Error when unassigning orders from a shipment with a stop level data

 

If we have a multi stop shipment and each stop has refnums or remarks or involved parties, and when you try to unassign the  orders related to one of the stops in between, otm throws error . This will be fixed in Otm 6.2.7

        ** Update, there was data consistency issues after the fix in 6.2.7 (Patch is available), Ask oracle for a Patch

Workaround -

 

1. Manually delete the refnums and other stop level data from shipment before unassigning orders related to the stop

2.change the process to populate the stop level remarks before Tendering the shipment

With out Dynamic Pool Option (Default), OTM would select one of Pool A or  Pool B in Selection Order and Try to Build a Shipment From the Pool.

OTM Would not evaluate all the Pool Options .

To handle these scnearios, we can use Dynamic Pool where OTM would evaluate all the matched Pools for a Region

 

To enable Dynamic Pool , set parameters  as below
