Fusion SCM – Printing Shipping Documents for Drop Ship Sales Order

by

Business has a common requirement to generate Shipping Documents (Packing List, Bill of Lading and Commercial Invoice) for the drop ship sales order from Oracle and share with Supplier(s), So supplier can use the selling organization’s shipping documents when shipping the products/items. This wasn’t feasible in the Oracle E-Business Suite world and the documentation was generated manually (outside the system).

Oracle Fusion allows to print Shipping documentation for drop ship orders. This is a nice and much need feature.

The shipment for a drop ship sales order is automatically created when the advance shipment notice (ASN) is created by the supplier on the Supplier Portal or by entering ASN in the Inventory (Receiving > Advance Shipment Notice). The warehouse/shipping manager user generates the Packing Slip, Bill of Lading and Commercial Invoice for the drop ship order based on the shipment number generated in the Oracle Shipping.

To print Shipping Documents for the drop ship orders, “Print shipping documents for drop ship orders” option should be enabled on the Receiving Parameters of the Receiving Inventory Organization/Warehouse. This option is a one-time setup step for your organization and can’t be changed for individual transactions.

Setup:

  • Setup and Maintenance > Search > Manage Receiving Parameters> Select Receiving Warehouse
  • Check “Print shipping documents for drop ship orders” option

Printing Shipping Documents:

  1. Create Advance Shipment Notice in Oracle Inventory (Receiving) for the drop ship purchase order
  2. Once the ASN is created, System creates logical receipt and ships the sales order line (Wash Away transaction > Inventory comes and goes away), since products/parts aren’t physically received.
  3. Go to Manage Shipment Lines and find out the shipment number for the drop ship sales order.
  1. Once you have the shipment number, then We can run Print Packing Slip Report, Print Bill of Lading Report and Print Commercial Invoice Report for the Shipment number.

    5. Below are the sample Packing List, Bill of Lading and Commercial Invoice documents for the drop ship sales order using standard templates.
