Packout:
• Creates a "traveller" (i.e. a list of items to be configured) for build purposes, queues
travellers by production cell so that each cell can print their own documentation (and
not some other cell’s) on demand.
• At the time the carton is being filled, allows barcode scanning to record contents of
each box. Assigns a box tracking number and prompts for product serial number
entry. Serial numbers are stored for future use and to prevent issuance of
duplicates.
• Backflushes inventory from the system when the carton is closed.
• Determines if the box is ready for shipment or waiting for consolidation with other
boxes and routes it to correct shipping location. If box is ready for shipment, it is
released. If box is ready for consolidation the carton is tracked through its receipt at a consolidation center.
• Identifies last box in a ship set (delivery set) as it is received at a consolidation
center and flags personnel to prepare the shipment.
Canada:
• Created a separate installation of the General Ledger and Accounts Payables with a
separate set of books and separate currency.
• Allows transfer of data for Cisco General Ledger consolidation.
Product Configurator:
• Enabled Cisco to input "rules" regarding orderability (physical and technical
constraints on ordering) in a logical fashion rather than through code.
• Tied to Order Entry - as an order is booked, the order is validated against the
configurator.
OE Form:
• Altered process for translating discounts from major order lines to subsidiary lines.
Also changes manner in which pricing information is loaded into Oracle.
• Created the ability to allow for landed cost data to be entered on an order.
• Created the ability to allow for multinational orders—where the billing location is in
the US but the shipment is out of the US
• Added new fields to capture additional sales order data.
• Added a trigger at bookings to call the configurator.
Net Change Bookings:
• Creates information "synopsis" of the bookings on a daily basis.
• Creates a log of all order activity (plus or minus), which then is used by multiple other
systems for reporting.
