select order_number, header_id, flow_status_code from oe_order_headers_all
where order_number = 66518;

ORDER_NUMBER HEADER_ID FLOW_STATUS_CODE

DELIVERY_ID is populated in the table WSH_DELIVERY_ASSIGNMENTS.

The RELEASED_STATUS in WSH_DELIVERY_DETAILS would be now set to ‘Y’ (Pick Confirmed) as Auto Pick Confirm is set to Yes ,otherwise RELEASED_STATUS is ‘S’ (Release to Warehouse).

select wnd.delivery_id, wnd.status_code
from wsh_new_deliveries wnd, wsh_delivery_assignments wda, wsh_delivery_details wdd
where wdd.delivery_detail_id = wda.delivery_detail_id
and wda.delivery_id = wnd.delivery_id
and wdd.delivery_detail_id = 3979467;

DELIVERY_ID STATUS
-----------          ---------
3785372              OP

Where ‘OP’ stands for Open and describes Delivery is Open, has not been shipped.

Ship Confirm the Order:

Navigation: 

Order Management Super User>Shipping >Transactions. 

Query with the Order Number.

Notice the following in the Lines/LPNs tab.
Detail: The delivery detail of the shipment
Delivery: The delivery that got auto created during pick release
Line Status: Staged/Pick Confirmed
Next Step: Ship Confirm/Close Trip Stop

Click On Delivery Tab

Click on Ship Confirm. A message pop ups confirming the delivery was successfully confirmed

This will kick off concurrent programs like INTERFACE TRIP Stop, Vehicle Load Sheet Details, Commercial Invoice, Packing Slip Report and Bill of Lading as shown in the below screen.

Underlying tables affected:

RELEASED_STATUS in WSH_DELIVERY_DETAILS would be ‘C’ (Ship Confirmed)

FLOW_STATUS_CODE in OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL would be “BOOKED“

FLOW_STATUS_CODE in OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL would be “SHIPPED“

Finding delivery details from OM to Inv as below

select delivery_detail_id, released_status, oe_interfaced_flag, inv_interfaced_flag
from wsh_delivery_details
where source_code = 'OE' and source_line_id = 408282;

Output as below

3979467          C         Y         Y

released_status = C (Shipped) -- becomes Shipped after ship confirm, even before ITS
oe_interfaced_flag = Y -- signifies ITS has interfaced shipping data to OM
inv_interfaced_flag = Y -- signifies ITS has interfaced shipping data to INV

As an optional step, you can check if the item has actually been shipped out of inventory.
Navigate to Inventory > Transactions > Material Transactions
Enter the following information in the Find Material Transactions screen and click on Find
Transaction Date : Ensure the transaction date is within the range specified
Source Type : Sales Order
Source :
-Evoke the LOV and click on the button Combinations
-Enter your Sales Order Number and Order Type Mixed, then click OK
-As 66518.Mixed.ORDER ENTRY

Go to the Transaction Type tab, and notice the line with Transaction Type as Sales Order Issue. This is the Inventory Transaction that happened when the item was shipped out of the warehouse M1, hence the negative quantity -20.
The other two lines with Transaction Type = Sales Order Pick, are for the move order transaction that happened automatically during Pick Release , when the item was moved from the pick-from subinventory to the staging subinventory. Hence there is one line each for a negative and positive transaction from/to each subinventory. The final shipment to the customer (sales order issue) is made from the staging subinventory.

Invoice

First check the status of the order line.
Navigate to the sales order form, and query your sales order. Go to the Line Items tab and check that the status of the line is 'Shipped'.
Go to Tools > Workflow Status to verify the workflow. This shows that the order line workflow is now at the Fulfill - Deferred activity with a status of Deferred as shown below. This means that the next steps is to run the Workflow Background Process.

Navigation:

Order Management >view >Requests and run the Workflow Background Process

In addition, notice that the AR concurrent requests Autoinvoice and Autoinvoice Import Program get kicked off automatically to import the invoices into AR. OM inserts invoice data into the AR interface tables through 'Invoice Interface', which runs in the background.AR picks up the data from the interface tables through the 'Autoinvoice' concurrent program.
