  "objective": {
    "intro": "The objective of this test is to validate that Order Management correctly confirms the physical shipment of order lines that have already been picked and staged, and that the resulting shipment record accurately updates inventory and downstream billing eligibility.",
    "confirms": [
      "a picked and staged order line can be ship confirmed successfully",
      "on-hand inventory is decremented correctly once the shipment is confirmed",
      "the order line and order status update correctly to reflect shipment",
      "the confirmed shipment is correctly flagged as eligible for downstream AR Billing",
      "Oracle's validations correctly block ship confirm attempts against unpicked, held or already-shipped lines",
      "ship confirm behavior is consistent across different ship methods and carriers"
    ],
    "scope_note": "This scenario assumes order lines have already been picked via the separate Pick Release scenario and covers only the ship confirm action itself. It does not create a real physical shipment or a real financial transaction — this is test automation of Oracle Fusion Order Management, not an actual carrier pickup or AR invoice posting. Downstream AR Billing behavior is covered separately by the Accounts Receivable test library."
