Creating Shipments automatically by grouping order releases of single order base

[neoandr]

Hi,
I need to build a shipment by selecting all the order releases of an order base. I know we can do it manually but it should be done automatically.

For eg., Order base OB contains 4 lines for which the 4 releases will be sent thro integration at various durations. Once all the releases are received i need to build the shipment with the same 4 releases.

I thought it might be possible with planning parameters but not sure how to proceed since stuck up with planning groups.

Need your suggestions.
Thanks

Use automation agents to do this .It will creat shipment automatically as soon as the order release is created.

Hi,
The order releases are received in the application at different times.
How does the agent selects all the order releases of an order base and then builds it??

I have checked the agents and also tried the implement it but in vain. I am not sure whether my approach is correct.

Reply will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi,

Interesting case.... I will give you here a few things where I think of. You still have to investigate this a bit, but perhpas it gives you a direction to look for.

1) Wait for releasing the order releases before a cut-off time. At that moment the order release can contain all order base lines. However you need to work with order bases then which I'm not sure of because you're not mentioning that.

2) Use the "Ship with Group" field (on the constraints tab) of the order release. A bulk plan will put all the orders with the same "Ship with Group" on the same shipment. That sounds as what you want. However be careful because the bulk plan will not bundle orders in this shipment with another "Ship with Group" value.

Hope this helps.

hi

Do you mean to say that you need to create a shipment after releasing all the orderbase lines ?

If that is the case do you have partial release from order base or you will have complete release from the OB line .

Hi,

What I meant is that you can get every order that belongs to each other (for whatever reason) in one order base as an order base line.
Once you release the order base into an order release, all order base lines that can be shipped together because of same source and dest. locations and dates are built in the same order release. Then you can build a shipment.

Use same value in Ship With Group field under Release which you want to consolidate.
Use Data Query or Operational Planning > Process Management > Bulk Plan Order Releases to schedule bulk planning to make it automatic. System will check the Orders with same Ship With Group value then build graph into Single Shipment.

Yes sangamesh thank you.
All the order releases of my OB will be populated with a ship with group and planned t shipment.
but where is the check pint to check if complete quantity of OB is released before planning.
My quantity gets released different times in differend days and no estimated cutoff.
when ever an OR is released it has to check if the complete quatity is released and this schedule bulk plan should run on completion.

While setting up Data Query it will be asked for Saved Condition under 'Based on Order Releases', so in Saved Condition you can check if the Order Release is released completely by using Order Release Line and OB Line table. If all quantities are released then only you can consider those Order Releases for planning. May be you can contact your DBA team for Query/Saved Condition.
