribute in the case folder references the Sales Order Number attribute in Order
Management. Accounts Receivable uses Source Transaction because an account might reference a transaction
that's not a sales order in some other application.
196
Assume you create sales order 507252, it goes into credit check hold, a credit analyst releases the hold, and you must
examine credit check details.
1. Examine hold details.
◦ In the Order Management work area, on the Overview page, search for your sales order.
◦ On the Order page, click Actions > Switch to Fulfillment View.
◦ Click Fulfillment Lines.
◦ In the Details area, click Holds, then examine hold details.
2. Examine the credit reference.
◦ Click View > Columns, then add a check mark to Credit Reference.

◦ In the Fulfillment Task Messages area, examine the message.
For example:
Credit analyst Aaron Holmes approved the credit request for fulfillment line in sales order
507252. The credit analyst approved the amount 32,950.00, and then closed case folder 1003 on
date 2018-04-11.
You can't modify some sales order attributes when the sales order is on credit check hold because they
affect credit check. For example, you can't modify Bill-to Customer, Ordered Quantity, UOM, Unit Selling
Price, and so on.
Credit Review Pending

The Credit Review Pending status means one or more order lines failed credit check when you submitted the sales
order.
If you must change the sales order, use the Revert to Draft action, make your changes, then resubmit the sales order.
For example, you can reduce quantity. Reducing quantity reduces the extended amount and increases the likelihood
that the order line will pass credit check.
Assume maximum credit for the customer is $10,000, the customer orders a quantity of 11 for an item that costs $1,000
each, which results in an extended amount of $11,000 that exceeds the credit limit. You can reduce quantity to 9 to bring
the extended amount down to $9,000, which is below the credit limit.
Revise Sales Orders That Are Under Credit Check Review

Here's some of the revisions you can do.
• Cancel the entire sales order.

• Cancel the fulfillment line that's under credit check hold.
• Revise attributes that don't affect credit check.

You can't revise these attributes because they affect credit check.
• Bill-to Customer
• Ordered Quantity
• Ordered UOM

Fulfillment Line Splits

Split a fulfillment line into more than one fulfillment line to improve order fulfillment performance.
Splitting a fulfillment line is a supply chain technique you can use to fulfill your sales order in a timely and efficient way.
For example, assume a fulfillment line includes a quantity of 50 for the TABLET item, but the preferred warehouse, the
Denver warehouse, only has a quantity of 30 in stock. The Seattle warehouse has 40. To avoid a delay, you can split the
fulfillment line so it gets the quantity it needs from Denver and Seattle.
204
There are different types of splits.
Type of Split Description
Manual Note
• You can use Split Fulfillment Line only for a sales order that's on a manual schedule task.
• To split a fulfillment line that isn't on a manual schedule task, click Unschedule while the
orchestration process is running, then split the fulfillment line.
Unschedule moves the orchestration process back to the schedule task, which is now a manual
task. Learn how to unschedule. For details, see Fix Problems and Improve Performance.
• Order Management doesn't do change management during a manual split.

• You can't use the Check Availability page to manually split a fulfillment line, but the availability
option you select might implicitly split the fulfillment line.
Automatic Note
• If you select a fulfillment option on the Check Availability page, then this option might require
Order Management to split a fulfillment line so it can provide the availability results you need.
• Some other fulfillment system might automatically split a fulfillment line.
Sometimes Order Management doesn't allow a split.
• The Splits Allowed attribute on the fulfillment line doesn't allow the split.
• The fulfillment line doesn't allow a split. If you use an override privilege, then you can override this restriction.
• The quantity of the fulfillment line is one or less.
• The fulfillment line is in a shipment set. To split this line, remove it from the shipment set, then split it.
How Order Management Determines Availability

A substitution is the act of replacing one item with some other item. For example, replacing an 80GB hard drive with a
100GB hard drive because there aren't any 80GB hard drives in inventory.
Here are the substitutions that Order Management considers to determine availability when it splits a fulfillment line.
Where Split Occurs Description
Split a fulfillment line across more than If the Requested Ship-from Warehouse attribute on the fulfillment line is.
one warehouse.
• Empty. Order Management considers more than one warehouse when it splits the fulfillment line.
• Not empty. Order Management considers only the warehouse that the Requested Ship-from
Warehouse references. It doesn't split the fulfillment line.
Each fulfillment line that the split creates might specify a different value for the Expected Ship-from
Warehouse attribute.
Order Management uses business rules that your order administrator sets up to determine the
warehouses it uses to supply the item.
Split a fulfillment line across substitute Order Management substitutes an item only if the Allow Substitutions attribute on the fulfillment line
items. equals Yes. Each fulfillment line that the split creates might specify a different value for the Available
Item attribute.
Assume you create a fulfillment line that requests 100 units of an item. Supply for the item is 80 units
and supply for the substitute item is 50 units. Check Availability will split the fulfillment line into these
fulfillment lines.
• One fulfillment line that references 80 units of the item

• Another fulfillment line that references 20 units of the substitute item
Split a fulfillment line across dates. If a fulfillment line requests inventory that isn't sufficient on a given date, then Order Management
splits the line across dates.
• Create one fulfillment line for the quantity that's available on the requested date.
206
Where Split Occurs Description
• Create another fulfillment line for the remaining quantity that it will deliver on a later date.
Assume you create a fulfillment line on November 15, 2019 that requests 100 units of an item, and that
supply is available for the item on these dates.
• 70 units are available on November 15, 2019.

• 40 units are available on November 30, 2019.
Check Availability will split the fulfillment line into these fulfillment lines.
• One fulfillment line with on-time delivery of 70 units, with an expected delivery date of November
15, 2019.
• Another fulfillment line with delayed delivery for 30 units, with an expected delivery date of
November 30, 2019.
How Split Fulfillment Lines Affect Status

Order Management creates two or more instances of the same fulfillment task when it splits a fulfillment line. These
tasks might include different statuses during processing.
Consider some examples.
• The status of the Schedule task for fulfillment line A1 is Not Scheduled, and the status of the Schedule task for
fulfillment line A2 is Scheduled.
Order Management examines the split priority of the task statuses, then sets the orchestration process status
to the task status that includes the highest split priority.
• Order Management splits a fulfillment line that results in two instances of the Schedule task. One of these tasks
includes a Complete status, and the other task includes a Pending status. The value of the split priority for
Pending is two, and the value of the split priority for Complete is three.
Order Management sets the orchestration process status to Pending.

Split Fulfillment Lines

Split a fulfillment line in the Order Management work area.
In this example, assume you know the Denver warehouse is getting low on inventory, so you split a fulfillment line so it
gets 30 units from the Seattle warehouse and 20 units from the Denver warehouse.
207
Learn about other reasons why you might need to split a fulfillment line. For details, see Fix Problems and Improve
Performance.
1. Create a sales order that includes an order line with 50 units for the AS54888 item.
2. Click Tasks > Switch to Fulfillment View.
4. Click the fulfillment line, then click Actions > Split Fulfillment Line.
5. In the Split Fulfillment Line dialog, in the Split Lines area, click Actions > Add Row.
6. Set the values in the new row, then click Save and Close
New Quantity 30
Warehouse Seattle
Note
◦ Assume your order administrator set up Order Management so it automatically gets all units from
Denver.
◦ Order Management automatically maintains Ordered Quantity across all rows you add. For example,
if the order assigned 50 units to Denver, you add a new row and assign 30 units to Seattle, then Order
Management automatically sets Denver to 20 units.
◦ The values you can set depend on how your order administrator sets up split behavior.
7. In the Warning dialog, click OK.
8. Notice that Order Management added another fulfillment line in the Search Results.
Order Management splits the entire orchestration process that the fulfillment line references any time it splits a
fulfillment line.

Change Fulfillment Lines

• You are an order manager at a company that supplies carpeting from various warehouses throughout the
United States.
• You just found out that the New York warehouse is flooded due to a recent storm, but you know the Boston
warehouse includes sufficient supply.
• You use the Manage Fulfillment Lines page to search for all fulfillment lines that source carpet from the New
York warehouse.
• You select all fulfillment lines, open Edit Fulfillment Lines, then change the warehouse to Boston.
Change the Warehouse

Order Management automatically sources each item according to the sourcing rules and warehouse ranking that it
references. It also provides more than one option you can use to schedule a sales order, including sourcing each item
from a different warehouse. You can explicitly change the warehouse to try to improve order fulfillment performance.
1. Identify a warehouse that contains the item and quantity that the fulfillment line requires. Do one or more of
these.
◦ Use the reports and analytics in the Order Management work area.
◦ Examine the Availability pages.
◦ Use Supply Availability reports.
◦ Use the Supply Allocations reports.
◦ Take action outside of Order Management.
2. On the Overview page, search for the order number.
3. On the Order page, click Actions > Create Revision.
4. On the Create Order Revision page, click Shipment Details > Supply.
5. In the Order Line Details area, click Override Order Line.
6. In the Override Order Line dialog, set the Warehouse, then click OK.
Split the Fulfillment Line

If the warehouse contains only some of the quantity that the fulfillment line requires, then you can split the fulfillment
line, and then select another warehouse to source the remaining quantity.
For example, assume fulfillment line 1 requires 50 tablets. The fulfillment line is in jeopardy because the current
warehouse, the Denver warehouse, only has a quantity of 30. So, you split the fulfillment line, then specify the second
fulfillment line to source 30 from Seattle. For details, see Fulfillment Line Splits.

Fulfill Configured Items

Order Management fulfills a sales order that includes a configured item differently than how it fulfills a sales order that
doesn't.
Here's what Order Management does during different stages of order fulfillment when a sales order includes a
configured item.
Order Fulfillment Stage Description
Schedule Schedules a configured item like any other fulfillment line, except Order Management can only
schedule a configured item that's complete. A configured item that's missing a configure option isn't
complete.
Assigns all the fulfillment lines that a configured item or shipment set references to the same
Split Allows a split fulfillment line for the configured item, but not for child fulfillment lines. If Order
Management does a split, then it cascades the split to the child fulfillment lines.
Hold Applies a hold on the configured item and on the child fulfillment lines.
Ship Sends the shippable fulfillment lines that a configured item contains to the shipping system together
as a single shipment set.
If a configured item includes a partial shipment of fulfillment lines, then here's what might result.
• Proportional split. Results in a shipped configured item and an unshipped configured item.
• Nonproportional split. Results in a partially shipped configured item that includes a separate
structure.
Bill Sends all the fulfillment lines that the configured item contains to the billing system together as a
single group.
Return If Order Management receives a partial return, then it separates the configured item into groups.
• One group includes the fulfillment lines that reference the items that Order Management
received. It will move these lines to invoicing.
• Another group includes the fulfillment lines that reference items that Order Management didn't
receive or that it can't return for some reason.
Remnant Fulfillment Line

A remnant fulfillment line is a fulfillment line that hasn't shipped. It is part of a pick-to-order configured item where
Order Management has only shipped some of the lines of the item.
210
Assume you have configured item AS9000 - Desktop Computer and it includes a separate fulfillment line for each
configure option.
• CPU0001, Central Processing Unit

• KB0001, Keyboard
• Mouse001, Mouse
• Monitor24, 24" High Definition Monitory
Assume Order Management ships the CPU0001, KB0001, and Mouse001 together in one box. The Monitor24 item is on
backorder and hasn't shipped, so the fulfillment line that contains the Monitor24 item is a remnant fulfillment line.
If you drop ship the pick-to-order configured item, and if Order Management ships only part of the item, then all
fulfillment lines in the item are remnant.
You can't cancel, revise, or return a remnant fulfillment line.

Using Order Management Troubleshoot Problems and Improve Performance
7 Troubleshoot Problems and Improve

Performance
Fix Problems and Improve Performance

Order Management automatically fulfills most sales orders. However, if you encounter a problem, you can use the
Manage Fulfillment Lines page to view the cause and fix it. You can also use Manage Fulfillment Lines to improve
fulfillment performance.
• Manage Fulfillment Line Exceptions displays fulfillment line exceptions that are past due, in jeopardy,
backordered, and on hold.
• Most exceptions happen because an item isn't available.
• More than one solution might fix an exception. How you fix the exception depends on your organization
policies.
Assume you submit an order line that includes a quantity of 20, but inventory only has an on-hand quantity of 10.
You open the sales order in a fulfillment view, click the icon next to Message Type in the order header, then notice the
messages.
213
The Order Orchestration Messages dialog displays a message for the Reservation step of the orchestration process.
Orchestration couldn't create a reservation because the reservation quantity is greater than the available-
to-reserve quantity.
This error might happen when you create a sales order, change the quantity when you revise the order, or add a new
order line to an order that already exists. You can reduce the ordered quantity on the order line to 15 and submit a
revision, or inventory can increase the on-hand quantity and you can recover the order line. The orchestration process
will then send another reservation request, inventory processes the line, and the line moves to the next orchestration
process step.
Use the Manage Fulfillment Lines page.

2. On the Manage Fulfillment Lines page, search for your sales order.
3. In the Search Results area, in the Order attribute, click the link.
4. On the Order page, try the solutions that this topic describes.
214
Do a Manual Action on the Fulfillment Line

Do a manual action on the fulfillment line to fix fulfillment exceptions, improve fulfillment performance, or do other
tasks.
On the Fulfillment Lines tab, click Actions, then click an action.
Action Description
Export to Excel Export the order lines that are currently in the search results to Microsoft Excel.
• The export creates a .xls file that you can use to work with data in Excel.
• The export only downloads columns that are visible. Use View > Columns before you do the
download to add or remove columns from the .xls file.
• Learn how to upload data from Excel to Order Management. For details, see Overview of
Importing Orders into Order Management.
Schedule Schedule a fulfillment line if the orchestration process that references the line includes a manual
scheduling step, or if the fulfillment line isn't scheduled.
If you schedule a fulfillment line, then Order Management sends a request to the order promising
process to schedule the fulfillment line.
Unschedule Unschedule a fulfillment line to make supply available to a higher priority fulfillment line.
If you unschedule a fulfillment line, then Order Management moves the orchestration process back
to the scheduling step, sets the status to Awaiting Scheduling, and then releases supply so other
fulfillment lines can use it.
You must manually schedule a fulfillment line that you unschedule.
Check Availability Use Check Availability to reschedule the fulfillment line. Use it to view the scheduling options that are
available, see the best option, and get details you need to evaluate each option.
• If Order Management already scheduled the fulfillment line, and if your selection changes the
Scheduled Ship Date, then Order Management processes the change.
• To source from a different warehouse, remove the value from the Warehouse attribute, then click
Check Availability. Order Management will recommend a warehouse according to sourcing rules
and warehouse rankings.
• Your order administrator does the set up that determines the best option and ranks the
warehouses. For details, ask your order administrator.
Split Fulfillment Line Split the fulfillment line to fulfill one part of the line from one warehouse, and another part from
another warehouse. Use the analytics area to help identify the warehouse to use.
For details, see Split Fulfillment Lines.
Substitute Item Order Management displays the best substitution according to how your order administrator sets up
substitution. Use the analytics area to help identify the item to substitute.
To substitute an item that's part of a shipment set, you must remove the fulfillment line from the
shipment set.
215
Action Description
Reserve Reserve supply to make sure its available only for a specific fulfillment line. If you reserve supply, then
Order Management removes it from availability so other fulfillment lines can't use it, then reserves it
for the fulfillment line that you select.
Unreserve Release supply so some other fulfillment line can use it, such as a higher priority fulfillment line that
has an exception.
Holds Release a hold on a fulfillment line so processing can continue.
If a hold exists on any part of a fulfillment line, then Order Management might not be able to complete
the fulfillment process. A hold on part of an orchestration process can allow a fulfillment line to
proceed, but it might arrive at a point where it stops and waits for a user to release it.
For details, see Use Holds to Temporarily Stop Processing.
To take action on more than one fulfillment line, hold down the SHIFT key, click each line, then use the Actions menu.
Edit the Fulfillment Line

Try these solutions.
• Edit attributes on the fulfillment line to fix fulfillment exceptions or improve fulfillment performance.
• Remove the value from a fulfillment line attribute to allow Order Management to select the best fulfillment
option without having to consider a specific value for the attribute.
• Remove values when you want to use Check Availability but don't want Order Management to consider a
specific fulfillment requirement.
Edit the fulfillment line.
1. On the Fulfillment Lines tab, click Actions > Edit.

2. In the Edit Fulfillment Lines dialog, set one or more of the attributes.
Source Select Warehouse or Supplier in the Source option, then set the Warehouse or Supplier
attribute.
Warehouse or Supplier Change the Warehouse or the Suppler that Order Management uses to source the item. Use the
analytics area to help determine the warehouse to select.
For details, see Source Items from Different Warehouses.
Shipping Method Change the Shipping Method to a faster method.
You can also add a check mark to the Clear Contents option immediately next to Shipping
Method to allow Order Management to select the shipping method.
216
Demand Class The Demand Class determines the priority that Order Management uses when it schedules the
fulfillment line. Change the demand class when you must.
◦ Schedule fulfillment lines as a group.
◦ Make sure some customers get supply before other customers.
◦ Expedite fulfillment but the exact date isn't important.
Demand class applies only if the ATP (available to promise) rule uses supply chain search, and if
Order Management uses allocation.
Scheduled Ship Date or Scheduled Set Override Schedule to Yes, then set the value in one of the date fields, such as 12/22/19. The
Arrival Date orchestration process will reschedule order fulfillment according to the date you set.
The orchestration process calculates the shipping schedule when you create a sales order,
including the Scheduled Ship Date and the Scheduled Arrival Date. If you're aware of an
alternative to this schedule, and if you know the best date to schedule the fulfillment line, then
you might consider overriding these dates.
3. Click Save and Close.

4. In the Warning dialog, click OK.
5. On the Fulfillment lines tab, scroll toward the right to verify the edits you made.
For example, if you edited the Scheduled Ship Date, then scroll toward the right and verify the Scheduled Ship
Date attribute contains the value you specified, such as 12/22/19.
Improve Performance When You Search

If you find that it takes a long time for Order Management to search for your sales orders, then consider adding values
to more attributes when you do your search. For example, if you search only on an address attribute and search takes a
long time, then add values to other attributes on the order header, such as Customer or Order.

Cancel Order Lines That Remain in the Same Status

Cancel an order line that remains in order fulfillment for a long time, such as during Awaiting Shipping.
217
An order line that's stuck or in error can prevent the sales order from getting to a finished status.
Note
• Order line 1 finished the Reserve step, is running, and is awaiting shipping.
• Order line 2 is stuck on the Schedule step for some reason and can't proceed.
• Order line 3 encountered an error on the Schedule step and can't proceed.
You can revise the sales order to forcefully cancel lines that are stuck or in error.
218
Consider some examples.

• The order line remains in the same status for a long time. For example, you modify the order line, and your
modification remains in the Change Pending status for several hours.
• An order line goes into error recovery because a compensation error happens, Order Management must revise
the order line to recover the sales order, but can't revise an order line that's in error recovery.
• You submit an order line that includes a date that happens after the date that Order Management can use to
plan the sales order. For example, you set the Scheduled Ship Date attribute to the year 2032 but you meant to
use 2022. The orchestration process goes into error recovery. You must modify the Scheduled Ship Date, but
Order Management doesn't allow you to modify the current revision of a sales order that's in error recovery.
• An error happens during drop ship.
◦ You submit a sales order that uses drop ship but you don't include the supplier site.
◦ Order Management sends the sales order to your procurement system.
219
◦ The procurement system sets the supplier site to a default value when it converts the sales order into
a purchase order, then, at some later point, sends a reply to Order Management to update sales order
status.
◦ Order Management can't find the supplier site that the procurement system set, so the sales order can't
proceed and appears to be stuck in a perpetual fulfillment state.
These examples indicate that the sales order might contain an order line that's stuck or in error.
In this example, you cancel an order line that's stuck in the Awaiting Shipping status.
1. Sign in with a user role that includes the fom_fix_exceptions_on_order_lines privilege.
You need this privilege to use force cancel. Ask your order administrator for assistance.
2. On the Overview page, search for, then open the sales order that includes the order line that's stuck.
For this example, assume the Status attribute of the order line has remained in Awaiting Shipping for several
hours.
Tip: If you don't know the sales order number or some other value that you can use to identify the sales
order, then use the Orders Past Due bar chart on the Overview page. For example, Orders Past Due includes
sales orders that are 14 days overdue. Some of these orders might contain order lines that aren't responding.
3. At the top of the page, click Actions > Create Revision.

4. In the Order Lines area, locate the line you must cancel.
5. Scroll toward the right until you can view the Actions drop down icon.
6. Click Actions > Force Cancel Line.
◦ Order Management changes Quantity on the order line to 0, and changes Status to another value, such
as Cancellation Requested or Cancellation Pending. To monitor your request, click Refresh until Status
contains Canceled.
◦ You can click Force Cancel Line again to retry the cancel.
◦ Force Cancel Line displays only if the order line is stuck or is in error.
If you find that a sales order remains in the Cancellation Requested status or Cancellation Pending status, then consider
using Recover Order. For details, see Fix Errors in Sales Orders.
Force Cancel Lines in Shipment Sets

You can't force cancel a line in a shipment set after you click Submit. Instead, cancel the sales order, then create a new
one.
Assume you include two lines in a shipment set and click Submit. Line x contains the AS54888 computer and line y
contains 1 Year Warranty for the computer. The computer is shippable but the warranty isn't. You include the warranty
in the shipment set even though it isn't shippable so Order Management can bill the computer and the warranty at the
same time.
Some time later, you revise line y to 2 Year Warranty, then click Submit. The status goes to Change Pending but never
proceeds to Processing. You notice the change request goes on hold, and you encounter an error when you examine the
message for the fulfillment task.
Service {SERVICE_NAME} request for task {TASK_INSTANCE_ID} failed due to a system error. (DOO-2685019)
You need to update only the warranty, so, to attempt to fix the problem, you use Force Cancel to remove line x and click
Submit, but both lines remain at Change Pending.
220
To fix the problem, cancel the sales order. Create a new sales order, then add your shipment set with your revised
values.
Force Compensation
If you have a fulfillment line that's stuck because of a scheduling or reservation problem, then you can force Order
Management to compensate the line and see if it can fix the problem.
Order Management normally uses compensation rules to determine what adjustments to make when you revise a sales
order. For details, see Compensate Sales Orders That Change.
In some cases, you can force Order Management to compensate and see if it fixes the problem.
Try it.
1. Sign in with a user who has the FOM_FIX_EXCEPTIONS_ON_ORDER_LINES privilege.

2. Create a revision for the sales order that's stuck.
If the order has a line that's open, that you can't update or cancel, that isn't in a wait state, and that's been stuck
for at least 90 minutes, then you'll see a message.
A problem occurred while processing order lines. Examine the lines that are in error, edit them or
forcefully cancel them, then submit them. The submit action will attempt to process all error lines and
resolve the problem.
3. Modify the line, then click Submit.

Note
• Order Management will compensate each fulfillment line that's stuck, and it will compensate even if you don’t
edit or modify the line, and even if the line is in Change Pending status.
• You can only compensate lines that are stuck because of a scheduling or reservation problem.
• If the problem happens outside of Order Management, then you must fix the problem before you revise the
sales order. For example, assume the line gets stuck because on-hand quantity isn't available to reserve in the
warehouse, so the line gets stuck on the reservation task. To fix this problem, you need to make sure quantity is
available before you revise the sales order.
Other Guidelines
If you don't have the privileges that you need to do an action, then Force Cancel might not work. Assume a sales order
is on hold, you try Force Cancel, but it fails because the order is locked. You might need to get the privileges that allow
you to release a hold, or you might need to ask the person who applied the hold to release it, and then try Force Cancel.

Unlock Draft Sales Orders

Unlock a sales order that's in Draft status.
Assume you submit a sales order, then Order Management locks it during validation. If validation fails, then Order
Management changes the status back to Draft and unlocks the order. In some rare instances, the order might
unexpectedly go into Draft, locked status for a long time, and you might encounter an error.
Order Management can't process the change request because it's still processing the sales order. The order is
currently in DOO_DRAFT status. Try again later.
You can unlock it.
Assume you need to unlock draft order 507030 for the Computer Service and Rentals customer.
1. Wait for 30 minutes after you submit the order.
You must wait. Order Management doesn't enable the feature that you use in this procedure until 30 minutes
after you submit the order.
2. Sign into Order Management with the Order Manager role or the Error Recovery role.
Make sure the role includes the FOM_FORCE_UNLOCK_ORDER_PRIV privilege. Ask your order administrator for
assistance.
3. On the Overview page, search for sales order 507030.
4. On the order header, make sure the order is in Draft, locked status.
5. On page Order: Computer Service and Rentals - 507030 - Draft, click Actions > Force Unlock.
This action displays only 30 minutes after you submit the order, and only with a new sales order. You can't
unlock a revised sales order.
6. Click OK in the warning that displays, then click Refresh.
7. Verify that Order Management removed the lock and you can edit the sales order.
Unlock Right Away

You can use Force Unlock on sales orders that are locked and also in Draft status, but only until at least 30 minutes after
the last update. If you can't wait that long, then run the Recover Errors scheduled process. Continuing our example, you
would use these values:
Parameter Value
Orchestration Order Number 507030
Order Orchestration Function Start Orchestration
The Start Orchestration function will restart the orchestration process for each locked, draft order as soon as you submit
the scheduled process. If the restart is successful, then the orchestration process will clear the lock, set the order's
status to Processing, and submit the order to fulfillment. For details about Recover Errors, see Fix Errors in All Sales
Orders.
222
For another example, assume you have 3 draft orders that are in locked status, and the Ordered Date for all of them is
10/18/23 10:10 AM. Here are your values:
Parameter Value
From Ordered Date 10/18/23 10:09 AM
To Ordered Date 10/18/23 10:11 AM
Order Orchestration Function Start Orchestration
Make sure you specify From Ordered Date and To Ordered Date parameters to within a few minutes of the Ordered Date
on the sales orders. This will filter the orders that the scheduled process must consider.
Examine Error Messages for Sales Orders

Order Management displays exceptions that cause an error so you can view exception details and history, then fix the
problem.
Order Management displays an exception when an error occurs in Order Management or in some other application,
such as a billing application. You can use the Manage Order Orchestration Messages page to view exceptions, such as
fulfillment line exceptions.
Order Management Receives a Warning

Assume you're an order manager at a company that manufactures tables.
1. You notice a sales order for 100 burl tables.

2. Order Management scheduled and confirmed the reservation for the fulfillment line for the sales order.
3. The orchestration process sent a shipment request to the shipping system.
4. Personnel at the warehouse ask the sales representative to hold the shipment because a fire occurred in the
warehouse.
5. The sales representative applies a hold on the sales order, then sends the hold request to Order Management.
6. The shipping system can't apply the hold because someone already picked and released the sales order.
7. The shipping system sends a warning to Order Management, and Order Management rejects the hold request.
8. The sales representative calls you on the phone to discuss the rejected hold request.
9. You investigate.
◦ On the Overview page, click Tasks > Manage Order Orchestration Messages.
◦ On the Manage Order Orchestration Messages page, set the Order Orchestration Function to Equals
Manage Hold, then click Search.
◦ Examine the details and explain the reason for the rejection.
Order Management Rejects a Change Order

You are an order manager at a company that manufactures stainless steel pipe.
1. You create a sales order for 100 pipes.
223
2. The customer calls to change the order quantity a few days after Order Management sends the shipment
request to the shipping system.
3. You modify the sales order, then submit the change order.
4. The shipping system already shipped the sales order, so Order Management rejects the change order and saves
the error details.
5. You use the Manage Order Orchestration Messages page to examine the order details, and to search for and
access the sales order so you can determine the reason for the rejection.
Assignment Rules are Missing

You are an order manager at a company that provides digital network service.
1. Order Management receives a source order, but doesn't assign an orchestration process to it because the
process selection rules are missing.
2. You view the exception on the Manage Order Orchestration Messages page, and notice that the same error
affects more than one sales order.
3. You notify your order administrator, who then adds the process selection rules.
4. Some time later, the order administrator uses the Error Recovery privilege to run the assign and launch process.
5. Order Management assigns the orchestration processes to the sales orders.

1. Make sure you have the privileges that you need to manage error recovery.
2. On the Overview page, click Tasks > Manage Order Orchestration Messages.
3. On the Manage Order Orchestration Messages, examine the messages.
If you can't resolve the problem, contact your order administrator and request to edit the assignment rules.
Reassigning the Orchestration Process During Revision

Order Management can't reassign an existing order line to a different orchestration process when you revise a sales
order.
For example, assume you create a return and set the Return Type on the order line to Return for Credit and Return
the Item, then click Submit. Order Management assigns your return line to a predefined orchestration process that
handles receiving and billing. Some time later, your customer calls to inform you that the item was destroyed in a fire
and requests to simply dispose it rather than physically return it. So, you revise the sales order and set Return Type to
Return for Credit. Order Management doesn't reassign the order line to an orchestration process that handles billing
224
but not receiving. It continues to use the orchestration process that handles receiving and billing, so it might attempt to
receive the item but you don't want to do that.
To avoid this problem, don't revise the return. Cancel it, then create a new return and set the Return Type as needed.

• Task 300100174767143 for orchestration process 300100174767135 failed. Use recover task, recover order,
or recover process to recover the failed task or process.
Or it might display a message that indicates a temporary problem occurred in the network or with a server.
• The request failed. Orchestration process 300100098837243 for sales order 482655 didn't start because it
isn't deployed or the server isn't available. Deploy the orchestration process. Make sure the server is
up and running.
You can use a recover action to attempt to fix these problems.
Example of an Error You Can Recover From

Assume you go to a sales order's fulfillment view and encounter an error.
225
Try it.
1. On the Overview page, click Tasks > Manage Orders.

2. On the Manage Orders page, click Search, then, in the search results, identify a sales order that's in error.
The Exception Type column displays a red circle with an x inside it to indicate whether the sales order is in error.
Click the red circle.
3. In the Warning dialog, notice that there are two errors. Click the error that occurred when the orchestration
process was running a fulfillment task at 2:35 AM. It's the second one in the list.
4. Notice the big, very technical message. It describes how the fulfillment task couldn't communicate through the
web service that it uses to get shipping details from your shipment system.
226
Try it.
1. Click the error that occurred at 2:36. It's the first one in the list. It references a Create Shipping task. The task
failed because of the first, underlying error that at occurred at 2:35. The orchestration process can't create
shipping if it can't communicate with your shipping system.
2. Notice the message. It's recommending that you try a recover action.
It's possible that the 2:35 error occurred because the network was temporarily down, a sever was down or not
available, and so on, which then led directly to the 2:36 error. These types of problems are often temporary
and fix themselves or get fixed by someone in a few minutes. It's a good candidate for recovery because the
problem might be fixed by the time recover runs.
227
Restart Processing After You Fix Errors

Use a recover action to restart processing.
• Fix the cause of the error before you recover.

• Make sure you have the privileges that you need to manage error recovery and to do a recover action.
• Use a general to specific sequence.
a. Attempt to recover the sales order first.

b. If recovering the sales order doesn't fix the problem, then recover the orchestration process.
c. If recovering the orchestration process doesn't fix the problem, then attempt to recover the task in the
Recover Order
Recover Order runs an orchestration process or fulfillment task starting immediately before the point where the error
happens. Use it to recover from various errors, such as an orchestration process that doesn't start, or an orchestration
process or fulfillment task that's in error.
• This feature is available only when an error happens in a sales order.

• You can recover more than one sales order at a time. For details, see these topics.
◦ Fix Errors in More Than One Sales Order

◦ Fix Errors in All Sales Orders
Try it.
1. Make sure you have the privileges that you need to manage error recovery and to do a recover action.
2. On the Overview page, click Tasks > Manage Orders in Error.
3. On the Manage Orders in Error page, search for the sales order you must recover.
4. In the search results, click a row, then click Actions > Recover Order.
◦ Recover Order will attempt to recover each line in the sales order that has an error.
◦ The status determines whether you can attempt to recover a sales order. For example, if the Status
attribute displays Processing, then you can attempt to recover the sales order, but you can't recover a
sales order when the status is Closed.
Recover Orchestration Processes
• Recover Process runs the orchestration process starting immediately before the point where the error happens.
• It attempts to recover an orchestration process that failed when there's an error that's internal to the process.
For example, an error that happens when:
◦ Order Management runs an orchestration process step.

◦ The process runs a fulfillment task, such as an error that happens when Order Management sends a
request to a fulfillment system that's in an error state.
• You can select one or more orchestration processes to recover.
• Use this feature to recover all the fulfillment tasks that an orchestration process references for a single sales
order.
228
Try it.
1. On the Overview page, click Tasks > Manage Orchestration Processes.

2. On the Manage Orchestration Processes page, search for the orchestration process that you must recover.
To filter for messages that contain an error, set Message Type to Error.
3. In the search results, click a row, then click Actions > Recover Process.
Recover Fulfillment Tasks
Recover Task runs the fulfillment task starting immediately before the point where the error happens. Use it to fix an
error that happens when Order Management attempts to send a request to your fulfillment system.
• This feature is available only when a fulfillment task fails.

• To recover more than one fulfillment task, select more than one orchestration process or sales order, then use
Recover Process or Recover Order.
Try it.
1. On the Overview page, click Tasks > Manage Orchestration Processes.

2. On the Manage Orchestration Processes page, search for the orchestration process that references the
fulfillment task you must recover.
To filter for messages that contain an error, set Message Type to Error.
3. In the search results, in the Orchestration Process Number column, click a link.
4. On the Orchestration Process page, on the Orchestration Plan tab, click the row that displays the fulfillment
task you must recover, such as FulfillOrder.
5. Click Actions > Recover Task.
Assign Fulfillment Lines to Orchestration Processes
Assign Lines to Process attempts to assign a fulfillment line to an orchestration process. Use it to assign fulfillment lines
that Order Management didn't assign.
Fix Errors That Happen with Web Services

The Manage Web Service Details page can reference services on an order capture system or fulfillment system that
resides outside of Order Management. You can attempt to fix errors that happen when Order Management calls more
than one service on the same system but can't communicate with them for some reason.
Try it.
1. Make sure you have the privileges that you need to administer Order Management.
2. Go to the Setup and Maintenance work area, then go to the task.
◦ Order Management
◦ Orders
◦ Manage External Interface Web Service Details
3. On the Manage Web Service Details page, add a separate row for each service that Order Management must
call.
Use the same user name and password for each row that references the same system.
229
For example, assume an order capture system named ORA_BM_CPQ must communicate with Service_A and Service_B,
and that the user name for this system is CPQ_user, and the password is CPQ_password. Here are the rows that you add.
Target System Connector Name User Name Password
ORA_BM_CPQ Service_A CPQ_user CPQ_password
ORA_BM_CPQ Service_B CPQ_user CPQ_password
Fix Errors That Happen Outside of Order Management
The Error Happens When Solution
A source order fails during order import. Fix the error, then reimport the source order.
Order Management processes a reply from Fix the error, then resubmit the reply.

Fix Errors in More Than One Sales Order

Click Recover Order to fix errors in a single sales order.
You can use this feature only to fix sales orders that you can select in the Search Results list of the Order Management
work area. This topic describes how to fix all the sales orders that the search returns, not only the sales orders you can
individually select.
1. Fix the problem that causes the error.
If you don't fix the problem, then the same error will continue to occur whether or not you run recovery, and
running recovery won't restart processing.
2. On the Overview page, click Tasks > Manage Orders in Error.
3. On the Manage Orders in Error page, enter a value in a required attribute, then click Search.
4. In the Search Results area, in the heading row, click the narrow column immediately to the left of the Order
column heading.
230
This step selects all sales orders in the search results.

5. Click Actions > Take Action On All Search Results, then click Recover Orders.
Order Management attempts to fix all errors in the sales orders.
6. If necessary, repeat step 5.
Order Management can fix up to 5,000 sales orders each time you click Recover Orders. If more than 5,000
sales orders contain errors, then you must click Recover Orders repeatedly until it fixes all sales orders that the
search returns.
Use a single action that fixes all errors. For details, see Fix Errors in All Sales Orders.
