How to ship a suppliers sample part to a customer to sample?

Hi Experts,
We are an end to end Oracle shop, currently using Oracle R12 version.
I have a business scenario and am seeking your help to identify the best way to map the process in the system
Goal:
Ship sample parts received from suppliers to customers to sample
Assumptions:
Customers are globally situated;
Sample Parts do not exist in INVENTORY and On-hand Balances;
Samples from suppliers are tracked outside of system
Reasoning for Extension:
To create shipping documents for shipping sample parts to overseas customers for freight carriers and govt bodies like customs etc.;
To have sample parts visibility
Frequently, we receive sample parts from suppliers. While some parts are sampled within the organization, others are shipped out to customers to sample as well before these parts are added to Item Master and sourced for individual resale or roll up in an assembly for future resale. Many of these parts are high dollar value therefore creating proper shipping document along with documentation for customs is also necessary for international shipping. Client would like to map this process in Oracle Order Management so they can create shipping documents and track visibility of samples when they're sent out. I need help in identifying the best way forward to map this business cyclei n Order Management.
Many thanks in advance to you all, and, I eagerly await a positive response.
Regards,

So how to ship something that isn't shippable and doesn't exist as far as Oracle is concerned....
Just brainstorming but, I think I would:
Create a dummy sample item that is customer orderable, but not shippable, and has a cost of 0
Set up an item cross-reference that maps the true sample item description to the dummy sample inventory item
Set up your price lists to have the sample at 0 price
On the order, enter the cross-reference item into the ordered item field
Create a custom order header workflow copied from the standard order workflow with a custom process that creates the necessary shipping documents and sends to the shipping manager
Create a new order type for samples using the customized workflow
Create custom workflow for the lines that does nothing but close them

  • How many Ship-To-Parties are allowed for a single Sold-To-Party ?

    Hello Gurus,
    1) Could anyone tell how many Ship-To-Parties are allowed to be attached to a single Sold-To-Party ?
    2) Is there any system restriction from the side of SAP on how many could be attached ?
    3) If yes, then, please let me know what is the upper limit.
    Thanks,
    SR

    Hi,
    You can attach as many as you can.There is no limit for this.
    But we can control the number of ship-to-party's to 1.Not only "SH" but also any partner function can be controlled to 1 only.
    If you want to maintain more than one an error message will be displayed.
    The path for this is:
    SPRO>Sales and Distribution>Basic functions>Partner determination>Set up Partner determination-->Set Up Partner Determination for Customer Master.
    Double click on this.
    Check the Partner dertermination procedure assigned to your acount group.Select that one and click on Partner functions.Search for SH,there is a check box called as "Unique".Check this one.
    Save.
    In this case it will allow only once.
    Coming to your question we can maintain unlimited number of SH's.
    From SAP there is a restriction for one only but not more than that.
    The upper limit is unlimited.

    Krishna.

  • How do i create a multi part checkout form for my ecommerce checkout?

    Hey Guys,
    I was following this video on creating multi-part forms: http://www.bcgurus.com/tutorials/increase-conversion-with-multi-step-web-forms
    I'm trying to set this up on my checkout page (order_registration-us.html), but it seems BC does not let me do this. Upon submit, i am not sent to the step 2 form, but rather, i am given a receipt for the order. How do i setup the multi part form? Your help is greatly appreciated!

    You can not do that on that form as that form is looking to process eCommerce sales.
    Better question is why?
    In modern UI and UX design and methadology multi step forms are to be avoided, why do you need so many fields? IS your form one field at a time going down the website?
    If that is the case then you should look to design your forms to have multiple coloulmns and be smarter. Combining first and last name fields into the FullName field for example.
    Hiding the shipping fields and have a tick box and javascript to say "shipping same as billing" and so on.

  • How can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2?

    how can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2? I need to print a engineering print with lot of information but information is too small in letter size and I don't have a plotter.

    Two ways to print a portion of a page: zooming or using the Snapshot Tool.
    ZOOMING:
    Zoom into the area you want to print.
    Click the Print icon.
    Under "Pages to Print", make sure "Current view" is selected under "More options" (you may need to click "More options" to open it).
    If you aren't satisfied with the preview, try clicking "Fit" under the Size button.
    SNAPSHOT
    Choose Edit > Take A Snapshot.
    Drag a rectangle around the area you want to print. 
    Click the Print icon.
    Under "Pages to Print", make sure that "Selected Graphic" is selected under "More options".
    To enlarge the snapshot to fit the sheet of paper, choose "Fit" under the Size button.
    Hope this helps!

  • How Can We move Suppliers from SOB to Another

    Hi to All,
    Would like to know how we can move suppliers from 1 SOB to another SOB.
    Basically I was given a list of suppliers from a SOB and need to move those suppliers to another.
    If anyone has gone through these steps. Please advise accordingly.
    Thanks

    Hello.
    For the best of my knowledge, SET_OF_BOOKS_ID is populated at suppliers level but not used since all sets of books can share the same supplier.

  • How can I delete only one part of my xml file?

    Hello,
    I stored more than 100 users in only one xmltype column. For instance
    Create table agro(users XMLTYPE);
    ... and I inserted all users inside
    INSERT INTO agro values(XMLTYPE
    ('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <authentication><users><user>
    <name>cocoon</name>
    <password>cocoon</password>
    <role>admin</role>
    <title>Mr.</title>
    <firstname>Walter</firstname>
    <lastname>Cocoon</lastname>
    <company />
    <street />
    <zipcode />
    <city />
    <country>DE</country>
    <phone />
    <fax />
    <email />
    <bankid />
    <bankname />
    <accountid />
    </user>
    ... another user, etc.
    </users></authentication>'));
    Now I tried to delete only one part of this file. For example all persons with the name"cocoon".
    I used for this target the following statement:
    DELETE FROM agro agro
    WHERE agro.users.extract('authentication/users/user/text()').getStringVal()= 'cocoon';
    When I execute this statement, Oracle DB delete all users and not only with the name "Cocoon".
    How can I delete only one part of my xml file?
    Kind Regards
    M R

    This the expected behavoir. You uploaded a document containing multiple users and then asked XML DB to delete any documnet that contained a user with the name in question. The problem here is that you are creating a mega document that contains an aggregation of user documents but then trying to work with individual user documents. This is a bad idea.
    In general XML does not understand the concept of a collection of documents. It can only operate on one document at a time. Hence the tendancy to aggregate individual documents into a single larger document. Once you have an XML database, you can perform operations on collections of document, as easily as you can perform operations on individual documents, so the need to aggregate the individual documents together disappears.
    If you store each user document as a seperate document then your delete will work as expected.

  • How to manage different supply parameters for the same item based on demand quantity?

    We are using unconstrained ASCP.  We have some products that can be produced in a 'small' machine or can be produced in a large tank.  If ASCP has created a planned order for a quantity less than 1000 it will be made on the small machine with the supply quantity = demand quantity.  For example, we have a demand of 250, we will make exactly 250 on the small machine.  But if the demand quantity is greater than 1000 we will make the supply in the tank with a fixed order quantity of 1590.  Financially it will cost us less to do this and scrap the difference because the small machine is very expensive to run compared to the tank.
    The challenge is, say we need 1200.  ASCP generates a planned order for 1200 and all the dependent demands support 1200.  Now we want to make 1590 and we are short of materials.  This assumes we have set the item with no supply parameters.  On the other hand, if we set a fixed order quantity of 1590 but only need 100 then we we have to scrap the materials for the balance due to a short shelf life.
    Any ideas how to set a supply quantity using different parameters based on the demand quantity?

    Hi Mark,
    I personally don’t see any standard solution for this requirement especially with an unconstrained plan.
    However, if it is feasible, you can try below solution with a 'constrained plan with decision rules enabled' and check if it works,
    1.   1. Define two different items – Item A and Item B
    2.   2. Item A uses small machine in its routing and can have any demand that is below 999. So, Max order quantity = 999.
    3.   3. Item B uses Large Tank in its routing and is a substitute of item A. Also, fixed order quantity = 1590.
    4.   4. Define component substitution relationship between A and B. A and B will have identical BOM.
    In a constrained  plan with decision rules enabled, optimization logic will ensure that planned orders are generated for Item A whenever there is demand below 999. And for Item A, supply will always be equal to demand quantity. When the demand is more than 999, optimization engine will select substitute item B and will generated fixed supply of 1590 for it.
    Check if this satisfies your requirement.

    How do you cut out a part of an image on a photo that you have added to Pages. For example, if I have added a picture of a giraffe to Pages how would I cut out the giraffe from the image and get rid of the rest of the image

    You can use the instant alpha tool to make the background transparent.

  • How do i find my Apple Parts Numbers for my Macbook Pro?

    I have a macbook pro, 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo. Model number is A1212.
    I was wondering how I could find out what the correct apple part number is for a replacement top case. (the place where you put the keyboard).
    I have no problem replacing the case, I just need to know what the part number is.
    I also have another top case that I ordered off ebay and I would like to know how to find the correct apple part number for that case as well.

    A1212 is not your model number. Check here for model numbers:

    hi, my name is Laith I'm from Iraq I just want to know what are the steps for buying a new iphone 5 from apple store and how to ship it to Iraq ???? and I would be grateful for you

    Legality aside (I'm not a lawyer and have no opinion on the matter) in order to make a purchase of an iPhone 5 you would need to travel to a country where they are for sale and purchase it there. Be sure to get one that is officially unlocked or you would not be able to use it with your cell carrier. Be sure that your carrier supports use of the iPhone before you buy. Also note that the warranty of the iPhone is only valid in the country of purchase.
    Appe does not ship outside of the countries where it sells the phones.

  • How much phases power supply does the 875P Neo FIS2R got ??

    How much phases power supply does the 875P Neo FIS2R got  ?(
    And will it be enough for the Prescott  ?(

    Prescott will be made on a 0.09u process so it should use less power per MHz, I wouldn't worry about that.
    According to what I see it has 6 power regulators which usually means 3 phase.
