Overview of Inventory Transactions
Overview of Inventory TransactionsA transaction is an item movement into, within, or out of inventory. Atransaction changes the quantity, location, planning responsibility, andcost of an item.Oracle Inventory supports a number of prede ned and user-de nedtransaction types. Every material movement has a corresponding set ofaccounting transactions that Oracle Inventory automatically generates. Alltransactions validate the various controls revision, locator, lot number,serial number and secondary unit of measure! you enable for items.
Inventory Transactions "ou can perform the following inventory transactions#$ %eceive items into your organi&ation from a general ledger account
number.$ Issue items from your organi&ation to a general ledger account number. 'ransfer items from a subinventory in your organi&ation to another
subinventory in the same organi&ation.$ 'ransfer items directly between organi&ations.$ 'ransfer items between organi&ations by way of intransit. %eserve items for a speci c account or temporarily prevent the release of
items onto the shop (oor.Inventory Transactions without Documents andRequisitions
$ "ou can perform Inter-organi&ation transfers without using an internalrequisition or internal sales order.
$ "ou can use miscellaneous receipts to receive material without apurchase order number.
$ )se miscellaneous issues to issue material without approvals or adocument number.
$ )se subinventory transfers to transfer the location of material without adocument number.
Inventory Transactions with Documents and Requisitions "ou can use internal requisitions and internal sales orders as an approvalmechanism and to provide a document to trac* when you transportmaterial between warehouses or transfer material across inventoryorgani&ations.+ithin a single warehouse or inventory organi&ation#
$ )se move orders with a ove Order Issue transaction type to approve atransaction and to provide a document to trac* the issue of the material.
reviously, sales orders with approvals in the order cycle were used toissue the material and trac* the movement.
$ )se move orders with a ubinventory 'ransfer transaction type toapprove a transfer and to provide a document to trac* the transfer of thematerial.

$ /ocator 0ontrol$ /ot 0ontrol$ erial 1umber 0ontrol$ %evision 0ontrol$ ubinventory and locator peci c restriction for an item$ 2ual )O control
Miscellaneous Transactionsiscellaneous 'ransactions enable you to issue material to individuals or
pro3ects that are not in inventory, receiving, or wor* in process. 'hesecould include a research and development group or an accountingdepartment. "ou can also ma*e manual ad3ustments to the general ledgerby receiving material from one account to inventory, and then issuing thatmaterial from inventory to another account.+ith miscellaneous transactions we can#
$ /oad items when you implement Oracle Inventory.$ crap items by issuing them to scrap accounts.$ Issue items to individuals, departments, or pro3ects.$ %eceive items that were acquired without purchase orders.$ Enter ad3ustments and corrections to system quantities due to theft,
vandalism, loss, shelf-life e4piration, or inaccurate record *eeping.
Subinventory Transfer
+e use this subinventory transfer to transfer the item between twosubinventories of one organi&ation or between two locators of asubinventory.
)se subinventory transfers for#$ 'ransferring between asset and e4pense subinventories.$ 'ransferring between trac*ed and non-trac*ed subinventories.
Inter-Or ani!ation Shipment 'here are mainly two types of Inter-Organi&ation shipments
$ Inter-Organi&ation 2irect hipment$ Inter-Organi&ation Intransit shipment
Inter-Or ani!ation Direct Shipment+e use direct Inter-Organi&ation transfer to move inventory directly from ashipping organi&ation to a destination organi&ation.
'he validity of a transfer transaction depends on the controls you havede ned in both the shipping and destination organi&ations for the itemsyou want to transfer. 5or e4ample, you can transfer item A fromorgani&ation 6 to organi&ation ", even though item A is under lot controlonly in organi&ation 6 you can specify the lot numbers for item A in
8/10/2019 Overview of Inventory
3/29
organi&ation 6 during the transfer transaction!. "ou cannot however,transfer item 7 from organi&ation 6 to organi&ation " if item 7 is under lotcontrol only in organi&ation " you cannot specify lot numbers for item 7 inthe destination organi&ation because you are performing a directtransfer!.
Unit of Measure Conversions+hen you transfer items under dual )O control between organi&ations,the system honours the )O conversion of the destination organi&ation.0onsequently, the system could potentially recalculate the secondaryquantity for the item if the conversions di8er between the shippingorgani&ation and the destination organi&ation. 'he system alwaysprocesses transaction quantities in the primary )O . "ou must de ne)O conversions in both the shipping and destination organi&ation beforethe system can process the transaction.
Inter-or ani!ation Intranist Shipment "ou usually transfer material to intransit inventory when transportationtime is signi cant.+hen you perform the transfer transaction, you do not need to specify thedelivery location.
"ou only need to enter the subinventory you are shipping from, ashipment number, the freight information, and, depending on the inter-organi&ation transfer charge that applies between the organi&ations, apercentage of the transaction value or a discrete amount that OracleInventory uses to compute transfer charges.If the 5O7 point is set to %eceipt in the hipping 1etwor*s window, thedestination organi&ation owns the shipment when they receive it. If it isset to hipment the destination organi&ation owns the shipment when theshipping organi&ation ships it, and while it is intransit.+hile your shipment is intransit, you can update shipping informationsuch as the freight carrier or arrival date in the aintain hipmentswindow.At the time of shipment, you must de ne your receiving parameters forthe destination organi&ation. "ou can receive and deliver your shipment ina single transaction or you can receive and store your shipment at thereceiving doc*.
'he validity of a transfer transaction depends on the controls you havede ned in both the shipping and destination organi&ations for the itemsyou want to transfer. 5or e4ample, you can transfer item A fromorgani&ation 6 to organi&ation ", even though item A is under lot controlonly in organi&ation 6 you can specify the lot numbers for item A inorgani&ation 6 during the transfer transaction!. "ou can also transfer item7 from organi&ation 6 to organi&ation " if item 7 is under lot control only inorgani&ation " you can specify lot numbers for item 7 in the destinationorgani&ation when you perform the receiving transaction!.
Unit of Measure Conversions
+hen you transfer items under dual )O control between organi&ations,the system honours the )O conversion of the destination organi&ation.
8/10/2019 Overview of Inventory

0onsequently, the system could potentially recalculate the secondaryquantity for the item if the conversions di8er between the shippingorgani&ation and the destination organi&ation. 'he system alwaysprocesses transaction quantities in the primary )O . "ou must de ne)O conversions in both the shipping and destination organi&ation beforethe system can process the transaction.
Mana in Receipts "ou can receive both internally and e4ternally sourced shipments anddeliver material directly to inventory, shop (oor, and e4pensedestinations. "ou can also satisfy the following receiving business needs#
$ Increase receiving process control.$ treamline receiving throughput.$ Increase transaction visibility and traceability.$ rovide a common process for all receipt types
"nterin Receipt Information 'o process receipts, select the items to receive and enter the receiptquantities. If you change the unit of measure, the system ad3usts thereceipt quantity to re(ect the new unit of measure. "ou can override thisvalue if you are recording a partial receipt or are receiving more than thee4pected quantity. 'he quantity received on the corresponding purchaseorder or return material authori&ation % A! is updated to re(ect thereceived quantity.
Substitutions "ou can receive prede ned substitute items when you allow suppliers toship alternatives to the items that you order. 5or e4ample, you assigndi8erent internal item numbers to mountain bi*es of the same modelnumber but di8erent color. "ou have an agreement with your mountainbi*e supplier that allows him to ship white bi*es in place of blue bi*es.
Specifying Substitute Receipt Details "ou can select a substitute item in the /ines region based on the followingrestrictions#
$ "ou must allow substitute receipts for the shipments you receive.$ "ou have de ned substitutes for the items you receive.
+hen you query in the list of values for the item, the system displays allvalid substitutes for the item you want to receive. All subsequent receiptprocessing is identical to other standard and direct receipts.
Supplying Handling of Substitute Items+hen you receive a substitute item, the system removes the purchaseorder supply for the original item.
$ If you perform a standard receipt, the system creates receiving supply forthe new item.
$ If you perform a direct receipt, the system increments on-hand balancesfor the new item.
"#press Receipts and Receivin Transactions
8/10/2019 Overview of Inventory
5/29
'he e4press function is a quic* method of entering receipts and receivingtransactions. "ou can use an e4press receipt when the physical receiptquantity equals the e4pected quantity.
"ou can# 0reate a new receipt or add to an e4isting receipt for the supplier who
shipped the items you want to transact.$ pecify the supplier for new receipts.$ 0lic* E4press to select either the nal destination or the default receiving
location. Omit individual shipments that you do not want to process by selecting
the Omit action in the %eceipt /ines region. Any receipts that cannot be transacted with an e4press receipt will
remain in the %eceipt /ine region after you save your wor*.In order to enable the E4press button, the system must be able to derivethe supplier either by specifying the supplier or a O number.
Direct Receipt 'his enables to receive the shipment and deliver to the nal destination ina single transaction.
Standard Receipt 'his happens in 9 steps
:. %eceived into a receiving location in rst transaction9. 'hen deliver to the nal destination in a separate transaction
Inspection Receipt 'his happens in a ; steps process
:. %eceive into an Inspected location9. Inspect the details;. 2eliver to the nal destination location
Move Ordersove orders are requests for the movement of material within a single
organi&ation. 'hey formali&e the process to request the movement ofmaterial within a warehouse or facility for purposes li*e replenishment,material storage relocations, and quality handling. ove orders aregenerated manually or automatically depending on the source type used.
ove orders are restricted to transactions within an organi&ation. 'ransfers between organi&ations require an internal requisition.
Move Order RequisitionsA manually generated request, available for subinventory and accounttransfers.
'hese requests can optionally go through a wor*(ow based approvalprocess before they become move orders that are ready to be sourcedand transacted.
Move Order Requisition $rocess %low
8/10/2019 Overview of Inventory

ove orders can be created manually or automatically. Oracle Orderanagement automatically creates them to support the staging of ic*ing
+aves.ove Orders can be one of the following three types#
$ %equisition ove Order# 'o relocate material or ad3ust perpetual inventoryrecords
$ Inventory %eplenishment ove Orders# 'o re ll depleted inventorylocations
$ ic* %elease ove Orders# 'o replenish forward pic* locationsove orders will be manually or automatically generated, depending on
the source of the transaction.ove orders must be assigned detailed source and destination locations,
or used to identify shortages for further action. 'his process is calledAllocating, and must occur for all move orders.If the material could not be fully sourced because of a lac* of availablequantity, the ove Order is in bac*order and the unsourced balance canbe re-released at a later time.
ove instructions can now be issued for available quantities eitherthrough printing of a paper pic* slip or transmission to a mobile devicethrough ove Order A Is.
Move Order &pprovalsIf approvals are required on ove Order requisitions, Oracle Inventorymanages the approval process through Oracle +or*(ow.+hen the requisition is created, the wor*(ow approval process sends anoti cation to the item planner that a move order requisition line is
awaiting approval. 'imeout eriod is an organi&ation-level attribute that determines thenumber of days the order can wait for an approval action. After onetimeout period, if the order is still not approved or re3ected, a remindernotice is sent to the item planner. After another timeout period the orderis automatically approved or re3ected depending on the move ordertimeout action you determine at the organi&ation level.
'he ove Order 'imeout eriod and 'imeout Action are both inventoryorgani&ation parameters. 'hese inventory parameters do not override anyperiods set up by Oracle +or*(ow.
'he Item lanner is an item attribute. If no planner is speci ed for the
item, the requisition line is automatically approved.If no approvals are required in your organi&ation, set the 'imeout eriod to< and the timeout action to Approve Automatically.Once the order line is approved, notices are sent to a noti cation list thatis attached to the source and destination subinventories to let thesubinventory planners *now that material will be moved to or from theirareas.1ote# %eplenishment and pic* wave move orders are pre-approved.Move Order Type Source'$urpose $rocess

Move Order Components
Move Order Header 'he move order header contains the move order source type. 'his refersto the entity that created the move order. An order could be a pic* wavefor sales order pic*s, a replenishment type move order, a requisition forsubinventory transfer, and so on. 'he move order header also containsthe default source and destination if available, the order number, and therequested date.
Move Order Linesove order lines are the requests on a move order. 'hey contain the item,
requested quantity, the completed quantity if the move order has beenpartially ful lled!, and a source and destination, if *nown. 'he move orderlines also include any pro3ect and tas* references, if the organi&ation ispro3ect-manufacturing enabled. "ou can also enter speci c serial or lotnumbers on the move order lines.
Move Order Line Details
'he line details are the inventory transactions that will occur to ful ll aparticular request line move order line!. If the material is locator, lot, orserial controlled, this information is lled in at the line detail level. 'hesedetails are automatically lled in by Oracle Inventory using the inventorypic*ing rules and the item-transaction defaults for destination locators oryou can manually ll in the details. "ou can edit these details prior totransaction.
(eneratin Move Order Requisitions "ou use the ove Orders window to create move order requisitions byspecifying item, quantity, source, destination, locations, and other orderinformation. 5or each move order, an order number is required. A numberis defaulted for you if you leave the eld without entering a value.In the 2efault region, you can set up values that default to the lines.2efault elds are not required. "ou can set up a default transaction type of either ubinventory 'ransfer or ove Order Issue. A ove Order Issue isthe same as an account issue. "ou can specify the ove Order Issue foraccounts and account aliases. "ou can de ne a default sourcesubinventory, destination subinventory or account, for ove Order Issues,as well as the requested delivery date date required! for the material.
'he lines are the actual material requests for the move order. In the Itemtabbed region, you can specify the item, revision, and quantity, and youcan update the delivery date for that item. A move order requisition
8/10/2019 Overview of Inventory

manually requests subinventory transfers or ove Order Issues. 'heserequests can optionally go through an approval process before theybecome move orders that are ready to be sourced and transacted. 'heapproval process does not include dollar amount constraints.
De ning ro!ect and "as# InformationIf the organi&ation is a pro3ect manufacturing-enabled organi&ation, youspecify the pro3ect and tas* in the ro3ect and 'as* tabbed region.
De ning Source Information "ou use the ource tabbed region to specify the subinventory from whichto draw the material. 'his eld defaults from the header-level defaultbloc* but can be overridden if necessary. "ou can also specify the locator,lot, and serial numbers if *nown to use for the transactions. Only thesubinventory eld is required. If you do not *now from where the itemsshould come, the On ?and button ta*es you to an on-hand inquiry window
for that item to locate the material within your organi&ation.De ning Destination Information
"ou use the 2estination tabbed region to specify the subinventory oraccount for ove Order Issues that the material should be delivered. 'his
eld defaults from the header-level default bloc* but can be overridden ifnecessary. "ou can also specify the destination locator for subinventorytransfer move orders if *nown.
De ning Control Information "ou use the 0ontrol tabbed region to request a subinventory transfer or
ove Order Issue at the line level by selecting a transaction type. 'hiseld defaults from the header-level default bloc* but can be overridden ifnecessary. "ou can optionally specify a reason and reference code on theinventory transactions.
&llocatin Move OrdersAllocating is the process in Oracle Inventory that uses pic*ing rules anditem transaction defaults to suggest move order line details to ful ll amove order line. 'he line details are the inventory transactions that mustbe ful lled to complete the move order allocation. "ou can consider theallocating process as a sourcing process. Allocating occurs when you clic*
the Allocate button in the 'ransact ove Orders window.Suggesting SourcesOracle Inventory uses the pic*ing rules you set up at the organi&ation ororgani&ation-item level to suggest source locators, revisions, and lots tosource the material in order to ful ll a move order allocation.
"ou can optionally use the elect Available Inventory +indow to manuallyselect material. 'his window displays available inventory that meets thedemand the move order requires. It displays only material that satis esthe pic*ing rules that are in e8ect, and presents the material in order ofthe sort criteria on the pic*ing rules. "ou can then manually select the
material to allocate against the move order, and the system creates theallocations.
8/10/2019 Overview of Inventory
9/29
"ou can modify or delete e4isting allocations, as well as create newallocations. If you choose to create new allocations, the system chec*swhether the new allocation criteria drives the lot balances negative orwhether the lot is indivisible. 'he system honors lot-speci c conversions,process manufacturing quality matches, material status, and preferredgrade if you set the pro le option I1@# 'arget referred =rade to "es. 'heinformation that appears on this page is available according to the pic*ingrules you de ne, and sorted in the order de ned on the allocation rules.
Suggesting a Destination 'he pic*ing rules only suggest source locations. If the destinationsubinventory is locator controlled and no locator is speci ed on the moveorder line, Oracle Inventory generates a suggestion based on the itemsubinventory locator default you set up for move orders. "ou can set up adefault locator for each item that you want to move around the warehouseon a move order. 'his is not the same default type that you would use forreceiving or shipping.
"ou have two choices in transacting the move orders to transfer thematerial to the destination location#
$ &utomatic $ic) Con*rmation # 'he move order is transacted instantlyafter the order is allocated without any further human intervention. On-hand inquiries will show the material in staging. "ou can then perform shipcon rmation.
$ Manual $ic) Con*rmation # "ou can con rm the pic* of the move orderallocation. "ou can also update any pic*ing details such as the sourcelocations, lots or serials and to report shortages or inventory inaccuracies
and allow the system to generate more pic* suggestions. %eportinginventory inaccuracies enables you to request a cycle count in theinventory area where the material was not found if so desired.
Oracle S$ippingOracle hipping provides two choices for when and how you can ll in theline details. 'hese choices are made by setting up an organi&ationparameter but can be overridden at pic* release.
$ &uto allocate # 'he allocating process is done at pic* release instantlyafter the move order is created. 1o more human intervention is neededand the pic* slip can be printed automatically.
$ ic* release only creates move orders but does not ll in the line details. "ou must navigate to the move order form after pic* release and clic* onthe Allocate button. 'his option allows warehouse managers to determinewhen to release the pic* to the (oor and might be a better solution forimplementations running a global order entry with distributed warehousemanagement and or shipping. In these cases, orders can be released toregional warehouses from the central order management location inadvance and individual warehouses can schedule pic*s closer to actualship time.

Master Level vs, Organi'ation Level Item attributes are the collection of information about an item. )sing theItem Attribute 0ontrols window, you can designate whether an itemattribute is de ned maintained at the aster level or the Organi&ationlevel. Attributes at the aster level are the same across all organi&ations,giving you centrali&ed control over the values assigned. If an attribute ismaintained at the Organi&ation level, you can have di8erent values ineach organi&ation the item is assigned to and therefore havedecentrali&ed control over that attribute.5or e4ample, you can de ne and maintain an itemLs unit of measure at
the aster level. 'his means that the unit of measure is always the samefor the item, no matter in which organi&ation you assign the item. Or, youcan designate that an itemLs unit of measure is maintained at theOrgani&ation level. 'his means that each organi&ation you assign the itemto can have a di8erent unit of measure for the item.Some attributes can be maintained only at one of these levels.

tem Status codes. #n tem Status code has a user%defined set of "es and &o values forthe status attributes. The values are applied to the status attributes when you choose an
tem Status code when defining an item. For example, assume that you define an temStatus named 'rototype with all status attributes set to Yes except for $ustomer (rders!nabled. &ext, you define another item status, #ctive, with all status attributes set toYes . n the beginning of a product development cycle, assign the status code 'rototypeto an item so that you cannot place the item on a sales order. )ater, assign the statuscode #ctive to allow all functions for the item.*se pending statuses to automatically update an item+s status on a specified date. Foreach item, specify a list of pending statuses and the corresponding effective dates
