3.2 Receiving HTML UI - Enhanced LPN Receipt for a Multi-Distribution Project tied PO

With this feature, you can receive packed material for specific distributions in separate LPNs. This enables you to accurately track project, distribution, and LPN through
the receiving transaction flow. This enhanced functionality is applicable to the Standard Receipt routing and the Inspection Required Routing. This functionality is
available only through the simplified Receiving HTML UI. You can putaway these LPN receipts using the MSCA UI.

Category Name Technical Name Description

Changed Page Directed Receipt RcvExpectedReceiptPG.xml Added functionality to support LPN receipt at each distribution level which is tied to a project and task

3.3 Receiving HTML User Interface Enhancement for Returns

This new feature adds returns processing to the Receiving HTML user interface. The added functionality is the same as the returns processing available in the windows
interface.

The new Returns UI has infotiles with predefined queries to fetch the eligible documents without querying by a document number. For example, the ‘Rejected’ infotile
will fetch all the documents that have failed inspection; ‘Returned to Receiving’ infotile will fetch all the documents that are returned to receiving from inventory; and
‘Today's Receipts’ infotile will fetch all receipts performed today.

Category Name Technical Name Description

3.4 Return from Organization Different Than The Original Receipt Organization With or Without Oracle Shipping Integration

This new feature processes returns from different organizations without enabling the profile option RCV: Track Shipments for Return To Vendors. Lot and serially
tracked items that are moved to an organization that does not support lot and serials, cannot be returned using this enhanced process. This functionality is available
only through the simplified Receiving HTML UI.

3.5 Using Shipping Transaction Form to Generate Waves for OTM Planning

The integration between Oracle Shipping Execution and Oracle Transportation Management has been enhanced. The query manager in the Shipping Transaction
window is used to select delivery lines that are to be sent to Oracle Transportation Management. There is no longer a requirement to create deliveries to send to Oracle
Transportation Management. The new Create Batches for Transportation Planning concurrent program enables you to select delivery lines to create a batch. The
Shipping-Transportation Outbound Interface concurrent program then sends the batch to Oracle Transportation Management for planning. A batch corresponds to an
order release. When transportation planning is complete in Oracle Transportation Management, shipments are sent to Oracle Shipping Execution using the Planned
Shipment interface concurrent program. Oracle Shipping Execution uses the shipment information to create deliveries (if not already created) and trips. Oracle
Transportation Management allocates freight costs at order release and shipment level. With this enhancement, there can be multiple deliveries in Oracle E-Business
Suite for a single order release. In this case, the freight costs for the order release are prorated over the deliveries in that order release.
