In R12 Oracle Shipping (WSH) is utilizing the workflow.
Advantages of Workflow
Advantages of Workflow
- Automate the Shipping business process by adding them in the Shipping workflow.
- Routing based on the business rules.
- Send the Notification to user about some Important event, e.g sending notification about
- Backorder deliver
- Dollar Amount or Volume in Delivery etc
- Best of all now with workflow user can visualize the Shipping process, by means of workflow monitor and thus improve our visibility.
- Integration with the 3rd party APIs will be easy , we can just add them where every they requited by customizing the workflow.
- In case we want to Print the documents at some point in the shipping flow, just add the Print document activity in the flow and it will get printed when workflow reaches to that activity.
- With workflow Audit Trail of acativites is easy.
In R12 Oracle Shipping has offered 3 workflow
- Delivery
- Trip
- Ship Confirm Process
- Shipping Transaction Form
- Quick ship user Interface.
Limitations - Some of the limitation of shipping workflow as of now are – As of now this workflow is subject to limited extensions
- You can’t add an activity in this workflow that required response from user.
- Extension of a workflow Defer activity not supported in this workflow.
- These workflows are available for Individual delivery .
Delivery Workflow has following Activities –
- Start
- Pick Initiated
- Ship-To-Delivery (Sub process for Ship Conform).
- End.

Please Note that Shipping workflow as of now available for outbound activities .
Delivery Workflow Triggering Events
This workflow will triggered as soon as an order line required picking is assign to a delivery.
Trip Workflow
Open
Set in Transit
Close

Please Note that Order line and Shipping workflow are 2 different things and not related to each other and it is not possible to drill down one flow from another.
Shipping Workflow –
It got triggered when a Delivery got created and First delivery assigned to it.
Ship To Delivery Workflow -
This workflow models the Ship Confirm Process, one of advantages of Ship Confirm workflow Process is, it supports extensions
As stated earlier advantages of the Oracle is everything is pick and choose , you can enable /disable this workflow as per your requirement , If you don’t want this workflow , just disable It.
That means if you are interested in the Delivery and Trip workflow and you don’t want Ship Confirm (Ship To Delivery) flow you can just disable the Ship Confirm flow and keep other flow.
Business Events
Shipping workflow has introduced lots of the business events, which when raised/received take the required actions (like calling of other workflows etc). These too again are optional and can be enable / disabled. If we look closely all these workflow , we can notice that we have lots of business events in all the flows.
Please note that once we select any type of the workflow
1. Delivery
2. Trip 3. Ship –To-Delivery
Some of events become core and system will not allow us to disable them. It is the business events that made the shipping flow flexible and we pick and choose what ever we like.
Shipping workflow Setup
Shipping flow can be setup by means of Selecting the workflow from the
- Global Parameters
- Shipping parameters
Global Parameters

Shipping Parameters
Shipping Parameters will do the setup only for the Organization level, where as Global Parameter will do the setup at the Application level. Auto Sync between Global and Shipping parameters has been provided.
Customer can customized any shipping workflow. Please do not customize/extend the Seeded workflow, rather take a copy of seed workflow as extend as per your requirement. Shipping has provided Lookup setup to assign your custom workflow. We have flexibility to assign custom workflow to all or few of the organizations.
Override Ship To Deliver Workflow – Oracle is Provide this profile option and if mark Yes this will Process the Ship Confirm workflow , In case it got stuck because of some Technical reason.
