Module-by-Module Detailed Content Outline
Module 1: Initial Setup & System Configuration Hierarchy
This module tests your ability to lay down the logical blueprint of an enterprise structure within Oracle WMS Cloud.
1.1 Company and Facility Architecture
Configuring Parent-Child company relationships to handle Multi-Tenant / 3PL (Third-Party Logistics) environments.
Differentiating between Company-level data (items, vendors) and Facility-level data (locations, inventory tasks).
1.2 Locations and Zone Management
Constructing the Location Master: Active, Reserve, Inbound/Outbound Dock, and Stage locations.
Setting up Location Size Types and checking standard capacity parameters (Length, Width, Height, Volume).
Configuring Tiers per Pallet and LPNs per tier to standardize material storage during execution.
1.3 Data Management Foundations
Creating, structuring, and maintaining the Item Master: Unit/Case/Pallet dimensions, weights, and barcode mapping.
Handling Lot Management and Expiry-Date Tracking scenarios (e.g., configuring valid item tracking combinations such as lot-tracked only, expiry-tracked only, or both).
Module 2: Core Inbound Execution Processes
Focuses on how inventory enters the warehouse, is received, validated, and optimally put away.
2.1 Shipment and Purchase Order (PO) Architecture
Differentiating between standard Purchase Orders (POs) and Advanced Shipment Notices (ASNs).
Configuring PO Types and Shipment Types to classify incoming freight.
2.2 Receiving Configurations
Executing PO-based vs. ASN-based receiving sequences via the user interface (UI) and Radio Frequency (RF) handheld screens.
Configuring Controlled Inventory Receiving and Quality Control (QC) holds on receiving stations.
Implementing SKU sorting mechanisms at the receiving dock (mapping Sorting Rules, Break Criteria, and Receive Station Locations).
Handling Serial Number Tracking configurations (setting company-level variables, validation levels, and handling item-level overrides).
2.3 Directed Putaway Optimization
Mapping out the end-to-end logical flow of Directed Putaways.
Configuring Putaway Types on Item Masters and mapping them to Putaway Locations.
Authoring Putaway Rules, defining priority ranking matrices, and adjusting for situational variations.
Executing Cross-Docking rules to bypass putaway and route stock directly to pending outbound orders.
Module 3: Core Outbound Execution & Shipping Processes
Covers how orders are grouped, inventory is allocated, tasks are issued, and shipments are finalized.
3.1 Order Management & Wave Planning
Understanding Order Entry / Interfaces, defining Order Types, and mapping specialized Order Attributes.
Configuring and running Wave Templates to bundle distinct outbound order requirements.
Configuring allocation priorities to ensure the system targets explicit warehouse zones (e.g., isolating allocations strictly to Area A vs. Area B).
Mastering the mechanics of the Only deallocate on Short flag within Order Type configurations to handle short-pick exceptions.
3.2 Picking Methodologies & Task Management
Differentiating between Cubed and Non-Cubed Picking flows.
Configuring and routing Pick Cart and Packing transactions (e.g., executing PackNC vs. PackLPN transactions without opening an inbound LPN).
Evaluating Consolidation Locations during the packing flow for cross-store distributions.
3.3 Load Management & Outbound Shipping
Grouping orders onto specific loads (utilizing parameters like WAVE_ASSIGN_LOAD settings).
Configuring Outbound Load Routes using routing modes mapped directly to Wave Templates or the Carrier UI.
Executing Truck Load (TL) Shipping and Parcel Shipping routines to clear out physical inventory.
Module 4: Inventory Management & Control
Validates the optimization and accuracy of stock status across all facility footprint types.
4.1 Material Movement & Replenishment
Configuring Replenishment Templates and understanding Movement Requests.
Mastering Replenishment Trigger Modes based on spatial metrics (Minimum/Maximum volumes, percentages, and locations).
Setting up Replenishment Rules and enforcing permissions (identifying Parent vs. Child level editing rights).
4.2 Cycle Counting & Discrepancy Auditing
Setting up and initiating Cycle Counting jobs.
Executing detailed cycle counts by scanning physical SKUs using screen configuration parameters like content-count set to sku-scan.
Managing, approving, and resolving inventory count variances.
Module 5: Technical Architecture: Reporting, Integrations & Security
Covers extending WMS capabilities and maintaining system boundaries.
5.1 Reporting & Analytics Engine
Using the internal Document Designer tool to create custom system labels (LPN, Pallet, Shipping labels).
Leveraging the Web Reports UI to configure, schedule, and distribute operations reports.
Configuring distribution channels (e.g., ensuring scheduled report recipients have an email actively registered with an in-system username).
5.2 Application Integration & Extensibility
Using standard, prebuilt APIs and interfaces to sync with host ERP and Transportation Management Systems (TMS).
Managing complex billing routines for Third-Party Logistics (3PL) client billing scenarios.
Extending WMS UI access via the built-in Visual Builder Cloud Service (VBCS) Mobile Framework.
5.3 Security and Access Controls
Defining operational boundaries across users and groups.
Enforcing system security using custom Screen and Menu configurations to isolate user functions depending on their designated roles.
Module 6: Advanced WMS Architecture & AI Capabilities
Validates knowledge of modern SaaS tools deployed in recent Oracle Cloud supply chain patches.
6.1 AI & Predictive Analytics Integration
Leveraging Machine Learning (ML) inside WMS to optimize warehouse slotting based on high-velocity velocity data.
Utilizing predictive models to anticipate task bottlenecks and labor utilization challenges.
Top Strategic Preparation Tips
Understand 3PL Scenarios: Expect a high number of scenario-based questions focusing on the interactions between Parent companies, Child entities, and distinct Multi-Tenant Facilities.
Memorize RF Screen Parameters: Pay careful attention to RF screen configuration parameters (like content-count or sku-scan mode) and how modifying them alters warehouse worker behavior.
Master Allocation Failures: Practice troubleshooting why a wave inadvertently allocates product from an unassigned area (hint: inspect task selection criteria and zone allocation restrictions).
