Order Release Actions for Shipment Creation

Bulk Plan:

Bulk planning is the consolidation of two or more orders into one or more shipments
Use this action when you want Oracle Transportation Management to determine the optimal shipment plan for multiple order releases at one time. Oracle Transportation Management builds direct or multi-stop shipments with the least cost.
Oracle Transportation Management does not automatically split orders to maximize equipment capacity, but tries to put as many whole orders as possible on a piece of equipment

When you initiate the bulk plan action, Oracle Transportation Management asks you to specify a parameter set that determines the parameter settings that are used to process the bulk plan. The default parameter set configured for the domain in Domain Settings appears if a default was configured

The bulk planner first bundles orders that have the same source and destination and then consolidates the remaining orders into multi-stop shipments, if possible. The remaining orders that cannot be bundled or consolidated are built into direct shipments

Show Routing Options:

Use this action when you want to create a shipment (buy or sell), and want to review and assign an itinerary from a valid list generated by OTM

Show Network Routing Options:

This action considers both itineraries and routing networks, and uses network routing to determine what possible routes are available

Show Network Routing Options - Ocean:

This action focuses on ocean shipments with the primary leg being the ocean leg. Instead of giving a list of possible routes, it shows the vessel options enabling you to pick the best option for you based on the most important leg.

Build Buy Shipment on Primary Leg:

The order will be scheduled on a main leg of a valid itinerary. Order movements are created for all the legs on the itinerary. Only the main leg order movement is scheduled to a shipment; either consol, ground schedule, or ordinary shipments


If the order release you are working with already belongs to a shipment, it is removed from that shipment and resent through the planning logic. Potentially, it can be put onto a new shipment

The order release status value is set to PLANNING_PLANNED - FINAL after a shipment is successfully created
