Oracle Inventory

Basic Setup Labs


E-Business Suite R12
These labs were prepared for the purpose of
demonstrating basic Inventory functions.
Created By Edgar Arroyo

PREFACE
These labs were prepared for the purpose of demonstrating basic Inventory functions. They were developed
to assist an applications support analyst by:

Providing an introduction to navigating through Inventory application forms

Listing initial step by step instructions for data entry within the Inventory application to familiarize
a support analyst with the features and functions of common Inventory movements and
application maintainance

Demonstrating various support tips for O


Oracle
racle Applications, while performing common form
functions such using the List of Values feature, submitting concurrent requests, and general
System Administrator functions (System Administrator Responsibility)

Performing common inventory functions that all customers perform, such as defining and
maintaining items, issuing and receiving stock (items) into inventory, and performing stock (item)
replenishment.

Reinforcing Inventory concepts and functional issues that were discussed during class lectures

As a source of reference for future support issues that may arise

Feel free to do these labs as often as you want.


Experiment, change an item attribute, initialize a cycle count in a different fashion or define items with greater
inventory controls. If some of the terms mentioned here are unfamiliar to you, before the week is out, they
may just become part of your daily vocabulary while working in the support environment.
Remember; dont be afraid to make a mistake, YOU are here to learn.
The Labss can be performed on any release instance that has the Vision Demonstration Database installed.
However, several of the labs may not be able to be completed due to the flexibility of implementing Oracle
Applications. Examples would be
- Different item
em attribute settings
- Different organization parameters
- Data that may not exist
Should you have any questions, please contact edgar.arroyo@oracle.com .
If you find any inconsistencies within this do
document, please email edgar.arroyo@oracle.com .
