Pick Release process will in turn run few more concurrent requests like
Auto Pack Report, Pick Slip Report, Shipping Exceptions Report (These are what we have chosen in the shipping tab during Pick Release).

Tables Affected
If Autocreate Delivery is set to ‘Yes’ then a new record is created in the table WSH_NEW_DELIVERIES
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) if Auto Pick Confirm is set to Yes otherwise RELEASED_STATUS is ‘S’ (Release to Warehouse)
Pick Confirm the Order:
If Auto Pick Confirm is set to Yes during Pick Release, then this process will happen systematically.
In other cases, need to do this by doing a move order transaction
Inventory Super User > Move Order> Transact Move Order
Take the Move Order Number form the Shipping Transaction Form and find that and transact.
Ship Confirm the Order:
Order Management Super User>Shipping >Transactions
Find by Order Number.

Here you can find all the details
If the line status is Staged/Pick Confirmed, we can go for a shipment
Then Click on the Delivery tab.

Then Click Ship Confirm
Note: If Ship Confirm button is inactive, then please check to the user id you are logged in, whether Shipping Grant given or not. If not they add a shipping grant to the user id and try again.

Then OK.
The Status in Shipping Transaction form in Delivery tab should be closed.

Workflow Background Process inserts the records RA_INTERFACE_LINES_ALL with
INTERFACE_LINE_CONTEXT     =     ’ORDER ENTRY’
INTERFACE_LINE_ATTRIBUTE1=     Order_number
INTERFACE_LINE_ATTRIBUTE3=     Delivery_id

And spawns Auto invoice Master Program and Auto invoice import program which creates Invoice for that particular Order .

Check the Invoice:
The Invoice created can be seen using the Receivables responsibility
Receivables Super User> Transactions> Transactions
Query with the Order Number as Reference.

Parameters:
Give in the Start date and Post through date to specify the date range of the transactions to be transferred.
Specify the GL Posted Date, defaults to SYSDATE.
Post in summary: This controls how Receivables creates journal entries for your transactions in the interface table. If you select ‘No’, then the General Ledger Interface program creates at least one journal entry in the interface table for each transaction in your posting submission. If you select ‘Yes’, then the program creates one journal entry for each general ledger account.
If the Parameter Run Journal Import is set to ‘Yes’, the journal import program is kicked off automatically which transfers journal entries from the interface table to General Ledger, otherwise follow the topic Journal Import to import the journals to General Ledger manually.

ables Affected:
